Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner Machine, Upright Shampooer, FH50150V, Red

We cannot believe how easy this is to use and it contains a large storage tank. Go slow with the cleaning and the results are phenomenal. Thanks Hoover and Amazon.

I have carpet that’s really brand new, only six months old, but because it’s very light, it took stains quickly, even though I had people takeoff their shoes. I couldn’t find a carpet cleaner who would work Highup on a penthouse, so I decided to just buy one and see how it went. I figured I could return it if it didn’t actually work. That’s the thing I like about Amazon. I think the picture speaks for itself. The carpets were badly soiled and you can see on the middle strip where I cleaned only one side, that the clean side is almost like brand new. I’ve never written a review before, but I’m motivated to do this, because it worked beyond my expectations

I like this machine! We previously had a different brand, and we had to take it apart several times to get the suction going again/get it to work at all. It just stopped being worth the hassle. I wont name the brand, because we also had a house dog while we owned that shampooer, and now we dont. So a comparison may not be fair. Some people are complaining about certain things. I dont presume that they dont have valid complaints, but I will address a couple of them from my experience. I will also mention a few things Ive learned. Rusting/freezing up: I have used it probably 5 times, and have not had a problem. I always go over the carpet with just suction when I am done cleaning. I dump the water out of the clean and dirty tanks. I clean the filter and let it, and the dirty water tank, air dry before putting it back together. Maybe these steps help with the rust issue. Leaking: the only leak problem I had was on the first use: the soap dispenser drained completely, after only using it on one small carpet. I knew that was way too much soap (but wow, the carpet was clean!) I contacted customer service online. The guy was sympathetic but said he had never heard of this problem. I said I would try it again to see if it did it again, suspicious that I had done something wrong. My conclusion: user error. When replacing the dirty water tank, there is a lock on the front of the machine. It should snap into place and make a noticeable click when it is correctly placed. When it was not nested correctly, it caused the soap release button to be continuously pressed, causing soap to dispense all the time. So I have not ever had that problem again. Customer service: The rep I spoke with emailed me with a follow-up note, to ask if I was still having problems. I was impressed that he took that step. Since I had fixed my own error, all was well. I did not need further help, so I cant comment on how that might have gone. This cleans well, but Im sure it is not as good as a commercial shampooer. I have found that I may need to spot-treat some stains. For food or pet stains, one or two treatments with a pet stain cleaner with enzymes, prior to shampooing, does wonders. For very dirty, high traffic areas, I hit those first with the wash setting. Then I go over the entire carpet on the wash setting, then rinse well, and one more time with no just suction. I do think that the drying feature seems to dry it more than my previous machine did. My previous machine also had a heater for the clean water. This machine does not. I only fill it with hot water, and it is used up within 15 minutes, so I think this works just fine. One irritation I have is that the tanks never need attention at the same time, and I found myself stopping every five minutes to dump the dirty water, or fill the soap or clean water reservoirs. So now if one tank needs attention, I take both and dump/refill all in one trip. I can keep going longer that way. A very simple fix. There are attachments to use on upholstery or small areas. They are stored in a bag, which is not as convenient as having them all snapped right onto the machine. I have not used them yet, so I cant comment on how well those work. Also, I do not use the Hoover brand of soap. I make my own. I know that this is not recommended, and may void any warranty. Do so at your own risk, but I have not had any problems doing so. This was $130 when I bought it in 2018, and I have used it several times. We dont have a lot of carpet, but ours gets pretty dirty. My nearest place to rent a commercial shampooer is 20 miles away, and it costs $30 per day to rent. I have gotten my moneys worth out of this machine already. I hope it keeps running for a long time, but even if it doesnt, I am a satisfied customer. I am paying for convenience-no trips to pick up and return- as well as cleaning my carpet. If I wanted one to last for years and years, I would not expect to pay this amount. I am sad that some manufactured things these days end up being disposable, but I also dont want to fork over 3-5 times the amount for a more heavy-duty machine.

