Bought this to replace another brand that was constantly breaking. Unit is perfect for general use and a excellent spot cleaner. Would not use for deep cleaning not enough power or time to make it work. 5 stars on ease of use and clean up afterwards good buy.
Just bought this carpet cleaner. Used it for a few rooms. So far I am very impressed! It's so easy to use & very lightweight compared to my old Bissell.
Bought this after my previous carpet cleaner had turned into an incontinent mess maker. Initially impressed w how well this unit cleaned. Turned to disappointment after 5th use. Puddle surrounded the unit when I was done. Initially thought maybe dog had tipped over a water bowl. But, after using today, another puddle w no dog bowl in the area. Trying to figure out how to return it, because not willing to put up w a new "leaker"
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

HI CMO1, thank you for reviewing the Hoover SmartWash Automatic Carpet Cleaner. To reduce leaking after using your carpet cleaner we recommend that after you are done cleaning, put your unit in the upright position and wait about 5 seconds before turning your unit off. This will allow the water you were just sucking up to finish traveling to your dirty water tank and properly store in there - in turn reducing any leaking! To avoid damage to wood and laminate flooring and to avoid potential slip hazard, after use do not leave the product on wood or laminate surfaces and move to a hard surface and place the unit on an absorbent material (such as a towel) to soak up drips. For additional troubleshooting, please email us at HooverCommunity@ttifloorcare.com with a reference to review number 217536328. Thanks, Hayley - Hoover Team
