Summary: GREAT INVESTMENT!
Comment: I was hesitant that this would be a worthwile purchase because hoover makes some pretty junky vacuums, however, after reading reviews decided to buy it! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I have had this cleaner for approximately 8 months and have used it several times already, and it is truly amazing for a few reasons.

1) It doesn't truly "steam" carpet - BUT if you put some boiling water in reservoir with detergent it does improve cleaning, but I have cleaned with regular hot tap water with good results too.
2) You will be disgusted, amazed, and pleased at how much dirt this thing gets out of your carpets. Secondly, it really fluffs it up with the 5 rotating brushes.
3) Works great on removing stains quickly (I have an almost 2 year old) so, juice, milk, throwup, you name it! etc. It cleans it out completely. Clean surge also helps.
4) In a couple of hours (or less) the carpet is really DRY!!!
5) Finished carpet "feels" clean. You can get down on it and you just know it is clean like a line dried towel.
I haven't tried it on upholstery or car but will eventually. I am sure that it will do an equally fantastic job!
It is really addicting to use. I have used it probably 4 or 5 times already, no problems. It is true that it will leak a little after you are done with it, but it can easily be wiped up. Can't really complain that much about it. Results are amazing! I hope it lasts a long time. It is definitely worth the money considering what it costs to have it professionally done and also cost of renting a machine (which doesn't do half the job).

Summary: Made in USA
Comment: Can you believe it - made in Canton, Ohio instead of China. I owned one of the $300 top of the line Hoovers purchased from a department store. Twice the upper clear acrylic tank had to be replaced - $55 a piece and then the bottom clear tank would not seal and the motor was going out according to the vacum shop mechanic. After reading many reviews of the top of the line models, I concluded that they are prone to break down and basically cheaply constructed. I asked the vacum store guy about it and he said that the expensive models in the department stores are made in China out of Chinese parts and he considered them junk. He recommended this basic model by Hoover which he claimed is rock solid, made of heavy duty parts in Canton, Ohio. The tanks are an opaque polymer which he said you can bounce on the floor and they won't leak. When I got it, the first thing I did was look at the label. Sure enough - "Made in the USA". Amazing. Cleans great. As far as the rinse feature on higher models, it means another tank and fittings and one more thing to go wrong. You control the exact amount of detergent being used - low tech but accurate and dependable. Since the directions said to let it dry before running a rinse I don't rinse anymore anyway.

Summary: great product WORKS GREAT
Comment: this is the best steam cleaner it really gets your carpets looking like new again and I was very surprised that it worked great on old stains as well. I love the attachments for the furniture as a pet owner the attachments and the cleaner work wonders. I especially like the turbo surge button this works for the high traffic areas and I have 2 dogs that like to roll around the carpet to itch there backs and these spots get dirter,so this feature works GREAT for cleaning the deep down areas, makes my carpet's look new again!This is also easy to use to fill the water and empty it too, I am VERY mechianically not smart but this is soooo easy to figure and and use it is a breeze! I LOVE MY cleaner.

Summary: A Great Deal
Comment: I read many reviews online and decided to go with Hoover instead of Bissell or other brands, and I am glad I did. My carpets looked like new after using the steamvac. Like everyone else says, it is amazing how much dirt and grime you actually have in your carpets. I haven't tried the clean surge yet, but I highly recommend this machine for basic cleaning of carpets. It sucks up an amazing amount of water, which means that your carpets will be dry in no time. Well worth the money!

Summary: great little machine! does an excellent job
Comment: After letting this sit in the box for several weeks (because of being intimidated by what I perceived as its complexity), I finally got so tired of the doggy pee smell in my house that I enlisted the aid of my 14-yr-old son to do all the technical stuff. Turns out he wasn't really needed. This is, as other reviewers have said and whose advice I should have heeded, a pretty straightforward machine. It's pretty hefty but assembles easily and works wonderfully. After painstakingly putting plastic under all my area rugs before shampooing, I discovered that it was really unnecessary because the wetting/suction process was so rapid that, although the rugs got amazingly clean, the water didn't have a chance to soak through, plus the drying process was surprisingly fast as well. Know in advance, though, that you will go through a LOT of tankfuls of water and a fair amount of cleaner in order to do a thorough job. If you have pets and/or lots of people tracking across your rugs, this is a highly recommended and worthwhile product to have, and likely will pay for itself after just a couple of uses.
