JACKIE, NORTHAMPTON , “Occasional user” More like this »

+ easy to use, cleans well and brought the pile of carpets up lovely.Good all round value for money. would recommend this cleaner.

- could do with a few more brushes underneath howver I appreciate this would put the price up.Hoped ir would leave the carpets a little more drier. I did try to take time sucking up water but still felt the carpets were a little too wet.
