To start with I am a Car Valeter so am used to the Numatic George for wet vacuuming.
I needed a carpet cleaner as I have two dogs who run mud around the place like no tomorrow. I eventually bought this one after careful consideration.
It is extremely easy to use, simply screw it together, fill it up and hit 'go'.
The carpet cleaning is great, on some tough stains it is worth putting some weight on the brushes (I stand on it) and it penetrates deeper in to the carpet giving thorough cleaning.
The hand tool needs to be adjusted otherwise it just squirts to the sides too much, it is great for the sofas though.
Some people have complained about the weight, well it weighs the same as a normal hoover until you fill it up with water and being a large capacity vac, it holds a lot of it! Therefore making it heavy, if this worries you, take the tanks out before moving it, this is a 2 second job, just unclip and take out!
It has also been noticed that it is noisy, yes it is, but that is because it has a 750W motor in it! That water needs to be sucked up somehow.
The soap mixture is great, just put it in the small tank and it mixes it as it puts it on the carpet.
If you have one of these already, just use boiling water in it and it will work 90% better and dries quicker.
