flippin eck mark, a full tank on one lounge! you had better check that you don't have a leak somewhere, that is hard to believe. i have a boxxer 427 and often do a 3-piece and also the carpets in the house before needing to refill, that said it is a water cooled engine and i think that makes the differrence, my old air cooled blazer could get through the water on a hot day,

I must admit I do worry about my TM breaking down, and the thought of lost work, repair costs, hassle and having to use a portable. :(

Sucked as much up as i put down,was rank beige pollyprop,kitchen on side of lounge,so very greasy + a dog into the equation,they didn`t take their shoes off even after the clean,and you get my drift ! cleaned once with extraction pro,then had to break out the double clean ! size was 16x9

Beats me as to why all these t/ms' are using a tank of water for a lounge or 3 piece suite.   Either they have extremely small tanks or they are not using the right prespray, allowing to dwell or agitate, depending on what material or the state of soiling.
All the t/m does is rinse extract. If you have broken down & loosened the soiling you shouldn't need more than one pass at reasonable speed

I agree a good pre spray and a good dwell should do most of the work TM'ed or porti.
