I love that the machine is very easy to maneuver. However, there's no option to only have the machine disperse water or nothing at all when its pushed forward. So you have to fill the compartment with only water. I did find that I had to empty the compartments more frequently than I had to w/my prior Hoover.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi MsCleanFreak, thank you for reviewing the Hoover SmartWash+ Automatic Carpet Cleaner. For best results, we recommend rinsing the carpet with clean water only. This will remove residual carpet cleaning solution from your carpets. To Rinse with clean water only, remove the Solution Tank and then slowly move forward. The unit will automatically dispense the optimal amount of water. Slowly pull backward. The unit will automatically dry your carpets by extracting the water. When your cleaning is complete and you want to reduce the dry time, press the Dry Only button. The Dry Only mode will extract remaining water from your carpet. Continue in this mode until little water is visibly passing through the nozzle. We hope this helps! Thanks, Cierra -The Hoover Team
This is my first home carpet cleaner ever and it did a great job cleaning my carpet. Easy to use and I'm not young. this will save me a lot of money from paying the professionals.
