Hoover PowerDash Pet Compact Carpet Cleaner, Shampooer Machine, Lightweight, FH50700, Blue

Buy it it is awesome unfortunately I have to reorder because my bully bit thru the cord but it is so worth it and it is good to get the pet cleaner that they offer with it

I typically don’t waste time writing reviews, but I am really blown away by the power that this little unit offers. I have mostly wood and tile floors, but I do have one large shag rug that always smells like dog lately. I’ve used smaller carpet cleaners on it, handheld carpet cleaners, and it just wasn’t getting clean. I was just about to throw it away and figured I would try this machine because it got great reviews. BLOWN. AWAY. this little machine packs a punch for sure. It is by far the most powerful suction of any carpet cleaner I have ever used, including full-size machines. It pulled so much hair and fuzz out of my rug that my vacuum didn’t touch, and former cleanings didn’t touch. It’s a basic model, with small reservoirs, so the only drawback is having to empty the dirty bin and refill the water solution, but it’s a pretty small trade off for such a powerful machine. This machine saved my rug, and got it clean enough that it looks brand new inside of about an hour. I’ve been a Bissell loyalist for years just having pets, but this out performs any Bissell machine I own, and I own three currently

This is an amazing product. If you’re looking for a lightweight carpet cleaner ,yet powerful! . You can see the dirty water and I am a grandma that lives alone and has no pets. that’s how well it cleaned. I’m absolutely shocked and amazed at this product. You won’t be disappointed. It’s not much louder than my vacuum cleaner either ! easy to use., Easy to push , easy to put together.! Absolutely amazing product.! Thank you Hoover ! Just what I was looking for!

Ive been married 50 years..5 kids, numerous pets, and now grandkids. This is the easiest, and best shampooer Ive ever used. It is lightweight, cleans the worst , dried up spots!

For the money this is a no brainer. The machine does extremely well with good suction power. It is easy to clean and to use. The stair tool works excellent. I was surprised how good that it was for the price. I have used commercial equipment in the past many times, and can say that the results are about the same as this. It is possible that this machine does slightly better since it has the rollers to do deep cleaning. With a commercial cleaner you need to scrub the carpets with a carpet rake to get it this good. The amount of dirt that came out of the carpet is incredible. I have used other residential carpet cleaners too and this one is way better than the others I have tried. I dont think that it is too loud but it is what I would expect from anything this powerful. The cord could be longer but adding an extension cord or moving to another plug is not that hard. The dirty tank comes on and off with no trouble. It is pretty light when its empty, but seems to be made good. Was really easy to set up and understand how to use it. Came with a sample bottle of shampoo and I was happy about that. It was enough to do a couple of rooms. Also, to clean the brushes it is super easy and you dont have to flip it over to do it so that is a major bonus. Everything comes apart for maintenance and there isnt much they didnt think of when making this. I give 5 stars. So glad I got it. Cannot speak for the life of the thing, but I dont see any issues after cleaning all my carpet. (there is a lot of it) Highly recommend and love this cleaner.

