Hoover PowerDash Pet Compact Carpet Cleaner, Shampooer Machine, Lightweight, FH50700, Blue

This particular version of the Hoover line of carpet cleaners is truly a 5-star product because every aspect of it, from design to operation and maintenance, appears to have been successfully thought through and seemingly improved from what I read about earlier or less expensive models. This model is great for cleaning up small areas with pet messes or dirt. Its not meant to be a whole-house solution (like the Bissell Green Machine), but it does what it advertises. Its lightweight and easy to maneuver; it is easy to fill the cleaning tank with water and cleaning fluid; its super-easy to see how much cleaning solution is left because its made of clear plastic. Emptying the dirty water tank and removing the brush roll cover are not quite as graceful but work reasonably well. The model comes with really good accessories, including a brush cleaning tool and very helpfully, an attachment that enables the cleaning of stairs. Hoover has created very good, to-the-point YouTube videos explaining how to operate the cleaner, how to clean it, and also another video on advanced maintenance.

The handle for the upholstery cleaner was hard to attach. You had to force it on to make the fluid flow through the hose to the brush trigger. Once we got it to work, it worked well, but I fear that it may break in the near future seeing how much force I had to use to connect the hose...I wish there was a larger compartment for the cleaning fluid and the catchment container...

We had stains on our carpet from pets. We would spot clean, but it never completely removed the stains. So I decided to try this Hover Power Dash Pet Carpet Cleaner and Im so glad I did. It has restored our carpet to its original state - utterly amazing. I only gave it 4 stars because of the cumbersome way to clean all the parts. Some areas required having to take the screws off. Other than that, we were so satisfied. Some of these stains were years old and now they are gone. Great product and liquid solution.

I didn’t realize how big it was and I have a small apartment. I was wondering if I can replace it with a smaller one and when delivered pick up the one I have. I’m new at this so thought I would check. Thank Youize

This little machine is awesome on pet stains, as it cleans carpets thoroughly. It’s a small machine. Ideally for area rugs or other small areas. Takes about three hours and five refills/empties to clean the entirety of a bout 600sqft. Breaks down compactly (handle removable) to fit into small spaces. All in all, I’ve been super impressed with this machine, it’s been a lifesaver in my apartment with my elderly dog that sometimes has accidents.
