I was optimistic, and I wasn’t let down! My only complaint was that the story was too short, I couldn’t wait to see what Artemis would be up to next. I would not compare this to Harry Potter. This story stands on its own, with plenty of installments to keep you reading and waiting on the next adventure. Always full of surpises, written very well.

I bought this for $145 and have been happy with it. I think this will only clean as good as your choice in liquid detergent and how hot the water you use. I think carpet cleaner is a personal choice, so if you have a favorite that you know won’t damage your carpet/upholstery, stick with it. I choose on both effectiveness and smell. As far as the water temperature, I have found that if I boil a 12-cup pot of water from my coffee maker and hot tap water to use in the tank to the fill line, I get far superior results. I’ll clean the carpets every six months, but I can still pull very dirty water and can clearly see the difference when I use very hot water.

Unless it’s a small room, one tank full will not be enough to do a big living room. After using the 12 cups from the coffee pot, either refill for another 12 cups or put a large pot on the stove to boil while you vacuum. Again, I sincerely believe this is part of the reason the professional cleaners the apartment management uses works so effectively (not just the suction) because of water temperature.

I will use the entire tank of water on a small area and let the brushes deep clean in the circular motion. Then I let it take the dirty water up in the reserve. Then I use it as a dry vac to do many more passes over the area to speed up the drying process. That way, I don’t have to leave my windows open too long to dry out the carpet. When the entire area is dry, I immediately follow up with a standard hepa filter vacuum to further ‘fluff’ the carpet. Looks and almost smells like new!

I have not yet tried on upholstery. especially with the wand, so I cannot comment on its effectiveness. One downside is the NOISE can be deafening, so I will actually use earplugs to preserve my hearing from the high pitch.

For the price, you will not be disappointed.
