We have a 2 year old new home that had never been cleaned with anything other than a vacuum cleaner. We have 2 dogs and a 2 year old so I was expecting this thing to pull all kinds of dirt and grime that we couldn’t see from our light colored carpet. It did pick up quite a bit of dirt that was evident in the collection bin by the brown water, but it did not have that wow factor that so many other reviewers had. I think in large part this is due to our vacuum cleaner doing a tremendous job. We have the platinum hoover vacuum and it made a huge differnce over our old vacuum. It’s basically the same as a dyson from everything I can tell when it coems to cleaning power. I would be interested if anyone else had a similar experience. I don’t think it left much behind for the steamvac to pickup honestly. I guess I’m glad there was not a ton or dirt and grime left behind that could only be extracted with a steamvac but at the same time I’m like what did I spend my money for.
I don’t have a lot of experience with steamvacs either but this one seemed to work well. Like others have said it leaves the carpet barely moist which is a huge plus for us since the dogs or kid are always running around. We didn’t have to banish them to other places for to long while it totally dried, which only took a couple of hours. Assembly was pretty simple and it didn’t take long to figure out how things worked. The attachment hose and tools are kind of funky to hookup but they did a wonderful job what little we used them. I’m anxious to try them on the furniture which is a big reason we got this. The attachment peice is basically a miniturized version of the floor cleaning peice with rotating scrubber heads and spray nozel that plugs into the machines cleaning solution. There is also a fixed brush attachement that I haven’t quite figured out what I would use it on. I would highly recommend reading all the instructions before putting this steamvac together or trying to use it.
