Ordered steam vac Sunday and received it today with the one day shipping. Got it out of the box, put it together and used it on the area rug! Carpet is now clean and I’m so happy. Amazing how disgusting the dirty water was! I had the hoover widepath before and the container where you put the cleaner broke off. $50 for a new one so I held it in place when I used it. A few months ago I turned the brushes off to use attachment and when I went to turn brushes on again, they wouldn’t turn. I couldn’t figure out the problem and husband wouldn’t look at it so I put it in the trash after using the attachment one more time to clean spots on the rug. Less than two weeks later and somehow the dog and kids had the carpet looking awful again. After researching I found this to be the best one, especially for the price. The widepath was more expensive and probably did just as good at cleaning. Since there aren’t separate containers for clean water and soap in this new one, I don’t have to worry about that part breaking and hopefully this one will last me a long time. Only used once so far but am very happy!

I bought this vacuum, and I was so excited to use it from all of the good reviews it got on here. The first time I used it I was truly impressed with the amount of cat hair (I have a black, long haired cat) the vacuum picked up. The bag filled up quickly, but buying more bags is not too expensive so that is another plus. Personally, I prefer bagged vacuums over bag-less because bagged vacuums keep the dust and dirt in the bags more effectively rather than just dumping the container into a garbage can and having dirt and dust fly all over the house.
The only problem I have had with this vacuum is during the second time I tried to use it (I was moving out of my apartment) and it just stopped sucking anything up. I had to take it home to ask one of my family members to look at it, and he said the belt broke and needed to be replaced. This was only the second time I have used the vacuum, so I was quite a bit angry that it broke so easily.
Hopefully the belt won’t break for awhile. If that is the case, then I will truly be satisfied with this product. If the belt keeps breaking, I will unfortunately have to purchase a new vacuum. I say unfortunately because I really like the strong power this vacuum has to suck things up.
