To begin with I was very fortunate as this was a prize awarded to my husband from a raffle. There is no way I would pay £350.00 for this cleaner, only due to the fact I couldn't afford it, if I was pretty well off and I knew what I know about it now then yes, it would definitely be on the top of my want list.

The unit itself is very compact, and weighs in at 12.1 kg, so pretty lightweight, because of it's small size it also makes it very easy to store. It comes in the usual karcher black and yellow, which is not very eyecatching but it is only a carpet cleaner I suppose. The unit has 7.5 metres of cable so can stretch a long way, and is particularly useful for the stairs. It comes with a floor nozzle and a hand nozzle which are both stored onboard the unit, and the hose itself is 2.5m long which again means not much stooping whilst cleaning.

It has a 1250watt motor and the unit itself is made form polypropylene plastic which they state is shockproof, unbreakable and rust proof, only time will tell if it lives up to this statement, but knowing how clumsy I am with my normal hoover the unbreakable part will soon take it's test with me. It is very easy to manouvre, with two large wheels to the rear of the unit and two smaller ones located at the front, There is also a handle on top of the unit, making it very easy to carry around.

There are two tanks in the unit, a 10 litre tank which holds your clean water, and another which collects the dirty water and holds up to 9 litres. The only drawback is when full, the unit obviously becomes very heavy for lifting, this can cause problems when cleaning the stairs, but at other times is not a problem.

They state that this unit is for domestic and commercial use, I personally think the unit is fine if you have a normal sized house like myself (3 bedrooms), but if you lived in a much larger house, then a larger unit would be more suitable. It can be used for deep cleaning of carpets, upholstery and textile flooring. The deep cleaning is no word of a lie either, with two children, dogs and cats and numerous children in and out of my house, my cream living room carpet does not stay cream for too long. With this unit you can really see the dirt lifting and the original carpet returning before your eyes. The unit works by obviously delivering the clean water into
