from Jackson, MI

This is my second Hoover SteamVac. The first one needed repairs after 9 years, and replacing was a better option. I like the simplicity of this machine. Easy to use, like a vacuum. My floors are cleaner because I am not intimidated to use it anytime. If the kids spill something, it is there to take it up quickly. This model requires attaching the hand tools, and isn't as easy to use as the previous model, but after giving it a try, it seems more effective and worth the extra effort. I like the scrubbing brushes for carpet and scrubbing hand tool. Emptying the tank isn't as quick, or I haven't mastered it yet. Takes two hands now to unattach the dirty tank and even laying down the handle horizontal, but I would recommnend this machine overall. I waited for a sale to purchase.

What's great about it: I appreicate the scrubbing brushes, hand tools.

What's not so great: Emptying tank isn't quick action on new model, and cord is shorter

I would recommend this to a friend!

New Puppy Savior

on October 14, 2008

Posted by: OzarkLady

from Missouri

I purchased while on sale and use it every few days since we have a new puppy being house trained. It picks up the accident and I can even use dog cleaning products which contain enzymes to remove any odors. I ruined my Bissel using the dog cleaning product so I put the product directly on carpet after sucking up the accident and so far have no problems doing it this way. Then after using that product, I clean the carpet using the hoover solution. I actually like this cleaner better than my much more expensive Bissel as this weighs less so I tend to use it more often. It really seems to suck up the dirt. I wish the scrubbers were a little harder but then that might damage some types of carpet.

What's great about it: Features for Price

What's not so great: none

Did lots of research through different stores and always came up with positive reports on this product! Works great..my beige carpet has teenage boys, dog and a husband who hangs in the garage all over it...not anymore...carpets look great...Wish I would of bought this before spending $600+ on getting carpets cleaned in the past....

What's great about it: Affordable, convenient, and works great!!

OUTSTANDING

I read all the reviews here and made the decision to go out and buy one of these. I went right out to the store and purchased one thinking "oh sure, the people who wrote those reviews must have gotten something in return for writing them". Well, I was wrong, they are right on the money with this steam cleaner. It is better than ones I have rented in the past. It is so easy to use I can't believe it. If you are thinking of getting a carpet steam cleaner, I highly recommend this one. There is one other model that costs more that heats the water. Some say this is best to kill bacteria. I don't agree. If you use the recommended cleaning products, you get the same results. It is a great machine !!

What's great about it: Easy to uses

What's not so great: Uses hot water and doesn't heat or make steam.

I would recommend this to a friend!

best purchase ever

on October 18, 2008

Posted by: sttasa

oh my gosh i love this thing. i rented one of those one's from the store....cost me $62 and was a horrible experience not to mention i had to return it in 24 hours. this one i can use to clean up everytime my puppy goes since we're training him and especially since he scatters. we have beige carpets and they look like new. the carpets dry in like two minutes too which is awesome. it's easy assemble...really not a bad price, and very easy to push(which the grocery store rental really gets your muscles going). two of my friends have used it and they love it too.

I would recommend this to a friend!

This vac was beyond my expectations. it did a great job. the price was very very reasonable. it removed a wine stain from the carpet that had been there for years. everyone should have one for that unexpected spill or mess.

What's great about it: price

What's not so great: none

Skeptical, but convinced!

I was going to have to pay a professional cleaner about $230 to do only two rooms and the stairs. For just under $200 I figured I could buy this and a bottle of cleaner and use it over and over again whenever I needed it.
I read the reviews and every one was very positive.
After I did my carpets, I was disappointed because I could still see the high traffic areas. However, once the carpet was dry it looked great! I have light beige carpet and they look as good now as the day we moved in.
The macine is easy to use and works great!

What's great about it: Easy to use, good performance

What's not so great: None

LOVE THIS MACHINE!!!

on November 14, 2008

Posted by: Alegna

from Roscoe, IL

I reseached for a week trying to find the best cleaner for my $. I spotted this one and the reviews were great, so instead of paying a lot to have the carpets cleaned really good prefessionally only once, I opted to purchase this machine so I could clean the carpets whenever I needed to. I found one at my local Best Buy, but the box had been opened and it was marked down to $155. I inquired why it had been opened and if it was returned. They said it was returned, but it had never been used. After bargaining I was able to get the machine for $125 and they threw in 2 bottles of soap. I was skeptical, but they assured me I would get a full refund if I found anything wrong and took it back within 30 days. I got it home last night and I have already done the main hallways. Let's just say GROSS!! I have 2 kids and 2 pets, one of which is a puppy. I am so seriously impressed with the machine! I used the tip from a previous review about adding some fabric softner when rinsing, and WOW do my carpets look GREAT and smell even better! It's also great to see that if you cleaned the carpet welll enough, you shouldnt get back any dirty water when rinsing. I havent yet! You will not regret this purchase! 5 stars to Best Buy for giving me a GREAT deal!

What's great about it: The attachments work just as well as the machine itself!

What's not so great: Nothing

I would recommend this to a friend!
