Very good at cleaning carpet/general dirt build-up. Very good controls.
Feels dry after 6 hours. The tanks are very easy to fill and empty. Excellent controls, there is no spray trigger, machine automatically releases soap when moving forward and vacuums only when moving backwards. You can also press a button for vacuum only. Button on handle allows you to switch between Auto / Max / and Vacuum Only settings which change the amount of soap mixture released onto the carpet.

Bad points
Noise is loud and slightly irritating.
Only OK stain cleaning performance. Loud and irritating (would recommend headphones or ear protection).
Borderline for stain cleaning performance. Loud and irritating (would recommend headphones or ear protection). Only OK when filling and emptying the tanks, there are only two small outlets to rinse the dirty water out and takes a much longer time to clean it thoroughly.
Small clean water tank means multiple fills are required for one job.
Borderline for stain cleaning performance. Loud and irritating (would recommend headphones or ear protection).
Poor for stain cleaning performance. The non-removable water tank has to be filled with a jug or bucket, for instance, which is not particularly convenient. Heavy unit and it would be difficult to move it upstairs in a two-story house, for example. Loud and irritating (would recommend headphones or ear protection).Note that since our test the shampoo required has changed and there is no need for a de-foamer.

Only OK at cleaning carpet/general dirt build-up. Poor for stain cleaning performance. Loud and irritating (would recommend headphones or ear protection).
Borderline only for stain cleaning performance. The cleaning head is fairly tiring to pull backward - the cleaning/vacuuming action works only when the head is pulled backward. The non-removable water tank has to be filled with a jug or bucket, for instance, which is not particularly convenient. Left over water in the clean tank must be emptied over a drain by switching the cleaning mode to "upholstery" and turning on the machine, which is not convenient. Heavy unit and it would be difficult to move it upstairs in a two-story house, for example. Loud and irritating (would recommend headphones or ear protection).
Only OK at cleaning carpet general dirt build-up. Only OK for stain cleaning performance. On "Max Setting", machine went through a lot of water and was the only machine that had to be emptied in the middle of a test.
Poor for stain cleaning performance. Loud and irritating (would recommend headphones or ear protection). Small clean water tank means multiple fills are required for one job.
