What a piece of JUNK

I'd give it Zero stars if they would let me. The people who are giving this thing 5 stars either work for Hoover or clearly havent had it very long. The design hasn't changed in at least 5 years and the newly manufactured items suffer from the same basic design flaw as the older ones from 2005.

Here is what to expect when you buy this: Your first few uses will go awesomely well. I was amazed at how good of a job it did pulling the moisture from the carpet. Then, it happens.... the tabs that are used to lock the lid to the water reservoir will break.

It's not a matter of if, but when. YOURS will break too.

I must be clear here: I did not abuse these cleaners in any way. I was always very careful about how I treated them because just looking at the tabs you can see it's going to be fragile. Why Hoover's engineers can't design this correctly I have no idea... it's SUCH an obvious design flaw that could be fixed SO easily with a slight modification to the tab and thicker plastic (or aluminum). (I ended up using duct tape, then finally tossed this thing in the trash, where it belongs.)

If you enjoy wasting money on something because, like me, you think Hoover would only sell a quality product, purchase this cleaner.

But dont plan on purchasing a replacement water reservoir for when yours breaks. Those have been sold out for years and Hoover apparently isn't making new ones because I guess they think you will just buy another steamer.

I wouldn't even recommend this thing to an Enemy, let alone a friend.

What's great about it: It works great... about 7-10 times. Then breaks.

What's not so great: Buying it = Waste of Money

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Quality
