Advantages: Efficient cleaning, pretty easy to use.
Disadvantages: Messy clean up, bulky for storing.

...you clean. We used the Hoover cleaning solution the first few times but since then, we have found other cleaners that work just as well for a lot less. There are two tanks for keeping fresh and dirty fluids separate. It rinses and does floors as well as carpets. There are attachments for cleaning upholstery and a scrub brush I use for pre treating spots. A squeegee for floors. Edge cleaning too. There's a spinning brush on the unit that helps loosen ...
...dry enough to walk on within an hour. I usually go over it several times after the final rinse just to be sure it dries sufficiently. Easy to use. A little bulky and messy to clean up, but does a good cleaning job on the carpet. Somebody told me a trick that we tried the last time we cleaned; we pour the dirty solution into the cracks on the front walkway. It keeps the weeds away! We keep it stored in the shed out back. Out of sight, out of mind. ... Read review

Advantages: Owning a steam cleaner.
Disadvantages: Quality

...quality steam cleaners. I choose Hoover over Bissell but both are garbage. This product , I have had to replace 3 times in one year. The plastic containers leak and leave a mess wherever the machine has been. The quality of this product just isn't there. I called Hoover and complained and the representative told me to buy a cheap dirt devil ! Come to find out, Hoover owns Dirt Devil. I tried Dirt Devil and Bissell and even though Hoover isn't good ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Leaked

I do not--I repaet do not like this steam cleaner. I had it for about 6 months before it began to leak in the lower tank. About a month after that the upper tank lost the cork that helpd the water in it and so I had water everywhere. It did not do me any good to try and suck up the water because it would just leak out of the lower tank. The suction on the cleaner was not so great either. You would have to go over your job about 3 times before you ... Read review

Advantages: Great on harder to clean, older stains
Disadvantages: It doesn't seem to be crafted with much thought of durability

...day. I came along this Hoover and it wasn't too expensive. I paid 139 dollars for it. I didn't want to spend a fortune, so this was ideal. Upon taking it out and setting it up (which was simple), I went to work right away on a purple stain that had haunted my dreams for 2 months. At first, I was unhappy, as I didn't see and results. Then, I realized I forgot to add the cleaning solution (duh!) I put the solution in and bingo, within 10 minutes, the ... Read review

Advantages: it gets the job done
Disadvantages: its heavy

I literally have to use this cleaner every week due to high traffic areas in my house. I found that this product is actually pretty handy. Its a bit heavy bit I workout so its no big deal. I have found that it doesn't pick all the water neither and I have to keep all the windows open to dry my carpet and I have to make sure to not turn the cleaner off while it is still parked on the rug so that I do not have one of those water tracks. I have really ... Read review
