    _____ *Pros: -It’s the lightest & quietest carpet cleaner I’ve ever used. -Easy to maneuver through tight spaces. -Both tanks can be removed using one hand. -Hot water is not needed. -Don’t have to pull on a trigger to release the soapy water. -The iLoop smart sensor gets it right most of time and releases appropriate amount of soapy water. -PowerDry really works and carpet dries up quickly. -Big and colorful display. -Cool-look design that isn’t bulky or too appliance-like. -Voice reminders are loud and can be heard over the motor. -Simple to disassemble and clean. -Comes with a long extension hose for stairs and cars. -Perfect tool for pet owners and parents with small children. -2-year warranty is nice. _____ *Neutral: -The iLoop smart sensor doesn’t always get it right and releases too much solution. _____ *Cons: -None The Tineco Carpet One Complete is my third carpet cleaner and it’s the best one I’ve used yet and also my most favorite. It also looks pretty slim and attractive for a carpet cleaner, with most other units looking very industrial, boxy, bulky, and drab. It’s also very light and easy to handle and maneuver as a result. I’ve never enjoyed cleaning carpets as it’s boring and tedious, having to wait for hot water with each fill-up, pulling on the trigger to release the cleaning solution hoping to get the amount right, and moving the heavy and bulky machine back and forth to quickly dry up the carpet. When I upgraded my first carpet cleaner, which cost around $150, to my second one, which cost around $250, I gained marginal improvements, such as a slightly quieter motor, less messy cleaning and dirty water tanks, and a less bulky design. With the jump to the Tineco Carpet One, there’s been numerous quality-of-life improvements like a sleek and attractive-looking design that is both much lighter and quieter, a more powerful motor that deep cleans way better, an effective dryer that reduced the drying time by about 50%, and not having to deal with hassles such as waiting for hot water and always pulling on a trigger to release the cleaning solution. The Carpet One is labeled as a “smart” carpet cleaner because of its sensors that detect humidity and dirt levels. By scanning for the amount of dirt and grime, the machine intelligently releases the cleaning solution in appropriate volume levels that prevent unnecessary soaking of your carpet beyond what’s needed. This sensor works pretty well and I didn’t have to second-guess its judgment by switching over to the manual mode and releasing additional solution. Once in a while, the sensor got it wrong and said that a previously cleaned part (blue on the screen) was dirty and the screen changed to red. It doesn’t happen frequently, though, so it’s something I can easily tolerate. With two dogs and one cat, my carpet was pretty grimy but the Carpet One did an excellent job sucking up all the dirty stuff. The humidity sensor was totally awesome as it detects the wetness levels and blows hot air to speed up the drying time. Instead of waiting 1.5 to 2 days, the carpet was completely dry in about one day, with some spots drying up even quicker. The motor is pretty quiet, and it doesn’t drown out every other sound. I would say it’s only slightly louder than my Dyson V8 cordless vacuum. There is a speaker that fires off female voice prompts that remind you when the dirty water tank needs to be emptied, and when the cleaning solution needs a refill. Such prompts were short and to the point and not annoying at all. Inside the box, there’s an 8-ft-long extension hose and it’s perfect for car cleaning days. The machine did an excellent job cleaning up our dog’s mud and dirt from the dog park as well as my 1st grader’s spilled food and drinks on the floor mats. At $500 (as of 2022-06-06), the Carpet One is about four times more expensive than the basic carpet cleaners you found at big-box stores, and you might wonder if the price premium is worth the extra coin. I can definitely say that it is. There’s just too many positives that justify the price: light and attractive-looking package that’s not an eyesore that gets hidden away in some corner, a powerful motor with a quiet operation, smart sensors that automatically dispense the correct amount of cleaning solution and speeds up drying, a big and colorful display that shows the cleanliness level of your carpet in real time, and voice prompts that remind you to empty the dirty tank and refill with more solution. Oh, and it’s also tool-free and very easy to take apart the unit to clean the brushes and wipe the sensors. It’s a complete 5-Star Win.

    Absolutely LOVE this thing! We were recently puppy sitting for a friend and had the dreaded dog doo mishap with our Roomba...this cleaner came in so handy. It is simple to set up, and I was surprised to see that two bottles of cleaning solution were included. Just with one pass over our carpet it was crazy to see how much it cleaned up. I did a few passes and had to empty the water in between, but it was super simple. Once I was done, every piece of the machine is so easy to take apart and disinfect which I was thankful for (pictures below). I can't wait to use the hose attachment on the stairs!

