What's great about it: Cleaned up all the stains on my carpet
I bought this steamvac to see if it can remove some stains from a soda spill years ago and recent dirty areas created by my dogs. I was pleasantly surprised that it took all the stains out and made my carpet really clean. The best part is I won't need to hire another carpet cleaner from this time forward!

What's great about it: Complete - even includes cleaning solution!
What's not so great: Nothing I could find
Had some really tough stains on beige carpeting. I had tried everything I could think of to try to clean them. Grease, oil, wine, even soot. I tried every carpet cleaning solution I could find, scubbed with a brush, etc. and nothing was getting the stains out. Before going out to buy new flooring, I researched machines in a last ditch effort to try to clean the existing carpets. From everything I read here and elsewhere, this was the machine to try even above the rental units. Well, I am here to tell you that this machine got every one of the stains out, did it fast and left the rugs dry in less than 20 minutes after cleaning was done. Using the included cleaning fluid did most of the stains but some of the more organic ones required a quick spray with a spot cleaner. I am simply amazed!
So, if you want a machine that has the ability to remove even the toughest stains, is quite reasonably priced and is easy to use this Hoover is the one to buy!

This cleaner has great suction and does a good job cleaning. The carpet is damp when finished and dries in a few hours. It is also recommended to make multiple passes without using the solution to suck up excess moisture.
It is really not a "steam" cleaner however. The water is as hot as the water you use to make the solution and the device does not heat it any further.
I have found that using OxiClean in the machine does a better job than the solution that comes with it.

What's great about it: Super Easy to use
What's not so great: I wish the electrical cord was longer
I have waited until I have had my cleaner for almost a year before I submitted a review. I felt that would give me ample time to determine how well this cleaner would hold up. I have 2 large indoor dogs with one being old and has occassional urine accidents, so I wanted a steam cleaner that would clean AND remove the cleaning solution from my carpets. This cleaner has fulfilled everything I was looking for. It cleans well, is easy to empty the tank and clean and best of all it sucks up the cleaning solution. My previous cleaner did not remove the excess water from the carpet and it took a long time for carpets to dry. I have been more than pleased with this cleaner and if this one ever quits working I will definitely purchase another Hoover product. P.S. I would say that this cleaner has definitely been used a lot and still cleans as well now as it did when I first purchased it. I have paid more for a cleaner that did MUCH less than this one. This has been a great bargain! I would highly recommend this cleaner to anyone that is interested in purchasing a home steam cleaner.

What's great about it: Works great, good price
What's not so great: Dirty water tank fills quickly
I wanted to clean my carpets and not hire an outside company to do them. I have since cleaned my stairs and every room in my house with the Hoover Spin Scrub. The only draw back is the water tank does fill quickly. I has to be emptied and the solution tank refilled to do an entire small room. For the price I love this steam cleaner. It has already paid for itself and I do not mind emptying or filling the tanks. I bought a bottle of the solution for pet stains and odors and the unit did come with a small bottle of solution for high traffic areas. I prefer the high traffic solution, to me it just smells cleaner when I'm done. It is amazing what this carpet cleaner picks up in the carpet. If you do research this model there are only a few negative reviews (can't make everyone happy!) and that is what persuaded me to purchase this model.

I have owned many machines to clean the carpets--this being the best one on the market. It does a fantastic job with cleaning and also the carpets are left almot dry.

What's great about it: The brand name
What's not so great: Plastic parts not so durable
I have this for 1 year and 1 month and a brush fell off after 5 uses. Our house has carpet in 4 bedroom (11x11) and living room (17x13) and dining room (12x12). It cleans carpet which dries in 30 to an hour, depends on the weather.
Stains you have to clean first before using this cause it does not clean stains with the detergent u use.
The water tank was leaking during 3rd use. Maybe my fault cause i put hot water instead of just luke warm.
Good thing i got a protection plan, BestBuy replaced it and i got a protection plan for the new one also for 30 bucks it is worth it.

