Editorial Review

This powerful home steam vacuum saves you the expense and hassle of having to rent a steam cleaner and keeps rugs, upholstery, and bare floors (other than hardwoods) looking like new. The powerful 12-amp motor combined with five spinning brushes that operate at either high or low speed lift the usual dirt and grime out of carpets. By pulling on the trigger in the comfortable upright handle, this deep cleaner releases the included carpet/upholstery cleaner and hot tap water. For more stubborn stains or for high-traffic areas, this SteamVac also has a Clean Surge feature, which sends an extra blast of cleaning solution into the stain by simply pressing a button on the handle. When cleaning is complete, release the trigger and the SteamVac forces hot air into the cleaning path so you can do a few dry strokes over the stain. This deep cleaner has two separate water tanks to keep clean water apart from dirty water. The top tank holds the detergent and 1 gallon of hot water and automatically mixes the two so you don’t need to get your hands wet. The lower tank holds the dirty solution picked up from the carpet and unlatches to easily pour out into a sink without spilling.

For cleaning stairs or upholstery, this deep cleaner has a long 8-foot hose and a special stair/upholstery nozzle that scrubs out spots. Other attachments include a bare floor nozzle and a powered hand tool that is also ideal for upholstery or small carpet areas. All tools are mounted on the front of the vac in a handy case. Other features of this deep cleaner include a brush indicator, which informs you that the brushes are spinning; an on/off foot pedal; a handle release pedal; and a 27-inch wraparound cord. The Hoover SteamVac is covered by a full one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Summary:	Worked Great for me. Good Price
Comment:	This machine works great for me. I only plan on using it a few times a year, so I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a machine. I am sure there are better machines out there, but for quite a bit more money. I felt like it did a really good job getting the carpets clean and fresh in our house. I did use the recommend Hoover brand soap with it. I really like the fact that there are two seperate tanks for clean and dirty water. It makes it really easy to clean the dirt and grime out of the dirty section. I have used the machine a few times already and have not had any problems with clogging. I recommend setting the machine on a hard floor or a towel when you are first finished with it. It tends to drip out a bit of water when sitting for a while.

Summary:	Easy to use and gets the job done.
Comment:	I purchased this product a while ago and it has never let me down! It is so easy to use! All you need to do is fill up the tank with water and solution, pop it back in and start using it. It obviously picks up a lot of dirt, just by looking at the reserved tank. Not only does it clean very well, it dries the rug so much better than I thought it would. You can literally walk on the rug again within an hour. This is a must have...I don't know how I lived with a family and dogs without one for so long!

Summary:	In love with it
Comment:	The important factor in comparing this Hoover Steam Vac with other carpet cleaners is its suction power. Don't pay less for one that won't pick up the water. This exceeded my expectations on my stain guarded carpet. Coffee stains, kool-aid, baby formula, dirt, etc all came up with this steam vac. Note: my carpet has stain repellents as most good quality newer carpets do. I used this on my old carpet, too. I was just as impressed! I actually bought a scrub brush in anticipation of scrubbing stubborn stains from my carpet. That brush is still brand new! The suction power is awesome. My carpet was nearly dry only two hours later. I'm keeping this baby in good care. I plan to use it alot.

Comment:	Great steam cleaner, a great thing to have with a toddler and a dog in the same house! Works great, gets the dirt out! Easy to use. Just wish it were a little less awkward to clean out when you're through...