    I have used a few carpet cleaners in the past and needed something that could stand up to carpet that has had some miles on it. Revived the threads and extracted the dirt. Biggest headache with carpet cleaners is the length of time it takes for the carpet to dry. The Carpet One Complete gets the right amount of water down, without soaking for a quick dry time. Tineco does it again!

    I am a hugeeee fan of my Tineco s3 so I was so excited about this. I have had other carpet cleaners in the past but upon reading the reviews for this I almost didn’t blink dishing out the money for it. However, I was disappointed with it and returned it. It did pull a lot of dirt out of my carpet but I don’t feel like it was saturating certain areas enough (like my cream area rug) to really brighten it. Since it’s a “smart” machine, it decides how much solution to dispense and even on max mode I feel like it sucks most of it right back up. It does dry well but in my opinion it’s because it’s not putting out much solution to begin with. I went over a small area where my mini dachshund had an accident and I could still strongly smell exactly where it was. I live in a new build home and own a cleaning company myself so we are pretty clean in general so it didn’t have much work to do in the first place. But pet accidents are a huge reason as to why I think people buy these type of machines and unfortunately this one just did not perform how I’d like it to. Ultimately I returned it like I said above and I went with a pretty affordable option in a different brand. I will still love Tineco as a brand, but I feel like giving some manual options to this would really be helpful.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This Tineco Carpet One Complete Smart Upright Carpet and Upholstery cleaner incorporates the latest in technology. It literally does everything through “smart” tech when cleaning and drying carpets, rugs and upholstery. There are also accessories included to help with more than just the cleaning the carpet. • The key source of information is found on the digital display. It is positioned perfectly so that you can see it when you are cleaning. It provides all the symbols for different ways to clean with its technology. Another cool aspect is the female voice prompts. It alerts you when the DWT (Dirty Water Tank) needs to be emptied. (If you don’t empty it, the Tineco Carpet Cleaner will shut down until you detach and dump out the waste fluid from the DWT). The accessories are an 8 ft hose, a 2 n 1 nozzle, a Brush Roller and a special cleaning tool (two medium sized bottle of cleaner are also included). These items are best used on couches, stairs or other places the upright cannot go. I was a little disappointed with the suction of the hose because it was not as strong when compared the Upright part of the cleaner. There is also a Tineco App (you can still use the appliance without the App) to download and use with your Wifi. The button on the back of the handle is how you link up to the App. It keeps you up to date on how you use your Tineco Cleaner, but please read the instruction booklet. It was very detailed and helped to provide the precise things you need to do to run and use the Tineco Cleaner. • I put together the Tineco Cleaner (really easy) and was ready to use it. It is only 26 lbs! I filled up the CWT (Clean Water Tank) to the fill line and add two lids of cleaning solution and warm water. Now I was ready to go and clean my carpet and rugs. I started the Tineco Cleaner simply by touching the star symbol on the handle (by your thumb) and the voice prompted me to Auto, Max or Dry modes. Tap again to select the mode you want to use for cleaning or drying. • So these are the three modes and here how they work and what they do. At an even temperature of “104 degrees” (monitored by the Tineco Cleaner) the solution comes out and cleans the carpet. o The Max mode puts out as much as it can possibly can of the solution to clean an area. It quickly uses the most solution, but it does clean and penetrates the carpet better than the other two modes. o Auto mode is pretty amazing (I use this most often)! The Tineco Cleaner has a sensor on the bottom of the appliance that gives all the information about what and how to clean, self sufficiently. All I did was move the Tineco Cleaner back and forth on the Carpet and rugs. The spots that were dirtiest showed up by outlining "iLoop" on the digital display. From dirty to clean, the "iLoop" turns RED circle and then to BLUE when clean. Once I was BLUE, I knew that spot was clean because of the "iLoop" Technology. This really makes cleaning your carpets easy! I cleaned a front door inside rug with 4 bottle caps (2 at a time in the CWT) and had to empty the DWT twice as well. The before and after says it all for me about what an amazing job the Tineco Cleaner did. The knapp of the rug reappeared and the color of the rug was much more vibrant. Very impressive work for the Tineco Cleaner when all I had to do was choose the mode and move Tineco Cleaner around a rug or carpet. In my experience with the Tineco Cleaner, it cleans better the slower you go. You will have to fill the CWT and empty the DWT more often, but the DWT shows you the dirty colored water. Two passes did a great job in my opinion. I found a happy medium where I was satisfied with the speed I moved the Tineco Cleaner and the solution used on the carpet. o The last mode was the Dry mode. Just like it says, it quickly dries the solution as you move the Tineco Cleaner around the carpet area. It dries the carpet fast!! I was really surprised but at “167 degrees” (monitored by the Tineco Cleaner), it should dry fast! This kind of heat is the most effective way to flat out “refresh” carpet. On the digital display there is a meter 0-100, an “Eyedry Meter.” I used Tineco Cleaner to dry the wet carpet. The wet areas where low on the meter while the dry areas where high on the meter. Once I reached the 100% on the meter, I knew the carpet was dry. In this way I saw how the Tineco Cleaner worked efficiently to help with cleaning the carpet and rugs by drying them as well. • I was able to use the Tineco Cleaner on dirty tracks in the carpet until the voice prompt said that the DWT needed to be emptied (it was full of dirty solution). I took care of that and then filled up the CWT with 2 bottle caps full of cleaning solution and water. I did this procedure 4 times tying to make the most of each round of cleaning the carpet. I probably was a little conservative on the amount of fill ups I did with the CWT and solution. I think if I worked a slower and the carpet could be even cleaner. I do want to say that the carpets looked even cleaner the next day! The knapp of the carpet was softer and cleaner as well. The Tineco Cleaner is great tech cleaning machine! It is also recommended you rinse a black tiny square like filter pad taken from the front panel of the Tineco Cleaner. It protects large objects from ruining the machine but still allows the solution to go through. It is also recommended removing the protection plate from the front. I took this part off and just washed this part out for any debris that came from the carpet. I do want to add both the CWT and DWT are really easy to take off and put back on, by pulling on the handle each one has. • The carpets were cleaned, in my estimation faster than I thought it would take. I also wanted to tackle some rugs needed to cleaning. First up, was a long color block rug that really needed to be cleaned I first used Auto Mode which applied more of the solution on these dirtiest parts of this rug. Then I used the Dry Mode on the same side. The other side I didn’t touch. What a difference! One side was now clean and the other side was visibly dirty. Even the knap of the rug was restored because of the deep down cleaning from the Tineco Cleaner! After that I went and cleaned the other side of the color block rug. I am very impressed with the results. The Tineco Carpet Complete Smart upright Carpet and Upholstery cleaner is an outstanding use of technology that can really improve carpet life. Because the cleaning is so thorough, you are left with less dust and/or dirt particles that could affect your quality of life. Breathing better, less sneezing or playing on the carpet, the Tineco Cleaner with help to purify your carpets, where you live and move. This is by far the easiest carpet cleaning machine I have ever had the pleasure to use. Pretty much everything is done by the electronics, leaving you to only fill the CWT water and cleaning solution and empty DWT.

