This Hoover steam-vac appears to clean the carpets well. However as others have stated I too experienced some water leakage. My solution was to simply back off on the amount of water I used to fill the container. That seem to elimate the problem for me.The results upon completion seemed almost as good as what I got from the hired yellow truck people, and for the same price I get to keep and use this machine again.I would be remiss however if I did not mention that when the machine is filled with clean water, carpet solution and dirty water, it is heavy and a bit hard to move about.
