I am the mother of five kids ,4boy & 1 girl,3 Yorkies, two cats and two hamsters. I needed a cleaner that could help me keep my home clean. I am a neat freak anyway and my home is only two yrs old so I did not think my floors were that dirty. OH my gosh….eeewwwwww YUCK! This machine is the best at getting the dirt out of the carpet. So easy to use REALLY! Your not filling the clean water tank every 2 seconds like I thought I would. And the suction is great too! The dirty tank has just about the amount that is missing from the clean tank.The only thing I would like to see improve is the suction with the hand tools.Overall I am very pleased,and I think you all will be too! Well worth the money and I have the feeling this one is going to last me for years.

Purchased this product after looking around and reading reviews here and elsewhere. I have to say this vacuum is a great buy. I have 3 dogs and the carpets in my home had not been steam cleaned in years so there were stains I was sure wouldn’t come out. I was wrong. This machine took them out with very little effort and it looks almost like new carpet. Putting the unit together was very easy and so was changing the water and cleaning after use. Went through about 64 oz of the pet carpet cleaning solution but tha was for about 1500 sq ft of carpet. Took me a couple of hourse and there was no leakage at all. If your looking for a carpet cleaner that is affordable and does the job, I can recommend this product.

We moved into a brand new home 8 months ago, along with us came our rotti, with a terrible problem with constant upset stomach and our St Bernard who still likes to pee on the carpet if we dont let her out exactly when she wants us to (and a dog that big drinks alot and hence…pees alot too. We used all sorts of pet stain removers which took out the odor after several treatments but i could still see the dark staining on the carpets in many areas in our doggie/rec room. I was already looking up professional cleaning companies in our area when I compared cost and realized i could own a steamer/cleaner for the price of one professional treatment to do our whole house. This hoover took about 15 minutes to put together (make sure you squeeze the triggers down til you hear a “click” to be sure you engaged the trigger mechanism). 4 Hours later and about 10 trips to dump the black water that came out of my carpets and I could not be more pleased. There was a spot in the corner of one room where our rottie threw up on atleast 15 times (i have spent hours on my hands and knees scrubbing this one square foot area trying to get the stain out)…i used the power surge button feature on this spot twice and spent about 1 minute on the area with the machine and the area lookes like brand new carpet. I nearly fainted when i saw what an amazing job this machine did. Easy to use, made our carpets look as good as the day we walked into this place 8 months ago (in 8 months two big dogs can drag an amazing amount of stuff in and leave it on your carpets). I would recommend this machine to anyone and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I was all set to buy a new Hoover Steam Vac with Dual V technology until I read all the negative comments here. So, I went to my local vacuum shop and talked to them. They also stopped carrying that particular model. They recommended one of the original models. I had already purchased 2 of those in the past and wore them both out. I was very disappointed that the new models were not reliable. So I purchased a new “old” model. This one has heated cleaning that my other 2 did not. Let me tell you it sure makes a difference. I was considering also buying a Bissell 2x with the 2 rows of beater bars as well as a Rug Doctor. The local vacuum shop carries those as well. A friend let me borrow her Bissell. I brought it home and cleaned 1 small room. I didnt like the results or the tank in a tank system they use. Just to be curious I pulled out my old Hoover and cleaned the carpet a second time. I was amazed at the dirt it picked up that the Bissell left behind. The carpet was also drier to the touch and looked noticably cleaner. Then I went and rented a Rug Doctor. It was heavy and awkard to use. It did pick up more dirt than the Hoover and Bissell, but it used about a gallon and half of water for a small 10 x 10 room and didnt suck nearly that much up. Again, I pulled out the old Hoover and it sucked up water the Rug Doctor left behind. So all told I went out and bought this model of Hoover. I really like it. The carpet is much drier and I know its much cleaner than when I used the Bissell. It does seem to dry the carpet faster than my old Hoover without the heater. The bucket is not as convenient as my old Hoover. The old one had a nice handle. This particular model does not. Hoover please take notice! Save yourself all this time and effort and dont buy the expensive Rug Doctor or the Bissell. This Hoover does an excellent job. I only rated it 4 stars due to the handle on the bucket. Other than that its perfect.

I searched and did a lot of research before buying this one. I am very impressed. I wanted a steam cleaner because I didnt want the water sitting in my carpet and padding, this one takes it out wonderfully. I wanted something with a long hose so I could do furniture and vehicles..this one has it. I also wanted seperate water containers.
I took someones suggestion when I got it and boiled a teapot of water and added that to my hot water..definitely worth the extra time. It took me only an hr to do my couches, cushions and living room floor. I did not use the soap that was included though because my carpet distributor has said that soap will attract the dirt, so I use a cleaner that wont soap up. By the time I finished my carpet, my couches were dry along with where I had started. Today I steam cleaned my childrens rooms. I had ink on one of their carpets that pros could not get out a yr ago. I moved the brushes back and forth and side to side and it came up! Im sure the cleaner has some help with that…but the more I moved the brushes, the more came out. As soon as I finished the bedrooms, my 2yo proceeded to throw up on them, so I just cleaned it right up with the steam cleaner..not a spot or smell left. I will be using this on their mattresses really soon. Need to get rid of the stains and dust mites in them.
This steam cleaner is very easy to use. Its easy to push. The only problem I do have with it is that the surge cleaner button is in an awkward spot..but its not a big deal, I dont use it that much. Even my husband had fun with it! Definitely a great investment for our house..which has 4 children…ages 2 through 8.
