Tank SizeNot specified by manufacturer
Suction & Extraction18 kPa

The uwant Portable Carpet Cleaner is a corded spot cleaner with 18 kPa suction power, designed for quick cleanup of stains on carpet, rugs, upholstery, car seats, and furniture. It features a compact, lightweight design for portability and includes multiple cleaning tools and a brush head. The unit uses unheated or room-temperature water (typical for budget portables) and comes with a solution tank and dirty-water collection tank. Aimed at budget-conscious homeowners who want a lightweight alternative to full-size carpet cleaners, it's suitable for spot treatment and light pet messes rather than deep cleaning. The low-noise technology appeals to apartment dwellers. At ~$70 (post-discount), it's positioned as a value option in the portable cleaner market, though it trades off heat and suction power against premium rivals like Bissell Little Green.
