Bissell 2080 QUICKSTEAMER Upright Vacuum

I just bought the Bissell 2080 QuickSteamer Upright Vacuum in January 2007. This carpet shampooer is designed for area rugs and small areas of carpet that are not too soiled. If you are looking to deep clean carpet in a rental property this is not the machine and it was not designed for it. Don't be fooled by the scrawny appearance, this is a well built vacuum. I was very impressed by the quality when I received the product. I have no doubt it will last me many happy years. I can't see where there could be any leaking as I read once or twice. Just follow the easy instructions and you can't go wrong. In short, I give this vacuum a 100% satisfaction rating and I am not easy to please.
