Works great on carpet stains! I tried it on some other surfaces and it did ok, but I was not super impressed, but on carpet it works well! Pictures atta ched were taken 30 seconds apart!I should of bought the professional one because I will have to eventually, when this one dies because I use it all the time now.I only use water in the Tornador but i spray cleaner on before I use it sometimes.Best clean of the kitchen stainless stove top ever.Bicycles, scooters, anything outside related this cleans easily. Most of the time just water.I rented a Rug-Doctor rug cleaner last week and it was so filthy that I had to use my Tornador to clean it first. It came out spotless when I was done.I just used it to clean the window screens for the house, instead of just using a hose like i would of in the past.When I was done with the cars the first time, it was like they were new clean again on the inside without that armour-all smell.I have a little compressor, wish I had a bigger one. I got this one:BOSTITCH Air Compressor Kit, Oil-Free, 6 Gallon, 150 PSI (BTFP02012-WPK)Consider it a minimum barely usable.Great addition to my cleaning tools.works well just make sure you have enough CFM. I didn't and performance suffered.I was skeptical of this, after using a Bissell spot extractor with no results. But it really cleaned my car seats extremely well. I’d say as good as a $500+ extractor. The stains on my seats were years old, and some basic stain remover and this tool brought them back to new. I’ll definitely be trying it out on other items. I can’t comment on durability yet, but the construction seems solid and the parts feel good quality. It’s rather pricey, but comparing it to other products of the same price range, it’s excellent. Like I said, the $150 Bissell spot extractor did absolutely nothing for my seats.It already quit workingVery pleased with the results. Did not vacuum prior to using the Tornador cleaning gun, because I wanted to see if there will be any difference and it did not disappoint me. I highly recommend it. Air supply an 80 gallon air compressor.Idk how the hell i ever detailed even 1 day of my career without this god sent tool.Not for everyone and not for every job. But it does have its place. And for what it does it does it pretty well
