pleased with carpet cleaner

The carpet cleaner is working well so far for me.  I have not used the attachments yet, however I will do that soon.  It was not difficult to put together and it is relatively easy to clean.

ove my new carpet cleaner! I had a Bissell for years, but was heavy and I thought cleaned well, as the return water was dirty enough to think I was "a good house keeper"! But, this light weight cleaner seems to do so much better. The suction and remains dampness to the carpet in the process of cleaning I think is my learning to regulate my separate spraying of cleaner and water. Not this Hoover, which is my only misgiving/aggravation. The previous cleaner seemed to dry quicker. I have 2 cats and a dog so the hair picked us makes me blush to think it remained on my rugs with mere vacuuming. Am delighted with the cleaner overall. I have limited use of my left arm so this is a bargain for me in ability to do for myself.

I love it. It cleans like a professional carpet cleaner.  It is easy to clean and reload with more water/cleanser

I have used the carpet cleaner and I love it compared to others I've had. Easy to clean and not as bulky! I does have a smaller water tank. I think this is a great product!

I had owned and used the predecessor to the carpet cleaner for many years before the motor finally gave up the ghost.  I was pleased with the performance of the old one although the functionality of the resevoirs, especially the return tank, was overly complicated and I thought the brush action weak.  Both of these problems were addressed with this machine and in addition it is more powerful than before.  I have no complaints for this carpet cleaner, the performance is outstanding, I especially like the separate resevoir for the detergent meaning no more mixing in the clean water tank. The operation is simple and easy to use.  Thumbs up!

I have never owned a carpet cleaner.  If I needed one, I always went to the store and rented one or called a professional carpet cleaner.  I had the opportunity to receive this Bissell Lift-off Deep Cleaner free of charge.  This cleaner was very easy to assemble.  All that I had to do to assemble, was to put in 4 screws in the handle.  They were clearly marked. It is very user friendly.  The cleaner is very light and easy to handle.  It has a removable canister that can be used as a spot cleaner.  The carpet that I was cleaning was extremely dirty and it made a world of difference in the appearance.  I thought the carpet was ruined, but the cleaner really put life back in the carpet.  The only complaint I have is with the water tanks.  You have to empty them out very often.  I didn't receive a user guide, but I was able to get one online.  Thanks again for this wonderful free cleaner!!!!!

This is an excellent home carpet cleaner.  The one I owned previously was very similar and I had it for 12 years.  This one is just as good if not better.

Aside from the test of time I can say that I am very satisfied and happy with this product.  So far I have used it to clean a 14 x 22  wall to wall carpet and found it to be very easy to prep and operate.  The result was very satisfying .. the carpet looked and smelled great .. it felt 'fluffier' for lack of a better term. The fact that the fresh solution as well as the dirty solution extracted from the rug reside in the same tank greatly simplifies the task overall.  Some of the 8% 1 star reviews complain that the tank is too small .. it did take a few refills to clean the above room, but then a larger tank would be heavier and a bit harder to deal with .. nothing is perfect.  It takes a while to get used to the flow of the solution from the sprayer .. you do not want to soak the rug .. also it is very important to be patient and continue to run the extraction over the wet area to remove as much of the dirty solution as possible. Many of the 1 star reviews say that a belt breaks or the suction stops working within a short amount of time .. that when they tried to use it 'next time' it no longer worked.  I have a few days left on my return window so I will try cleaning a few more carpets and update this review.

So far we have cleaned 3 rooms with this carpet cleaner, and it has been working great.  Our carpet isn't very old and doesnt look dirty, but the  water coming out was a dark brown. The few stains that were in our carpet came right out so the cleaner seems to be doing the trick. The only knock is that you have to empty the return reservoir and fill the water tank pretty often, but I still give it 5 stars because it is designed to be a small light machine so you can't expect large tanks on it and emptying and refilling is quick enough.

Carpet cleaner surpassed my expectations. Right out of the box, I used it on an area of carpet that had been soiled by a pet. It left the carpet looking almost brand new. Very impressed and thrilled I was able to get it at such a bargain. Thank you Amazon!

I received this Hoover MaxExtract carpet cleaner and used it the day I got it. It is the best carpet cleaner I have owned. I'm elderly and it was very easy to use and didn't hurt my shoulder or arms while it was scrubbing my carpet. I saw this item on one of my local TV channels. They call it Does it Work Wednesday. It earned an A+ rating. I quickly looked on Amazon.com & found this carpet cleaner and ordered it. It arrived in 2 days at my doorstep. It really does what it says it will do. Frances Palmer

This carpet cleaner is terrific - and it has already offset the cost of renting grocery store cleaning machines.  We like Hoover's ease of use - it is easy to fill, does a great job cleaning wall-to-wall carpets and it gets into the many small floor areas of our home.  The machine is rugged and durable, yet compact and light.  It is easy to clean-up and store.  The machine quickly breaks down into components for cleaning.  We are pleased with the purchase.

The only comment I would add for improvement would be to lengthen the power cord another 5-8 feet.  The cord length is functional, but we have to move to cord to a new outlet frequently.  Our Panasonic vacuum cleaner does the carpet prep with just two plug changes.

Overall - this is a great machine.  Thanks.

Glad that I have found a simple sweeper that gets the job done for my small rug.

Love this carpet cleaner.  It is easy to use and does a great job on floors and furniture.  I have CATS and cleaning cat hair is a challenge.