    It's pricey, but it's been worth every penny. Cleans very well and the dry mode feature works amazingly well. It's also very well made and has a consumer friendly design that makes it easy to clean. Granted, positioning things properly is tricky at first. For example, when replacing the cover for the front brush, you need to tilt the entire unit back for the cover to go back on. The water tank is also a little finicky at first but after a couple times of use, I got the hang of it. The big feature here is drying and it's a big time saver. Some carpets have dried after as little as 3 hours, while others have dried completely overnight. I have run it on regular and max mode, and it does not change that timeframe for drying. The key here is to actually use dry mode to dry the carpet quickly, otherwise it doesn't make that much of a difference. The dry meter works fairly well. While the carpet won't be dry immediately when the meter says it's fully dry, it will be dry within several hours. The unit is also pretty light and surprisingly quiet, considering. I have only ever used a Bissell prior to this, so it cleans at least as well as that. Have not used a pro cleaner before, so I wouldn't be able to give a proper opinion on that. Only downside to the thing is the tank is small and needs refilled more often. The amount of soap used is only a cap full, so soap isn't consumed more than any other cleaner. Maybe less than.

    quick and easy to setup! very light and easy to maneuver. We've been looking for a carpet cleaner since finishing our basement with carpet, the dog brings in dirt from outside and this is amazing to quickly cleanup the mess! Also love for our rugs, especially our lighter colored rug on that patio that gets extra dirt. would highly recommend!

