We have had no problems with leaking. If your model does I would return it. We really like this product. I asked a friend after admiring her wood floors and this is what she recommended. Hope this helps.

Yes. My canister falls off frequently and I cannot keep the handle in place no matter how hard I try.

Sorry, I cannot be of help. The hot water tank stays where it belongs when I use it. Be sure as you put the tank in place that you allow the handle to be in its slightly raised position. As I recall, I once had trouble putting it in place but then realized that I was holding the handle down as I tried to push it back against the main vertical handle

I have had no problems with the clean water tank on the new HOover Max Extract but did have the leaky problems with our old HOOVER cleaner .

I haven't had this problem. Tank stays in place and no leaks. Are you putting the bottom in first, then rotating the top of the tank back and then lifting the round lift/handle located on the front/top of the tank? The seals for the tank and soap are the two small round O-rings. Check to see if they are damaged. But if your tank isn't staying in place I suspect that you're not locking in in place properly. If you are and it still leaks contact the seller and exchange for a new one, but be sure to have them walk you through any troubleshooting before you exchange - just in case you're not locking the tank in place properly.

I have noticed that I need to be a bit more careful assembling the unit every time, compared to my last Hoover shampooer. But to this point, it always goes together with a little patience. I have already shampooed my entire (4br/2 story) house and my Mothers 2000 sqft house, as well as my friends living areas. The Shampooer works great and the extraction is really good.

I have this issue with mine. The handle doesn't lift high enough to lock it into place, so not only does the tank tend to fall out easily, it constantly drips and leaks. It didn't start until after the return date, so I still have the carpet cleaner and I still love it, aside from this annoying issue. I could probably order a replacement tank for it and solve the issue once and for all.

I've not had any issues. If it's leaking underneath, there may be a crack. Also be sure to not over-fill the water tank. Additional information is in the user guide on page 14 (http://kitchen.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/melitta/mes2b.html?p=14 ) and addresses leaks. I hope this helps.

the one we got, has some problems too. all these tanks seem to have different issues. You might want to send it back if you can for a refund.

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

Mine was doing this. After 5 or 6 attempts to clean etc, I unplugged, removed the water tank, took it outside, tipped it upside down and gave it a good shake. Turned it up again and water started to dribble from the nozzle. Fitted it all back together, and it works again. Small blockage moved.

Did you remove the plastic bushing that used to sit between the water bottle and the cooler? I did and I had some leakage - when I returned the bushing (ring), the fit wasn't great, but the unit sealed such that I can have the lower portion of the filter unit 1/2 full and not have leaking. If that doesn't work, you can try a sheet of silicone or food grade rubber and cut a hole in it for the filter unit to sit. Alternatively, the filter unit comes with a check valve that is supposed to close off the filter from the crock when the crock is full - is that operating?

Hi George, I would first check the pressure in the holding tank to make sure it is correct. Have seen where water will come out fast but trickle off quickly and this is sometimes the problem.

I have never had an issue. I use a little water and no problem. You may have a defective one. I have had mine for almost a year and use it 3 times weekly.

I had low to none water pressure and talk with Purenex tech. He told me that it was the pressure tank as I thought. Told me during our discussion that Amazon would be cheaper way to go. Ordered new tank,arrived before due date ,installed and back to great water production and pressure! BC San Diego,Ca

Not one problem. Your tank was not installed properly and you should discontinue use until the tank is properly secured!

I have the same issue and don't have a solution yet (other than cleaning up the leaked water each day). Does anyone have a solution?

The design of the water tank is poor! The front of the tank is much lower then the back and if you are not careful filling to the fill level indicator, it is easy to overflow in the front of the tank.So far, this is the only leakage problem I have had to date. JEG

Yeah, mine has never been right since day one. For some reason it doesn't fit right on the top right (by the cab) and always lets water in. I was very disappointed but have just lived with it.

Yep, mine started leaking and falling off and now won't stay on, almost as is the two little white pieces that pinch the faucet hose to stay on are broken. After only 1 month or two it's broken and now I have extra filters i won't use.

have you had better luck with your filter? Just received mine, have hooked it up but can't get suction. Have primed it, filled the tank first, as mentioned in another post. Have not shortened the length of the tubing as yet. Any advice?

I have never had a problem with the unit leaking. Just make sure the tanks are seated properly before you begin.

I am glad to see someone else has this problem! I have had mine replaced 4 times! Did you ever get yours working? I had an old model for 10 years that never leaked, so I know what I'm doing. Frustrating.
