Does the upholstery tool also run the water through it to steam clean small areas on sofa's for instance, or is that just a little vacuum cleaner?

The upholstery tool attaches to the cleaner and it has a port to which you plug in asmall hose which feeds the water-cleaner mix. There isn't a power brush but the mix is sprayed on the area to be cleaned. I haven't used this feature but I am sure it would work well. This machine has lots of suction.

It does but I don't recommend this item. The suction is not as strong as it should be and leaves items very wet.

It's simply for hard floors. Can help to take stains out of rugs and carpets as well, but no attachments for upholstery.

No, it doesn't come with an upholstery attachment, but it comes with the carpet glide feature so that you can freshen your carpets with it. You COULD use it on large areas of upholstery too, I suppose, though the handle is long and doesn't lend itself to hand-held use that well. But, for example, you could put sofa cushions on the floor and freshen them that way.

It does a very good job picking up pet hair on floors and rugs in upright mode. The power hand tool does a good job on upholstery, but it takes some practice and more than one pass with my cat's hair. Make sure to clean the dirt cup and the cyclonic filter regularly though.

Yes this cleaner does upholstery. I have had great result using the upholstery cleaner.

I just used my new F7411-900 on my couch and rugs and have to tell you guys that the SteamVac did a really nice job. We could see the difference by comparing it to the yet to be cleaned loveseat. I wouldn't call it a SteamVac but more like a HotWaterVac since you add the hot water but the vacuum doesn't heat it to steam temperature and the water cools while you use it. Don't get the hard floor attachment. I have to return mine because it isn't long enough for the front of the WidePath.

I've used the wand attachment on a couple of our pieces of furniture and it works fine because you can control the amount of water used. But I definitely wouldn't use the round scrubber portion of the machine on furniture because it puts out way too much liquid!As with all surfaces you clean, make sure that whatever cleaner you use is okay for that fabric. Otherwise, you'll make it look worse and possibly void any warranty you may have.

Yes, I just put the whole vacuum on the sofa or bed and vacuum it that way, but you can use the attachment. It's easy to manage and not so heavy.

It's a steam cleaner, meant for carpet/rugs. I wouldn't recommend it for hardwoods....way too much water for that.

I have used it on the carpet, but really only as a sweeper. It works well in that regard. I have pets, so just adding steam without extracting anything is asking to make my house smell like a wet dog :)

I use it as regular vacuum to clean my rooms, does well. The suction is good enough that I think it will remove water from carpets. Hope this helps.

I would advise against it as a Steam cleaner/ extractor for carpets with an upholstery attachment is much more suited as it sucks up all the moisture which a hard surface steamer such as the Steam Fast model you are asking about does not have the ability to extract. Fabric and especially upholstery is subject to mildew and mold if not dried completely, so I personally would not risk that or altering the color.I have a Hoover Steam Cleaner/ Extractor that works well for that job.

There are two settings on the vacuum head, one setting sits lower to the ground. Our home has wood floors, tiled floors, standard carpet, and a low-pile area rug, and this vacuum works on all the surfaces. Additionally, if I slide open a suction cover on the handle (so the suction is less powerful), I can use it on my leather sofa (dog hair!), which is great. This vacuum is a very nice machine.

How can you clean the upholstered furniture? Does it suck the dirty water off it at the same?

Hi Steven. Yes, the vacuum has a nifty 3-in-1 tool, which includes the crevice tool you describe, a little round brush and a furniture nozzle (you can see them on the second photo, behind the vacuum). This tucks neatly under the hood of the machine when not in use. There is also a separate carpet nozzle which is very effective. It is an excellent vacuum -- light, powerful, quiet, maneuverable, with a nice long "arm" for reaching under furniture and a long extension cord.

It will steam anything you could want it to however it provides no suction like an actual carpet cleaning machine. I used it to get some stains out of the carpet in a car and it worked pretty well

In my opinion I think the small pad would get too wet, may not do a great job. I put my comforters in the washer. I bought the machine to steam my grout on my floors and it did a great job. That small pad might be for getting wallpaper off. Hope this helps.
