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

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

This carpet cleaner absolutely WILL get your carpets clean. I have owned many carpet cleaners in my time, and none of them have pulled up as much gross as this one has. To put this into perspective, I have 2 hairy cats, two hairy dogs ( GSD and a sharpei mix. Shedders for sure) as well as 3 children under the age of 10 who live their lives on a homestead. Messes are only second nature to us, and carpets are designed for destruction and gross collections. I go over a carpet twice and its coming up almost clean on the second round. It also pulls almost as much water as it puts down. Full and empty almost at the same time. The downside - people are NOT kidding when they say it has a small tank. I went over this small section twice and filled/emptied the tank 4 times. I understand if the tank was any bigger, this cleaner would be downright heavy and hard to move, but alas it still sucks to have to run up and down the stairs to fill it. In spite of this, I would still purchase this carpet cleaner again :)

Let me preface this review. I am a vet with PTSD and Anxiety that also has OCD. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs. But I keep my home clean. In the last two and a half years I have replaced two Bissell shampooers . So I decided to get this one. This thing is the bomb diggity. I shampooed once I had mud coming out. Two rinses later still hade dirt. But not as much. With the attachments and rubber mat I am set. Couches beds car here I come with a 12 pack and some jams youre asses are getting clean. Oh cleaning this big Bertha of cleaning is a breeze to clean out 5 freaking stars

We cannot believe how easy this is to use and it contains a large storage tank. Go slow with the cleaning and the results are phenomenal. Thanks Hoover and Amazon.

Love this machine. Was excited to use it and it didn’t disappoint. Made a huge difference on my rug

For the price point this machine gets it done! We live in an apartment that has a carpet that gets dirty no matter how careful we are and with one pass look at the results!

My Hoover Powerscrub XL Pet machine is Great – outcleaned all the spray cans and rented Rug Dr.s and Bissels I’ve tried. I was hoping to save carpets, instead of replace them after 4 years of spot-treating for cats and dogs, feet, food and wine spills. The carpet got so bad the animal smell just didn’t go away, even right after I spent $$ on a rental machine. A friend suggested I look at the carpet with a black light. When I recovered from gagging, I looked at a lot of machine reviews. There were 4 or 5 that looked pretty good. Besides good reviews, I chose this Hoover for the option of whole-floor or spot cleaning with the hose, and for the price. WHAT I LIKE about it: Besides just getting the carpet super-clean, I like the cleanser-dispensing bin. No need to mix cleaner into every new tank of water. One fill of the dispensing bin lasts for several tanks. It’s very light, so easy to operate even when full. Even with my multiple runs over every area, two fills of the clean-water bin did a standard-size bedroom. The machine also cleans up very easily. SUGGESTIONS: Pay attention to the machine’s directions. Its not exactly same as the rental models. At first look, I was afraid the clean water bin didn’t fit as it didn’t drop completely into the machine, but when filled with water, it fit fine. Be sure the dirty-water bin is properly set in, AND prime the machine according to directions, so the water will pick up. You can clearly see it come up into the bin. I recommend the professional cleaning solution – especially for pet-mess problems. Be patient. I made numerous runs in multiple directions over every piece of floor, and even more on stains. End result, even the worst stains disappeared under normal light, and with the black light, about 95% to 100% disappeared. And – NO more bad smells! I have NOT yet used the hose or hand tools so can’t review them. Some machines I reviewed had a feature to keep the water hot. I found this unnecessary. In addition, I wasnt worried about how wet the carpet was -- I just planned to let it dry overnight.

I am missing the solution cap

Very impressed with the depth of cleaning that it performed

Some reason I thought this was specifically for cleaning pet homes but I misread something somewhere anyways. It took me a couple tries to figure it out. I initially used too much product/water I think and it took more than 24 hours to dry even with using dry strokes. Just using the drying feature doesnt completely dry the carpet either which is kind of disappointing but once you figure out the criss cross method and careful about the amount of water/solution it takes probably 10 hours to dry after you get tired of trying to dry it through dry strokes. The thing I dislike so far is I have used it to clean our apt (its pretty small) but I have had to refill the water tank 3 times but the dirty water tank has barely any water in it. Im a lil concerned about that but maybe I should have researched the type of carpets we have? They are like medium long fibers. Im just concerned theres abunch of water underneath the carpet now... I also have a crappy vacuum cleaner but it usually does an okay job however when going over with the carpet cleaner it continuously spits out balls of hair instead of sucking it up. Even if you use the hose to do that it still spits hair out. Now that could just be the crappy vacuum and the weird carpet we have its harder to pull the hairs out... Overall I do love this as the house smells so much better. We were dealing with my cat marking all over the place and spots still smelling like pee but with this it smells very clean. I do wish the cleaner came in better scent but its better than cat pee! I havent pulled it apart to clean yet as I still have a couple pieces of furniture Im going to clean and then see how that goes. I think this product would be perfect for someone who either has a good vacuum cleaner or doesnt have pets or long carpet hairs.
