I have been looking for a steam cleaner for a few months. I originally wanted a $300 Bissell, but was waiting for a good sale. I saw this cleaner in the Best Buy ad and went online to read the reviews - the positive reviews and the top ranking on Amazon along with the affordable price all convinced me to make this purchase. I have a dog and 2 cats and have a very light carpet that had old dog accident stains, some grease stains, and one green stain where one pet was sick. This steam cleaner took out all of these old stains with ease and some stains were 2 years old. I thought the stains were bad enough that I took the directions tip to use double the cleaner for tough stains and everything came out. I mixed the deep cleaner that came with the steamer and the pet cleaner. I couldn't believe how good these stains came out - my carpet looks brand new. I did have to empty the dirty water tank a few times and refill the water tank 3 times, but I had some bad stains to remove so it was understandable. I used the tip of 2 wet strokes and 2 dry strokes and my carpets were dry enough to walk on shortly after. I would recommend this purchase - it works wonderful for a great price.

What's great about it: Easy to assemble and lifts stains with ease

What's not so great: Small water tank

I would recommend this to a friend!

bought this after old hoover lost suction power. This cleaner has great power and made my carpets softer and brighter. Even good on stains. The only downfall was the stair tools hard to use sprays water everywere

What's great about it: great suction

What's not so great: stair tools

I would recommend this to a friend!

WoW How impressed I am

on January 25, 2008

WoW!!! How Impressed I am with the cleaning ability of this machne. I searched, and researched lots of reviews for steam cleaners, this one sure fit the needs I have, as well as my pocket. I am very happy with the performance of this item, as well as the quality and price. I have 1 dog and 5 cats in the house and have been searching for steam cleaners to do my carpets, this one is guaranteed to give you 100% satisfaction. A must have for any animal owner. Also works on bare floors, as well as stairs, and upholstery. The dirt that came out of my carpets was incredible...who knew it was their, didn't appear to be. Kind of ashamed on one hand, and overjoyed on the other to know it's out of the carpet. You will not be disappointed with this machine. Get it, don't look any further. Also the quality seems to be really well built, not like some of the other ones, where the reviews say they broke right away. Good Luck!!!

What's great about it: Light, easy to use, excellent cleaning ability!

What's not so great: The on board hose attachment does not stay in place while being stored on back unit, not in use, but using steam cleaner

I would recommend this to a friend!

Buy This One!!

on January 27, 2008

Just purchased this cleaner and used it for the first time last night. It does a great job. This one is replacing another Hoover that we have had and used for over 14 years. Yes, thats right, 14 years. The old one is still going strong except for the fact that the trigger stopped working. I figured the trigger would cost as much as buying this new one. We looked at the Bissell (which cost more than double this one) and decided to stay with the Hoover. We also looked at the Hoover All Terrain but decided against it. (Built cheap, so was the Bissell). Too many plastic parts to break on the Bissell and the Hoover All Terrain. I tell you that our previous Hoover has paid for itself over and over again. No complaints whatsoever. I hope this one holds up as well. You really cant go wrong with this model.

What's great about it: Great Value For The Money

What's not so great: None

I would recommend this to a friend!

Works Well!

Cleaned white carpet that had not been cleaned for over 5 years and this cleaner made it look like new! You must do the baseboards by hand as the brushes do not go up against the wall, nor does the hand brush...but this machine does the job! No complaints!

What's great about it: Does the Job, Easy to Use, Easy to Put Together

What's not so great: Brushes do not go right up against the wall.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great steamcleaner!

on February 10, 2008

Posted by: mom2chase

from St. Louis, MO

I just bought this the other night to clean my carpets for my moms 50th birthday party. I have white carpet throughout my condo (1300sq ft) and with a cat, dog & kid they were getting pretty trashed. This steam cleaner got up all kinds of gunk...I was surprised at how well it worked! Of course I realized as I was cleaning up the last tank that I never put enough solution in b/c the directions said a capful...and I was thinking a cap of the solution bottle...I didnt realize they meant the cap for the tank. So Im sure it would have done even better on a few of the stubborn stains I still have...but going over them a 2nd time with enough solution will probably get them up. To clean the living room, dining room & hallway I probably had to empty & refill the tanks about 3 times...but my carpets were in pretty bad shape...and for the most part the carpet was dry by morning (i did it late in the evening). People that had seen my carpet prior to them being cleaned were very impressed last night when they were here for the party. I highly recommend this steamcleaner! (now I just need to get a Dyson vacuum!)

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great cleaning machine

on February 10, 2008

Posted by: kgmn

from Plymouth, MN

This machine is lighter than the previous hoover steam vac that I had. I had to replace my old one because I didn't bring it with me when I moved. It does a great job especially if you use the power surge, the srub brushes really penetrate into the carpet fibers. Definetly a buy!!!

What's great about it: Lightweight, easy to use,

What's not so great: none

First time and loved this machine

on March 2, 2008

Posted by: Jarrett1978

from Raleigh, NC

This was my first time ever assembling and using a steam cleaner and I love it. This machine actually made the job fun. I have a 1198 sq ft apartment and only had to use one bottle of the cleaner. My carpet smells and looks new again. I have a cat and a dog and hair is always a problem , however, with this machine one cleaning really brought my carpet back to life. The instructions are great for those of us that are mechanically challenged.

What's great about it: Great for pets

I would recommend this to a friend!