    my carper was so gross

    This made sure my carpet was less gross. I have been needing a carpet cleaner for a long time, I have roommates and dogs. This is a great addition to my house cleaning. I had been just vacuuming for a long time, and my rugs were starting to show it. This is not lightweight, it is heavy and heavy duty. Setup is pretty simple, If you download the app it will show you step by step what to do. My first try I did have some technical issues. The dirty water tank (DWT) kept having an error. I did have to contact the company. There is a float sensor in the DWT that had gotten stuck and they had to show me how to fix it. It is a super easy fix, but I have included a picture that may help you if you have the problem I did. When you turn this on the first time, it is loud just a heads up. When you go forward it cleans, and you pull back it sucks and dries the carpet. You will need to put in some arm work to do this. A powered wheel would have been great, but there is not one advertised so I will not take away a star. But do move slowly forward and back to make sure you clean. I only cleaned a small part of 1 rug, and the DWT water was super gross. I know this will take some time. The carpet was still damp, so I did turn a fan on to help dry the rug. I can see and feel the difference in the part of the rug I did clean and the parts I have not. There are several features I have not explored, and I have not gotten to all of the app yet.

    Overall, I ended up liking this carpet cleaner. I had some concerns at first because the included instructions were very limited, and I wasn’t sure how well the device was cleaning. But once I started cleaning multiple rugs and stained furniture, I could clearly see the difference in cleanliness. To be clear though, this is not an industrial size professional carpet cleaner, but for cleaning around the house, this carpet cleaner does a good job. I really appreciated the simple design, which is like a vacuum cleaner. And the different parts, such as the water tanks, are easy to use, and simple to clean. The included instructions are very clear on how to setup the unit. But there was very little in terms of suggested cleaning tips or descriptions on the proper way to use the unit. Also, the included hose attachment came with two scrubber attachments for the nozzle. Unfortunately, the instructions gave no guidance on the purpose of each scrubber. One is hard bristles and the other one is rubber nubs. I found the hard bristles worked better on my couch cushions. After a day of use, I figured out the best way to use the unit. The unit comes with a feature called the iLoop Smart Sensor. It’s supposed to determine the level of dirtiness of the area you’re cleaning. I found my unit wasn’t very accurate. It would show me a blue ring, meaning clean, in areas I haven’t even cleaned yet. And I know my rug was dirty because it has never been cleaned with a carpet cleaner in the 5 plus years that I have had it. The indicator ended up not be very useful for me, however, I felt confident that after multiple passes over the same area on the rug, the unit was doing a good job pulling up the dirt and cleaning the fabric. It’s very possible that sensor can be improved with an update from the manufacturer. The companion app does have a section to allow for firmware updates. The unit’s drying feature, on the other hand, worked really well. After multiple passes, the indicator would eventually show the area as dried. After testing the area with my hand, I can tell the rug was not left soaking wet, and the unit did a great job sucking up any excess cleaning solution and applying heat. It cut down on the overall drying process considerably. In terms of cleaning, the unit did a very good job for being a consumer level carpet cleaner. As can be seen from the pictures I posted, the carpet cleaner was able to pull up a lot of dirt from my rug and left areas visibly cleaner. The provided hose attachment also did a good job removing some heavy stains from my couch cushions. Using the hose required more scrubbing and multiple cleanings, but the stains were greatly reduced (see pics). On another rug in my house, my cats unfortunately like to cough up their hairballs on it. I used a black light to show a dirty area that remained even after I initially clean up their mess (see pics). I went over it with the carpet cleaner and found that it did a good job cleaning up those areas too. This particular rug is a high pile type, meaning very long fibers, but the unit did well on that type of rug too. And when it came time to empty the dirty water tank, the dark brown water was a good indicator of how much dirt and grim was pulled up using this device (see pic). Another positive aspect of this unit is the simplicity of cleaning it after use. The dirty water tank can simply be rinsed off thoroughly. The included scrubber brush does a good job wiping off the excess dirt and gunk from behind the roller. And the roller itself easily comes off so it can be rinsed too. All other parts can be rinsed with warm water and left to dry overnight (see pic). The best part is that each piece simply snaps back onto the unit after they’re cleaned. It’s not a highly complicated device. Its design is such that it's simple to use in my opinion. Again, aside from the small technical issues mentioned above, the unit does a good job cleaning carpets and rugs. I was very happy with how well the hose attachment cleaned dirty areas on my couch. Using the attachment takes more “elbow grease,” but it’s nice no longer having visible stains. I’ve used other carpet cleaners in the past, and many of them are bulky and contain many complicated parts. Not to mention, they offer a multitude of cleaning solutions for the one unit. I find the different cleaning solutions as unnecessary up sales. It’s nice that this unit uses one cleaning solution. This simplicity adds to the convenience of this carpet cleaner. It doesn’t require much maintenance and it’s simple to use. And I am satisfied with how well it cleans.

