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

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.

I love this carpet cleaner. It’s light weight and does the job. Great for my apartment.

I used the Hoover PowerDash on multiple light-colored 8X10 area rugs around my home and was really impressed with how much deep-set dirt & soil this compact cleaner pulled up. We have cats, and we also have the area rugs in high foot traffic areas of our home. After about 2 1/2 years of just using a regular vacuum on our rugs, I noticed the gray & cream colors were looking dingy. There were also a few faint stains on our family room rug from normal living wear & tear. I ordered this PowerDash based on positive reviews, and I am really glad I did. For the liquid formula I poured into the cleaner, I used the Bissel Pro Max Clean & Protect liquid formula for Upright Carpet Cleaners, and poured it in this Hoover Power Dash Upright Pet Carpet Cleaner with warm water, following the instructions that come with the Hoover Power Dash Cleaner. After one cleaning, my rugs look completely revived. My husband and I were shocked at how much dirt was in the rugs that we did not even realize. The Cleaner also lifted the faded stains, some that had been set for a good 2 years. I forgot how bright my rugs originally were! The PowerDash cleaner is lightweight and easy to assemble & to use. I also found it relatively easy to clean out the dirty water container. It just requires you to dump the dirty water and then you may have to pull out a few clumps of carpet fiber that the cleaner lifts because of the strong suction. A few tips: definitely use warm water, and go slowly when pushing & pulling the Cleaner during use. The clean water/formula tank is small, so I had to fill it twice to clean the full surface of one 8X10 area rug. The process of filling the water/formula tank is really easy so it is not a big deal, but I would recommend buying an extra bottle of the liquid cleaner to have on hand for cleaning if you plan to clean larger surface areas. All but one of our rugs were brand new 2 1/2 years ago when we moved into our home. The new thicker rugs all washed up really well and felt soft & fresh after the cleaning. The only advice I would give is to be careful with older or more delicate rugs. The suction of the carpet cleaner is strong, so it does suck up carpet fibers. We have one hall rug that is a little older/thinner, and the carpet fibers on that rug were a little delicate/brittle for the suction of the PowerDash. The rug is clean after use, but you can almost see where some of the fibers on this older rug were thinned out from the cleaning. But on all of our newer, thicker rugs, the cleaner sucked up the dirt & soil beautifully and left the rugs feeling really soft and clean. Overall, super pleased with this purchase. I am impressed with how powerful this cleaner is for something so lightweight and relatively inexpensive compared with other cleaners.

Let me start by saying this is an awesome, light-weight carpet shampooer. It does a good job. I borrowed this exact one from my daughter because my old shampooer finally died. I have white carpeting in the bedrooms and I was SO impressed at what a good job it did. I have two little dogs who can make a big mess! I was impressed at how clean it got the carpets, how quickly the carpets dried (great suction power!) and how light-weight it was while pushing and pulling it around. The price was right too. Only $88. (At Target) I rushed into buying it without reading the reviews first. Which I always do! I figured if my daughter still had hers after three years, why bother. Well here comes the reason I only gave it three stars! It lasted ONE YEAR AND ONE DAY! Yes, it died one day after the manufacturers warranty expired. I went in and read the reviews and LOTS and LOTS of people said the same thing!! This time I went on Amazon and bought the same one (it was a little more $$$) AND bought the extended warranty for $20 additional. WARNING: Its a great little carpet cleaner but make sure you buy the extended warranty!

Only dislike is that it doesnt have a hand device to clean furniture and such...

For the price and size it does really good justice.

I bought this for a small surface carpet and throw rugs. Simple to use and seems very well designed. Although the parts are plastic, they are durable. The only gripe I have is the water/solution bottle leaks...for sure. Remove it when done and if you have left over solution discard it or position it on its side so the residual is below the screw cover and the bottom fitting. It WILL leak form the bottom whatsahoozie fitting . I took the solution bottle out before drying the carpet. You can rotate the orange water plug to keep the dirty water tank opening open in order to let it dry out. I also put the machine on its side and set a fan on it to dry the brushes before storing it. I used a garden hose to flush the debris from the bristles and the water tank.

I had a good eureka carpet cleaner but sadly it doesn’t work anymore. After much research and reading tones of reviews, I decided to get this Hoover because research and reviews stated it worked good on “Pet” cleaning stains. I must say, I am satisfied with cleaner. It worked great at pulling up dirt and pet hair from carpet. One thing that wasn’t desirable was when I turned off the cleaner to empty there was dirty water puddled out. I’m am sure if this is normal or a problem. I did get the rubber mat and sat the cleaner on it so most of the water coming would be on it and not on the carpet.

This works great and is very lightweight. Its easy to carry and maneuver.

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.
