Excellent cleaning!
1 of 1 found this helpful This machine runs circles around the two other brands I had over the years. The suction is fantastic, the motorized brushes effective at quickly removing soil. Okay, now for the downside: it weighs a lot, if you are a smallish female or someone with physical limitations. I have a 2-story townhouse and two small dogs. Enough said? So, after buying the first unit and really liking it a lot, I caved in and bought a second one to keep upstairs so I don't have to carry a machine up and down. I know there is probably no way to lighten the weight without compromising its sturdiness.
To the Rug Doctor folks I would add: I prefer to drag my machine by the extended handle, rather than push it. But the cord being on the back is problematic. When it comes free of the c-clamp that is part of the plug, you find you are running over the cord. Now obviously all one would have to do is keep it clamped. But the length of the cord needs to be lengthened or shortened by about 3", so it would clamp about mid-way along the wound cord. My first machine, when wound onto the cord holder, ends up with the clamp/plug right at the bottom. Then, when you tip the unit back to roll it, the plug comes free of the clamp and you run over the cord. Second point: the water reservoirs need a bit more in the way of a handle to grab when removing them to fill or empty. My fingers slip, esp. when wet. Thanks for a really good machine--it's a lifesaver (and carpet saver) when you have pets!

top quality unit
1 of 1 found this helpful This was the second type of assemble-yourself shelving for my basement. I thought the first ones were good and solid, but these are exceptional. As a petite 65-year-old woman, I had to carry each shelf from the front door to the basement one at a time. They are very -um- SOLID! There is no way they will ever bow under weight or warp over time. It would have been helpful to have another person to help put them together, but it was definitely do-able for a do-it-yourselfer. The directions are pretty clear but I had a bit of trouble figuring out the assembly at the point where the lower set of uprights meet the upper. Still, if I have occasion to order any more shelving units in the future, I hope these are still available, because I wouldn't hesitate to order them again.