    Tineco Carpet One Carpet and Upholstery system comes complete with everything you require to start deep cleaning your carpets and upholstery right out of the box. Setup is a snap and intuitive, after un-boxing assembly took little over fifteen minutes. There is a guide for assembly in the user manual which is simple to follow. After reading manual and familiarizing with the controls and operation was set for first go at Deep Cleaning our carpet, and a few places were in serious need of a good cleaning. Manual will walk you through operation as well as phone app. Though the operation of system is straight forward and easy to use the documentation needs improvement. Operating the Tineco Carpet One the first time was simple and effective in cleaning our carpet. There was a spot of heavy traffic that had not been cleaned in a while, was concerned that the cleaner would not be up to the job. Happily, the Tineco Carpet One made quick work of the staining, did have to go over the area a few times but came out sparkling. Using the accessory hose and nozzle was able to clean along baseboard and front edge of couch with excellent results. Bottom-line the system is brilliantly effective at cleaning carpet quickly and essentially effortlessly without hassle of dealing with mega-sized commercial cleaner. System is not tiring to operate and moves about smoothly while you are cleaning your carpet. My wife loves the system and after my testing and setting up she has taken command of the little cleaning beast. The System includes: - 8-foot Accessory Hose for hand nozzle attachment - Two bottles of carpet cleaning and deodorizing solution - A little solution goes a long way - Spare Brush Roller - Cleaning Tool Results are compelling with professional results, it’s an amazing cleaning system in a stylish motif. Note that the cleaning solution leaves a fresh scent to the carpet, like that. Highly recommended.

    Cleaner Carpets, Picks Up Lots of Hair, Easy Usage

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Tineco is a new brand to me as I have never heard of them. With the opportunity to try out the Carpet One Complete Smart Upright Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner, I was slightly skeptical of what I should expect out of this machine given I have never heard of the brand nor used one in a consumer grade fashion. Well, I am happy to say I am satisfied in all aspects of the device! In the Box: Easy to Assemble - Carpet One Cleaner (Comes in about 4 main pieces that snap together) - Manual - 2 Bottles of Cleaning Solution - Some cleaning/tool attachments Setup/Usage: Vacuum First, Start Cleaning The app setup is fairly simple. Download the Tineco Life app and follow the setup instructions. This does include scanning the barcode on the unit itself which helps identify your machine and connecting to Wi-Fi. After this is complete, you can update the firmware, download additional animations, keep track of your runtime for cleaning, and adjust a couple small settings including the annoying voice (Which I could not get to turn off despite it being muted in the app?). Once setup, grab the water container and pour two capfuls of the solution into it and fill the rest with warm water. Snap the tank back into the unit and make sure the dirty water tank is snapped on as well and you are ready to go. The settings you have available for cleaning are: Auto, Max, and Dry. Auto: “Automatically adjusts suction power and water volume needed to clean” Max: “Professional-grade cleaning to remove deep-down embedded stains, dirt, and odors. Great for cleaning high-traffic areas” Dry Mode: “Powerfully extracts water residue from the carpet while releasing steady hot air” I used all three of these settings for cleaning two type of carpet in our home. I would HIGHLY recommend vacuuming PRIOR to using this cleaner if you have any pets. We are religious about vacuuming at least once a week in our home with a nice Shark vacuum and I am shocked (but also not surprised) at the amount of hard that the carpet cleaner pulled up even still. I only had one stain that I could test this unit/cleaner on and it worked well but I did not expect it to be able to remove the stain fully. It did about what I expected that it could which was remove about 50% of it. The water tank is fairly small. On max mode (100% water spray), I was able to do about a 15x15 square (150ish square feet) before the tank ran out. It’s actually a perfect time to stop because at this point you’ll be pushing around balls of hair so cleaning the removable cover to free all the hair inside is a good idea. On Auto mode, most of the time the machine ran on 20-40% water spray as the sensor did not detect much dirt. This is expected as we don’t wear shoes inside and vacuum every week. The water tank will get more runtime before running out but not a much. Again, the amount of hair is substantial. I tested the dry mode by leaving a small section just as it was after cleaning vs running the machine over the carpet in dry mode. It definitely decreases the dry time required by hours if you use the dry mode after cleaning. I let every section of carpet to dry overnight before putting furniture back on it and it was fully dry by morning (Cleaned in evening prior). The dirty water tank doesn’t need to be emptied after every clean water tank (although I did just to see what parts of the house were more dirty) but the average color was a milky shade. It was only a tiny bit brown in heavy traffic areas (hallways) but otherwise it was dirty but like something you would see from mud, dirt, or stains. I tried the wand on a small section of carpet and it seems like a handy tool for fabric furniture or vehicles. I don’t have any dirty, fabric furniture to test on but I believe it to be handy if you do. I was able to do all carpets in our home with less than one bottle of cleaner. 2 Capfuls ≈ 1 oz of Cleaner ≈ 150sq on MAX or 250sq on Auto. Each bottle is 16.9oz of cleaner. Pros: - Looks Nice - Easy to Maneuver - Controls are Simple (After Learning) - Removes LOTS of Hair (Even for “Clean” carpets) - Auto, Max, Dry Modes - Hand Attachment, Long Hose - 2 Bottles of Solutions Cons: - Annoying voice after each shutdown - Smaller Water Tank - Cord Adequate, Not Overly Long - Could Use Forward Lighting Final Thoughts: The Tineco Carpet One Complete Smart Upright Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner has shown me the value of these smaller, residential cleaners for spot or whole house cleaning. I cannot compare it to that of a commercial grade cleaner but I know it has made our home cleaner vs just using a vacuum. I would definitely recommend this carpet cleaner to those looking for a consumer grade cleaner.

