There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As you can probably imagine, in the weeks following TwinkleBelles' stroke, she was unable to get to her potty papers and pretty much didn't have control of her elimination. She normally is absolutely perfect about going potty on the paper. I am going to be honest in telling you that my carpet turned into a nightmare from heck. With the enormity of the ongoing Vet bills and what happened to my car at Honda there is NO WAY that I could afford to replace the carpet.
Professional carpet cleaners just wanted WAY too much money. My experience with them has not always been so great anyway because they usually hook up their equipment to the outside spigot, which does not have softened water and the carpet will look clean for a couple of days and then the dirt just resurfaces again. A big giant waste of money.
After researching the living crap (pun intended) out of various carpet cleaners, I found this absolutely fantastic machine and I am AMAZED at the wonderful job that it did. It took the mess out of the carpet and the carpet is nice and soft again and the stains are all gone. There was no leakage, like carpet cleaners usually have, and the carpet dried within scant hours. I waited over a week to even say anything about it or even make a review because my experience with carpet cleaners is that the stains come back. They actually have been REMOVED by this carpet cleaner and have NOT returned. They are GONE and I evidenced this by putting water on a portion of the previously very highly stained areas and sucking it up and it is clear so the stains have actually been removed. YAY! That is VERY unusual for a carpet cleaner to accomplish so this one is an absolute winner.
Not only did it cost less than professional carpet cleaning but I still have the machine and it will work on upholstery and work to spot clean as well so it has already paid for itself. Well, more accurately my credit card has paid for it 😑. I have not been able to return to work because of the cancer treatment problems but at least I have a clean carpet now. 😁 Also, even though she is quite cognizant of her environment now and getting to her papers, I do not have to worry about any potential issues because it came with a 5-year warranty. YAY 🙂
I'm confident that I am not the only one that has ever had to deal with this issue so I wanted to share my finding with you in case the situation either exists in your home or happens in the future. I have had a lot of carpet cleaners before but NONE that were this efficient. It is important to note that I am NOT being commissioned or otherwise paid in any way whatsoever. I am simply trying to be a helpful PetMommy to anyone that may be experiencing trying to clean pet problems out of the carpet. BTW, I spilled her liquid iron supplement, the whole darn bottle tipped over when I was giving it to her one morning, it actually pulled that right out of the carpet in just a couple of passes after I gave up trying to scrub it out for the last few weeks manually. Iron is horrific to try to get out of carpet because it is very dark brownish red and stains horrendously. This took it right out. I used OxiClean carpet shampoo for that.
Again, it has been well over a week since I used the cleaner and the stains have not returned and the carpet still feels very soft and plushy again. The purple one that I reference is the most recent model. Amazon had the best price on it at the time of my purchase and I am very pleased.
I must also add that it is extremely easy to clean it. The brushes pop right off so that you can clean them easily and the compartments come out very easily. This ensures that you will be able to maintain your new cleaner quite well and is probably why Hoover is able to offer the Five-Year warranty.
I am very pleased with my purchase. It has actually already paid for itself in just one use.
1. Use warm water in the clean water tank.
2. Use the concentrated detergent in the detergent bottle. No diluting necessary which is time saving. I managed to clean 3 12’x12’, 1 20’x10’, 1 20’x15’, and 1 10’x10’, and a hallway with the sample bottle and 5 oz. of detergent from the gallon I bought.
3. When you are cleaning/rinsing, the machine dispenses soap/water when you push forward. Go slowly but not so slow that you oversaturate the area. It has indicators at the brush head that say “wash” when you go forward. If the area is not a heavy traffic area or soiled then 1-2 “wash” pass(es) was good enough.
4. When you are extracting, the indicator will say “dry”. This happens when you pull back over the area. I found that pulling back slower than when you dispensed cleaner/water worked great to get good extraction.
5. To rinse, remove the detergent container. This is why I didn’t run out of detergent. Now you only dispense warm water to rinse the carpet. Same operation of slower on the pull to extract than the push to dispense. Do this until the water you see coming in at the brush head looks less soapy. Again, don’t oversaturate the carpet. Probably only need a couple passes.
6. Once rinsed, press the “dry only” button near the handle. Love this feature. I spent more time with this than washing/rinsing. Again, slower on the pull. Work the section until you don’t see water coming in at the brush head. My carpets were dry after about 1 hour if you spend time getting it out. I also put a box fan to circulate air to the room when I was done with it. When you are ready to go to the next section, press the “dry only” button again to disengage it and re-insert the detergent bottle. It will reset when you turn the machine off too, but I usually kept it on and kept moving unless I needed to empty the dirty water or refill the clean.
7. When you empty the dirty container, rinse the whole thing out including the non-removable red screen and lid. Make sure you put the two tabs at the back of the lid into the slots first then close the lid and latch it (see pics). When you put the container back onto the machine, put the bottom in at an angle in the front then push into position (see pic). You did it right when you hear a click. Doesn’t need forcing at all. I had no leaks if it was seated properly and clicked. Also, periodically rinse out the brush head cover. It comes off easily and gets full of hair and lint. The suction will work better if you keep it clean. When you put it back on, align the two tabs near the latch with the slots. (see pics) Drop it in first then push to click. No need to force.
8. My unit came with the hose and an attachment for stairs. The attachment has two brushes included. I used the rubber one to help pull up dog hair. The hose reached 7 treads. The head has a trigger to spray soap/water. Same operation-spray detergent onto carpet (I was able to do 3 treads at a time with my reach). Drawback is trudging back down the stairs to remove the detergent container to rinse. Spray water while suctioning a few times then just suction. It did a very good job. Had to move the machine to the landing to finish but not a big deal. If a problem for you or you have more treads than it can reach, then a handheld small cleaner may be better.
9. Clean up was very easy. Rinsing out the containers, removing the brush head cover and brushes was a snap. Let it all dry before storing and it will be ready.
10. Lastly, a back-saver tip. Keep the area's you're cleaning to about 3 feet of reach in front and as wide as you want by moving left or right. Don’t overextend forward. Pull while standing up straight not bending your back. This is a slow process. It’s nice that I now have a machine and can keep up with it more regularly than the “once a year “ rental.

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.

Cosas importantes:
AL LAVAR:
- Super fácil de usar, cuando la empujas lava, cuando la jalas seca, si quieres enjuagar nada más quitas el depósito de jabón y listo. Si solo quieres secar tiene un botón que cuando lo accionas evita que libere el agua con jabón.
- El cepillo para lavar manualmente se conecta muy fácilmente y quita de manera impresionante las manchas al tallar, tiene un gatillo para que tú liberes el agua con jabón a tu gusto y necesidad. Este cepillo es muy útil para esquinas pues la máquina no llega a esos lugares.
- Tiene un cable de 6 metros, lo cual para mí fue muy útil ya que tengo contactos por toda la casa. No tuve la necesidad de usar extensiones.
DESPUÉS DE LAVAR:
- Es fácil de limpiar ya que se le pueden quitar fácilmente varias piezas, la cubierta de los cepillos, los cepillos, el depósito para el agua limpia, el depósito para el agua sucia y el depósito para el shampoo, por lo tanto eso la hace fácil de limpiar y conservar.
-Los cepillos son potentes, limpian maravillosamente bien.
MUY IMPORTANTE: usar un buen shampoo es indispensable.

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
