I have had a hoover carpet cleaner for over 20 years, and I had two of the same kind. The last one over 10 years, but it was time for an upgrade. This is an amazing upgrade. It is lightweight, easy to use just like the other ones and really got the carpet clean! I am so glad I made this purchase. I know I will have it for years to come.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I received my hoover and already a part was busted before I was even able to assemble it. it does a good job cleaning but I find it to take more time then my last steam cleaner to get a stain out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointed

I bought this some time ago(1 year), and I have had to replace two parts already. Now the water tank leaks before it’s even powered on. Making this the third part that will need to be replaced within a year.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Between my adult children and me, we own three of these machines. They are fantastic. I recommend having one on hand at all times, especially if you have pets and children!

New and does not work

I purchased the cleaner back in September, but pulled it out the box last week and it does not work. After some research, I found this not uncommon for this model. Now I'm stuck with a cleaner I saved up for and does not work. I can't find my receipt.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Another Hoover winner

This awesome machine is an excellent example of superb engineering. Okay, It's not a space ship. But it would be worthy if needed. I've been in engineering for decades and the common sense design is so refreshing. Simple and Smart. So easy to use and clean.
I would recommend this to a friend!
