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

This cleaner really does a very good job. My only complaint is I find I have to empty the retrieving tank much more often as it seems like it is a smaller capacity then a previously owned Hoover product. In the past I could do my entire house and empty it just once. With his model yesterday I had to empty it three times. But again performance wise it does work great.

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.

Okay, so the thing is more lightweight than my old hoover shampooer and makes much less noise. It does a good job as far as I can tell cleaning the carpet and throw rugs. Have to give it 5*s on that count but I could not find hoover shampoo at Walmart so I brought an off-brand. But could not be sure how much to add to the soap dispenser because I didnt know how much water the other half of the dispenser held. I had to get an empty gallon container and pour it into the water side of the tank to know how much of shampoo solution to add to the other half. In the end, it was way too soapy as I probably put in too much. Whatever. I used it anyway. THEN here is the part to be careful about (the design flaw). The dirty water container has two latches, one on each end. I unlatched the wrong end and then when i picked the dirty water tank up and out to dump it... it released dirty water all over the floor! Luckily it was on a tile floor and i re-attached the dirty water tank and sucked it right up. Now that I made that mistake once, wont be doing THAT again. Overall, now that i have gotten the hang of it, its going to be just fine. I like Hoover products. I used my old hoover shampoo for nearly 10 years and let my family borrow it too. I have a hoover vac that is awesome and love it. It was great and this one is going to be great too now that Ive made a few mistakes and figured out how to use it properly. I recommend it overall with the above caveats. Hope my review helps someone.

Love, love, love this carpet cleaner! Does an outstanding job on my apartment carpets. I even used it on my apartment complex hallway carpet and stairs, which were filthy. Looks like new now! Lightweight, easy to use, easy to clean. Uses very little water and definitely sucks up what is sprayed onto carpet. Carpet dries withi 20 min. Have used it for two years. No issues.

This is a great machine. Simple to use and put together. I can imagine for larger areas you will need to stop and dump the water intake tank, however that should be no reason not to buy it. I was amazed at how well it cleans. We had a professional carpet cleaner come in, and a couple weeks after we needed to spot treat a dog urine mess. I was very much impressed with how much dirt came up, along with the urine, even after the professional cleaning we had done not too much time before. Very much worth the money.

I got this in 17. I use it to vacuum a lot. Then I use the shampoo on a small area each time. Just rotate around and over four or five times I have the whole carpet cleaned. I ended up with the seal at the top of the dirty water tank leaking. Luckily found a place called parts warehouse that has diagrams and parts available. Less than three bucks for the seal. Shipping will probably be more than that so Im going to get any parts I might need like a new filter.

Easy to use

No lo dejaron en la puerta correcta Gracias Lo encontramos

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.

no pet hair wrapped around wheels like my old Bissell ..... I just had to pick up a few hair balls almost dreadlock style fireballs from our Golden Retriever...BUT it was better than the Bissell which collected all the fur around the wheels and I had to dig it off..Gross !!!
