We bought the Hoover to replace a Bissell 2X that broke. The Hoover does a better job on carpets removing some stains the other cleaners we have had and the pro carpet cleaning services that have tried never touched. We vacuumed first then used the Hoover. It handed the hair of two Golden Retrievers with no problems and no clogging. The accessory spinning brush head for stars and upholstery is far superior with the Hoover giving a pro level clean on the sofa. The brush did not bog down even under pressure. I found if you use the spinning brush than quick snap change it out for the regular tool head for vacuuming the solution and water out gave the best results. But best of all - the ease of use and cleaning the Hoover is as good as it gets with its easy to load and empty solution and dirty water bins along with the snap out carpet brushes. We are following the suggestion we found on line to run a water and vinegar mix through the unit after use and before storing. We did that with the Bissel as well and it still clogged at the heater. That does not seem to be a problem with the Hoover.
What's great about it: Easy to use, great performance, and very easy to clean.

well we used the Hoover before and after the 50 + people Thanksgiving dinner with excellent results - now I have also used it to clean the interior in a work truck I just got - a 2008 GMC cloth interior extra cab that had been used by a heavy smoker who had not cleaned the interior since he got it -
