Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Equipped with a powerful 12 amp motor, this easy-to-use machine cleans carpets by applying, scrubbing, and removing hot tap water and cleaning solution. The unit's five rotating SpinScrub brushes gently loosen dirt from fibers, and the brushes pop out for rinsing. Heated cleaning forces hot air from the motor directly into the carpet, making the solution and brushes work more efficiently. Even more, its fingertip Clean Surge function comes in handy for spot and heavy-traffic areas, and the included SpinScrub powered hand tool works great for cleaning upholstery and stairs. Two translucent tanks keep the clean and dirty solutions separate. In addition, the carpet cleaner's quick-release tank latch and one-handed easy-to-remove recovery tank makes clean-up a snap. Thoughtfully designed, the carpet cleaner features a built-in measuring cup, a comfort-grip handle, a toe-operated on/off switch and handle release, a 12-inch cleaning path, an 8-foot attached hose, and automatic tool conversion. Other details include large trundle wheels, a 24-inch power cord with quick-release, and a carrying handle for convenient transport. The carpet cleaner measures 20 by 11-1/4 by 44 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the Job at a Nice Price, August 2, 2006

By	KC "metroxing" (Northern CA) - See all my reviews

My decision to purchase this was mostly on price and gauging its ease of use.

Since renting one from the market is around $50 including shampoo, my thinking was this was an appropriate price to pay for this since after three cleanings, it's yours plus you don't have to return anything.

The other factor is ease of use. This is pretty straightforward. The top container holds the clean water and shampoo. After using, the "sucked up" dirty water is in the container at the bottom.

The Hoover here is nice in that both snap in and out pretty easily.

There are some things to keep in mind.

Try to use near boiling hot water (or a mixture of near boiling water and hot water from the faucet) - you will get a more efficent clean. Pour in the shampoo AFTER you put the water in the container - otherwise you'll get a slew of foam instead of being able to fill it with water to its highest level.

Afterwards, the things always leak some (maybe if you pay $400, it's not a problem) so as soon as you finish, take it outside and start to disassemble the thing. Then dump out the dirty water and hose off the dirty water container. If you can leave it outside for a while to let it dry as it will still drip a little.

This model will do about a 50' by 40' room or so before you need to refill with clean water and empty out the dirty water so if you have many huge rooms, this might not be for you ... or your help will grumble as you have to repeat :-)

If there are specific spots, you still need to spray it with one of those carpet cleaner sprays.

The hose attachment is nice for carpeted stairs but the main unit is pretty bulky so plan carefully so it doesn't tip over (water).

The only real con is that it be nice if the power cord was retractable but other than that, it does what it says it does and the two containers are easy to fill & remove.

Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT INVESTMENT!, August 22, 2006

By	Scarlett (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews

I was hesitant that this would be a worthwile purchase because hoover makes some pretty junky vacuums, however, after reading reviews decided to buy it! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I have had this cleaner for approximately 8 months and have used it several times already, and it is truly amazing for a few reasons.

1) It doesn't truly "steam" carpet - BUT if you put some boiling water in reservoir with detergent it does improve cleaning, but I have cleaned with regular hot tap water with good results too.
2) You will be disgusted, amazed, and pleased at how much dirt this thing gets out of your carpets. Secondly, it really fluffs it up with the 5 rotating brushes.
3) Works great on removing stains quickly (I have an almost 2 year old) so, juice, milk, throwup, you name it! etc. It cleans it out completely. Clean surge also helps.
4) In a couple of hours (or less) the carpet is really DRY!!!
5) Finished carpet "feels" clean. You can get down on it and you just know it is clean like a line dried towel.
I haven't tried it on upholstery or car but will eventually. I am sure that it will do an equally fantastic job!
It is really addicting to use. I have used it probably 4 or 5 times already, no problems. It is true that it will leak a little after you are done with it, but it can easily be wiped up. Can't really complain that much about it. Results are amazing! I hope it lasts a long time. It is definitely worth the money considering what it costs to have it professionally done and also cost of renting a machine (which doesn't do half the job).

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent SteamVac, July 17, 2006

By	K. Skonberg (TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have three dogs and have had a lot of traffic on my carpets. This steamvac cleaned the carpet areas very well. I was very impressed with the amount of dirt that it pulled up versus other steamvacs that I have used on the carpets in the past. It definatley works much better than the kind you can rent from the grocery store. The only issues that I had with it was that it took a long time to clean the carpets (had to go really slowly for it to clean well), but that could have been because the carpets were so dirty. The handheld cleaner for upholstery was a little bulky for small jobs.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase. Hoover offers an excellent warranty also.
