does this carpet cleaner hold up over the years?

I've had mine for four years - no problems. I had a bigger Hoover previously that lasted several years as well.

Well, I have had it for a little over a year and I only use it about once every two months, but I have had no problems with it. I had a much cheaper Hoover shampooer before this one and it lasted about 10 years!

I have had mine for over 1 year. I have 2 Germany shepherd house dogs and live on a farm.... most of the winter the cleaner is used at least twice a week. Recently both dogs got sick, I was using it several times a day. My only regret is this does not have rotating brushes. It is holding up well and has not developed any leeks.

I've had mine for a year, and it's holding-up well on a thick carpet. I've had several mats over the years and they all eventually split, but this one looks like it's going to last longer than most.

It has preformed well for the year and a half that I have had it and has shown no signs of breaking down. Keep in mind that this unit is meant for home use and not high volume shredding. I have had no problems with it at all.

I've had this one for over 2 years and it's still working fine.A bit stained but that's it.

I have three pets so vacuum thoroughly before cleaning the carpet. I have not had any problem with the Hoover. it cleans up easily.

I use this in my hall which is berber carpeting. Haven't noticed any problems with the carpet so far and I use it almost every day.

We've had it for over a year, and have found that a sponge and soapy water have cleaned any stains pretty well. If we ran into a worse problem, I'd likely try carpet/upholstery cleaner, but no need yet.

My Eureka is over 4 years old and still going strong; I have changed the filter one time. I take very good care of my little vac. I clean the filter each time I use it and I make sure the brushes are free of lint, etc. If you take good care of your vac it should last many years, at least 5 years, and possibly more. The only reason I ordered a new vac was to have one on hand just in case Eureka stops making this vac. I really like it.

It is not actually a vacuum cleaner. However if the carpet is only lightly covered in dirt and more in need of a rug cleaning then the carpet cleaner can be used to do both jobs at once. It sort of depends on your thought as to how to best go about cleaning your carpets. Experience seems to be the best teacher. After using my Carpet cleaner for several months now I seldom vacuum unless I see no reason to clean the carpets. As times goes by the more times that I use the carpet cleaner over the same carpet over time the carpet gradually becomes even cleaner.

I have had this vacuum for almost 3 years and the suction is great. I have tile, hardwood laminate, bamboo, carpeting and some accent rugs. It does a great job on all of them.

I bought mine probably 6 or 7 years ago. I use it daily. It has fallen in the toilet twice, and been dragged by the cord through the house, being banged against the walls, by a freaked out cat. It still works great!

We have had ours for ove a year, and it sits on carpeting. It has never been un sturdy, & looks as good today as it did when we first bought it.

I've only had mine for about a year and a half. In that time I've used it probably about 10 times. Other than being a little dirty here and there I can't see any signs of wear and tear on this thing. It's been great!

A little. I have been using an alcohol based cleaner instead of the Bissell brand (see my previous question response on this subject). It is a little damp but I don't know of any water based carpet cleaner that would not leave some dampness.

I have had mine for about 3-4 months now and it will vacuum the rugs that we have but its not the best. Clean enough for display though. If its a big mess use a regular vacuum. We vacuum our rugs with a regular every weekend just to get the fine particles that have fallen in the rug.

I have it on carpet and it has not left marks, and it moves smoothly. I've been very happy with it. I would have to vote "yes".
