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

Let me say first that this is my time owning a carpet cleaner so keep that in mind. The room will get hot and humid but Im guessing thats normal for this or I just overdid it because of how nasty the carpet squares were in the basement. It would be nice if the tanks on it were bigger but I know that would make it even more heavy so I understand why theyre a gallon each. The power cord might be a bit short too but they might all be this long. Make sure to use a proper high suction vacuum on the carpet beforehand. Go in each direction twice all over the carpet so that all the junk in the carpet is removed and doesnt end up in the carpet cleaner as well as the cleaner having to clean it instead of just cleaning the carpet. Pros: The unit does a very good job cleaning the floor and the dirty water tank is easy to empty as well as snap back in. The water/soap tank being in one unit is very nice and its removal is easy as well. I havent used the attachments yet so I cant comment on them but will update later once I do. I used Oxiclean the first time with white vinegar to clean and it did a good job and I just used a pet order cleaner/remover and that did a great job too. There wasnt much to put together when it arrived so that was nice. The pour spout on the front of the dirty water tank is excellent at dumping the rubbish water quickly. Taking the dirty water tank apart to clean is quick and easy and rinsing it out is pretty quick too once you learn what angles to have the water shoot in as you rotate it. The flip up connector that holds the dirty water tank in is quick to work if you just pull up on it with a flick and let it flop down and out of the way. Even though only two screws hold in the handle I have pulled it around and torqued on it getting it to hit certain areas and its rock solid still. This is after 20 hours of use. I had used it over 4 hours in a few a few times while trying to clean the basement. I did have to go up and down the stairs a lot to dump, rinse and fill but thats still a long time of pretty much direct use. It does a very good job of sucking up the water to the point that when all of the soap has been rinsed out of the carpet that there isnt much moisture to suck up. The carpet is a bit damp but not soggy and when you run the unit over it you cant really see anything being sucked up besides a tiny amount of liquid barely sliding up the dirty water tank lid where it enters on top. The price is very nice too after looking at all of the options. Spending more on a cleaner doesnt mean its better or will last longer, thats why I got from all of the reviews here and other legit sites. It really does clean edge to edge of the cleaner because of the brush and vacuum design up front. Cons: The unit is heavy and when you pull back slowly it wants to slide away from the wall slightly so you have to press the side to keep it up against it. Im not sure if its leaking because running one of these creates water everywhere from dumping and loading. The power lever on the base is too small to get with the top leaned back. It really need to have a function to turn off the scrubbers and also to turn off the suction independently. Latching the dirty water tank back up is annoying because as you flip the latch up to lock it in there are times it would miss the edge of the dirt water tank and get stuck up and next to it so its a pain to pop back out and then try to latch it again. This is after everything on the cleaner is wet and dumping it a lot during use. When you press the power button you can see the water that was being sucked up bubble down to the carpet and can see its wet when you move it. The water/soap trigger is not far enough back in the handle and the handle is huge like they made that part for Andre the Giant. After a long time of using it my fingers started to get tired because of this. I dont know if this typical of these machines but it is crazy loud. I use my active noise cancelling earbuds when using it and its still loud, the high pitched part is what gets me. When there is too much foam in the dirty tank the overflow floater pops up and you have to tilt the dirty water tank back to get a few extra passes and then dump it with the container only being half full of water. You have to angle the vacuum piece just at the proper angle to slide it back in after removing it to clean the fuzz filter for the vacuum part of it.

I use this to deep clean my house, I have several rooms and stairs with carpets, and havent been deep cleaned for a while, with some noticeable stains on them. I bought this machine as well as the most powerful Hoover carpet cleaner I can find. It did clean the carpet for the rooms, but it will need some other carpet spot cleaner to soak the dirty spot first, then do multiple (3 to 5) passes to make it clean, and another maybe 3 passes with clean water and suctions only, then another 3 passes with suctions only to finish the clean without too much cleaner and water left in the carpet. This seems due to the brush and the suction are both not powerful enough. Also, its impossible to clean the corner of the wall with the regular head. The tool for stairs and corners has more issue for cleaning power, so it will take some effort to get the work done. However, as it gets the work done at last, I will still give a 3.5 stars here. Round up to 4 stars as its holiday season :-)

Pros: My background.. 2 people, no kids, 8 year old Carpets. Did what it said, removed all stains, dirt and poo and pee. Used Hover deep clean and restore. My case this completed the job with some to spare. 3 bed rooms average size 14x14 and 3 rugs 2-8x10 and 1-5x7. This thing really picked up a lot of dirt! Water was black!! Carpets are clean with no stains this beats paying a company to rip you off (no naming)!!! Cons: Kind of cheap all plastic and you need a philips screwdriver to complete. Had to fill and empty containers about twice per room. Other than that it works!

Very impressed with the depth of cleaning that it performed

If you have pets in your house, this is the best thing you can buy! After cleaning all the carpets they look brand new and the rooms smell amazing! We even had visits who asked if our carpets where new.

We bought this cleaner to replace an older carpet cleaner that had literally fallen apart. We have stairs in our house, and we found the extension wand and hose does a nice job of cleaning pet stains on stairs and landings. The unit is fairly light. I wish it had a handle at the mid point of the machine to make it easy to carry between stairs. My biggest complaint is that the cleaning liquids are extremely expensive. But it gets the job done.

I should have looked into it more. My previous cleaner had an option for heat. This one does not. But runs fine. Gets the job done.

Simply love it. Really cleaned the carpets well. Took away those lingering smells from pets.

After I finished the dirty water was as black as printers ink and the carpet was beige not brown. I used the cleaner again the following week. The dirty water was grey this time, so progress on this filthy carpet. I found out later that this carpet hadnt been washed in 22 years! I will use the cleaner again in a couple more days, and when I expect 22 years of dirt will be vanquished completely. I highly recommend this product; its the best.

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
