Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner Machine, Upright Shampooer, FH50150V, Red

I couldnt get the water to come out of the 1st one. I returned it and ordered again given the reviews. Much better. I only wish the cord was about 2 feet longer but it is by no means short.

I have had this for several years now, and just got around to reviewing it. But I guess that is even better, because he will know that it is reliable. It works nicely, and I have been able to get stains out of my carpet very well. The worst one was an ink stain When I was doing calligraphy. I accidentally poured the entire bottle of black ink onto my cream colored carpet. I could not get everything out, but there is only a slate gray shadow in the carpet. It helps so much. It really does make the carpet look a lot better. I actually use thieves cleaner in it as the carpet shampoo. It worked very nicely. About a year after getting this machine, the seal Around the dirty water collector broke. I still use it although that is broken. It still works. OK, but I wish that that was a little sturdier. That has been the only problem.

I am missing the solution cap

Wow! I had read the reviews, but I still wasnt prepared for how amazing this machine is! We had some horrible stains that we assumed could had been grease dragged in by our mechanic son. We tried different sprays and couldnt get the stains out. My son used this carpet cleaner, and after he went over the stains a few times, they disappeared. I wish I had before photos to show you how great it is. The dirty water also blew me away after he cleaned the room. I had no idea how bad the carpet was, even though its vacuumed at least once a week. The water was full of dirt and cat hair. This machine is worth every penny. I plan to talk my son into cleaning every room in the house now! Highly recommend!!

Ive used a handful of home carpet shampooers and a professional one rented from the grocery store and this one is by far my favorite. WEIGHT This is the lightest shampooer Ive used which makes pushing it around the whole house a breeze and much easier on my hands and back. Very easy to maneuver. WATER TANK The water tank holds about a gallon of water plus cleaning solution which is not a lot so Im frequently emptying and refilling the tanks, but this helps to keep the weight down so I dont have a problem with it. I really appreciate that when emptying the dirty tank you can choose to pour the dirty water out through a spout instead of taking the whole lid off. I didnt know how much I would like this feature until I tried it! No splashing mucky water everywhere! Both the water and solution entry areas are easily accessible. CLEANING POWER I have two boys who have an amazing ability to get everything dirty and a cat who likes to barf on the floor. My carpets are very old and get REALLY dirty. Its also been a long time since Ive had access to a carpet shampooer. Pictured is a high traffic area with some bonus cat barf on it and after one pass through it was so much cleaner! I have used a shampooer that did a little better cleaning on the first pass, but it was heavy, leaked, it was hard to clean, left the floors too wet, etc. For super dirty areas I go over the carpet twice and Im very happy with the results. It also left the carpet so fluffy. After going over the carpet 2-4 times on dry mode (not spraying water) the carpets were almost dry, which is a huge plus. I cant keep people/pets off the carpets for long around here so this is great. ATTACHMENTS It comes with a hose, an upholstery attachment, a stair attachment, an edge cleaner and an attachment with a spinning brush. The hose is super simple to attach to the machine. Ive seen some reviewers that didnt like the spinning brush attachment, but I love it. The first stair in my house is where everyone sits to put on and take off their shoes so it gets really dirty and the spinning brush scrubbed that sucker so clean. CLEANING THE VACUUM Anything on here that touches dirty water is amazingly easy to remove and clean! The brushes pull right off, the part on the front that sucks the water up lifts off easily after lifting a lever, which in turns exposes the filter, and the dirty tank opens all the way to get it clean. No hidden hoses or tight areas. This is huge for me. I have used a shampooer that was nearly impossible to clean and half my time was spent cleaning the carpet where the shampooer made it DIRTIER. Or trying to reach in with tweezers to get out a clump of cat fur that was stopping up the machine. Ugh. Because its so easy to clean I am much more likely to clean it after using it, which will extend the life of the shampooer. This is a big deal and this machine excels in this area. I wish my regular vacuum was this easy to clean! POWER CORD Its pretty short. Prepare to either use an extension cord or regularly plug it into a closer outlet as you move around. Either solution is not a big deal. NOISE Naturally, its a little loud. But not as loud as most of the ones Ive used - the one from the grocery store was so screaming loud I had to use ear plugs because my ears hurt after just a couple minutes. When I use it I pop in some ear plugs and listen to a podcast and everything is fine. TL;DR Buy this machine. Its lightweight, a joy to use and so easy to clean. Its easy to assemble out of the box (just two screws in the handle) and works well. Highly recommended. Seriously, stop looking and just get it. Your carpets and your back will thank you.

Simply love it. Really cleaned the carpets well. Took away those lingering smells from pets.

