It’s excellent for cleaning hard floors, with a shape that gets right into corners and two rotating pads to lift stains. A full charge proved enough to do all my hard floors twice over, and the result was super shiny. Clean your carpet before you use a carpet cleaner. Use fans, fire up the heating, or do your carpet cleaning in the spring and summer months when you can leave windows open. Of all the ways you can damage your hearing, a carpet cleaner is perhaps the least fun, so protect your ears.
