5.0 out of 5 stars Great Steam Cleaner, May 31, 2005
By 
Greg (Durham, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hoover F5520 SteamVac Duo Vacuum (Kitchen)
I never thought I would be excited enough about a steam cleaner to actually write a review. But I am, and here's why...

1. Design: The F5520 is uniquely packaged. The device is lighter than any of the other full sized vaccuums that I tested. Equally important is the colapsing arm which allows it to be stored in a small space.

2. Effectiveness: The machine features two resivours, one for solution and the other for waste water. You fill it up with hot water and detergent and get to work. There is a trigger on the handle, spray the spot and slowly roll back and forth over the carpet. The hoover blows hot air down and agitates the carpet with brushes. It really works well.

3. Fairly Quite: The Hoover is actually quieter than our vac.

4. Easy Attachments: The Hoover comes with two attachments for the wand. The hose is really easy to use and is smartly integrated into the machine (no folding or winding necessary). Because the machine is reasonably light you can actually use it on the stairs (with the wand).

5. Price: Most other comperably featured steam vac cost closer to 200 or more.

The only disadvantage that the cleaning path is 9" wide compared to 12" for most other vacs. But I really don't think that this had a measurable negative effect on our experience.

Bottome line: Stop comparison shopping and buy this vac, it is a great product.

Greg

This review is from: Hoover F5520 SteamVac Duo Vacuum (Kitchen)
So far, I am extremely happy with my SteamVac Duo. I cleaned two rooms, following the directions closely, and not only did the stains come out, but the heat from the SteamVac dried the carpet quickly.
Just remember to snap the two tanks (solution and receiving) into place---I first noticed this when I started my cleaning, I noticed there was no dirty water coming into the receiving tank.
I appreciate the telescope handle, making this SteamVac fold into a compact size, as I am a paraplegic (paralyzed from the waist down) and my coordination is not what it used to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mighty Little Duo, June 13, 2005

This review is from: Hoover F5520 SteamVac Duo Vacuum (Kitchen)
I just used my SteamVac Duo for the first time, and I was very pleased with the results. After buying two hand-held spot cleaners and not being satisfied, we decided to bite the bullet and buy a steamer. The Duo is excellent for our fully carpeted apartment. We have two dogs and needed something for their spot creations. As gross as it might sound, being able to smell the nasty spots being infiltrated by the Duo's steam was quite rewarding in the war against doggy odors.

I had no problem with the telescoping handle being flimsy. I found it quite manageable and actually easier to handle than most vacuums. It seems almost made for a woman! The tanks were easily filled and emptied as well. No struggling with hard-to-release latches.

As far as the Duo goes, I am 100% satisfied with our purchase. No complaints in this spot-free household.
