This Hoover tank is one of our most popular parts we sell on line. The demand for these are very high. These were made orignially VERY Cheaply, and most customers would break it by just trying to re-attach the tank after refilling. The bottom of the tank then would begin leaking. I have several customers who were on tanks #4 and 5. The actuall machine really does a nice job when everything is working correctly, that's why most people go ahead and spend the $40-$50 for a new tank.

Hoover sold their company in March to TTI Floorcare. TTI is the parent company of Dirt Devil, and Royal Vacuums. They purchased the Hoover name from Maytag. We have mixed feelings about this takeover, as some parts TTI has stopped making all together. The Hoover V2 Clean solution tank was in too high of a demand however to stop making. They have since redesigned the tank and made it 30% more durable. The new tank has a lot better quality plastic. I have not seen ANY problems on the new design.

Hopefully they have fixed the problem for good. Any person purchasing this part should call ahead and make sure it's the new design, or else you'll be replacing the old style tank at least once a year every year.

I love my Hoover carpet cleaner except that after using it 3 times the tank split apart at the bottom seam. It was very flimsy and cheaply made. Hoover customer service said I should have been more careful. I really don't think it was anything I did. Well this replacement tank is so much better than the original. The plastic is thicker and NO SEAMS. I haven't had any problems and no leaks at all. It fits just like the orignal tank but the design is slightly different. The tank locks into place better than the original tank. If you need a new tank because Hoover should have recalled the faulty one many of us have, then buy this tank and save some money and a lot of hassle.

I bought this because we borrowed a neighbors steam cleaner. While changing out the tanks one started to leak. My husband looked and realized that a spring had come off of the tank. Through investigation on the internet, I found out that this is a common problem with Hoovers. The replacement tank was very easy to put in place. It also is set up a little differently than the original tank. It just stinks that Hoover sells faulty products and didn't do a recall or offer free replacements.

The water/detergent resevior which came with the cleaner began leaking very shortly after we began using it. I tried many "fixes" with little positive results. I was in need of a replacement resevior, and found a "new and improved" version on Amazon. The price was right (in my opinion it should have been a free replacement from the factory)so I ordered it. It arrived quickly, and has completely solved the problem. Thank you.

We have been using the Hoover carpet cleaner for years. After the first year we started having problems with the solution tank. Hoover knew a problem existed but was no help at all.I was hesitant in buying a hoover replacement tank just to have the same problem.
This tank is the high quality tank that should have come with the carpet cleaner. If you have a hoover carpet cleaner you be delighted with this repalcement tank. It also costs less then the hoover replacement. What a great deal. Definately 5 stars.

Like many others the tank that came with the cleaner soon wore out around the valves. The replacement looks much more solid and sturdy, but haven't been able to use yet becasue... BE AWARE - mine did not ship with the handle, which is necessary for operation. Pop the handle off your old one, or be sure to order a replacement as well.

The material seems better than the original and being one piece the solution tank can't separate for the main tank like the original. However it still leaks just as bad as the original, perhaps that is a design of the unit and not the solution/clean water tank.

After reading the comments, I realize Hoover created this market by shipping a faulty product in the first place.........After receiving the new tank, I can see that this one will not crack.......... The Company from which I bought the new tank, claimed to be in stock, gave me a ship date of a few days out, and then didn't ship it until 7 days after that, and they never followed up.......... ( thank goodness it wasn't a heart for a heart transplant victim!!! )

Anybody who has the Hoover Dual V cleaner that works with this tank should go ahead and just get this tank from the get-go. Much, much sturdier than the original one that comes with the cleaner. I have NO regrets with spending the $40 on this tank. I can't recommend this highly enough.

This was a replacement and it works perfectly and just what I expected. It arrived in a timely manner. I am pleased with the whole process.
