Do you have to go super slow when using the machine? Or does it clean in a timely manner?

Just depends on how much crud is on the floor. I would take your time the first time using it. And then if your using it every day it should go faster. If I have something sticky it takes a couple time over that spot. Otherwise it goes pretty quickly. The most frustrating thing is the short cord. Always unplugging and plugging back in. Other than that I love the machine.

If you are using the steam mode, it is easy to maneuver. My husband takes it out of my hands and cleans the floors for me. He loves it!

It gets about 80 to 90 percent of it for me. You have to remember to switch it from quick clean to full clean. I am very happy with my purchase. If i am really bugged ill do a second quick clean.

Mine is not slow, lots of other issues though am researching other laptops to replace this new one. Scan for viruses often and delete your cookies and history. Good Luck!

This little gadget picks up dust and crumbs very well. It does need to be cleaned frequently as the brushes do attract and twist threads which causes it to strain and go slower. the magnet on the inside also is powerful and holds on to pins, paper clips etc and can cause dirt to build up there as well. Key to keeping this machine working is to clean it out regularly.

We just changed ours after 4-5 years and it was dirty. The machine did seem to work well all that time, so it's not like it lost air flow from being overly dirty. Make sure to vacuum the outside periodically (it will get dusty) so that air can flow in.

I have not had that problem. As someone who has owned a few machines I would advise to have a professional look at it. These machines, even if not used often, require cleaning and oiling regularly. That may be your problem. Good luck to you.

This is a hard question to answer. The whole process for me takes 5-10 minutes. But that includes everything cleaned & put away when I'm done. If I just set things in the dishwasher I could probably save a little time in the morning. The machine has it's quarks but I like it.

I have not experienced that problem. The sweeper has been performing above expectations. The suction is amazing, it doesn't miss much.

yes- it takes about an hour-let it finish, cool down and wipe with a damp sponge or rag. then you're good to go and you don't have to bother with it again. it is no big deal and it makes such a nice loaf of bread. all-in-all a great machine!

Hello there, I haven't had any problem with it so I really don't know. Please consider that this model is an old model and very slow, I bought it 2 months ago and I will replace it because of this. Cheers!

We clean out the leftovers (old maids, etc) with each batch but only do a thorough cleaning every 3-4 times we use it. Its kind of a pain to clean but we feel it's worth it.

I have had this cleaner for about a week. I have vacuumed and vacuumed prior to use and yes, I still get tons of pulled up hair into the machine. I have taken the covers off the base machine by removing the 5 screws and had to rinse and use a shop-vac to pull out any extra hair, put back together and then start using again. However, even with this hassle, the machine, both the upright and the detachable unit, have cleaned VERY well. I also have let the base unit dry well underneath and then shop vacuumed out any remaining hair. That helped with better functioning. I guess it may be the price we animal lovers pay for all the tiny hairs that a vacuum can't pull up but the shampooer does! Over all, the units have cleaned better than other brands we have had previously. Hope any of this response helps you!

yeah it's pretty easy to clean, very actually. Just about any cleaner will do. I always just used a bit of diluted dish soap and water, or for lighter spills just a wet towel works.

oh, it is very high speed. you just need to push it down for a short time, like five or ten seconds until the job is complete. efficient, easy to clean. use it almost daily. love it!

I have a Dyson and will admit that it cleans well. It is noisy and I had to send it back for problems with extreme noise, it took two weeks before it came back. A year later the same problem came back. I am looking to buy the Hoover.

I'll admit, after working with one of these for nine years, it's not the easiest to clean. That said, we use it multiple times a week and are heavy users at our college. We do give it a wipe down each time we use it and then do a deep clean every month or so. No popcorn machine is super easy to clean, I'm on my third one of this model, so we keep coming back to it.

I don't know if it's "okay", but mine does the same thing. I am thinking that maybe if I clean it (the whole unit) with laundry soap, scrub brush, & maybe soak some of the parts that might make things run a little smoother. Just a thought.
