Groenendyk which machine does one purchase? light weight? heavy duty? added heaters? which brand is best? all valid ?'s- so i researched reviews on amazon before i purchased a carpet cleaner. i own a kirby vacuum system- i love it....but the machine is heavy, and the carpet cleaner a bit more involved in putting together than an upright machine. having already spent $$ on a kirby (a g4 i purchased 13 years ago) i did not want to spend a bunch of money on a carpet cleaner- i just wanted something to "pull out and lightly clean" carpets a few times a year. this is the machine i decided on. it seems to have worked well- it is easy to manuever, easy to assemble, easy to fill clean water tank, easy to empty the dirty water tank and replace the tanks again- easy to clean up!~ how great is that? having no other upright "steam" machine to compare it to, it seems to have cleaned adequately. i took my time and allowed the suction to pick up as much water as possible. it dried within 2 hours. now, i must say, having used a kirby on this carpet, and not allowing shoes in the house, this 9 year old carpet had VERY LITTLE sand in the dirty water tank, and only gray water, compared to the walkway carpet that i also cleaned. the high traffic area had 8 times as much sand, and the water was much darker. so, the machine picks up alot. i am pleased with the overall performance of this machine. did not find any leaks- got it at a great price at [...] for 79$- very happy with this purchase. 24 of 24 people found the following review helpful. Acceptable for quick surface cleaning before guests arive...not deep cleaning By CAB To be honest, I only picked this shampooer because of the price. I have a Bissel Little Green Machine, but I needed something that would cover larger areas. I have borrowed a larger, heavier, and much more expensive one from friends, which I loved, but couldn't shell out $300. At just under $100, this lightweight little thing does cover larger areas. It does remove the little spots you get all over from drippy sippy cups and sloshy coffee mugs. It does NOT do a deep down heavy cleaning job of the carpet. With 2 small children, a cat and a puppy, I am fully aware of how gross my carpets can get. The dirty water on this machine comes out much lighter than that with a nicer/heavier duty machine, which tells me it's not pulling up as much dirt. Cleaning with this one does go faster, because it sprays less liquid, therefor you're not constantly refilling/emptying the tanks. Because it uses less liquid, it dries very quickly--within 2 hours, or an hour if you open all the windows. So basically, the SteamVac is like a larger version of the Little Green Machine. If you're looking for something less expensive that is light weight and can quickly clean the surface of your carpet so it looks good for a little bit in between professional cleanings, this is for you. If you require a heavy duty cleaner, this is not your machine. 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Easy to Use By D. Stoddard Bought to replace a worn out hoover spin scrub.extremely easy to use, easy to push, can be cleaned easily with one hand. No harder to use than a vacuum cleaner. Now I'm steam cleaning more and vacuuming less. Gets out traffic patterns well. About 10 lbs lighter than the spin scrub and has adequate clean water/dirty water storage in separate tanks (1 gal each). If the room is not excessively dirty it's 1 tank of cleaner and emptying the dirty water storage twice.And yes, I'm restricted to one hand because of a stroke to my right side!
