Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With two hand tools stored onboard, this 1,440-watt hot-water vacuum offers plenty of options for cleaning carpets deeply and bare floors thoroughly. It goes to work with five rotating brushes (two speeds) after you've dry-vacuumed floors or upholstery. One powered tool brushes upholstery and stairs clean, while a second powered tool scrubs hard surfaces with a tough synthetic pad. The vacuum applies hot tap water and cleaning solution (which are included) and then vacuums up the dirty water. No faucet hookup is required. Both the clean-water and dirty-water tanks detach for filling and emptying, and the vacuum shuts off automatically when the dirty-water tank is full.

The vacuum cleans a 12-inch path going forward and backward, automatically adjusts for carpet heights, and has a finger trigger for applying cleaning mixture. It also has a toe-operated on/off switch and comes with a 27-foot cord and an 8-foot tool hose. Assembly requires just two nuts and bolts and one screw (which are included), and the instruction booklet is easy to follow. The vacuum carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this SteamVac, November 15, 2001
By 
Teresa Gann (Avondale, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hoover F5898-900 SteamVac LS Edition Carpet Cleaner (Kitchen)
After trying out several different ones, I found this SteamVac to have the perfect combination of features for my needs. First, it has great suction, leaving the carpets nearly dry after cleaning. Scrubbing brushes get the carpet really clean. On board tools with automatic conversion make it easy to use the tools when you need them - without have to stop, attach a converter, move the equipment, etc. When you are done with the tools, you simply keep going with the carpet! Its also easy to clean and store. In addition, I prefer the cleaning path size over the "widepath". It gives better suction, and takes up a lot less room to store. This is a great machine!

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful tool for clean freaks!, June 11, 2002

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hoover F5898-900 SteamVac LS Edition Carpet Cleaner (Kitchen)
Okay, so maybe you're not like me. (Or maybe you are.) An impeccably clean house is just one of those things I take pride in. And while you can vacuum a carpet until you're blue in the face, let's face it: Some types of carpet soiling just does not and cannot disappear with a vacuum cleaner alone. Enter hot water extraction cleaners.

Like others here, I've previously used Bissell cleaners with mixed success. The canister style Bissell that I purchased a few years ago worked more or less. But it had a tendency to leave way too much water in the carpet with its anemic suction power. Plus the inconvenience of hooking the thing up to a faucet to use it (not to mention the clean-up process) meant that it lived in the closet more than it worked, and begged to be replaced with something better.

Despite that, when I began searching for something to replace it, I tended to look first at Bissell, thinking I'd give their self-contained cleaners a try. Thankfully I didn't limit my shopping to retail stores, and dropped by here not only to price the cleaners, but read the reviews. It saved me from making what could have been a mistake: another Bissell purchase.

Based on positive reviews of the Hoover, coupled with great experiences with Hoover vacuums, I decided to purchase one... Great decision. Why?

1. The Hoover has outstanding suction power, leaving the carpets barely damp after cleaning, and quick to dry completely. No waiting and waiting.

2. It works. You'll be amazed at what comes out of your carpets and into the cleaner's tank. (Or you'll just be grossed out.)

3. Clean-up is as easy as possible. None of these cleaners is (or could be) clean-up free. But the Hoover makes it as simple as I could imagine.

4. Hoover's cleaning solution -- unlike Bissell's -- leaves a nice, clean smell that's not too strong to start, but then dissipates as the carpet dries. No room-filling perfume scents that linger long after the cleaning's done (and rapidly become irritating).

I'll be the first to admit I have not tried Bissell's self-contained extraction cleaners, but my older, canister style Bissell extractor was a disappointment. In contrast, I love my Hoover SteamVac, and would highly recommend it for those who, like me, just sleep better at night knowing those floor coverings are as nice and tidy as possible.
