Purchased about a month ago. I adopted a 2 year old dog that is t quite house trained yet. She's busted a gut in a few places. My carpet is old, 20+ years, and will be replaced after my dog is fully trained. In the meantime, the Hoover does a great job. The carpet will never look new but it looks a lot better than it did before. I replaced a super old Bissell. I do think the solution is a little too foamy. I do wish that you could "wash" first with out the reverse suction. The "dry only" is nice. Now if they just had a "wash only".
Works great u can see all the dirt and what ever maybe in ur carpet. Cleaned my high traffic and pet accidents. Was considering replacing carpet until I got this SmartWash. High recommended compact size and no diluting or mixing it dies it all for u. Fill and use!!
So far so good. We bought this cleaner last year and it seems to do a good job. It takes for ever to rinseout the detergent. I'm wondering if I actually do need to dilute the solution since it is a concentrated formula. I can find anything in the manual about that matter.
I would recommend this to a friend!
Response from HooverBy hooverpwr, hooverpwr, April 21, 2022
Thank you for rating the Hoover SmartWash Automatic Carpet Cleaner 5 stars! The Auto Mix feature precisely mixes and dispenses solution for optimal carpet washing. Fill the Solution Tank with Hoover® Cleaning Solution to the top of the tank (do not add water). For best results, rinse 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 continue pushing forward to clean and pulling back to dry the carpet. Thanks, Allison-Hoover Team.
I oredered this carpet cleaner and used it the day I received it! It was so simple to assemble and very easy to use. And it showed just how much my vacuum cleaner is leaving behind. While it is a wonderful cleaner it is also quick and easy to clean! With 3 cats and 2 dogs this left my carpet and rugs clean and fluffy. Love it!
