Do Not Buy This!
I don't write a whole lot of reviews but I feel the need to warn people about a manufacturing defect in this machine. The bottom of the clean water tank is extremely thin plastic and there's a good chance it will crack over time just with regular use. We've had our machine a little over three years and have probably used it twice a year. Yesterday I filled the tank and it started leaking all over. Turns out the plastic around the valves had cracked. Amazon won't allow links in reviews but if you search for replacement clean water tank and this model you will find hundreds of similar complaints. Some people report being on their 3rd tank. They are $50 a pop to replace! Save yourself the aggrevation and steer clear of Hoover carpet cleaners.
