Hoover SteamVac - Upright Vacuum SpinScrub - F5914-900 Review Summary

Hoover SteamVac - Upright Vacuum SpinScrub - F5914-900 "is so great, I can't stop cleaning my rugs!" It would take a really great steam vacuum to produce that kind of statement from consumers, and this Hoover seems to live up to the claim. Much credit is given to the five spin brushes on this upright that "really do a great cleaning job" and "the optional spin brush upholstery tool works great" too. Not only does it work well, but this Hoover SteamVac "is easy to use, is really quite quiet, and is not heavy or bulky." In addition, the carpets dry out in a matter of a few hours. Reviewers that have illnesses such as asthma need something that will do a complete job often, and feel the F5914-900 does the job. Many consumers stuck with the brand name, always having better luck than with other brands.

The Hoover SpinScrub Steam Cleaner lives up to the hype.

I borrowed a couple of steam cleaners before buying this one.  They just didn't live up to the job.   The five spin brushes really do a great cleaning job.  The optional spin brush upholstry tool works great. 

My stairs were really filthy and...

I have had this machine three different times. We had bought it from Best Buy with the insurance, thankfully. We had to return it three times and the last time I just went with Bissell. There are many things that if they go wrong with this machine it will not run. Some of these are just small plastic... read full review »

This is my second Hoover Steam Cleaner and I like this better than the first one.  It does an excellent job, is easy to use, is really quite quiet, and is not heavy or bulky.  My carpets look better than when I first moved in (even though they said that they were clean).  Because I have asthma, I must clean more often that many others and this does the job that I need to have done.  I do not have to worry about wet carpets for days.  The suction is so good that within a few hours or overnight at the most, my carpets are dry and ready for furniture and feet.

I am an Industrial Engineer.  Just to give you a point of reference.  After each usage, vac was cleaned and dried before storage.  Used about every 2 weeks for spot cleaning and sometinmes 1-2 rooms. No pet hair. No excessive dirt or debris to clean up.  First, the lower corners can not withstand normal impact with chair legs or the occasional furniture bump without cracking. Repair shop wanted $70.00 for new parts.  Pah! 5 min epoxy and carbon cloth to repair and reinforce. Held up better than before. 4 months later, the holding tank started leaking and had spiderweb cracks everywhere. Bought...

This steam cleaner gets the job done the first time. You can visibly see the difference the first time you use it - we did when we moved into our house and the previous owner had the carpets cleaned but the hoover was able to get a lot of debatable areas even cleaner. Dries quickly as the hoover has great suction and pick most of the water up as you go.

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...

I bought a house that has carpet all over the house. First I think I should call for the cleaning service but after I got the price then I decided to buy the steaemvac. This Hoover Steamvac did help me a lot beause of the spinscrubs help for the deep cleaning it also helps me from dust allergy. I really like this product.

We have this Hoover steam vacume. .  My husband will actualy use it to help me around the house as I am cleaning.  We got a great buy on it too.

I have had it for a few years now and have had no problms with it at all.

It is very simple to use,  and it  cleans very well    and almost dries too !

I would buy it again,  because it works well and is easy to push around.  I have some minor back problems, and I must  admit some of the vacume cleaners I have had in the past have not  been good for these back problms which I have.  But so far, this  Hoover Steam Vac has done an exelent...

I love my Hoover steam vac because it makes big messes on the carpet "no big deal". When I didn't have one, a dropped glass of juice was a major problem. With the steam vac, a dropped glass of juice is just an opportunity to steam clean the rug. It's easy to use and a lot less expensive than renting. I also don't like renting because then you get other people's dirt (and often these are rented for vomit and urine issues) into your house. Gross!

I bought this steam cleaner because I have 2 young children who play on the floor alot.  I wanted something easy to use, that I could pull out frequently and run often.  I use my machine on average every 3 weeks.  And even at that frequency I dump out some pretty nasty looking water.  I love that the carpets dry quickly after I am done, that is the key.  If they didnt dry fast than I would know that it wasnt getting all the water sucked back up.  I end up getting the change in pitch letting me know that the dirty water tank needs emptied way before I've run out of clean water.

The attachments...

This is a good machine when it works.  I've only had the machine for a year and I've already had to replace the brush block twice.  In addition, the compartment where the cleaning fluid goes has lost it's seal and cleaner fluid leaks out all over the place.  Would probably not recommend this cleaner to anyone else.

When our Hoover shampooer finally died two weeks ago, I knew that it had lived a good life.  It lasted through ten years 3 kids and 2 dogs, not to mention my husband who is unusually messy.  Anyway, i headed  H & H Gregg over the weekend to check on possible replacements as I wanted to do our family room carpet.  The Steamvac was on sale at a great price which attracted me.  We have always had good luck with our Hoover products and I wanted to stay with this line.  When I brought it home, I was amazed how lightweight the box was...thus the equipment would be lightweight.  I did our family... read full review »

I bought my Hoover steam vac at a garage sale for $20.00. They said they only used it a few times and it looked brand new. My mom has the same Hoover steam vac.

  The five spin brushes really do a great job. The optional spin brush upholstery tool works great. I have a nine year old, a three year old, and a 1yr old plus 1 dog, so messes happen all the time. The steam cleaner unit isn't too heavy and doesn't over wet the carpet when cleaning.  It really sucks up most of the solution it puts down and the carpet dries very quickly.  It cleaned most of the stains that had been on my carpet and...

I have never owned a steamvac before and I wish I bought this sooner!  You do have to have patience, make sure you go over the same spot slooooowly to get up all the excess water, otherwise you'll have wet carpet for a while and the floor will get dirty faster from the soap residue, but that's going to be the case with all carpet cleaners.  I love how the vacuum stops picking up water when the tank gets full so you never end up with a mess.  True, you have to put your back into it (like all steamvacs) go over the carpet slowly to pick up all the water (like all steamvacs) and keep emptying the... read full review »

This product never stops amazing me. The Hoover Spinscrub finds dirt you didn't even know existed in your environment.  You think your home is clean and then in a couple of passes of the Hoover you find out what's really lurking in your carpet.  The brushes really help to loosen tough stains and the whole product in general is sort of self-explanatory to use.  I have one dog and two cats and it actually picks up bunches of pet hair as well as dirt and that's after a thorough vacuuming.  Another plus for me would be the nice size tanks.  This keeps you from having to constantly fill and empty... read full review »
