Hoover SteamVac - Upright Vacuum SpinScrub - F5914-900 Review

I dreaded cleaning my carpets but this Hoover Steamvac makes it soooo easy.  First off, let me say that, thanks to this site, I was able to determine that others have used a vinegar/water solution as a replacement for detergents and that's what I did, as I've 2 cats.

It did not take out every stain the first time I went over them, but they were gone the next time so I'm more than satisfied.  The tanks are very easy to get on and off this machine which, for me, is a real plus.  The dirty water tank does fill up faster than the cleaner tank empties, so I just put in less cleaner and the the tanks were ready for changing at the same time.  I figure that because this machine does such a wonderful job sucking out the dirty water, that tank fills up fairly fast.  I couldn't believe how quickly the carpet dried after I'd finished the cleaning.  I was able to replace furniture in like an hour on hot days so I wasn't forced to climb over tables and couches for long.  (Of course the cats were ticked that I dismantled their new obstacle course so in such a short time, but that's their problem, not mine.)

I also like how easy it is to remove, clean, and replace the spinning brushes.  Even after a thorough vacuuming, there were cat hairs embedded in the carpet which were pulled up by the brushes.

I would definitely recommend this Hoover Steamvac to anyone who asks.
