Kenmore KW4070 RevitaLite 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

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.

I was skeptical about it because of the small diameter hose and I always liked the big green machine. It works as good as the rental! I used this machine on all different carpet types and it worked perfect. It’s also quieter than the rental. It’s the same as using an upright vacuum. It extracted almost all the water I added. The carpet in the picture is over 50 years old; was a bit dull and had no stains. The shampooer cleaned it beautifully. My fill was between the small and large line. It’s user friendly, lightweight, and easy to store. I have been cleaning for over 50 years; had my own cleaning business and have shampooed a lot of carpets over the years. This unit works perfectly for residential use. It’s not a rugged unit, but it’s well made. If you treat it carefully and clean it after each use, I’m sure it will last. I have no complaints at this time.

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've gotten some good use out of this, and overall I think it cleans well and has nice options given the size and price. You do sort of need to get the hang out using it to get the best clean, and to get a thorough clean you won't get more than maybe an 8x8 sized space done, so I would go with something larger if you plan to use this often or want to do large areas each time you use it. But, for smaller areas or the occasional larger area with a few fill ups, this works great. The attachment is pretty good as well and nice to be able to do both larger quicker upright cleaning and spot cleaning with the attachment. Only reason for 4 stars is it's not the greatest clean, but I don't know if you'd get much better without spending a lot more.

I am really happy with this. I have just used it for the first time yesterday. I had very, very, dirty carpet that was way overdue for a cleaning. I live in a rental and am too embarrased to say how long its been lol. I dont have the space to clear out my things for professionals to come clean and this cleaner is about 60% the cost of a visit from a buissiness. My intention was to remove dirt and contaminates from down deep after the years of living on this carpet. I had no expectaion for how good it would look i just wanted it "cleaned". To my surprise the carpets look SO much better just shy of amazing, it is 19 year old carpet and there is only so much help it can recieve. I ran it three times, washing then almost drying each time. All but the 2 most severe spots were removed and the severe spots were reduced in appeance by about 80%. I dont belive a carpet that is manitained normally would require 3 full passes. This thing removed so much dirt and dander from down deep in the carpet. It is undeniable when you empty the dirty water tank. The suction is very powerful and direcected right where it needs to be to pull up the water quickly after saturation. The tanks are easy to remove and fill. I have rented the grocery store rug doctors many times, this Kenmoore provided much better results to my surprise. the water tank is a bit smaller so you have to stop and refill but that is so easy to do it wasnt much of a problem for me. the brush spins pretty fast and its is it good contact with the carpet so i guess thats why the stains got removed. I should add that they made the brush head cove SO EASY to remove and clean and that may bey one of my favorite features? Dont have any comment on durability beacasue its brand new, but like i said it was just about half the cost of a visit from a professional.

THIS THING IS AMAZING! I have owned Bissell and Hoover shampooers, right down to the smart automatic one (you push and pull without the button process) and it didn't even last a year and was triple the price of this little shampooer. I was tired of the same machines not lasting, which brought me to amazon and purchasing this shampooer. This little thing cleaned the floor better than any other shampooer I have had, my house is older 85' and it still has some of its orginal shag carpet (which can be a pain to clean) I also have 4 dogs and 1 long haired cat and it cleaned the floors beautifully!! Now don't get me wrong, I did have to refill the tank more than usual, but the suction and water retention it has its still worth every penny spent, it's not any louder than my vacuum and it's leaving my house smell just like the cleaner I chose! Very please customer! I hope it lasts a long time!

Lightweight and compact. Nice for smaller homes. I used it and it worked well to clean my carpet. Only con is there are no attachments but otherwise good machine for the money

I love this cleaner......works great - except the clean water tank has a crack in it. Which seems easily replaced until you try to get a new one.....the part is unavailable and the company is impossible to contact. Its sad.....and yet has become an accepted practice. Its such a good machine....light....easy to use.....but service and parts - impossible.
