Great carpet cleaner for steam machines

This cleaner does an awesome job especially in high traffic areas and large areas such as family rooms. I use it with my Bissell steam cleaner. It is concentrated but the ratio of cleaner to water is posted right on  receptacle for adding cleaning solution.

Picked up one of these bad boys to help get rid of a cat pee stain/smell, and to use routinely on the carpet instead of calling the steamer company out every few months. I have two cats that love to forgo the litterbox in favor of the carpet, and a soon-to-be-toddler who's just a mess in the making. This machine picked up a ton of cat fur that my Dyson DC40 didn't even find, and cleaned my carpet better than an $80 steam job. It took a little elbow grease, it isn't quite as maneuverable and easy to push as the vacuum, but it works brilliantly. The aggressive brushing eliminated the pee smell and actually sort of "fluffed" the carpet, making it look less flat and worn, like new!

The steamvac was just what I expected.  I had used a friend's steamvac recently and loved it and the convenience of using it.  It is great and I am more than happy with my purchase.  It isn't great for really tough stains but it does a great job of cleaning up the heavily traveled paths as well as pet messes.  The price is exceptional for the amount of use it gets.

I hate cleaning.  And I'm lazy.  But I do find this steam cleaner easy to use and somewhat satisfying as well.  I feel like it does a good job if you take your time and I've found that the carpet dries faster than I've experienced with other cleaners.  It's not too heavy so you don't get tired from dragging it around the room, and it has a pretty good capacity as well.

Bought this Hoover FH50150 carpet cleaner to welllll....clean my carpets of course. They were dirty and nasty from pets and tracking in dirt from my boots. I used this machine with some strong cleaner I bought on Amazon....the Sunny brand, and now my carpet looks new. No more stains. This carpet cleaner is only as good as the carpet formula you use to put in it to release the stains. Great machine with lots of nice attachments for stairs, couch, auto etc.. Very fast shipping too. Very happy with this product.

I had a steam-it before but i broke it. I had to buy a new one because it is an amazing machine. No other product works as well or a easy as this. I threw out my mops my swiffers and all other cleaners. till i got the steam-it the only way to get a clean floor was on my hands and knees. So thank you Oreck for making my life a whole lot easier.

I have had a Hoover SteamVac before. This newer model seems way better. Much easier to clean out the dirty water. And does a great job on my carpets. I would definitely recommend this.

This thing worked great on removing a lot of the pet stains I had. I used a steam vac from petsmart

This works great! I had another Hoover steam vac that is almost identical to this one, but this one works much better. My old one broke, so I needed one asap. This steam cleaner arrived within a few days of ordering it, and cleans much better than the old one I had, and leaves the carpet almost dry. I love it.

This works great!  When used in the Bissell machine, it even got old pet stains out of the carpet that nothing else had worked on.

Our carpets are really dirty from having constant gatherings at our house with lots of kids (school, church youth, etc) - spilled drinks, dirty shoes, pet stains, dropped food, you name it. This machine tackles it head on. We use hot water and just operate it as instructed. I like the separate cleaning solution reservoir's location / ease of use.

My original search was for the new Hoover Agility but Amazon's price and free shipping on the SteamVac convinced me otherwise and I'm glad.  This SteamVac has super suction as long as you tightly close the 'dirty-water' container.  The brushes work very well and are easy to clean.  It's light enough to push even with a full 'clean-water' tank.  I cleaned the LR/DR carpet around 10 PM and it was bone dry and fluffy in the morning.  A couple of old wool throw rugs came out great too.

On the negative side, the hose/upholstery attachment is difficult to set up. It requires re-configuring the machine. If you clean your upholstery often it might be a drawback.  With 3 cats, we're into fleece throws.

This is an excellent product. My wife had been using another top name brand but it just did not work near as well. This product has rotating brushes that do a much better job than carpet cleaner that use a brush similiar to that used by a vacum cleaner. The old steam cleaner was leaving clumps of fabric on the carpet where this one does not. It uses the same approach as a professional cleaner that comes in and uses a pad on the carpet to clean it. It just does a much better job and definately removes stains.

A great product!

I have previously owned Bissell Steam Cleaners, but they kept breaking, so after reading the reviews of this Hoover Steam Vac, I bought it & love it!  It does clean much better than the Bissell cleaners that I have owned.  I had one problem with it, but after reading the manual & looking at the machine, I realized I did not have the recovery tank front panel down when I replaced it in the machine.  Once I figured this out, it worked like a champ!  I would highly recommend this steamer.

I like this carpet cleaner a lot.  It is easy to use and does a good job.  The separate clean and dirty water containers are easy to empty/fill.

Bought this carpet cleaner after renting "machines" from the hardware store every time I wanted to clean the carpet.  It is very sturdy and works well.  The "collection bucket" is easy to get in an out and the carpet cleaner gives you adequate warning before it is full.  Glad I made the purchase.  It has definitely paid for itself!

Yes, after 12 years my Hoover steam machine is still working just like it did when I bought it.  Hard to believe, I know. My machine has the separate hand tool for cleaning my couch, chairs, drapes and anything else I can think of. Great for cleaning a child's car seat! I have my carpets, drapes and couch professionally cleaned every year or two as needed. In between I use my Hoover Clean Machine...It has really saved me when I have parties or any gathering of many people,as many times I needed to clean a rug the day of and the carpet is clean and fresh when company arrives.

I have light beige carpet so you know that shows spots, stains and dirt much more than darker carpets ,in 5 rooms and wood in the rest.  So nice to be able to clean my area rugs in halls, foyer, sunroom  and large basement. Just makes such a difference.

I'm not going over the specs. here as others have done that. I just don't have any complaints. This machine has saved me so much money through the years and I am always amazed after running this over my carpets.

If this one ever quits on me, I will buy another asap.
