Just like the one you rent from the grocer, only much cleaner. It doesn't smell like someone elses nasty house or dog poo. And the spray nozzle isn't clogged by some fool that returned it that way.

Was nervous to spend the money for the attachment. However, Im glad I did. Works great and easily attaches and detaches. Love how long the hose it.

Have been using this for a couple of weeks and so far I love using it. I have actually had my X-3 for six years but it didn't come with a hand tool, so I've had to do without till now. First, it was a little unimpressive initially, but after a few times use, it started to grow on me. The newer style tool is not detachable from the hose, but the pressure hose is now internal, and so it is a nice design. The only issue I had with it was when the hand tool popped off of the hose, which was a bummer, but it can be put back on, so actually there is no problem there. I find that you have to keep the rear of the tool, under where you place your hand, flat against whatever you are cleaning, or water flows out the side in use and makes a bit of a mess. But after you get the hang of keeping the tool fully in contact with the surface being cleaned, the water all stays contained within the tool area and there is no mess. Using a good pre-spray and brushing it lightly a few minutes ahead of running the tool works great, and you can use water with no detergent in the Rug Doctor that way, so you are flushing out the cleaning chemicals and the dirt when you use the tool. This way there isn't any residue of the soap left on the fabric or carpet you are cleaning, and that makes it soft and less apt to re-soil. If you're like me you'll start cleaning everything you can get your hands on because it's a lot of fun using this hand tool for cleaning mattresses, furniture, and small carpets and rugs. If you have a Rug Doctor, and don't have the hose and hand tool, you should treat yourself, because it makes the machine much more useful. I highly recommend this item.

I bought to clean my car before I sell it. Now it works well. At first no solution came out. The X3 pump stopped wotking. Solution strainer was clean and the switch was in TOOL, but no pump. So i decided to use this new tool and a spray bottle with dileted simple green. Worked OK as a wet vacuum only. After a short while the X3 started making a ticking noise. I checked the pump, which had started working. Now all the coffee and juice stains are gone, and the cloth seats look great. This tool will pay for itself with a higher car sale price.

This tool is not as heavy duty as some, but does the job. If you want to clean stains from upholstry or car carpet, it works. This is an essential tool for a used car dealer. The vacuumed up water looks dark as coffee.

Tip: The spray pattern is narrower than the tool, so I hold the tool 6" from the carpet when spraying, then on the carpet to suck it up.

Works great with the rug doctor vacuum. The hand tool is nice for couch fabric, cars, and small areas that the rug doctor cannot reach. I sometimes will use it on a focused areas (eg small stain area). Lastly it is helpful in clearing out the water from lower basin after finishing to prevent mold/mildew within unit. I will just put a rubber clamp to hold down trigger in driveway to waste excess waterbefore disconnecting. Comes with a mesh bag to store/transport which is nice. Material is heavy duty and I have not had any issues with integrity of the tool. Great investment for cleaning!