We got a new puppy, and accidents happen. Our house is half carpet and half hardwood. While the carpet is by no means great looking, we wanted to avoid creating spots that would attract more problems. Upon arrival, the machine was very easy to put together. Suction and drying seem to be exactly as advertised. Area and regular carpets are dry to the touch in 30 minutes. I did one of our area rugs, which as not been cleaned in 10 years. While I would not call the results amazing, or like new, I was happy with the results. Much nicer to look at now. I only gave 4 overall stars for two reasons. We have always had cats and dogs in the house, and it is amazing how much hair can be in a carpet and you not see it. I have a Dyson vac that I think does a great job, considering what I see in the catch bucket. But, when I cleaned with the Hoover, lots of balls of hair were showing up. They were not sucked up by the Hoover. They just kind of gathered up in golf ball sized clumps. Not a big deal, and some of the hair was being sucked into the machine. On the plus side, it WAS pulling the hair out of the carpet. The other reason was that the machine tends to dribble if it sits, turned off. Like, a tablespoon or two of liquid will be on the hardwood after 5 minutes of being off. So, be careful where you leave it, and be sure to take the bottle out if you are done. I keep the solution bottle filled, out of the machine, where I store it in the closet. When we have a mistake, it is easy to pull out, clean up, empty the catch container, and put away. Maybe 5 minutes for the whole process, which is a LOT better than getting on your hands and knees trying to sop the mess up with a towel. In summary, this is NOT a whole house rug cleaner. It could be, I guess, but there are better options for that. It IS an excellent spot cleaner. Light, easy to use, and effective. Update- 2 weeks later In the last 2 weeks, aside from cleaning mistakes, I have cleaned a 12x12 Area Rug, a 14x14 Herringbone (?) carpet in the computer room, and the plain short pile carpet in the bedroom. As I said earlier, this is not designed as a whole house rug cleaner. However, as I have learned, if you take a little time, and dont mind filling the bottle frequently, it does the same GREAT job on large carpets. Out bedroom was especially nasty. A few pet mistakes and 10 years worth of heavy traffic dirt and grime. I didnt move everything out, just worked around the bed and dressers. Probably a 14x14 area. Took about 6 bottles worth of mix (water and the small amount of cleaner, per instructions) and in the heavy traffic and mistakes area, I went over them and let them soak for 5 minutes, then went over them again. When the wife got home, she immediately noticed the difference, from the living room, 10 feet away. Wow, you did the carpet. It looks great! And, she was right. It does look great. Again, my only real complaint is how it handles hair. All those years of always having pets (3-4 pets) left a LOT of hair, and the Dyson didnt do as good a job of getting it all out as I thought it was. It looked hairless, but obviously not. The Hoover pulled out a softball sized glob of hair. Sometimes, clumps just came out as I was cleaning, the rest I had to rinse out of the brushes in the sink. Since the cleaner is so light, it is easy to just lift it over the kitchen sink and clean the brush out with the faucet. Sounds a lot worse than it really is, maybe 2 minutes to a clean brush. Then again, it IS pulling all that hair out. I can live with the cleaning the brushes aspect. So, for effectiveness, I would give 5+ stars. For the little quibbles about dribbles and cleaning, I only gave it 4 stars.

I have a low pile rug in my living room and it was impossible to keep it clean. I have one medium hair cat and this rug is her favorite place to hang out. It is a 10 x 12 rug and it was taking me, no lie, over 2 hours to vacuum or clean and it still looked awful. I decided to try to get a shampooer especially designed for removing animal hair. This model appealed to me due to it being described as lightweight but still having great suction. That is it in a nutshell. I had a Hoover carpet cleaner for 20 years and it worked great, my only quibble was the weight, had to be over 20 pounds so my carpets werent cleaned as much as they should. This machine is perfect for my needs. I would read the other reviews, it works best when you take your time, put down a small area with solution, then SLOWLY go over it to remove all the water. If you sweep like a vacuum, using more speed to vacuum will actually take more time. Assembly takes about 5 minutes tops, and the directions to assemble and use is included and straightforward. A small bottle of cleaning solution is included, probably for three or our tanks. The suction on this small machine is incredible. You could feel the machine almost latch on to the carpet and I felt like the solution was getting deep into the surface and then really getting sucked out. I had high suction only until the supply canister of water/cleaner was just about out. I did no prep work on the carpet so it was absolutely full of cat hair, shredded paper, dirt, etc. Since this was the first time cleaning, I wanted to get it as clean as possible, and I needed a little bit of time to see how to best operate it. An hour later, the rug was shampooed and it took about an hour. The collection pail water was very dark brown, which was gross but not as gross as realizing I was walking on it and my cat was rolling around in it. The price was fantastic well under $100. I would expect it be well over $100. I rent out furnished apartments and Im going to buy at least one more machine to use for my business. Its an excellent investment, particularly if you own an animal or if you rent to individuals who have animals. 5/5 stars:: excellent machine!

I didn’t realize how big it was and I have a small apartment. I was wondering if I can replace it with a smaller one and when delivered pick up the one I have. I’m new at this so thought I would check. Thank Youize

