Does this machine actually clean carpets or does it just "freshen" them?

I had a carpet stain that I pretreated and then used The Monster. I don't think it would have cleaned the stain had I not pretreated but it did lift the nap of the fabric back to it's original state. I don't think it's great as a carpet cleaner.

I have not tried this one on carpet yet, it may do a minor cleaning with the pad in the carpet glider, my old one (another brand) had the carpet glider and did somewhat freshen but did not clean as it had no pad to go in the glider. Hope this helps at least a bit. But love the steamer!

It performs better... picks up more the first few times. . Then about the same as before. . But the carpets look cleaner.

I would not say that it is completely gone but definitely freshens the carpet.

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.

This machine is a steamer. It does not extract. It has the ability to break down stubborn stains that a carpet cleaner can not.It can be used to sanitize a carpet. It kills dust mites, fleas, insect eggs. Hoover has a great carpet cleaner on this site.

The machine is awesome and so light. Yes it is designed for floors and another setting for carpet. I have all wood floors on our main floor. It gets a work out and you don't have to touch anything dirty!

No, it's not. It is a bit of a workout to clean your carpet but it's worth it.

Same with ours, but the cleaning solution is highly concentrated and soap/water mix in the soap reservoir does go down. It's enough soap to clean our carpets, but not leave a lot of extra soap/residue to attract dirt faster, so I like that. Other carpet cleaners dump soap on the carpet and then attracts dirt and have to clean more often. I clean lightly, then go over several times with soap off to ensure the least amount of soap residue.

Hi Emily, the solution is only for hard floor surfaces, not carpets. I love this steamer for the tiled floors in my home, but I did not think it was great on the carpets. If you are looking for a carpet cleaning machine you can find better options. Good luck!

both it will clean your carpeting also it will vacuum your carpeting and clean your floors .That's why they call it complete.

No, it does not. I have had mine for a while now and love them. If you love your clean carpet, they are a must have.

I'm not impressed by it on carpets at all, just spent an hour with it and stain/spot lifter on a 2 square foot area by my back door trying to get rid of the "heavy traffic" look. Despite carpets being professionally cleaned less than a year ago and living alone it barely made a dent in it. I may try a Haan if I purchase one of these ever again, they seem to do better all around.

No, it doesn't clean the carpet, but does come with a 'carpet attachment' which allows you to shoot steam over the surface of your carpet and freshen it. I've also added lavender essential oil to the reservoir along with the water, not sure if they recommend you do that, but it freshens the carpet with a nice added scent and helps to sanitize.

I vaccuum it first then I use this. It's a steam cleaner, so it cleans the fibers and makes the carpet look and smell better. For dusts and hairs, use a regular vaccuum.

I found that it really doesn't remove stains. I use it about once a month to keep the carpet looking and smelling fresh.

You can clean carpets with it yes, but I personally haven't done that yet. It works wonderfully on my kitchen floor I can tell you that. I also cleaned 2 old and extremely dirty recliners with it however. It did an amazing job on them. They look nearly brand new now.
