Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This powerful home steam vacuum saves you the expense and hassle of having to rent a steam cleaner and keeps rugs, upholstery, and bare floors (other than hardwoods) looking like new. The powerful 12-amp motor combined with five spinning brushes that operate at either high or low speed lift the usual dirt and grime out of carpets. By pulling on the trigger in the comfortable upright handle, the deep cleaner releases the included carpet/upholstery cleaner and hot tap water. For more stubborn stains or for high-traffic areas, the SteamVac also has a Clean Surge feature, which sends an extra blast of cleaning solution into the stain by simply pressing a button on the handle. When cleaning is complete, release the trigger and the SteamVac forces hot air into the cleaning path so you can do a few dry strokes over the stain. The deep cleaner has two water tanks to keep clean water separate from dirty water. The top tank holds the detergent and 1 gallon of hot water and automatically mixes the two so you don't need to get your hands wet. The lower tank holds the dirty solution picked up from the carpet and unlatches to easily pour out into a sink without spilling. For cleaning stairs or upholstery, the deep cleaner offers a long 8-foot hose and a special stair/upholstery nozzle that scrubs out spots. Other details include a brush indicator, which informs you that the brushes are spinning; an on/off foot pedal; a handle-release pedal; and a 24-inch wrap-around cord. A pet clean-up kit for carpet and upholstery comes included, containing 16 ounces of Premium Pet detergent and a pack of cleaning wipes designed for pet stains and odors. The steam vacuum measures 20 by 11-1/4 by 44 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get the Hoover SteamVac, You will LOVE it!!!, June 4, 2009

How do I love my Hoover SteamVac? Let me count the ways... This carpet cleaning machine is FANTASTIC. As soon as I got the SteamVac, I cleaned some incredibly filthy areas on beige carpet. One was a major stain in a high traffic area that someone trampled into the carpet, while bringing groceries in with wet and dirty shoes. The other was an old stain my daughter made from a spilled chocolate-soymilk smoothie that she didn't clean up properly because she was in a rush to go somewhere. The SteamVac cleaned both of these problem spots to such a respectable level that I won't be embarrased in front of company anymore. This is an older carpet, so it doesn't look brand new. But, that doesn't stop me from jumping for joy.

Incidentally, I don't use the expensive, petroleum-chemical-based carpet cleaning solutions. Instead, I use water and a little bit of the nontoxic 'Lemon' SimpleGreen in the solution tank. I also worked on problem spots with a toothbrush and a squirt bottle with a VERY diluted solution of dishsoap and water. Then, to eliminate soap residue, a final rinse over the whole shebang with a solution of plain vinegar and water. TIP: If you want to experiment with carpet-cleaning solutions yourself, just be sure you pick LOW-SUDSING products.

And, nobody beats AMAZON on price. Can I just say FREE SHIPPING? Incredible!

This is a great carpet cleaner. The scrubbing brushes is what sets it apart
and above all the other types. Easy to use. A bit heavy to push back and
forth but well worth the effort. This machine worked on spots that a
professional carpet cleaner couldn't budge. Fantastic for all stains and
great for those pets stains that happen when you least expect it. I use my
small SpotBot Pet for those little stains but this is the machine to use for
bigger stains and just to freshen and brighten up the carpet. Apparently
there is also an attachment that you can buy that will enable the machine
to clean floors too. I intend to get that but for now, it is well worth the
cost and effort.

So I discovered that this is pretty much the exact same model as the more famous Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge
It has the clean surge as well, which does great with pet urine.
I think the only difference is that it's packaged with a small bottle of the cleaner for Pets and some wipes. As far as I can tell.
I've been using it almost every weekend. I get down and smell the spots afterwards and only a few times did I still smell it. I used the clean surge and it did the trick.
We also live where there's new home construction and I suspect we have a lot of 'construction dust' in our house. Apparently we do and for new carpet it's amazing how brown the water is! It picks up sand that I didn't know was there.
Still fairly new so we'll see how it ages, but so far so good. I bought a few extra gadgets for it online at [...] and they came fast. Even though I vacuum first, I still get dog hair caught up in the intake bit and the little removal tool only gets so much. I hope that I can keep it hair-free enough to make sure it doesn't become a problem. The fact that you can remove the brushes is great though, so you can wash them well.
