Get the sucker day ago. After a successful and easy assembly by my wife, who is not otherwise the technophiles, the first start-up. We fully agree with the reviews in most respects. The suction power is enormous, but so far as can be withdraw, that the adhesive on the carpet extractor can be taken up again by the uncarpeted slider on the handle. Since we purchased the cleaner to clean the tiled floor, the suction power is irrelevant to carpet for us. The expectations for performance on tiled surfaces (hard floor) was more than exceeded. In addition, the low weight and reduced volume. Conclusion: A great device for hard floors
