I just used this product on my high traffic carpet, and I am pleased with the results. It's heavy, yes, but that's not a liability. I followed the directions exactly, and got good results. The carpet looks and smells MUCH better. I took out both tanks and drained and rinsed them as directed, parking the unit on the kitchen tile floor for cleanup. There was a small amount of water that leaked on the tile as it dried, I believe this is to be expected.Overall, this was a good value and I am glad to own it.
