I ordered this cleaner on the 23rd of December and received it on the 3rd of January, just as indicated in the shipping information. Not bad considering all the holidays involved. I received it last night and with the help of a phillips screwdriver (4 screws) I was ready to roll. Today I cleaned 3,000 sq. feet of carpet. My carpet is only a year old and had not been cleaned before. The majority of my problem was pet stain. I used hot water in the water tank and straight distilled vinegar in the soap dispenser. I was delighted in how it made the carpet look new again. I was pleasantly surprised at how much water was extracted from the carpet. I would guess about 85-90%. The carpet was damp, but not wet and dried quickly. The machine was easy to clean after the job was done without having to manhandle it to clean the bottom compartments. When I was looking at this piece of equipment to purchase I was particularly look to see if the attachment had a rotating brush. It was not specified, and I didn't pursue it. The attachment has only the stationary brush. I have not used the attachment yet, but I am still extremely pleased with how the machine itself cleans, the amount of water it extracts (as well as dirt), and the ease of clean up after the job is done. I am pleased to say I put my new machine away looking as new as when I unpacked it. I highly recommend this machine. Worth the money!
