Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Designed for pet owners and active households, this hot-water vacuum cleans carpets and scrubs bare floors with an extra-wide, 14-inch cleaning path after they've been dry-vacuumed. The vacuum applies hot tap water and cleaning concentrate (16 ounces of carpet/upholstery and bare-floor concentrates included) into carpet fibers or onto bare floors with six rotating brushes at two speeds (plus "off" when brushing isn't needed) and then vacuums up the dirty water. A powered hand-tool comes along for scrubbing extra-soiled areas, stairs, and auto interiors. This model also has a scrub module that fits onto the hand-tool for removing scuff marks and spills on hard floors and a bare-floor attachment. No faucet hookup is required. Both clean-water and dirty-water tanks detach for filling and emptying, and the machine shuts off automatically when the dirty-water tank is full. The vacuum cleans going forward and backward and automatically adjusts for carpet heights, bare floors, and an accompanying stair/upholstery nozzle (great for auto interiors). It has a finger-trigger for applying the cleaning solution and a surge button to spray more solution on spots and heavy-traffic areas. The on/off switch is toe-operated for convenience. A 10-foot tool hose and 30-foot power cord provide an extra-wide cleaning reach. Assembly requires just two nuts and bolts and one Phillips-head screw (all included), and the instruction booklet is easy to follow. The vacuum carries a 1-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Purchase Long Overdue,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hoover F6040-900 SteamVac Widepath LS with CleanSurge Carpet Cleaner (Kitchen)
I'd been looking at SteamVacs for a while now and had used other Hoover models so knew I wanted one by them. With a new puppy, I couldn't put it off any longer. Brought it home today and immediately put it to the test. Easy to assemble and does a great job. The only thing is that you have to expect to dump the dirty water about every two times you fill with clean solution. Takes time and does take some work, but if you want clean carpets without the cost of paying someone to take care of it for you, you should pick this up.

Great for my first shampooer!,

This review is from: Hoover F6040-900 SteamVac Widepath LS with CleanSurge Carpet Cleaner (Kitchen)
In desperate need of a shampooer, totally tired of borrowing all the time, my boyfriend picked this one up. OH MY GOD! It's amazing! It picks up dirt from the carpet with such ease! We have two boys who read the newspaper on the floor, and it's not doing a very good job of picking up the ink off the carpet, but I think we've at least extended the life of the carpet by ordering them off the floor and onto the couch. It turned our dark grey carpet almost white! (The bedroom hadn't been shampooed on years) It's extremely easy to handle, gliding along the roughest carpet with ease. It's not too loud, but, it's a shampooer, of course it's not to be used when someone's sleeping. It's easy to fill with shampoo, and easy to dump. It lets you know when you're running out by significantly changing the sound it makes. All in all, it's a good buy!

Pulls up dirt like you won't believe!,
By
This review is from: Hoover F6040-900 SteamVac Widepath LS with CleanSurge Carpet Cleaner (Kitchen)
Assembly was reasonably easy, with only three screws to turn (provided) and a Phillips wrench required. This machine pulled up so much dirt from our berber carpet that I was really rattled that babies had been crawling on it. We had just shampooed it a week before, and the water was almost black. The 12-amp motor really gets a lot more dirt than your average rental shampooer. The stains (baby spit up and cat "hairball" stains, and one dark pawprint) did not come out, even with a pretreater. They faded considerably, but professionally carpet cleaning knocks these out immediately, which is what I expected with this Hoover (to never have to call a professional again after making the initial ... investment). I did use the hand-held tool, too, for treating the stains. I initially just used the surge cleaner, then tried the pretreater (letting sit for at least 10 minutes) followed by the hand tool, then used the upright again on the same spots. Still have visible spots. Maybe my baby and cat simply have bionic spit up, or it sat too long. But, unquestionably, it pulled up a LOT of dirt. My carpets are cleaner.
