Our Editor Says: 'Construction felt solid, particularly at this price range. All-in-all, though, we feel that this is a solid pick for infrequent cleaning or smaller homes. Accessing the brushes for cleaning and maintenance was troublesome since a screwdriver is required to remove the cover.

We also appreciated the drying feature which helped speed up drying time.

Emptying dirty water was a no-mess affair thanks to the Easy Pour Spout.

We were able to clean an 8x10 rug with one full tank. The smaller tank size means more frequent emptying, but that's also what makes this machine lighter than other models. We liked that clean water and a cleaning solution could be mixed in the same tank. While the trigger function for releasing the cleaning solution isn't ideal, it did at least feel well-made. It's sturdy while still being lightweight and agile, perfect for a home with stairs or a carpeted apartment. But when I do use this machine on those areas, it does pull up dirt and dander because the dirty water tank is muddy and brown, so I know it's working.'įor quick cleaning in small spaces, this compact upright machine gets the job done. Our Editor Says: 'There are a few spots of general dinginess where my dogs sleep that have never been able to get completely clean. Now, a few downsides: there is no hook to keep the power cord out of the way, a minor detail, but still annoying the dirty tank has a very small opening, making it difficult to fully rinse out the upholstery nozzle isn't great – it's finicky and uncomfortable to use.

A nozzle and brush cover pop off with ease so you can remove built-up pet hair, a huge pro for our tester who said combing out fur and dirt is essential to keeping the machine running smoothly. In fact, our tester noted that it's easy to maneuver and reaches underneath furniture and beds with no problem. Weighing in at 18 pounds with two gallon-size tanks for clean and dirty water, this is the second-largest machine on our list, but it's not unmanageable. I'm very happy that was the case with this machine.'ĭesigned with pet owners in mind, our tester, a parent of two border collie mixes and two young adults, has relied on this machine for years to remove stubborn stains and general dinginess from her carpets and rugs. Our Editor Says: 'I really appreciate when machines are engineered so that simple and regular cleaning and maintenance can be done without tools. Overall, we were really impressed by the design and effectiveness of this machine, and believe it's a solid choice for most households. A removable nozzle gives easy access to brushes for de-gunking. (No trigger, here!) We were also won over by an additional dry-only feature that allows you to push and pull the machine without dispensing water or cleaner to help speed up drying time. We loved being able to add cleaning solution directly into the machine's pre-measured tank for automatic mixing and dispensing. Dual tanks, a half-gallon dirty water tank and a one-gallon clean water tank, were large enough for our tester to clean upholstery and an 8-by-10-foot rug without emptying or adding more water. While it's not the lightest of cleaners, it handles like a standard upright vacuum, although its size may not be ideal for those with limited storage space. For just $250, this relatively affordable upright cleaner checks all the boxes for us: ample tank size, powerful cleaning capability, simple assembly, automatic shampoo release and mixing, and easy to clean.
