I just received my Smart Wash. I've already cleaned carpeting and took to my 89- year old mother's house. Cleaned living room, dining room, den, 2 upstairs bedrooms and 14 stairs. I am so pleased with the results. And cleaning up after using it was quick and easy!
The SmartWash Automatic Carpet Cleaner was an excellent investment. The results were above and beyond what we expected. And the real beauty of this machine js its simplicity and ease of use.
I bought this model to replace an older Hoover spin scrub v-tunnel cleaner I have. Since my daughter constantly wants to use it and I have to beg her to bring it back, I am giving her the older one. The new SmartWash is very easy to use. No selecting between wash and rinse and the brushes make the carpet look really nice when done. The extraction feature is great and carpet dries in a very short time. The difference in the new model and the old one is slight. The old one has bigger tanks requiring less frequent filling/emptying. The new model doesn't "sling" soap and water beyond the cleaner head. Both have a long cord and both do a wonderful job. I've had the older model for about 15 years and it's still going strong; and it gets used! I hope this new one lasts as long (but it won't be traveling back and forth between two households!). Both models are excellent home cleaners. I haven't had to hire anyone or rent a cleaner in a very long time. It's nice to have a carpet cleaner at your convenience and that does a great job. I also recently purchased a vacuum to replace a 15 year old Kenmore model. That will be a separate review.
