Hoover SmartWash Pet XL Upright Carpet Cleaner Machine for Carpet and Upholstery, Automatic Deep Cleaning Carpet Shampooer, Converts to Spot Cleaner, Pair with Hoover Carpet Cleaner Solution

This carpet shampooer is amazing. It’s not as heavy as others and the double beater bars are a great add. The cleaning of the machine and easy & it’s nice how you can legit take everything out and clean it all. The suction of this machine in dry mode is strong!! It only took my carpets less than an hour and a half to dry! The size is good and is easy to carry. It’s easy to use as it is a smartwash machine so it dispenses the solution automatically as you push the machine and when you pull it back- it auto switches to dry as well as has a button that can make it all the way dry mode for extra dryness. I did my staircase and carpets and the pictures speak for themselves! This machine is the BOMB!! Worked awesome of my high traffic areas as well!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this. If I wasn’t engaged I’d marry this! It’s easy to use. It works amazingly. My carpet dried so quickly! I had a rug doctor but it was bulky and always hurt my back when I used it. It was hard to push. This one is so smooth and effortless and so worth the price. It’s also so easy to clean! The pieces come off so I can get the dirt and grime making cleaning off the bristles effortlessly.

It took a long time to do a 12x13 room but I anticipated this. As multiple reviewers recommended, take the time! Prep your area first. Vacuum slowly and thoroughly in at least 2 different directions to pull up loose dirt and hair. Now, with your Hoover loaded and ready, go slow with forward wash, even slower on pullback dry. Rinse out your collection unit as needed and reassemble. Now do a water only rinse, again slow forward and even slower pullback. Rinse out the collection unit if needed and reassemble again. Now follow this with dry only. Set up a fan and walk away for a while. You'll come back to soft, dry, fluffy carpet again. You need only push and pull. I was shocked at how dirty my carpet was. Cannister after cannister emptied of filthy black water, even after the water rinse, so I really should have gone over it again for a second scrub or maybe even a third if it was still pulling up filth. It was THAT dirty, but as my house was wrecked from my haphazard clearing of the room for cleaning, I was desperate for a return to order and skipped a second scrub session. I put a fan in the room while I stepped out for dinner and returned to dry carpet, soft and fluffy again under bare feet and no smells, despite knowing in the back of my mind that it really should have been cleaned a second time. But I'll deal with that later. Fact remains, this Hoover is a really good cleaning machine. It pulled up animal stains and ground in dirt in the high traffic area. Yes, I could have had professionals come in and clean that carpet in far, far less time but the wrecked house and inconvenience would have been the same. Plus, as I have elderly animals and that room is high traffic anyway, cleaning is needed frequently now and once I clean the next room, this unit will have paid for itself. So far, this has been a good purchase. Particularly pleasing is to be able to disassemble the head piece and remove the brushes and clear plastic cover to rinse clean. A previous competitor unit I had a few years ago could not be cleaned like that, which was disgusting, and I threw it out after only a couple of uses. This Hoover can be fully rinsed out very, very easily so no stinky, gross, dripping unit to sit in your laundry room. Oh and DO buy extra solution. I did not do this, thinking the sample would be enough for the 2 rooms I planned, and I've used up almost that whole bottle just on the 1 room. But then again, I didn't realize just how incredibly dirty my carpet was either, so that was lack of hindsight on my part, certainly not the Hoover eating up cleaning fluid. If you prefer to skip the cost of professionals and have the patience, you'll have great results on your floors with this carpet cleaner and like others said, it pays for itself after 2 professional cleanings.

First off, I used to have the power scrub Hoover with the spin brushes so most of my review will be comparing this one to that one. I think Hoover is a great brand with an excellent warranty and good customer service. If I could give this machine a 4.5 I would (because nothing is perfect right). Off the bat I noticed this one was smaller, however it is just shorter and ground coverage is maybe slightly wider than my old one. I love the brushes, I feel like it gets a better clean. It is super lightweight but that doesn’t take away from the suction, which i must add is quite strong. I love that this one has a plastic filter instead of those foam crappy ones. I will say it seems to use an insane amount of soap and water which is good for a deep clean, but if you’re wanting to do a light clean maybe just spray the area with a pump sprayer first and save your soap. The tanks seem to be smaller but I don’t really mind making the extra trips. I like that the soap is separate from the water tank, it seemed like the soap would leak into the water tank on my old one which was a pain. On that note I was worried about not having a rinse option on this one but you simply pop the soap tank off and rinse away. I also love not having to use a trigger, with this feature and the amount of water it uses it actually seemed to have saved a lot of time & aches while getting a better clean. I used the Hoover pet carpet cleaner which I usually wouldn’t do and I’m pleasantly surprised at how well it works & leaves a nice clean scent. Dry time is pretty fast as long as you take your time and use the dry only option. Overall I’m very happy with this product and look forward to taking advantage of it’s easy use. Thanks Hoover you did it again!

This was the best and best meant I've made. It works absolutely great and it deep cleans easy to maneuver. Gets a little heavy once all the water is filled but works great. Very easy to clean

I'm very impressed with this unit. It's easy to put together out of the box. The only parts that need to be installed are those that will need to be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning after use, so by putting it together, you're learning how to use the machine. There's no mixing of solution and water. A separate container holds the cleaner. A small bottle is included and after cleaning two area rugs there is still enough left to do the same rugs again. The machine is very easy to use. You simply put the cleaner in the small container and water in the large bottom container, plug it in and turn it on. While pushing slowly ahead, water and solution goes into the rug. Pulling back sucks up the water while the rubber-like beater brushes knock dirt from the rug fibres. It's shocking to see the dirty water coming into the tank. When finished with washing, a push of the button puts the machine into the dry cycle. No water is used while the machine sucks up as much moisture as possible, leaving the rug damp. It dries quickly after that. When finished, the water tank and collection tank are emptied and rinsed clean and the beater brushes are removed and cleaned. It's a must to put the unit away clean and ready for the next use. I love my new machine and deciding to purchase it was easy. I had rented one of the steam cleaners available in some stores and found it to be very heavy and awkward and did a poor job but was expensive at half the price of purchasing my new Bissel. I knew that using the Bissel twice would be the price of a rental. Any use after that is free. Can you tell I'm VERY happy with my Bissel?? I recommend it.

BRILLIANT! My husband uses it as he enjoys using something new, hope he doesn't tire of it as I enjoy not having to do it. He says its the best carpet cleaner he has ever tried and so easy to use. The rooms smell so clean and fresh after he does them with this cleaner so I love it too. we have had carpets cleaned professionally and it takes a couple of days to dry and smells awful. The Hoover smart wash leaves the carpet clean and nearly dry, IT ALSO GETS ALL THE CATS HAIR UP. when you go forward it washes the carpet and when you pull back it dries. when finished you can put it on the dry cycle and dry it even more. HE SAYS ITS VERY EASY TO CLEAN AS WELL. As He says BRILLIANT! Lorraine Australia

Una muy buena máquina para lavar alfombras, Hoover es garantía, muy bien empacada, ya la usamos para lavar una sala y quedo muy bien, fácil de armar, buena potencia, use el shampo que viene en la caja y considero que para que quede bien la lavada hay que utilizarlo, no sabía que viene concentrado por lo que hay que diluirlo con un poco de agua, se me acabo rápido y le puse jabón de trastes, vinagra y un poco de bicarbonato pero no limpio del todo bien, así es que invertí un poco más y pedí el Galón de shampo del mismo que viene con la máquina, Recomendable.
