Reviewer: mpg57,
I used this machine on my area rugs and it worked fine. Recently I moved into a house with carpet and it just doesn't make the grade. Lots of outdoor traffic and dirt coming inside the house it just isn't strong enough to clean the carpet.
Great Little Cleaner for the Price!!!

Reviewer: The Stolen Replaced,
I had this Quick Steamer for about 3 years. Not once did I have a problem with it. It did a great job cleaning my 1,000 sq. ft. apartment at least once a month. Now, I am looking to replace it (preferably with the same exact model-and lucky me, cannot seem to find one anywhere) because I was so naive to trade my little reliable quick steamer for a cheap dinette set when I was moving.... This Quick Steamer does not soak your carpet (the only way to do that is if the user does not let loose on the spray button). Overall, it did a great job helping me clean up after a husband, a four year old, and a kitten making messes on an off white colored carpet! :) Oh, and by the way, it's not a STEAM cleaner, the tap water you put into it, is what is used to clean the carpet - happy cleaning!
Awesome little machine!

Um, people who complain that this did not get their carpet clean, I really have to wonder how dirty they let their carpets get! I have two dogs, two cats, and three kids. The last time I had my oriental cleaned it cost $300. This little machine did an awesome job at just under $70! And I'll get many more carpet cleanings for my $70. The carpet was dry in under three hours (how wet you let the carpet get is up to you). I thought it would take longer to dry, but it dried so quickly! I used the pet odor cleaner...did a great job getting out a few accidents my younger dog had. Highly recommend this lightweight gem. My only complaint is they should NOT say it is a steam cleaner because it is not. It is a hot water cleaner (that works just fine)....
Not Too Bad For The Money

Reviewer: G. Keast,
Bought this to clean some area rugs and two carpeted rooms in a small apartment. To call it a "QuickSteamer" is a little misleading because it doesn't produce steam at all; it simply uses hot tap water. However, for the price, under $80, I've found it to be an efficient, affordable way to keep our carpets clean. If you thoroughly vacuum before using and pre-treat any stained areas, it should do a decent job for you. Because of its small size, it is not for commercial use or homes with large carpeted areas.
Cleaning carpet is not rocket science and all you really need is something that vacuums up hot water from the carpet. This unit does that. You'll see the proof when you dump the dirty water for the first time. Again, for less than $80, you can't really go wrong with this unless you've got a large job or super filthy carpets.
Front sucker constantly getting clogged.

Reviewer: TreeHugger,
OK, I'm not sure why previous review love this thing, unless they were cleaning clean carpets. My issue was in order to get a strong vacuum, the front sucker is very narrow. This unit tends to create wads of wet dust bunnies, which when they go through the narrow vent, get clogged. You have to use a knife to clean out the narrow vent in order for it to get it's vacuum back. And yes, I did vacuum before. But, maybe the pre vacuuming is the problem. The carpet I was cleaning was also semi thick.
