I have only tested its performance on carpeted main reason for my purchase. This is a carpet rather long hair, I admit, but nowhere in the ad or the user manual is there any mention of any limitation. In addition, for this price, you would expect some effectiveness, especially using the detergent brand and by carefully following the directions: two necessary suction carpet, water temperature, brush movements. ..non only the result was almost zero, but also the famous brush "SpinScrub" stopped working after a few minutes, and using the to restart since. It is perhaps less "high-tech", but nothing beats a shampooing brush, which also returns infinitely cheaper. In short, as useless as an expensive gadget, knowing his "attraction" is the main cleaning of carpets-the rest, everyone can do it with a vacuum cleaner and a mop.
