Good quality Works well

This is a German favorite taken over by Mexicans (the Germans have full confidence in the Mexicans viz VWs) to keep prices down I’ve had both products. They work forever and work well on rugs

Have been trying to find a good hard floor and carpet cleaner combo and have thus far been unsuccessful. I have ordered, tried and returned all of the reasonably priced consumer models--each for different reasons. The Koblenz is a solid machine, very easy to assemble, and the scrubbing brushes and carpet brushes are good. I tried this on both my carpet and kitchen floor. I started with the carpet, using the scrubbers and solution they provide specific to the carpet. I filled the solution holder full and started cleaning, pulling the trigger to release the liquid as I thought it was needed. After about 10 minutes of moving the carpet cleaner around the carpet, I looked down and the entire canister of solution was empty. I have an oriental carpet I was cleaning so I didn't notice how wet was it was getting but the spray and release mechanism didn't work and basically dumped all the liquid, saturating my carpet. I blotted a lot of it up. The carpet did dry and did look a lot cleaner so it worked, just not how I expected. I tried to fix the mechanism and changed scrubbers and cleaners to hard floor cleaning to try the machine on my kitchen floor but again, within 10 minutes of scrubbing my tile floor, the entire canister of cleaning fluid had dumped on my kitchen floor. The upside is that the scrub brushes, ease of assembly and use, and the light "floating" action of the machine when on are all great. The kitchen tiles and carpet were cleaner. The downside, aside from the machine arriving broken, is that there is no way to suck up the water from the tile floor after scrubbing so then one has to mop afterward. Too much work! I would love a machine like this one that also sucks up the dirty water into a separate canister. I tried the models that claim to do this, but they suck as you clean which doesn't allow enough water to get onto the floor to actually clean it. A machine should scrub first then have a mechanism to switch on to pull up the water.

Didn't think they made these anymore. This works great on my deck. Doesn't tear it up like a power washer. Cleaned it really well! So happy I found this! I would have given it 5 stars but the top doesn't fit snuggly and it tips over easily. It's worth the small annoyances. :)

This thing works great on hardwood floors and on carpet. I am amazed!! It just crushes the home improvement store carpet cleaners. After cleaning carpets, they look like new. My issue is I got a few carpet areas to wet. Took a while to dry. But.......... it’s a learning experience. Have used it several times on my hardwood floors for polishing. It worked wonderful. Still needed to apply the polisher by hand but this machine made quick work out of the buffing side of things. Wish I would have bought this 30 years and 2 houses ago.

Just received this and was impressed. Wasn't flimsy and had enough weight to get the job done without bearing down. Then the dissapoints started. Like the other reviews the tank started leaking and making a mess to mop up. BUt it did clean built up dirt well. THen the motor started dragging like it was straining. No pressure was put on it ant after a short time. Then it started making a rattling sound after being turned off and slowing down. Something was loose inside. So don't waste time with this until the manufacturer corrects these problems and you start seeing better reviews. And for some reason Amazon would not allow a return because the item is flammable. Go figure that one out. But they did issue a refund .

The travertine floor is in the kitchen (bad idea - I know) but it's very pretty when it's clean. The tile has a natural textured surface so I wasn't too worried about scratches. Just wanted it clean. The hard brushes did great to lift the dirt from the natural grooves and grout. Also used a Bissell floor cleaner to vacuum the dirty water and rinse the floor which worked much better than a mop. For tough areas, I let the solution sit for a while to soften the dirt and grime. The scrubber did all the work - no hand scrubbing the grout! I think the process probably stripped most of the sealer from the floor but its clean enough to seal again. The only negative - the tank leaked when I set it aside to the let water soften the dirt, but I'm willing to put up with a few leaks to avoid hand scrubbing the kitchen floor.

I have owned one of these for years! Mine was at my daughters (we share it) when my daughter in law found an area of mold in her camper. As it would arrive before we could retrieve mine. I got her one.. She had never seen one nor used one. Found that it a knees, elbow, hand saver. She could not believe how clean everything came. Use it on all kinds of flooring. Grooves clean carpets clean... If you can or do use a brush on it. Grab this cleaner!

This small unit works well on heavy duty cleans. I’d say it punches above its weight.

Tener en cuenta la compra de los consumibles (almohadillas) para diversas tareas

El producto venía suelto su caja koblens y no enviaron los 3 envases con el shampoo. En general, la caja aplastada. Por suerte la máquina funciona.