I LOVE this carpet cleaner. I previously had a Hoover carpet cleaner for over 4 years so I didn't hesitate to purchase another. I do animal rescue and this carpet cleaner comes to my rescue during training, and is just a simple pleasure to keep my carpets clean on a regular basis. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to recommend this product!

What's great about it: Machine was easy to use and does a fantastic job at a great price.
What's not so great: Attachment tool set-up is tedious. We will continue to use a different compact unit for upholstery, car, and spills.
This cleaner is great.
My wife says it's the best household carpet cleaner she has ever used that is non-commercial.
Her only 2 minor complaints are that its relatively heavy if carrying up/down stairs when full, and hand tool setup is a bit tedious.
As a straight-up carpet cleaner, she is 100% satisfied.
She even finds that it does an excellent job on the kitchen floor and other hard surface floors in the house without any additional attachments. Everything we read about the hard floor attachment says don't waist the money and just use the machine as-is on hard floors. - she agrees. Just use the right liquid cleaner for the right floor type and away you go! The built in brushes scrub the floor and the dirty water is sucked away.
A couple of additional comments: we don't believe this unit actually heats the water as you put hot water in the tank. We believe calling this unit a "steam cleaner" is a bit of a liberal use of the word "steam". Lastly the "heated drying" feature is essentially the motor's exhaust directed at the carpet to aid in drying. We believe it definitely does work, but is the result of smart engineering that directs motor airflow towards the carpet, vs. any special feature designed specifically to dry the carpet.
Bottom line is the cleaner works great and was worth the $99 we paid from Best Buy.

What's great about it: price, effectiveness
I bought the SteamVac online during the Thanksgiving sale, and it cost me only $106.24. Can't beat that! It would be probably more to rent a shampooer for a couple of days.
The machine cleaned up my carpet (Light color Berber) at high traffic areas with a couple of old spills that keep resurfacing every time after scrubbing, and this time they are gone for good. I'm impressed.
I wish the clean water tank was a little larger, it only holds about 2 sq. yards worth of solution, so the trips to the sink are quite frequent.
The drying was fast too, a few hours only.

I bought this on the thanksgiving sale for 99 and it was sitting on the door for like a month before we decided to use it. This worked amazingly well and pulled out loads of invisible dirt. We were amazed with the power and how quickly the carpet dried.
I would suggest to all my friends !!!

I've used a Bissell Steam Vac for years. I wasn't really satisfied with it because it would not pick up the water and stay wet for hours, so, I decided to try out the Hoover Steam Vac. I am so glad that I did. This Steam Vac picks up most of the water and the carpets are dry within 1/2 hour. I love this product!!!

What's great about it: The way it cleans and also gets out water from carpets
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter based on the all of the research I conducted. Although Hoover makes more expensive machines, this cleaner had a better rating overall. Since I have had this cleaner myself for over 15 years and love it, I picked up one for her. She loves it as much as I do. It is a top performer and unless you want to spend $600. and for the highest rated Rug Doctor Cleaner, I highly recommend this product. Knock on wood, I have never had one problem from this machine and it HAS been used for 15 years on a regular basis at least twice a year or more on a house filled with wall-to-wall carpeting.

What's not so great: Very clunky...a chore to get it out an use it.
After lots of research settled on this model for best in performance for the price. We had an earlier version of the same thing that lasted us 15 years. Finally had to break down and buy a new one after years of service and abuse. Cleaned the carpets as well as the professional we hired months earlier.

What's not so great: Doesn't run by itself
I received this Carpet cleaner as a Christmas present (I picked it out!!) I will admit this is the first one I've ever owned but I LOVE IT. It was very easy to put together and even easier to use. My apartment is mostly carpet and of a light color. I have 6 grandchildren so I needed a carpet cleaner. The fact that it has attachements that I can use on my upholstery is just one more plus!