I rarely write reviews though I always read reviews before making a purchase. So I am going to try to be more diligent about writing them. With so many available options it gets really confusing choosing among them. After hours of research and comparison, I chose this Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Washer. Very glad I did. Like our very small cottage, our berber carpet is 23 years old and has seen lots of wear even though only the stairs, bedroom and bunkroom are carpeted. We built the cottage on our small working farm as a retreat from our hectic town life 20 minutes away. Over the years we have let friends, family members, and friends of family members use it when we were not going to be there. A lot of them seemed not to understand the dual-purpose of welcome mats. Or that shoes are not permanently affixed to the feet and can be removed. Also, we have always had dogs and cats and, naturally, as they age the likelihood of accidents increases. We are now retired and the cottage is now our permanent residence and the pale blue berber carpet is definitely an issue. Despite daily vacuuming and diligent spot cleaning with a little Bissell Mean Green, it was so stained that I do not want to describe it to you. It has been a decade since the last time it was professionally cleaned. We considered replacing the carpet but did not want to have hard flooring in our bedrooms, could not find any carpet we liked and also realized that with 2 older people, 4 older dogs, and 2 young cats in permanent residence and assorted grandchildren visiting, carpet cleaning would frequently be needed anyway. So, the Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Washer arrived, my grandson easily assembled it ready for use. I did pretreat the worst of the stains with Hoover Platinum Collection Professional Strength Instant Stain Remover spray which I keep on hand and have used many times before and still had the stains, but thought it couldnt hurt, so why not? I used the hottest tap water and emptied the dirty water tank so many times I lost count. It took 4 or 5 hours to clean the small carpeted areas because even when the carpet looked clean on the surface, I wanted to make sure it was as clean as possible before I collapsed from exhaustion. Having the choice to switch between wash and rinse settings was a tremendous help as the cleaning solution and clean water are separated and only mix when you want them to. I alternated between wash and rinse repeatedly and then ended with rinse as suggested in the operating manual. The carpet does not look brand new but it does look and smell clean, really clean! I am amazed! There are still a few faint stains but think they may be helped when cleaned again. So convenient to have the cleaner on hand to use whenever needed. It is very easy to take apart the parts that need to be cleaned after use. I would let them dry completely before putting them back together. The cleaning solution worked great but you will need more than the 16oz bottle that comes with the machine. Amazons subscribe and save feature lowers the cost of the solution and you decide how often you want them to send a bottle. I use the subscribe and save a lot. It is convenient to have exactly what you need delivered to your door exactly when you need it. I am older and have MS so the Carpet Washer is a little on the heavy side and I had a bit of difficulty getting it up the stairs empty so I would not attempt to carry it up the stairs with water in it. It does have 2 carry handles which made it easier to carry. This may not be an issue for most people. I did collapse before I was able to do the stairs so I cannot yet say whether those particular attachments work as well as the upright machine itself. I will try to update this review when I do the stairs. I will also need to use the attachments to clean the perimeter of the rooms as there is a 1-2 line around the carpet that the upright could not reach.

There’s only a few reviews specifically about shag rugs so I wanted to add mine for anyone curious! I bought a used shag rug off of marketplace (I know! The horror!). I’ve always wanted a luxuriously plush shaggy rug, but was worried about the upkeep. I decided to buy one used, and cheap, before committing. I got this rug and vacuumed the heck out of it. It took 4 vacuum sessions, and a few shake outs to get all of the junk out of the deep fibers. Then I went to town with the shampooer. I have owned the power dash pet cleaner as well, and this one has less suction power in my opinion. The bristles also seem gentler and not as vigorous. However, this model has many more pros than those 2 cons. Taking out and emptying the chamber is so simple compared to the dash. I love the hose attachment. But the best part of this model is the RINSE option!!! LOVE IT! This rug feels so sparkling clean now. I even dug through the fibers to make sure I got all of the crud out of it. This machine did not eat up the long fibers at all, either! I will say that it took a lot of drying which was very tedious. If you’re cleaning a shag with this, make sure to really spend extra time drying it. I then hung it to dry out even more. I don’t expect this shampoo model to last longer than a year or two unfortunately. It seems all of these machines get too broken down internally by moisture. I owned two powerdash pets that broke within 1-2 years. This time I am trying to really focus on airing out the unit before putting it back into storage. I will update if anything goes amiss!

This is an excellent cleaner! Does a great job with minimal detergent! Easy to fill and drain.

I’m coming back 6years after buying this to share my love and appreciation for it!! Best investment ever! 6.5years later it’s still transforming and reviving the WHITE upholstered Restoration Hardware chairs I stupidly bought before having **3 children**… The picture doesn’t do it justice. Without this device I would have had to spend hundreds on new chairs, but an hour with this tool every 6 months keeps them looking presentable. 9 times out of 10 I just used the attached handheld hose (vs the full on carpet cleaner) but it’s nice to have both and is not too heavy/cumbersome to move around the house.
