Many spot cleaning machines leave soap in your carpet or upholstery after spot removal, but not the Atlantis Express 2553A from Eureka. The 2553A shampoos the carpet, then allows you to rinse with the flip of a switch. This technique effectively removes much of the soapy residue many spot treatment machines leave behind.

A handy machine for spots, spills and pet accidents, this multi-purpose cleaning machine works on small areas of carpet, upholstery and stairs. It's small enough not to be a huge bother to drag out of the closet, and compact enough to store easily. On the other hand, it has a fairly small cleaning tool and tiny tanks for water and solution, so once it's out, it may require frequent refilling, especially if you're cleaning a large area or a number of spots.

The separate tanks for water and shampoo ensure there's no need for measuring or mixing. Equipped with a 6-amp motor, the suction of this model is fairly typical of products in this category. Consider the Eureka Atlantis Express 2553A if storage is at a premium and the ability to rinse is of utmost importance to you in a multi-purpose cleaning machine.


Pros: Rinses soapy residue out of carpets after spot cleaning, compact and easily stored
Cons: May require frequent refilling of water tanks for tough jobs