Weve got white carpeting in our living/dining area and upstairs in the hallway and master bedroom. The carpet was not new when we bought the house, but had been cleaned, and looked great. We moved in with our three dogs and our two cats, and somehow, we havent figured out what caused it, the carpet began to get a bit dirty, especially in areas where our biggest dog (Zeus, an 85 pound teddy bear) prefers to sleep. Then, a few months ago, my elderly mother moved in with us, and she has two small dogs who decided to come along for the ride. One of those two dogs (Katie, a Feist dog who looks like a tiny deer more than anything else,) isnt housebroken. Is. Not. Housebroke. Not at all. Not even a little bit. She *was* housebroken at my moms house, before Mom moved in with us, but Katie is a shelter dog, and we dont know if she was abused or just severely neglected before the shelter got her, but timid doesnt even begin to describe this dog. Shes not afraid of *us* anymore, and gets along great with the other dogs, but fear is her steadfast companion, and for whatever reason, she has decided that one thing to be afraid of is the very idea of going outside without my mom. The people who owned this house before we did also had a small dog. I dont know how well housebroken that dog was, but, I used to work for a carpet cleaning company, and one thing I learned there is about wicking. What can happen is, lets say that your dog--or our Katie--pees on the carpet and happens to pee where some other dog once peed on the carpet too. Not only can Katie leave a stain, but, the moisture can actually cause the stain from the *old* pee to get wicked back up to the surface, just the same way that oil is wicked up in a lantern to burn by the .... well, by the wick. So apparently Katie is pretty good at finding old pee stains because very often, where she chooses to pee we not only get her new pee stain, but another stain as well, with brown edges. Nice, right? Our white carpet quickly became white, yellow, brown, and ugh, colors. And yes, in this case, ugh is a color. I was desperate. We cant afford new carpet and no one in their right mind would buy new carpet before the final dog was housebroken anyway, but if anyone had come over to visit with the carpet looking like this... okay, I was about to say I would have died of embarrassment but that would be overstating my degree of concern about what other people think by about a million degrees. Still, were pretty fond of this house (a mid century modern) and its looks, and we wouldnt want the carpet to be the thing people remembered the most about the house, especially not when theres a backyard with 5 dogs pooping in it for them to remember instead. (Flies. We have flies. Even though we scoop, we have flies.) Enter this little machine. For the price, I have to tell ya, I wasnt expecting *too* much. Then again, I was expecting *something* or I wouldnt have bought it. What I got was, in fact, a lot more than I was expecting, I can tell you that. I followed the quick start guide and put it together; all very simple. I filled the water tank with water and a little of the detergent that came with it, plugged the machine in, and fired it up, after first tempering my husband and mothers expectations by letting them know that it was possible that it wouldnt do anything except make the wicking problem even worse, and advising them that for that reason, I was going to test just a small area. Listen... well, no, just read. No wicking problem. New stains are gone. Old stains are gone. Does the carpet look brand new again? Well, no. But it looks as good as it does when we moved in here. The machine spits the water into the carpet, rub-a-dub-dubs it however much you want it to, and then when youre ready, it sucks the water back out again, and applies some heat to help start it on its way to getting dry again. Easy as can be. In fact, Im afraid to say this because we ARE talking about housework here but its actually kind of.... well.... fun. I dont SAY that about housework. But the thing is that its not housework I hate. In fact, I *love* housework when its not overly strenuous, doesnt make me sweat, and I can look at what Ive just done and really tell that I DID something, and this machine covers all those points. And for the price? Well. All I can say is that its one of the best purchases Ive ever made, and if you could see my buying-history, and thank god you cant, youd realize what a huge statement that is for me to say. There may be some carpet cleaning jobs it wouldnt be recommended for, but not any carpet cleaning jobs that *I* would ever do. Thats a fact. I love this thing. I love it so much Im going to name it. I just havent chosen the perfect name yet. Im thinking Slosh, though. Even though it doesnt. Slosh, that is. Oh yeah, emptying out the dirty water so that you can put in some nice clean water and clean more carpet is easy as can be, also. And be sure and vacuum first if you have pets. I didnt because I was in such a hurry to try this bad mofo out, and I was rewarded by having the machine spit out a couple of (quite clean!) hairballs while I was doing my test area. So yeah. Vacuum first. Buy this. This is the droid youre looking for.

I own an elderly dog who now has bladder control issues I was looking for a carpet cleaner that could effectively clean up her spots. When I tell you this hoover carpet cleaner is the best carpet cleaner ive ever used I am not kidding. Not only is it incredibly strong super effective and very lightweight its affordable it costs under $100 when I purchased it it was 89. It did such a good job cleaning spots I actually have cleaned all of my carpets in my house with it and they have never looked this good. I have had carpet cleaning services come to the house I have rented rug doctors none of them lifted the dirt and grime out of my carpet like this small mighty machine. It does have a small water reservoir because its intended for spot cleaning but it can be used on all of your carpet it just takes more trips to the sink. I have never purchased a product that I like better from hoover this thing is incredible I highly highly recommend it.
