This is probably the best home product purchase I have ever made! I have two dogs and a 7-year-old house, yet my carpets looks great! This rug cleaner has rotating heads that scrub the cleaning solution lightly into your rug, and powerful suction that sucks the solution and dirt right out -- keeping the rugs immaculate and the pile of the carpeting straight. Yes, it does leave a little moisture behind, but if you use hot water with your cleaning solution, the carpet dries fast. My Hoover Steam Vac is a few years old and still going strong. If it ever died, I would gladly purchase a new one and know that I was making a wise purchase. Buy it, you'll love it too!

I wrote a 5 star review (below) and neglected to mention one more wonderful thing -- furniture cleaning! I have a young (small dog) who ocassionally jumps up on the furniture. Well, he has done that with muddy feet. Fortunately this cleaning machine has a small brush attachment that cleaned the mud right off the furniture without leaving a mark. What a great machine! Oh ... and as for the person who said it left their rug wet for "days" -- they must have used it improperly. When I use this machine for the familyroom carpet (where the dogs are let in and out via a sliding glass door), it not only does a wonderful cleaning job & sucks up most of the water, but the carpet is completely dry just a few hours later.

This truly is a great machine!

This Steam cleaner is great! I recently purchased it from Amazon.com on their Friday sale, at a price that can't be beat... with free shipping. That's saying a lot since I live in Alaska.
Anyway, I love it. The clean and dirty water tanks are easy to fill and empty. They even have handles. They pop right on and off. You can have it up and running in minutes. Some people complained that the tanks were too small and had to be emptied/filled to often. I didnt see that as a problem, I did my living room ( it's a sort of small room )in 2 and a half tanks. If they made the tanks any bigger though, it would add too much weight, and I would rather empty them than try to drag around the extra weight, it' really easy anyway.
I did my whole downstairs and the carpet looks great, my previous cleaner did an okay job, but nothing compaired to this. It leaves my carpet fluffy and soft, like brand new, and it drys in a few hours. I would highly recommend this product!
Oh and by the way....mine came with a bonus cordless Hoover wet dry dustbuster....Which was a great surprise ...I love it!
Thanks Amazon.com for all the excellenet deals, you're the Greatest!

This is a great cleaning machine. I had become disgusted with the poor results I was getting from hiring companies to clean my carpets. My worst stain was red gatorade, and this thing got most of it out on the first pass. It took up all the other juice stains I had, even the ones the "professionals" said would never come up. I strongly reccommend purchasing a hoover windtunnel vaccum to go with it. they are great as well. (I have owned all the major brands and found hoover to be superior) This is well worth every penny, and now I don't have to wait ad do my whole home at once. It is as easy as vaccuming so you can just get it out really quick to clean when things happen. It also has many great attachments.

This is a fantastic machine. I couldn't believe how clean it got my well-abused older carpet. It even brought the crushed traffic areas back to life! One tank handled the whole kitchen, landing & stairs - another took care of the dining room and hall. I was concerned that I'd have to keep emptying the tank and adding more solution, but that was not the case. I also found that my carpets dried within a couple of hours - no different than with a professional cleaning service. I suspect the person who had a problem with wet carpets did not use it properly or go back over the cleaned areas as many times as recommended.

Since it normally runs $125 to clean my carpets (and that doesn't include the upstairs bedroom) I can see where this will be a tremendous money saver.

I also have a dog that sheds a great deal, and even though I thought I vacuumed thoroughly before cleaning, this extracted a ton of hair that I couldn't even see.

I can't wait to do my upholstery!

We bought our widepath 4 years ago when we purchased our house. Cleaning companies charged more than the cleaner cost to clean the entire house. We were very happy with it, and still are as the hard floor attachment is great on our hardwood. After having a puppy that is now a 3 yr. old dog, it has been a great asset to have. Most of the messes have come up although there have been a few stains that just won't come out.

I'm only giving this four stars, even though it has been a great product. The reason being is that we have noticed that the hose attachment has cracked all the way through on the interior part of the machine. You pretty much have to lay the thing flat to put in the water take-up tank and at the bottom where you see the hose is where it has cracked.

The spin brush attachment was excellent on stairs, as our carpeting is around 12 years old and still in good condition. It brought the nap back up and has helped us put off replacing carpeting.

I will probably invest in a smaller carry around unit, like a Little Green Machine for the stairs as I think this will also be good for the car as well. As long as the hose on it works, I wouldn't buy another cleaner, but since mine failed, I think it might not be worth it to have it repaired as I think it will eventually crack again.

I love my Hoover Steam Vac. It is as easy to use as a regular vacuum. I clean my carpet and furniture on a regular basis. I have animals and unfortunately sometimes they get sick and I just get out the steam vac and it's gone. I am very pleased with the Hoover Steam Vac.

I got one of these for Chistmas 2001 and Have been using it atleast once a month since then. My carpets have never been cleaner to say the least. I am a renter and you never know what the person that lived here before spilt on the floor and all I can say is that whatever it was is gone. You'll never know how truly nasty your carpets and for that matter upholstry are until you use this thing. It sucks everything out so well. I used it in my car too on the upholstery, floor and even the floormats and my 12 yr old car looks brand new. I am now the envy of both sides of my husband and I's families or atleast my carpets are. Every time we call and say we are going to visit they ask me to bring my Steam Vac. This is so much easier to handle then renting a rug doctor and does't hurt your back and much more convienient too so you use it more, OK alot more. Not only that, it works a [heck] of a lot better too and the attachments are great!! It even fluffs up your carpet and once totally flattened old carpet looks so much better. My husband works in the oil field and always gets very dirty with sand and oil ect.. and I only let him sit in his recliner when he gets home because it's gross and his chair , if it was'nt for this Steam vac would be in the [garbage] by now. It gets every filth and grime you can imagine out and makes the upholstery look brand new. I highly highly highly recommend this product !! I honestly could not be happier . Hoover has truly put out a great product in this Baby!

There is a problem with the weight distribution of the vac and although it cleans well it does not suck the water back up well and leaves the carpet wet for 3 to 4 days.
