A:AnswerNo. However, you do a wet pass (back and forth while holding spray trigger) and then a dry pass (back and forth NOT holding the spray trigger) so it extracts a lot of the liquid. I imagine there is something in the solution that that inhibits bacterial growth which water on its own would promote. Some of the solutions also put down a protective barrier for future filth prevention. A rinse might remove that before it gets a chance to set in.
A:AnswerThis is def bagless. U empty out the container as it fills up. It's crazy u will see the water go from crystal clear to straight looking like hot cocoa
A:AnswerI am the originally poster- found that the seals were bad right out of the factory. Both seals where the hose connected to were bad. One was ripped and the other didn’t stop the water from pulling upward and leaking.
Wanted to exchange but they told me they’d give me a Best Buy gift card and I would have to repurchase another one and pay for another warranty. Insert eye roll. I bet the seals would have been wayyyy cheaper to replace than having to buy another machine and a protection plan for something that was defective.