    High Marks - Tineco Carpet One Cleaner

    Tineco Carpet One Complete The Tineco Carpet One Complete is a very nice machine to use. The ease of operation made the job of carpet and upholstery cleaning a absolute breeze. I got it connected to our home WiFi Network so that I could use the app though I could still change the settings manually with the buttons on the cleaner handle. I did not figure out the advantage of using the app but I will take the time to explore that issue on the Tineco website. I will note that the documentation that came with the cleaner could contain a little more detail. I did spend what seemed like extra time to figure out some of the operation of the device. On the carpet I used the auto setting and it dispenses the cleaning water without having to hold a lever down and picked it back up as I went. Then I changed the setting to dry and the sensor told me if it was too wet. The cleaner has two tanks - one for the clean water that mixes with the cleaning fluid (supplied with the cleaner) and the other tank receives the dirty water. Both tanks detach easily and were easy to clean up. I used the upholstery accessory hose to clean an antique chair. It was very easy to attach and use. The whole experience was one of ease and it definitely got the job done. Without a doubt the positives concerning this cleaner in my consideration would deserve a high recommendation for the Tineco Carpet One Complete.

    We hsve had this for a while now. It worked great at first but has broken/jammed twice and took a fair amount of work to clean it and get it going again. It’s a great machine but needs lots of attention to keep it working!

    I had never heard of this brand of carpet shampooer. It was a little pricey but the reviews were so good that I decided to try it. I am very happy that I did. This is by far the best carpet cleaner that I have seen. I've gone through several of them. I have 3 golden retrievers, so I need a good quality shampooer. I love the dry feature. It actually blow dries the carpet with heat. It is going to be a learning curve to figure out how to get the right balance of water and still get the carpet cleaned so that there isn't so much drying time needed. I love the wifi features but the voice is REALLY LOUD. I'm sure there is a way to adjust the volume on it. I just need to take a moment to figure it out.

    Does a great job of cleaning the carpet. A tip: vacuum the carpet first. Otherwise, hair and dust bunnies may clog up the suction nozzles. Also, it doesn't do a perfect job of drying, the carpet is still a bit damp at the end. I wouldn't wear socks on it until the next day.

    This thing is amazing. Way better than the one we had before. The heating drying function is a game changer, and it seems to clean more effectively as well. Didn't bother trying gps or the app etc as it's not needed. The handheld attachment works well, although the connection isn't the best and is difficult to attach properly. Other than that is great b

    I have never owned a carpet cleaner before, but with a dog who tracks in dirt and mud, I figured it was time to look into a carpet cleaner. After using it, I can say I will always own a carpet cleaner now. It's so easy and does a much better job than a typical vacuum. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver and makes my carpets and rugs look like brand new! My place has never been cleaner!
