We bought the Hoover SteamVac Agility Carpet Cleaner today and immediately started in on our dirty living room carpet. The Hoover did a wonderful job of removing the dirt, vacuumed up the extra water so well that the carpet actually was dry in under an hour, and was a breeze to clean up. I have tried other steam cleaners and this is really the best one I have ever use. I highly recommend this product.
