First off, I LOVE this machine. I did about 500sq ft the first day it was delivered. While I love his pristine and clean it got my carpets, it does have a few quirks.

This is the ideal carpet cleaning machine for apartment-dwellers with pets and carpets. Even if you use a “spot eliminator” device like I do, you know eventually you need to clean larger areas of carpet a spot device just can’t handle — or you want to clean the entire carpet in your space.

The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to assemble the machine once you get the parts out of the box. One caveat: the cap on the solution/water bottle. Push the inside of the cap out BEFORE you position the bottle (upside-down) in the machine — otherwise it will leak. I learned this after doing the wrong thing on the first fill. This quirk should be addressed on the quick set-up card for impulsive people such as myself.

The second thing I immediately noticed was how loud this machine is. It’s louder than most vacuums. I would definitely recommend not using it in the morning or evening — unless you want your neighbors to hate you.

Another quirk. The price point means certain “luxury” features are gone. If you hear the noise change, that is telling you either the cleaner/water bottle is empty — or the dirty water tank is full. Fill up the cleaner and dump the dirty tank at the same time. There is no light or other mechanism other than the way the machine sounds to tell you this.

Last quirk: the dirty water tank. You press the button from behind the machine and slide it out. The first time I put the handle down and was confused since no other machine I had worked this way. My advice: just take a few minutes to read the instructions.

Overall, i’m in love with this machine. If you are on a budget and can forgo luxury features, this machine will be for you. If you like tons of features, you might be disappointed by this particular machine.

I love that it’s small and easy to store; if you need to clean more than three large rooms, consider a machine with a wider path. Each room took me about three fills and three times emptying the dirty water tank. If you want a larger capacity machine, look for one with larger tanks and a larger cleaning path.

But if you don’t mind a little extra work, this machine is a solid 4.5 stars for me (too bad I can only give 4 on Amazon’s rating — 5 Stars would be too much considering the loudness and quirks).

I run dog services, boarding and daycare, out of my home. You can imagine my carpet sees high traffic regularly and potty accidents on occasion from the puppers. Love this Hoover! Holy moly! It picks up a CRAZY amount of deeply imbedded debris, dirt, stains, and hair. The difference in how much cleaner my carpet is after using it is OUTSTANDING!! I regularly vacuum and spot clean with other carpet cleaners and couldn’t fathom the filth I was actually living in after using the Hoover. It’s easy to assemble and light weight too. You can’t deny the results when cleaning out the dirty water tank either. Easily the best purchase I have made for my small business! Finally no more “spots” on my carpet from spot cleaning stains. And my new regular go to when cleaning my carpets and area rugs throughout my home! Very Impressive!

I am so happy with this little machine! I used to have one of those big carpet shampooers that are so very heavy. I had to have my grandson come over to help me with it! I could barely push it. This little Hoover is so much lighter it is hard to believe what a great job it does! The carpet looks amazingly clean. The machine is so light it is very easy to handle and I did not need anyone's help. And so quick! We have two little dachshunds that don't always make it outside in time. So maybe you can imagine. The carpet is so clean now you would never know the pups were there! And absolutely no smell. It is incredible. So if you are wavering between this and a bigger, more expensive machine because you think that will work better because of the price, waver no more. This little Hoover works just as well, if not better! I swear!

I really like it! It cleaned the carpet very well. I attached a before and after of the main spot in my carpet without being pretreated. The only problems are that the clean water tank is very small, I had to empty and refill it 4 times just for my small apartment living room. The dirty water tank is also hard to clean, there's just some cat litter sitting in the bottom that I can't reach to clean out.
Overall great purchase. It's small enough to have in my closet, it's lightweight and easy to use and put together.

I freaking love this thing. It's small but extremely powerful! The soap that comes with it is excellent! When I ran out I bought a gallon of it! The amount of cat hair this thing sucks up is insane! I'm 6 months pregnant and have absolutely no trouble with this thing. It snaps together easy to fill and change water. I wish I could give it 10 stars.

Very effective on apartment carpet. Discovered to do scrubbing of kitchen and bathroom floors. Basic engineering well thought out. Large areas of carpet would be more quickly cleaned by larger machine. For apartment use or cleaning up pet mess, this machine is just right.

I have lots of pets and lots of pet messes. This is how much mess got sucked up after 1 pass with the carpet cleaner. I'm totally impressed!!

---

Had some problems getting it shipped. Some delays, but they did their best to get it here as quick as possible. It arrived all in tact. It works well, is easy to use, and light. I used it once so far to clean a large spill on bedroom carpet and rug. It isn't a multi area cleaner. The tanks aren't very big but to be honest I don't see myself being able to clean more than one room at a time anyway. You will need to fill the tank a couple times for a larger room. I am happy with my purchase so far. Thank you.

Easy or anyone to figure out and use. I have 2 dogs, and even so my carpet looked pretty clean I was shocked how much soiled liquid this cleaner sucked up. I was very impressed with the suction, and it didn’t leave the carpet too wet which was nice. Comes with a small bottle of cleaner. Enough to clean 1 floor of a house.

Its amazing

---

Perfect

---

I really like this except not good for stair fronts.

---

Did an amazing job on my carpet. After 5 years it looks new again and matches the original color in the closets. Well worth the money.

---

For the price I paid it really was a smokin deal.

Great for cleaning small spaces. Good suction and easy to use.
