I love this machine and the suction it has, however the extractor attachment with the motorized brush SUCKS.

We found the hydro-rinse tool very handy to help flush out the hose, ridding it of trapped gunk and debris which can start to smell in storage. The 9m cleaning radius, including a 6m power cord, means you won't be left out of reach of a plug socket. Compact, lightweight, and easy to maneuver, the Russell Hobbs Athena2 makes vacuuming your home a breeze. We especially liked its “stain trapper” tool that keeps nasty pet messes from reaching the hose or dirty water tank where they can settle and cause odors. I did better hooking up a scrub brush to my dril to scrub the needed areas and then use the regulars extraction tool to suck up the water from the carpet.

In our tests, the nozzle’s rubberized bristles even grabbed pet hair while removing stains for a more thorough attack on pet messes. We applaud the large tanks that need refilling less often, but that does make it heavier to carry than smaller models, especially when the tanks are full. Weight: Carpet cleaners with hoses stand on their own while you're using them so all you're really lifting is the weight of the nozzle, but they do need to be carried from room to room and perhaps up and down stairs.

We especially like that it features a built-in rotating brush for better deep-cleaning, but we also like that the brush can be switched off to clean delicate fabrics like hand-woven rugs and velvet.

The motion upright’s large 3-liter dust container means you won’t need to stop every five minutes to empty the dirt and debris into the bin and the air swivel technology means you’ll be able to move around furniture with ease. These supple, smooth low pile rugs with a 100% microset polypropylene pile are stain resistant and non-shedding. I used to panic when someone would spill something in our house, which led to a lot of freaking out and yelling. Tracked-in dirt, food spills, pet messes and more can turn these areas into eyesores instead of the warm, welcoming spaces you want them to be. Portable carpet and upholstery cleaners are designed to be ready to use at a moment's notice when spills happen, so if there's leftover solution in the clean water tank when you're done using it, it's fine to leave it there for the next time.

Tank size: Large tanks mean less frequent refilling and emptying for larger jobs, but remember that large tanks weigh more when full and can be heavier to carry up and down stairs. corded: Cordless cleaners are more portable, but check how long they run and how long they need to recharge, especially if you’re using them for bigger jobs. It has an 8 m cleaning radius including a 5 m power cord, so you'll rarely be out of reach of a plug socket.This machine I purchased to give me the capacity to detail my car more thoroughly than I had before, as well as still handle small spills and things around the house. Because some of these machines can be quite loud, we send the machines to be evaluated by Quiet Mark, an independent organization that evaluates products for the sound levels they produce. As a mama of 3 kids, i had stains everywhere I tried out the hoover clean slate to spot clean my dining chairs and rug and I was so happy with how clean my chairs and rug look.
