This Hoover SteamVac features a SpinScrub multiple brush system for outstanding cleaning performance. The translucent tank makes it easy to view water levels.

This steam vac sucks - literally
on December 27, 2010

Purpose for purchasing a steam vac - chocolate lab with jealousy issues with his 15mo old 'sister'.
I purchased this steam vac as a response to my dog 'christening' each new item we bought for our daughter. I continually clean up after him with hand scrubbing followed by the shop vac. It appeared to work well, but his misbehavior has gotten worse, thus the need for a proper cleaning system.
Initally, I researched a number of websites and narrowed the selection down to this Hoover steam vac and one made by Bissell. To my amazement, this steam vac had 1200 reviews on Amazon, 90% of whic h were 5 star ratings. I found the lowest price at Walmart and Best Buy agreed to price match. I paid $139 and spent $15 for a 4 year warranty. I also used a $15 Rewards coupon. I would highly recommend the warranty for something like this. After all, it's job is to clean up some filthy stuff, so 4 years of piece of mind is a bargain for $15. I plan to use this a lot and get my money's worth.
Pros - It just does the job of a professional. I spent $200 9 months ago for a professional to clean my carpets. After today, this steam vac has paid for itself (minus two hours of my time). Not only did it clean just as well as the pro, but the carpet has dried much faster. This steam vac has returned my carpets to their original state. I put my nose into the carpet and could not detect a foul smell, where 24hrs ago was tagged by my dog. Just amazing.
Cons - Nothing really, other than the instructions for converting it for use with the hand tool...it could be better or feature better diagrams. The hand tool works great.
Tip: To get the water super heated, I poured water in my coffee maker (minus the coffee, of course) and added that hot water to the clean water tank.
What's great about it: Overall performance - it does what you expect it to
What's not so great: Read directions carefully and repeadedly prior to first use
I would recommend this to a friend!

It probably came out of a pocket from a piece of clothing you were washing.
