from Reading, PA

I have rented rug cleaning machines in the past and decided to purchase one after our daughter spilled a blue drink on the carpet. After reading several reviews and consumer reports, we decided ro purchase this machine to clean our carpets. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, allowing me to assemble the machine in 15 minutes. We have light grey carpets in our basement which tend to show the dirt, especially in the high traffic areas and near the furnature. My initial intention was to do some spot cleaning on the hight traffic areas and the "blue spill.". However, after cleaning the initial trouble areas, I decided to clean the rest of our house. Overall, the machine does a very good job of cleaning and leaves the carpets dryer than other machines I've used in the past. The only drawback I would mention is the water tanks need to be changed more frequently than a commercial machine. So if you plan to clean a lot of carpet, plan to make 2-3 empty/refill trips per room.

What's great about it: Excellent cleaning performance, separate clean and dirty water containers, easy to use

What's not so great: Plastic handle on clean water tank

I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a very easy machine to use for everyday dirt. This does not take the place of or compete professional-grade machines

What's great about it: Easy to use & relatively cheap.

What's not so great: There are a couple attachments that do not ship with it.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Steamer

on September 29, 2010

Posted by: draws09

from Manassas, VA

Just bought this yesterday and used it immediately. I have 2 dogs (one being a puppy), so my carpets are terribly dirty. I had the puppy (potty accidents) smell on the hallway stair case, used the Hoover and its almost completely gone. I just went through the stairs to give it a quick run through to "test" the machine out and I was not disappointed. The used water from the stairs looked like muddy water, thats how dirty they were. I previouly owned not one, but two bissel pro heat steam vacs, and both have broken. The Hoover does a much better job, its lighter, and has way better attachments. The attachemtns hose is kind of pain to take on and off, but the spin brushes make it worth the hassel on the Hoover. Overall, Great Buy.

What's great about it: Great cleaning, seperate dirty/clean water tank, pretty light weight

What's not so great: attachement hose can be a bit confusing at first

I would recommend this to a friend!

great home cleaner

I bought this since I was renting a machine every 3 months for our house. We have 3 dogs and 2 kids so I was always having some stain. It is light- compared to commercial machines, cleans very well and is easy to empty and store. I have not used the tool yet but the stand up version is GREAT.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great machine

on November 28, 2010

Posted by: Tealeaf06

from Douglasville, GA

Works great. I have a small puppy who is being house trained. Not to mention a lot of carpet in the house. So I started to clean the carpet in front of the door because of the heavy foot trafic and ended up having to clean the whole room because the carpet was a totatlly different color. It even got out a stain that previous rentals couldn't get out. It is very easy to move across the floor. The clean water tank is easy to fill. The built in measuring cup is nice and the fill line is easy to see. The dirty water tank is a breeze to empty. The attachment hose is easy to connect. Not to mention my dogs don't seem to mind the noise which is smiliar to that of a vacuum cleaner. Last but least your carpets dry pretty quickly. Takes less time than a rental does. Over all I am very happy with this product.

What's great about it: Dirty tank water is easy to empty. Floors dry quickly. Easy to use and doesn't hurt your back cleaning. Light weight.

What's not so great: You have to connect the racks that hold the cords and attachments. Hose isn't attached to the machine.

I would recommend this to a friend!

This Cleaner is Fantastic

on December 20, 2010

Posted by: HomeCleaningGuy

from Butler, PA

I bought this carpet cleaner because I had an upcoming Christmas party with neighbors and all my kids and other family members were coming in for Christmas. I had lots of spots from my little Bichon-Frise puppy, so I was hoping that it would do the job. Boy did it come through with flying colors!! I did my whole house (3,400+ sq feet) with just the introductory bottle in the box, and the "Pet Cleaner" bottle from Hoover at Wal-Mart. The instructions, for the most part, were understandable; I got the machine up and going, and the cleaning task was done in 2 partial days. It is a really good machine. One important point--you really need to make sure that the dirty water tank is clearly connected firmly into the base, or the suction won't work properly. Read the instructions carefully and you should be on your way to clean carpets. It worked for me!

What's great about it: The quality of the cleaning it does

What's not so great: Assembly can be a little tricky and can possibly take longer time

I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to use

I've only used it once, so far, but was really pleased with the performance. I have animals, so lot's of opportunity for messes. Cleaned a high traffic area & was shocked at how much dirt it cleaned out of the carpet! I only pre-spotted & used hot water & it cleaned up great! Can't wait to try it on the tile floors.

I would recommend this to a friend!
