Would this vac, along with the: Hoover Platinum Collection Pet Plus be able to get cat urine AND the smell, out of the carpet effectively?

not unless the pet plus cleaner has enzymes that will get rid of the urine. dried urine creates an ammonia crystal which is very difficult to get out of fibers. They have to be broken down with enzymes and regular soap just doesn't do that. I suggest using VERY hot water and vinegar on the area, then using the vac over it. You need to let the vinegar sit on the area to saturate it before scrubbing and vacuuming so that it can penetrate the area. If that doesn't work, Nature's Miracle is a great enzymatic cleaner. Or try Biokleen Bac-Out, which what works for us. We have 2 cats and I've used it several times.

I never thought about it like that however, I would not. There is a very small slit opening where the unit meets the carpet so you would have to go over the areas a few times. I believe the instructions would want you to vacuum first although, this unit picks up quite a bit of extra dirt even after I vacuum. We have cats and it does a great job in my opinion.

I haven't tried that--I don't have a cat, but I would guess that it would pick up cat litter. It picks up pretty well.

I found that for cleaning things on top of the carpet or slightly under the top, it did fairly well. I found the suction to very weak. I bought a wet vac to use after I use it because it was not strong enough to remove much of the water.

I believe it specifies a "Hoover" carpet cleaning solution but any carpet cleaning solution would work, even a DIY one (you can google it)

No, 'fraid not. This vac is primarily for stairs. Only attachment is a wand. I feel your pain with the computer mess. I have a little DeWalt rechargeable/corded vac. If it sucked like a good vac, it'd be close to ideal.

The vac has two speeds, low and high. The low speed makes it easier to use on shaggy or thick carpet. The small rugs like a floor mat or welcome mat would still kind of get sucked up even on low. I use it on them still and just hold the mat down with one foot and it is fine. But to directly answer your question, it will most likely still suck up a small mat or rug...

Of course. All you do is disconnect the head from the hose and use whatever attachment you want for the job. Just remember, without powered brushes it won't pick up all the stuff on the carpet. We have cats and it does a good job and the head doesn't get jammed. If it does just unplug the vac and pick the hair out of the brushes. Be sure and have suction setting on 'High' and change the bag when it's getting full.

Yes. It is designed to work on cat urine. Give it time though. People expect this cleaner to work instantly and it is not designed that way. It has enzymes in it that eats away at urine. This particular version I do believe has some cleaners in it and I haven't used it before until now. I used it on my bedroom carpet and let it work over the weekend while we were away. It has gotten rid of the odor from the urine in there.

I do not believe so. I use this for quick cleanup on hard surface flooring. Works great, but for carpeted areas I have the Miele cat and dog model. I will never own another brand of vacuum. The Miele brand is the best and I do not regret spending the money on either model.

It's not recommended. The Hoover cleaner is great, however, do not use it full strength.

Not sure if the suction is strong enough to pull cat litter out of a deeper pile carpet. If it is a low pile berber type carpet I would think it would work okay.

It really depends on how thick of a carpet it is. I have one large area rug that is very thick and it won't move very well. My other is a short nap and it does a great job. Just remember you MUST empty the refuse basket and clean the brushes often if you have a lot of hair. And like I have said before this does not preclude you from using your other vac now and again. Mine does a great job picking up hair, dirt and dust.

I used a dry vacuum and it wasn't effective. Maybe if you used resolve and then used a regular (wet) carpet cleaner it might help. I don't know. For me, it wasn't effective.

No, I used it with my Shark vac. It is very thick and almost cat litter texture. It was hard to vacuum up

Yes it will. This is the only kind I use. It will pick up all kinds of things from your carpet too. You will be very happy with this product.

Absolutely. I have 2 dogs and 1 inside cat. Picks up their hair from title floor , throw rugs, and carpet. Wouldn't use it for deep down carpet vacuuming but gets the surface stuff just fine. Also just finished doing my furniture and it got the pet hair off of it also. This is exactly why I wanted it and have been very happy with its performance.
