I have a cfr tool. It cleaned well, dried fast, but could be somewhat uncomfortable and awkward after a while, but.... I haven't found any tool yet that isn't.
The head on ours is 3 inches. Can take awhile, but does a nice job, even on heavily soiled fabric.
I was going to buy a seven inch head for it,to speed things up on the large areas, such as the backs of sofas,large cushions, etc, because the heads are quickly interchangeable.
Before I got around to ordering the new head, the valve broke on it, and I had a hard time finding one for it, so we went back to our old internal pmf.
We have like 2- 3.5" external pmf , 2- 3.5" internal pmf , 1 - 4.5" internal pmf with hide-a-hose, the 3"cfr, a Kleenrite tool, and our newest
Sapphire tool.
As stated above, the valves on the pmfs are junk. The valve on the cfr is junk. The Kleenrite "awkward sob" has blown two internal hoses @ like $40 a piece.
The
Sapphire is all we use now, only about 6mo old, so far so good.
