The Hoover gave poor performance cleaning my old berber carpet. It cleans the upper surface but doesn't get the dirt out on the lower surfaces of the carpet. Even after many runs, there remains significant and visible dirt on the lower (canyon) surfaces of the carpet. Where before the dirty carpet had an even dirt grey color, now the top surfaces is cleaner but much of the dirt remains in the lower zig zag channels of the berber carpet. The view is not pleasant.....lots of dirt grey zig zag trails throughout the carpet.
I discovered that the spin scrub brushes are free floating and do not exert any pressure on the carpet. Thats probably why it doesn't get out the ingrained dirt lower down from the carpet surface.
What's great about it: Stair tool
What's not so great: Frequent changing tanks, doesn't clean berber carpet well
