I have fix this machine multiple times to just get the back roller to work. The vibration of the machine tears the back roller out of place and rubs against the machine itself.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have not had this machine over 3 months and it's already broke. Hoping it's just the belt but of course the manual doesn't provide proper directions to get to the belt to check or replace. Worst marching I ever bought. Waste of money! Wish I could return it and be done with it!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I just bought the Hoover SmartWash carpet cleaner and I absolutely love it! I am a 71 year-old widow and found it easy to handle and follow instructions. However, the machine is labelled so nicely it was easy to see how to use, attach, remove, replace and clean all the parts. My house has all wall-to-wall carpeting throughout 5 big rooms as well as two large area rugs and I found it so easy to clean them all! The hardest part was moving the furniture by myself! They recommend not going over any area more than 4 times as it might get too wet (follow their 'tips'). I found washing (forward movement) and drying (pulling back) a section at a time once was enough to clean my carpets, although I did go over a few areas twice. No need to go over any area many times. I could not believe the dirty water tank! Yuck! But it gave me instant satisfaction that my carpets were getting cleaned. For optimum performance, I found emptying the dirty water tank frequently, before it got too full, worked the best. And I love the "only dry" feature! Using this will considerably cut drying time! I found I could walk on my carpets within a few hours and even less when I used a fan! I've had my carpets professionally cleaned before but my dog had an allergic reaction to their solution. Not with the SmartWash Free and Clean product though! No chemical smell and no reaction! Yay! I also rinsed all my carpets after washing them one section at a time, which is recommended to remove any solution residue. A bit more work but worth it! Hoover, you have made a brilliant machine! More than just "smart"! I just love my clean carpets! I can't say enough about this fabulous product except..Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!! A super happy customer!!!
I bought this two weeks ago. I did so knowing I would probably send it back. But I was very wrong. I used it in two very bad places with lots of foot traffic. And one with a stain I couldn't get out. All places are just like new. Love the dry only to help it dry faster. Be sure to rinse after the wash. You will love that. I have always done that on my own because it make sense to take out the extra soap. It does a good job doing that. In short, I LOVE lt.
