Summary: So Far So Good
Comment: After my Bissell repairman told me that I must have dropped my unit and broke some inner 'whatevers' (can't remember dropping it) I didn't know if I would buy another like what I had or something else, so came to this page and read the reviews. I ordered the Hoover 5200. Price was good at Amazon. Opened the box and found a loose nut at the bottom of the box, the bag of screws was open. The other nut ended up falling out of the unit. Thank goodness. 8-) It was easy to put together. One thing I had read in these reviews was the importance of listening for the loud snap when attaching the handle unit to the base. I never heard that sound. So I called Hoover for instruction and all I got was if I didn't hear the loud snap, send it back!! Customer service rated -1!!
I figured I would at least try it first before sending it back (I hate returning items.). It worked wonderfully! I heated water just under boiling as suggested in these reviews. It worked as well as the Bissell. I love seeing that dirty water getting sucked up into the tank! This Hoover is smaller than the Bissell,which is not a big deal for me, and I got the room done with one tankful of water.
Between these two brands, it is not how well it cleans or ease of use (both the same), it is how long will the machine last and how sturdy is the unit. This Hoover looks cheap but so far, so good. As mentioned before, I don't care how it looks, but does it work. I will update as I finish up the house. There is a two year warranty. If it lasts two years, and I use it often (4 cats) then it will be worth the cost. I bought the Hoover instead of another Bissell because the Amazon reviews rated the Hoover 4 1/2 stars vs Bissell, (which was less stars) and the warranty. These reviews are the way to go. We help each other out! We all just are looking for value, aren't we?? 8-)

Summary: Easy floor care
Comment: I love my new Hoover Steamvac. It is important to me that I can use it on bare floors as well as the carpet. Also, it takes up little space, so is easy to store. Also like the fact that everything is on board; nothing has to be stored separately. I haven't had it long enough to know how it will hold up, but right now, it is perfect.

Summary: My new best toy!
Comment: I found this carpet cleaner to be easy to use and a "work horse". I immediately started in our master bedroom, intending to do a room a day, but just kept going through the house! I even continued on over to an elderly neighbor's home! It removed an amazing amount of dirt. My only complaint is the frequent filling and emptying due to the size of the containers.

Summary: SAVES A LOT OF MONEY
Comment: I usually use very reputable cleaning companies and spend a fortune for them to clean the carpets, but the cost is rising...Time for a new plan! After reading many reviews I commited. I like the results for ordinary dirt. I should have bought the spot treatment though since you don't want to over saturate. I tried one on hand and it didn't get anything up. So consider getting a larger bottle of regular solution(the included bottle is 16 oz., enough for small 3 rooms) and a bottle of spot treatment.
Drying was surprisingly quick!
Rinse cleaner thoroughly when you're done so debris doesn't clog the tube as it dries. I ran it through with clean water in the tub.
It's really not too heavy or a struggle to run. Go slowly, like the directions say. I tended to rush like I was vacuuming.
A good investment!The only Hoover with 2 year warranty too, I believe.

Summary: Delivers performance, rugged, and reliable...
Comment: Got this model from Amazon Outlet. The product was easy to assemble requiring only a screw driver. Comes with trial size shampoo that will last through 2 cleaning sessions. You apply 5 oz of solution for a gallon of water. The tank is easily removable and the waste tank can easily be emptied. The proper technique as shown in the manual is applying solution as you push and solution as you pull the machine towards you. Then repeat the process without applying any more solution to dry the carpet. The carpet dried in about 45 minutes after cleaning with a fluffy feel to it. It wasn't a perfect clean but since I haven't cleaned the carpet in years, it should improve after repeated use. Very happy with the purchase. Gave item 4 stars for late delivery by DHL, the outlet's carrier. Poor service, delivering the item in it's own box, shampoo solution uncapped. If not for the tamper foil it would have ruined the machine. The box arrived opened and DHL did not take responsibility for non delivery that should have been Express overnight. The machine arrived in good conditon despite this.
