+ 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.

Product Features

Weight (kg)	7.3

Pet Hair Brush	No
Loosens hair from carpet fibres, however, standard nozzles can be just as effective if you buy a vacuum cleaner with powerful suction. Check the reviews to see what owners say about the suction on their vacuums.
