Nice machine, but sprayer is out of control

On the small 3" (seems more like 2 inches) brush, the sprayer sprays water out the sides to a total width of about 2-3 feet. Dang! They say it's a spot cleaner, but that's some big spot. I wish there were a way to modulate the sprayer. The big brush doesn't do as good a job as the smaller, but the sprayer is not as wide.

Also, be forewarned (we've found out the hard way - each family member, on their own) that the tank with the filthy water in it has two openings, so if you don't take it out *just so* to empty it, you could end up with filthy water all over your newly cleaned carpet.
