Product Description
Amazon.com Review
With its five spinning brushes and fingertip controls, the 12-amp Hoover SteamVac V2 gets carpet, upholstery, and tough stains clean deep down. The cleaner is also suitable for tile, ceramic, marble, and linoleum floors (though not appropriate for hardwoods). Constructed with a dual-nozzle air path, the cleaner provides powerful edge-to-edge suction for thorough cleaning and efficient water removal. Designed to agitate the dirt out of carpet fibers and off bare floors, the SpinScrub brushes can be turned off with a simple switch and removed for easy maintenance. The cleaner uses a two-tank design that holds up to a gallon of water at a time and automatically mixes the cleaning solution, so you don’t have to monitor it. Both tanks are enclosed with convenient handles, making them easy to remove and transport. The recovery tank automatically shuts off suction when it’s full and comes with a built-in lint screen. A removable view window on the nozzle lets you see dirty water returning to the machine.
For above-floor tasks, the cleaner features an 8-foot hose and a stair/upholstery tool. Conversion to tool cleaning is manual but quick, and you can remove the hose and tool caddy altogether for more streamlined use. The cleaner comes with a carrying handle, a 27-foot cord, quick-release cord hooks, and a foot pedal to release the handle. Fingertip switches control rinsing and washing, and a trigger lets you release an extra surge of cleaning solution. The beltless design, as well as the removable brushes and nozzle cover, simplify maintenance. Hoover includes a 16-ounce bottle of carpet/upholstery detergent and backs up the machine with a full one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

5.0 out of 5 stars
I love this thing!,
By Avalon Daughter (I wish I was in Glastonbury) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hoover F7205-900 SteamVac V2 with SpinScrub Brushes (Kitchen)
I'm a cleaner and I also have allergies to dust, mold, pollen and also have two cats so I love when my place is fresh, clean and sparkling. I own this thing and I love it.I originally borrowed my mother's and after using it was surprised at how clean everything was. I've had a number of comments from friends that the rugs look brand new. Better yet, I was dating someone who had severe asthma and when he walked in, he took a deep breath and said: "You cleaned your carpets, right?" He didn't wheeze one bit the entire time he was there. I also own a Dyson vacuum. Love that, too. When I power clean, I'll vacuum over everything slowly and thoroughly first. All the cat hair picks up plus dust, dirt and my own hair. Then I'll start working with the Hoover. Despite the power behind the Dyson, the water in the Hoover is always dark when I'm washing. Within a short amount of time, the rugs feel great! There is a rinsing option as well if you want to make sure all of the cleaner is out of the rug and you can pretty much go over everything without depressing the clean button to suck up excess water. This also has a squeegee attachment to do the linoleum floors. Good idea. Scrubs then scoops up the water and sucks it up. There is a a different detergent for linoleum so take a look around. However, it is very LOUD when doing bare floors. Not recommended at night. :) Also, there are two Hoover SteamVacs, one with more brushes. My mother's had the fewer amount and I haven't noticed any difference between the two. I just ended up with the bigger one because when I ordered the smaller from Sears, they sent the larger by mistake and said: "Oh, well, you get it for the other price." Good deal! Good tip: If you want to clean in the winter -- don't hesitate! Especially when it's really cold outside. Not only does it get the dirt that's been laying around while your windows are all shut but when it's so cold that the humidity is at 0 you'll be surprised how fast the rugs dry. I did mine just now an hour ago and they're all dry. The only thing I'd recommend is to buy a allergenic detergent. The best one I've used is Bissell 720 Multi-Allergen Removal Formula, which you can find on Amazon.com. This really seems to do the trick when it comes to getting out the junk in the rugs. Things do snap apart for cleaning and can take a little time, but if you vacuum thoroughly enough before hand you shouldn't have this excess of junk to pull out. There are some crevices where things can get up into, but snap it off, turn on the garbage disposal and get the faucet hose and you should be good. With all vacuums and rug machines, I have this advice: You have to go slowly with ANY machine. Not snail-slow, but don't go so fast! Give both time to really pick up. If you sweep too fast, it misses the dirt. Quick swiping is alright for last minute company cleaning, but once a week I really take my time with my vacuum. A good rule of thumb for cleaning (if you really want that fresh look without overloading the machine with dirt) would be vacuum once a week -- wash once a month. The combo of both these machines has well been worth it. I recommend this machine for any household and if you want super clean, get the Dyson vacuum as well.

Don't buy this if you plan to use the attachment tools,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hoover F7205-900 SteamVac V2 with SpinScrub Brushes (Kitchen)
After doing a lot of research looking at reviews here on Amazon and doing a feature comparison on the Hoover website, I had decided that the V2 was the machine for me. I even looked at the user manual on the Hoover website to verify that setting up the machine for the attachment tools would be quick and easy, and it seemed like it would be. Just attach the hose to the slot in the front of the machine, plug in the little dispenser hose on the side, and you're all set. Before spending so much money on an online purchase (just thing of the shipping costs to return it!), I decided to look the machine over at a local store. Sure enough, it takes just a few seconds to change over to the attachment tools. The problem is, it doesn't stay hooked up! The hose is only held in by a friction fit - you just put it in the slot and give it a quarter-turn. The fluid hose helps a little to keep it in place, but not much. Just by wiggling the hose around a bit a few feet away from the machine (as if I were using the attachments), the hose popped lose in a few seconds. Two store employees trying two different machines couldn't get the hose to stay in place. The problem is that there's no way to lock the hose in place. How many of you have those extension wand things for your vaccuum cleaners? You pull out the extension and turn it a bit to "lock" it in place, but it never stays there. As you use it, it slowly wiggles loose, and next thing you know, your extension is no longer extended! Well, this machine had pretty much the same problem, except it didn't stay in place more than a few seconds.The other problem that I noticed is that, because of the loose fit, it didn't seem to me that you would get very good suction with the attachment tools, and I've seen comments here that show people have had that problem. If you don't plan on using this machine with the attachment tools, then it's probably fine, but I would stay away from it otherwise. Personally, I decided to go with the LS model, but they're being phased out and are hard to find.

Plastic containers broken,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hoover F7205-900 SteamVac V2 with SpinScrub Brushes (Kitchen)
I bought my first steam vac 2 almost a year ago. I had to take the 1st one back because it lost suction the 2nd time I used it. Then I had the 2nd one about 4 months and the plastic containers started falling apart. First the handles fell off then it just got worse from there. Now I cant use it at all. The only thing is is that it really worked well when its working. I am trying to decide if I should just buy another one. I saw some place that I can buy the containers (top and bottom) but they are like 35.00 a piece. Thats a little expensive. I know I should of done something about it when it first happened but I just borrowed my moms (who has a broken top tank but has it duct taped). Now its probably to late.
