from New Mexico

Bought it to clean up after one dog and one cat and worked great. The house smells much better and I could see in the water I was throwing out just how dirty the carpet had been. I don't think it had been cleaned before by the previous renters.

The brushes really get in there. The attachment to get along the edges of the carpet and the wall worked wonderful and it had the same amount of suction as cleaning the floor. The upholstery attachment was just the same. I could see the fabric brighter as the cleanser and brushes got out the dirt.

Was definitely worth the investment.

Some light assembly required but nothing major. All I needed was a screwdriver.

I like that both the clean and dirty water containers both hold quite a bit of water. Lasts enough to go over a room twice.

The bottle of carpet cleaner it came with was ok. Got the dirt out and didn't leave an overpowering scent.

Drying didn't take long at all either. Cleaned in the late evening and by morning it was completely dry.

Easy to switch to use the attachments once you've tried it once. Easy to get the hang of.

What's great about it: Attachments, worth the price, easy to assemble, great suction power.

What's not so great: Loud, but expected of just about all carpet cleaners.

Had a lot of dark stains near my kitchen entrance. Clean Surge button worked so well and the carpet looked almost new. A few extra passovers with just the suction and my carpet was dry before I went to bed.

What's great about it: Light weight

A great pick!

This is the one. We did a lot of comparison shopping (which I tell you is not as exciting as it sounds) and frankly, we used a lot of Best Buy reviews to help form an opinion. We selected and bought this Hoover model and were really pleased when we used it on our carpets. It's was very easy to assemble and though it takes some work to get out tougher stains, they do come out. As one other reviewer noted, you can use the strokes as wet, extra surge wet or dry and this helps to get the carpet to dry very quickly. I would highly recommend this model for your carpet and upholstery steam cleaning needs.

So far so good!

We just bought this after seeing that this was the best rated steam cleaner on Amazon.com. The house that we purchased has snow white carpet thoughout. Who puts in snow white carpet? I didn't think they even made snow white carpet! Anyway, with a dog who loves to jump in the lake and a cat who throws up from time to time, we had to get something great. So far I'm thrilled. Since we moved in there has been a stain on the carpet that looked like a 2-foot line of oil that dripped. I tried the Resolve 2-in-1 carpet cleaner, which is a fantastic product, that didn't even take it out. So my husband fired up the SteamVac and out it went! It has also made 2 cat throw up spots disappear. As for the dog dirty paw prints, those came out with no problem.

Everyone is correct

I read all the reviews, then went out and bought one. It was incredibly effective for stains I had tried to get out before, and the carpet simply looks new. The hand tools are effective as well, and the unit works much better than "heavy duty" units I had previously rented at Home Depot, etc.
I was going to have my carpet done professionally, but I bought this, saved over $100 compared to the professionals, and can do it whenever I need to.

Awesome Machine

on October 25, 2007

Posted by: JoJoHart

from New Orleans, LA

This machine is great! Very easy to assemble, and figure out how to use. With 3 kids and their spills, and a dog that, for over a year has been constantly using the bathroom (#1 & #2) on my carpet everywhere, there were so many stains it was utterly disgusting. Just short of ripping out all the carpet & replacing it, I found this machine on sale, after assembling & cleaning the carpet, in only about an hour and a half, I could not & still can not believe how clean my carpets got w/this machine. It looks like brand new carpet when they are really 7 yrs. old! It got out every stain! The bad stains I did have to go over more than once but otherwise it was one push/pull of the vac. I didn't even double the product solution that they recommend for heavily stained carpets. I saved a couple of thousand dollars thanks to this machine. The best part is I can continuously use this machine when I want at no charge, as opposed to renting one.

What's great about it: easy & quick

What's not so great: none!

Love this SteamVac

on January 22, 2008

Posted by: shopgirl24

Needed a steam vac to clean up after my toddler as the frequency of needing professional carpet cleaning was every couple of months. Bought this one based on the positive feedback, and the separate dirty water tank sold me. Put together within 15 minutes. Took out all stains and marks, and dried amazingly quick. It's easy to use and carpet came out very clean. Very happy with this purchase.

What's great about it: dual tanks, quick drying

What's not so great: only a 1 gallon tank

Great Product

on January 23, 2008

We had a Bissell steam cleaner for four years. It broke down and was too expensive to repair. I read many online reviews for the Hoover Steamvac With Clean Surge and was impressed. I bought the product at the BestBuy store in my city. The Hoover product was priced fairly and easy to put together (10 minutes and a phillips screwdriver). This steamvac took stains out of our carpet left by the previous owners. These stains could not be removed by a professional carpet cleaning business or by our old Bissell machine. My wife and I were both very impressed and happy with this purchase.

What's great about it: Easy to use and powerful
