I purchased this steamvac based on research on the internet and reading the reviews on Amazon. This was my first purchase of a carpet cleaner. Actually, I don’t think any one from my family has ever purchased a carpet cleaner.

I’ve always rented carpet cleaners. Like most people I got tired of the costly rental. The return trip to the store after a hard day of work cleaning carpet is not fun either.

My folks hired professionals to clean their carpet last year. They charged $150 for about 800 square feet of cleaning. They didn’t do a great job either. I figured this machine would pay for itself with one use.

I took the machine to my parents house and we took about 3.5 hours to clean the carpet and another hour to clean the floor tile. I was very careful to clean well since the carpet was so dirty. We pre-cleaned heavy traffic areas with Zep Heavy Traffic Carpet Cleaner (spot cleaner) using a hand brush. We also used the Zep Professional Carpet shampoo. Both can be purchased at Home Depot. The spot cleaner cost about $4 for a small can. The shampoo cost $13 for a large 128 oz bottle. You can easily clean a 3000 sq ft house with a single 128 oz shampoo.

The machine, spot cleaner, and HOT BOILING water did their job. The carpet was clean. The hallway between the bedrooms and both took the longest because of the heavy traffic. I used a lot of the spot cleaner and the result was excellent. There is no need to purchase more expensive chemicals.

We used Pinesoil to clean the tile. Use only half of the measuring cup that comes with the steamvac.

The plastic container that holds the cleaning solution and water contains a cap that doubles as a measuring cup for the shampoo. It contains two lines. I used the top (highest) line for carpet cleaning. I used the lower line for floor cleaning.

I also used the inluded attachment to clean my car’s interior. It did a great job. It’s a little messy but the results are good. I parked it in the hot s

This is awesome! I got it to replace an old 201. What a difference! Everything works super fast and I really like the training center and the ability to see my routes on Google Earth. Way cool, and totally worth the money!

I use my iPod Touch every day of my life; for music, managing my three email accounts, browsing the internet, checking the weather in the mornings, getting directions… the list goes on and on. This is the first mp3 player I’ve ever owned and I don’t know how I even functioned previously without one.

The name is a bit misleading, because there is no steam, just hot water. The vac was simple to assemble and it works well. No complaints. The hand-held tool is indispensable for doing stairs, upholstery and small areas where the machine would not fit. The carpets are WAY cleaner than they ever were before, you could really tell a difference. It seems to also reduce my cat allergy symptoms a little.

This could very well be the best book on spirituality a person could buy or give to a friend. Jack Kornfield is simply wonderful.
A Path With Heart

The Nintedo Wii is not a terrible product, but it is nothing special. The vast majority of the games are made for people under the age of 7. This is not bad if you are looking for a family console but it only does just that. When we got our wii several of the games we got with it didn’t work well, not that the games were broken but they were unresponsive even after we adjusted the receiver. It is very hard to play shooter games because of the way the controls are made, like in Call of Duty: World at War, you have to press down B and twist counter-clockwise to throw a fragment grenade. Because you are twisting it is impossible to aim and therefore nearly impossible to use (Whenever I try the grenade ends up blowing my squad to pieces). It is also harder to snipe than on other consoles. Half the time in the middle of an online match you will move to try and find your enemy and it will spazz out for 3-6 seconds, enough time to get shot. If you are going to play shooter games get something else (I play MOH on my gamecube more). Mario Cart however is good. it is great for parties and fun to play contact racing where you can push the person sitting next to you. Sometimes the controller wants you to go another way and no matter how you turn you will go straight into a wall. Wii play is also pretty fun, but I only play tanks, cow racing, target practice, and the fishing game. Im am actually saving to buy an xbox 360 because of better games and graphics. If Your looking for young person/entire family entertainment look no further, but if you want to play shooter games, get an xbox or ps3.
Living with Coronary Heart

A great book; sure to be a classic. For those that took issue that the characters; language; and other things weren’t southern, I take issue and suggest that YOU aren’t very southern. Every G’ma both black and white said LAW for LORD. I won’t reharsh the negative reviews but just say, read it; you’ll like it.
