Kenmore KW4070 Pet Portable Carpet Cleaner with High Cleaning Power, 3.2L Clean Tank & 1.4L Dirty Tank, 25ft Cord Length and Two Easy Removable Brushroll for Rug & Upholstery

Excellent Excellent Excellent! KENMORE IS THE BEST! I highly recommend this machine! Nice clean carpets! I highly recommend KENMORE MACHINES!!!!

I received this late Friday and used it for the first time on Sunday. It would not be possible for me to be happier! Previously I have rented machines and once employed a professional service to clean the carpet. This Kenmore machine did a better job of cleaning the carpet than either the rental or the professional! There were light stains in the carpet (not too noticeable but to me) which I thought would never come out. They're gone! No longer visible at all! I had vacuumed extremely well before using it but was shocked at just how much dirt this machine pulled from deep in the carpet. It was kind of disgusting, actually. I thought I was cleaner than that. The machine is lightweight and easy to handle. Read the instructions. It does not require a lot of cleaning solution. Much less than a rental does. It extracted nearly all the fluid from the carpet. I cleaned the carpet Sunday evening. Today is Monday morning and the carpet is dry in spite of high humidity. It may be a high investment for many people but if you have carpets it is worth it for the money you will save on rentals or outside services over time. No trips to lug heavy machines or allow strangers in your home. No time limits or being subject to waiting for someone who shows up late. You can clean small spots any time you like. For cleaning solution I used Zep general purpose carpet cleaning concentrate. I got a gallon and used a bit more than the 5 oz per gallon dilution. This gallon will last a LONG time for me.

I am very pleased with this small yet mighty machine’s design and performance. Since both the tanks are located at the same level, the weight of the machine didn’t strain my arms. It cleaned better than my previous hoover brand machine. It is also super easy to put together and pull apart for cleaning afterwards. I only wish that the dirty water tank had more capacity, it has to be emptied once the level reaches about 1/4th of the tank’s level.

I'd give this machine 10 stars if it were possible!! Of the 3 different carpet washers, this one is the best! I owned a Dirt Devil carpet cleaner. It did a better than the water system attachments for my Rainbow Cleaner. The suction was better, but it required additional upper body effort to extract the solution. The wet system for my Rainbow was very narrow and didn't have wheels on it and required even more upper body effort. My shoulder would hurt for days after I was done. The Kenmore KW4070 is amazing. I counted out the 9 capfuls of cleaning solution into a measuring cup. It comes up to 1/3 Cup. That saves you time when you go filling the clean solution container. The machine is so easy to set up and disassemble for clean-up. I love that the lid that covers the rollers comes out completely, so you can clean it well. My Dirt Devil and Rainbow wash system didn't do that. It always looked gross. I still use my Rainbow cleaner for vacuuming. I love the water canister that never loses suction. I also get great satisfaction on seeing what it really does through the see-through cannister. I vacuumed all the carpet really well with the Rainbow before washing. That water alone was horrendous!!! I worked on the perimeter carpet next to the molding using the 6" attachment. It worked a charm! After doing the perimeters, then I washed the carpet. I was in disbelief how filthy the carpet was. Whenever I've washed carpet my whole life, I've always gone back over it with a clear-water rinse. So, each of the rooms were done twice. I don't want soap dried in carpet. I believe the residue draws more dust and dirt in the future. The 'rinse water' was a lighter dirt color with additional foam. The extractor is so efficient that the carpet was dry in about 3.5 hours...max! I still have 2 rooms, 5 dining room chairs, 2 recliners, the basement, and the basement stairs to do. This machine has more than paid for itself already. If you tally the entire job, it would have cost me well over $700. The professionals charge around $15.00 per stair...alone. There is one concession. I wish the dirty water tank held more fluid. I look forward to my first vaccuming with the Rainbow to see the complete analysis. The carpet you see is 28 years old! It may not look great, but it is in very good condition. This is the best it's going to get. No shoes allowed rule over the entire time. It's my mom's condo. I can't replace it yet. UPDATE 1/21/2025: i finished all the jobs previously mentioned except for the stairs and basement. The machine has already paid for itself. I Googled the going rate for professional carpet cleaners. It would cost me over $700 just for the upstairs cleaning. They charge per square foot. The pictures I posted are the ivory carpet throughout the condo. This carpet was put down in 1996 when my dad had the place built. The 2nd picture of the variegated taupes is the breakfast nook. I took the picture so you could see a before/after comparison. That carpet is 3 years old. As you can see the difference in the portion at the bottom after cleaning, with the top still needing to be done. The machine restored the carpet to what it looked like when it was placed November 2021.

Have had this for a few months and love it! It cleaned my hubby's old carpet very well!
