from maryland

It is kind of heavy but most use it downstairs, the water pick up tank a little small, always needs emptying. However after ten months the broushes will not spin, unless they are off the floor and there is no suction. If I can find the recept, it is back to the store or whatevfer, if not, there is a Hoover in my future!

What's great about it: when it worked, it workd

What's not so great: after ten moths, no suction, brushes wont spin on the rug....

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It is great for the price. No need to spend a fortune on a better one when this one gets the job done.

What's great about it: Cleans

What's not so great: Cord should be longer

I would recommend this to a friend!

Never again

on October 25, 2008

Posted by: ksangel

from Seneca, Ks

This is the 3rd one of the same model I have had to replace in the last year and a half. The product works great and then out of the clear blue the brushes quit working. I was not asked to buy the extended warrenty and on the 32nd day it quit. All 3 models were exactly the same type and all 3 quit the same way. I had one of the models from 1998 and it still works and my son has it. But all the new models have an early demise.

What's great about it: Before it quits, it works great

What's not so great: brushes quit spinning

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hoover SteamVac

on January 10, 2010

Posted by: texasshopgirl

from denton, texas

I was disappointed in that I was looking for a carpet cleaner that provides a deep cleaning with steam, and this was not what I had in mind. This cleans your carpets with hot tap water and not a "steam" feature.

What's great about it: Nothing

What's not so great: It says "steamvac" but it does not "Steam". It merely uses the hot water you put in it from your tap.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not the Right Fit for My Carpet

on September 28, 2011

Posted by: JimMfromMD

from Maryland

I must preface this with the fact that I have a thick, dense pile carpet. I purchased the cleaner to spot treat my carpet. It is a new carpet (three months old) and is guaranteed against stains for 25 years.

I was very impressed with the amount of water is was able to extract. The carpet was fairly dry immediately after the cleaning.

The water did not heat up and it was nowhere near steam temperature - not really sure why they label it a steam cleaner - but I used the hottest water I could from the faucet. The carpet manufacturer recommended the use of water only - no soap. So that is what I did. It did not lift the stains out (cat urine). I don't think it really had the power to inject the water all the way down to the bottom of the carpet.

Overall, I am disappointed with the cleaner. I think if it is used to extract liquids right after a spill, it might to a fairly good job. Other than that, it just isn't powerful enough or hot enough to do the job correctly.

I didn't downgrade it any further because my carpet can be tough to clean because of the density and length of fibers. It wasn't easy for the professional cleaners to get the stains out either.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worked great......Once

on January 9, 2012

Posted by: magicbananas

used this once on the carpet - did a fabulous job. Then I used on the hard floors - - - would NOT recommend for this!! Doesnt work well on hard floors, leaves a ton of water. Went to use again on carpets (this was all within 1 month time) and it didnt work. The brushes weren't spinning, so it wasnt cleaning at all. Looked at the scrub brushes & noticed that all of the brushes are powered by one middle brush.....and that one brush had snapped off of the small piece that makes it rotate. So, all in all, I was very disappointed - thought it was great after the first carpet clean, but once I discovered how it was all dependent on the one brush to power the entire set of brushes & that broke.....I couldnt justify getting it repaired or replaced since it broke so fast. :(

What's great about it: worked great the first time

What's not so great: broke within a month (carpet & floor cleaned once)

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
