My new best friend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this machine more than I ever thought I could! I already have an upright carpet cleaner but the portable size and easily maneuverable nozzle on this have me deep cleaning coffee out of my car, juice out of upholstery, the only thing I'd wish for is a touch more suction to really really dry out those areas but it does work fabulously for my purposes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a longtime rug shampoo owner. I picked up my first one at a thrift store years ago, and have replaced it several times. I have always wanted a Spot Cleaner machine, but never could quite pull the plug. I was delighted to receive a CleanSlate XL to test out, getting to see if my wishes could be granted. I have two large dogs and our house has light carpet. I deep-clean the rugs twice a year and until we can get new flooring, that works. With dogs come messes. One of our dogs threw up in our bedroom twice. Before I could drag the big shampooer upstairs, I went into labor and did not return to the second floor for two months. I was greeted by nicely set-in dog vomit stains. In my postpartum haze, and in a limited window I didn't have the energy to carry up the full-sized shampooer. Awesome. Fortunately, I had the CleanSlate XL. It was easy to fill with water and cleaner. It was very easy to carry up the stairs, even full of water it wasn't off balance. The directions are attached if needed. Super easy to use. Simple, self-explanatory. I loved the fact that I did not have to unwind the entire length of the power cord to use the machine. Multiple attachments to choose from, but I was in a hurry and didn't get to use them all. Spots were cleaned up well, and the water was extracted to leave the carpet lightly damp, but nothing that would make me worry about mold or damage to the subfloor. I was curious, so I tested it out on some stains on the "dog couch". The tools worked well and could reach almost every curve. I look forward to testing this in my car in the future. My only complaint is that the tools don't store on the machine. They do have a very nice storage bag with a hanger, so they were in the closet and easy to find. I had forgotten that part, so I had to go back downstairs. I also feel that having the tools stored on the machine would make it bigger, so I see why this is the design. Just something to keep in mind, the tools need to be stored separately. Overall, I am super pleased with the Spot Cleaner, and I feel as if I will be using it quite often.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A good spot cleaner for big and small messes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hoover sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program, where I'm asked to try the product and review it. I've had some difficulty with that, as this is designed to clean up spills, which I've had very few of recently. I was able to try it on an old grease stain (that I don't think anything will get completely out), and it did get some of it out, so I was impressed. It has large capacity clean and dirty water tanks, so it's good for small and large messes. A variety of hose-end tools allow it to adapt to different sizes and surfaces. Some of the attachments appear to be designed for upholstery. As far as I can tell, you can keep the cleaning solution mixed in the tank so it's ready to go. The dirty water tank is easy to empty and clean out, too. The only downside is that it is a large unit, as the "XL" in the name would suggest. But like I said, it's good for large messes.

Great cleaner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cleaner did amazing in old stains from food drinks and pets. I had stains in the carpet since I bought my house last year and in a year with pets the stains accumulated. The carpet cleaner cleaned it up so easily! Very happy!

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me preface this review by saying that I have never used a portable spot cleaner like this. I have used both an upright home carpet cleaner and a rental carpet cleaner, but it's been at least 10 years since I've used either of those. Anyway, there were some stains on my son's carpet that had been there pretty much forever. There were several black/gray stains, a pinkish stain, and three yellow-orangey stains. The machine worked pretty well, removing most of the stains and making others much less visible. I liked the different shapes and materials for the brushes--I used every one of them for different situations. The machine was pretty easy to figure out how to use even though I only read the directions once, and that was a couple of weeks ago. It was also fairly easy to clean, and oh, was that dirty stain water disgusting, although I'm not sure it would be worth it to me to use it and clean it out for just one or two (or even 10) stains. I was unhappy about the amount of moisture left in the carpet, but as I said I haven't used this type of machine before, so maybe the moisture left is typical or even better than other similar machines. I liked that there are storage slips for both the hose and the power cord. I wish that there was onboard storage for the brush heads. One thing that I really did not like was that the handle doesn't lock open. Two separate times, I pressed down on the handle when it was in the up position, and it collapsed, pinching my fingers. That hurt! User error, yes, but also, why not make the handle lock into place?

Great Carpet Cleaner in a Small Package
on October 23, 2023
Posted by: Mike
from Sheboygan, WI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This carpet and upholstery cleaner works pretty good for being a smaller unit. I have a full size carpet cleaner for when I want to clean all of the carpets and this seems to work just as good for when I just need to touch up a spot or two or if I want to clean my chairs or car seats. It is easy to setup and use and the suction is pretty good too!
