Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner

<h2>Product Description</h2>


 

      
 
    This powerful home steam vacuum saves you the expense and hassle of having to rent a steam cleaner to keep rugs, upholstery, and bare floors (other than hardwoods) looking like new. The powerful 12-amp motor combined with five spinning brushes that operate at either high or low speed lift the dirt and grime out of carpets. By pulling on the trigger in the comfortable upright handle, this deep cleaner releases the included carpet/upholstery cleaner and hot tap water. <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/hoover/steamvac5._SL300_.jpg" alt="Hoover Steam Vac" height="300" width="225"> For more stubborn stains or for high-traffic areas, this SteamVac also has a Clean Surge feature, which sends an extra blast of cleaning solution into the stain by simply pressing a button on the handle. When cleaning is complete, release the trigger and the SteamVac forces hot air into the cleaning path so you can do a few dry strokes over the stain.  This deep cleaner has two separate water tanks to keep clean water apart from dirty water. The top tank holds the detergent and one gallon of hot water and automatically mixes the two so you don&rsquo;t need to get your hands wet. The lower tank holds the dirty solution picked up from the carpet and unlatches to easily pour out into a sink without spilling.  For cleaning stairs or upholstery, this deep cleaner has a long 8-foot hose and a special stair/upholstery nozzle to scrub out spots. Other features of this deep cleaner include a brush indicator, which informs you that the brushes are spinning; an on/off foot pedal; a handle release pedal; and a 20-inch wraparound cord. The Hoover SteamVac is covered by a full one-year warranty.  Hoover SteamVac Features &bull; SpinScrub - multi-directional brushes surround carpet fibers, to remove dirt at every angle  &bull; 3-Speed Brushroll Control - High for normal cleaning, low for gentle cleaning, off for spill pick-up  &bull; Tool Mode - stops scrubbing brushes to protect hard flooring  &bull; Removable Brushes - pop out for easy rinsing  &bull; Clean Surge Control - fingertip control applies extra detergent to stains and heavy traffic areas  &bull; Heated Drying - applies heat to floor to speed drying time  &bull; 8' Stretch Hose - provides instant extended reach  &bull; Dual Tanks - easy-to-fill tanks keep cleaning solution and dirty water separate  &bull; No Belts - never change or replace or break a belt  &bull; Powerful 12-amp Motor - has all the power needed to get floors truly clean  &bull; Carpet/Upholstery Detergent - Includes one 16 oz bottle of powerful cleaning detergent  &bull; Limited one-year warranty  &bull; On Board Tools: SpinScrub Powered Hand Tool puts hard-to-reach cleaning in the palm of your hand: perfect for stairs, upholstery and stains   <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/hoover/steamvac13._SL300_.jpg" alt="Hoover Steam Vac" height="200" width="200"> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/hoover/steamvac2._SL300_.jpg" alt="Hoover Steam Vac" height="200" width="180"> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/hoover/steamvac4._SL300_.jpg" alt="Hoover Steam Vac" height="200" width="180"> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/hoover/steamvac1._SL300_.jpg" alt="Hoover Steam Vac" height="180" width="170">   <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/hoover/steamvac8._SL300_.jpg" alt="Hoover Steam Vac" height="240" width="300">A clear nozzle allows you to see how well the SteamVac is cleaning your carpets <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/hoover/steamvac3._SL300_.jpg" alt="Hoover Steam Vac" height="240" width="300">The SpinScrub brushes are easily removable and can be rinsed to maintain performance <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/hoover/steamvac9._SL300_.jpg" alt="Hoover Steam Vac" height="240" width="300">The included detailer tool is great for cleaning stairs or tough stains

Living in a one-bedroom apartment, I had real qualms about having purchased this. However, after several cleanings, I can say it's absolutely been worth it.
<br/>
<br/>I have a short-haired cat who was home one time during a professional cleaning. The cleaner had let himself in when I wasn't home. I came home later to beautiful carpet, but I couldn't find the cat. No, he hadn't been sucked up by the steamer, but he was a terrified lump under the covers of the bed. He stayed there for a long time, huddled and shivering as I petted him through the covers.
<br/>
<br/>With time, my carpets started getting grungy again. Like most felines, mine goes through his shed-and-barf episodes a few times a year. I used to spot clean, but it always grossed me out, and I was never convinced I was getting deep enough. Considering I now had several spots and didn't want to put the beast through another traumatic professional cleaning, I sprung for the Hoover SteamVac.
<br/>
<br/>It's a hefty, heavy thing with minimal prep required to set it up for the first time. After shutting the cat in the bedroom, I was ready to go. I steamed the living room using the recommended amount of Hoover cleaner, adding my own boiling water from an electric kettle (the directions just say hot, but I had read other reviews here!). The stuff that came out of the carpet was amazing and disgusting. I had swept already, and still the water turned a filthy brown. It lifted the spots from the carpet like a pro. The Clean Surge feature is great for particularly difficult, set-in stains. One stain that had been there for a long time lightened, but could not be completely removed. Still, I was satisfied. The vacuum of the water worked great and left the carpet just slightly damp. It dried quite fast.
<br/>
<br/>After this, I was bitten by the cleaning bug and wanted to steam EVERYTHING. My car was several years old, having been purchased as a used vehicle. The seats had always bothered me because the driver's looked dingy and darker than the passenger side, and the passenger side was darker than the back seats. Even though the Hoover cord is quite long, I attached a couple extension cords together in order to reach from my apartment to the car outside.
<br/>
<br/>Setting the steamer up for cleaning upholstery is a more complicated process than steaming your carpets. I read the directions and remembered thinking I'd better not lose them because there's no way I'd remember what went where later. I went to work and steamed those seats. The results were nothing short of amazing. I could see muddy-colored water being sucked back into the Hoover. The cleaning using the upholstery attachments, including rotating, scrubbing brushes, worked wonders in cleaning out years of dirt and turning the seats much lighter.
<br/>
<br/>Months later, I've cleaned my carpets repeatedly. Each time I'm thrilled with the results. I don't always use as much cleaner as Hoover recommends because I've read the other reviews about cleaner possibly attracting dirt. I haven't noticed any difference in using half the amount of cleaner after the initial cleaning with full strength.
<br/>
<br/>After a cleaning, the cat barf spots are gone. Despite having vacuumed before cleaning, the cleaner still picks up cat hair and spits it out as wet little clumps that need to be picked up later when the floor has dried. It's just confirmation to me that the steamer is really getting in deep and pulling up ground-in dirt and hair.
<br/>
<br/>And you know what? This even works on linoleum! Granted, you may not want to pull it out as your primary method for washing floors, but it's great for a periodic steam cleaning. You have the option to turn the rotation of the brushes off if you're concerned about them on your floors. The cleaning solution also does a fantastic job and leaves the linoleum gleaming and shiny. 
<br/>
<br/>My carpets always look great. They always have that "just cleaned" look about them. I've had people comment on them as they enter my home and insist on removing their shoes. I'm very satisfied with the performance of the Hoover. If you have carpet, and especially if you have an indoor pet, you'll get lots of use out of the SteamVac.
