Customers Say
A number of customers comment on how portable the device is; they like that it can easily get into tight spots like pets, stairs, upholstered furniture, etc. or in their cars. They also find it easy to pull out at the moment you need to clean a spill or stain.
Many users comment on how good the suction is with the hand-held attachment, and how effective it is for quick cleanups of small areas where a large carpet cleaning machine won't fit.