This carpet/upholstery cleaner is as good if not better than any machine I have ever rented. The carpets felt nearly dry when I finished. Simple to use and compact. I think this may be my new “favorite” household appliance.

You have to buy a squeegee separately for this product and it Keeps the brushes from hitting the floor period without that squeegee it will scratch the floor

no pet hair wrapped around wheels like my old Bissell ..... I just had to pick up a few hair balls almost dreadlock style fireballs from our Golden Retriever...BUT it was better than the Bissell which collected all the fur around the wheels and I had to dig it off..Gross !!!

I rarely write reviews though I always read reviews before making a purchase. So I am going to try to be more diligent about writing them. With so many available options it gets really confusing choosing among them. After hours of research and comparison, I chose this Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Washer. Very glad I did. Like our very small cottage, our berber carpet is 23 years old and has seen lots of wear even though only the stairs, bedroom and bunkroom are carpeted. We built the cottage on our small working farm as a retreat from our hectic town life 20 minutes away. Over the years we have let friends, family members, and friends of family members use it when we were not going to be there. A lot of them seemed not to understand the dual-purpose of welcome mats. Or that shoes are not permanently affixed to the feet and can be removed. Also, we have always had dogs and cats and, naturally, as they age the likelihood of accidents increases. We are now retired and the cottage is now our permanent residence and the pale blue berber carpet is definitely an issue. Despite daily vacuuming and diligent spot cleaning with a little Bissell Mean Green, it was so stained that I do not want to describe it to you. It has been a decade since the last time it was professionally cleaned. We considered replacing the carpet but did not want to have hard flooring in our bedrooms, could not find any carpet we liked and also realized that with 2 older people, 4 older dogs, and 2 young cats in permanent residence and assorted grandchildren visiting, carpet cleaning would frequently be needed anyway. So, the Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Washer arrived, my grandson easily assembled it ready for use. I did pretreat the worst of the stains with Hoover Platinum Collection Professional Strength Instant Stain Remover spray which I keep on hand and have used many times before and still had the stains, but thought it couldnt hurt, so why not? I used the hottest tap water and emptied the dirty water tank so many times I lost count. It took 4 or 5 hours to clean the small carpeted areas because even when the carpet looked clean on the surface, I wanted to make sure it was as clean as possible before I collapsed from exhaustion. Having the choice to switch between wash and rinse settings was a tremendous help as the cleaning solution and clean water are separated and only mix when you want them to. I alternated between wash and rinse repeatedly and then ended with rinse as suggested in the operating manual. The carpet does not look brand new but it does look and smell clean, really clean! I am amazed! There are still a few faint stains but think they may be helped when cleaned again. So convenient to have the cleaner on hand to use whenever needed. It is very easy to take apart the parts that need to be cleaned after use. I would let them dry completely before putting them back together. The cleaning solution worked great but you will need more than the 16oz bottle that comes with the machine. Amazons subscribe and save feature lowers the cost of the solution and you decide how often you want them to send a bottle. I use the subscribe and save a lot. It is convenient to have exactly what you need delivered to your door exactly when you need it. I am older and have MS so the Carpet Washer is a little on the heavy side and I had a bit of difficulty getting it up the stairs empty so I would not attempt to carry it up the stairs with water in it. It does have 2 carry handles which made it easier to carry. This may not be an issue for most people. I did collapse before I was able to do the stairs so I cannot yet say whether those particular attachments work as well as the upright machine itself. I will try to update this review when I do the stairs. I will also need to use the attachments to clean the perimeter of the rooms as there is a 1-2 line around the carpet that the upright could not reach.

Love, love, love this carpet cleaner! Does an outstanding job on my apartment carpets. I even used it on my apartment complex hallway carpet and stairs, which were filthy. Looks like new now! Lightweight, easy to use, easy to clean. Uses very little water and definitely sucks up what is sprayed onto carpet. Carpet dries withi 20 min. Have used it for two years. No issues.

No funciona la dispensación de jabón de la parte de atrás de la maquina

Very impressed with the depth of cleaning that it performed
