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

Really liked this product; its perfect for small rugs and steps. Suction power is great, and it comes with a small bottle of cleaner, too. Easy to use. My only complaint is that when you are all done with it and put it away, whatever little bit of water is left in the container (its nearly impossible to get it bone dry) leaks out of the bottom of the machine. We put a cloth underneath it to soak it up. Otherwise great machine.

Put the item together following instructions. Started to test it on one of my carpets.Pushed the trigger and NO water came out.I rechecked everything and tried again with no luck Ive never had a problem with Hoover products until now Very disappointing. Money wasted and now Ill have to rent a carpet cleaner to do my carpets--more money. Cant send it back for a refund because you cant get the handle pole out after it snaps in.Don t waste your money on this one. UPDATE. I was able to return the carpet cleaner after talking with a great customer service employee She told me how to pack it for return. Amazon shipped me a new one in exchange without any problems .I tested the cleaner and it did a great job. Trust customer service to help you through any problems Super service...

I hesitated giving this 5 stars because there are a couple of issues but then it does do an excellent job getting spots out the professionals I have had did not get out. My issues are: the cord mounted on the motor (I suppose thats where it needs to be) is totally in the way. You have to hold it to keep it out of the way. They should have a clip or something to mount it on the upper handle. The other problem is it doesnt dry as well as the manufacturer says. And it will drip a little if you stop for minute. You will need to give your carpet time to dry completely.

Overall it’s a great product. The only thing bothering me is the fact that I have to fill in the water and clean the filter every 2 or 3 minutes. I Would have liked it to go a bit longer. Beside that small drawback, it’s definitely worth every single penny. It works great, super easy to maneuver, and cleans deep dirt. This is 5 years of dirt that I just cleaned. I’m so happy and feel so good to have a clean carpet. I ran out of cleaning solution and had to stop the cleaning session, but the result is great so far.

I have 3 dogs, one of which has recently had a stroke & suffers from incontinence. This carpet cleaner has made a huge difference in getting my carpets all the way clean and spot cleaning as well. HIGHLY recommend!!

We loved this cleaner. It fit our needs perfectly cleaning up after 3 cats, which if you know you know they like to use carpet for certain things. We have limited rugs in our house, but used this several times a month. Beat bending over and scrubbing, stored nicely in closet. However, it was hard to clean. The nozzles had build up and getting them out could have been easier. The brush roll area was accessible but not easy to wipe out, so disassembling and cleaning was the only route. Unfortunately, the motor bearing failed a short time later. It had been making a shrill noise for a while, and I guess it eventually let go. The motor end gets wet from water mist from the tank, and I would guess it gets into the bearing. This is understandable, but we would have liked it to last longer, 2.5 years seems short (purchased Nov 2020, died June 3 23)

I own an elderly dog who now has bladder control issues I was looking for a carpet cleaner that could effectively clean up her spots. When I tell you this hoover carpet cleaner is the best carpet cleaner ive ever used I am not kidding. Not only is it incredibly strong super effective and very lightweight its affordable it costs under $100 when I purchased it it was 89. It did such a good job cleaning spots I actually have cleaned all of my carpets in my house with it and they have never looked this good. I have had carpet cleaning services come to the house I have rented rug doctors none of them lifted the dirt and grime out of my carpet like this small mighty machine. It does have a small water reservoir because its intended for spot cleaning but it can be used on all of your carpet it just takes more trips to the sink. I have never purchased a product that I like better from hoover this thing is incredible I highly highly recommend it.

I love this carpet cleaner! Im disabled, but this is so easy to use and does a good job, lightweight and easy to maneuver.. I keep the recommended carpet cleaner in the canister, and I just use it as necessary. Its great! (and Im a pretty hard to please). Give it a try, its wonderful.

I have never used a carpet cleaner like this before so I have no idea if it is better or worse than others. I bought this to clean the carpet in my apartment because I didn’t feel like vacuuming alone got it clean. I was right, this cleaner pulls a whole lot of nastiness out of carpet. The biggest surprise was how much hair my top-of-the-line vacuum misses. This cleaner easily gathers up the excess hair and fuzz and turns it into wads of gray chewed-up looking clots that resemble rat fur. Very disgusting, but helpful since most of it doesn’t get tangled in the inside of the cleaner. After using it several times, I found the best way to get an area clean was to spray it going forward and backward and then to run the cleaner over each area around 15 times for minimal dampness. I cleaned all the carpeted areas of my apartment with it twice and the water was still pretty cloudy. The solution reservoir doesn’t hold much—it’s enough to do half a mid-sized bedroom and then you are on to the next debacle—cleaning it. Cleaning the cleaner is by far the worst part. Debris gets caught up in the housing around the roller and while you can take it apart to clean it, you have to remove some screws and it is a pain. The dirty water reservoir is hard to empty. There is a handy little strainer that looks like a coffee k-cup that you can pop out and rinse off so that is handy. The downside is that you have to empty and refill the cleaner a lot unless you’re just using it for a small space or a rug. It came with a sample of pet odor neutralizing cleaning solution and that is what I purchased for continued use and I do not care for it. It smells vaguely like floor cleaner but mostly like pencil lead. It did neutralize the pet odor after two uses—I had an elderly cat who had a few accidents in the last days of her life. I doubt this would make much difference if there had been more urine or a stronger urine odor. The smell dissipated over 12 hours with the window open and fans on to dry the carpet completely. This mentions stairs—I could not use it on my standard-size carpeted stairs. It is bulky and can’t cover the whole stair going side to side, and there isn’t enough suction to dry them out if you try to go at them from the front. For the love of dog, do NOT add the solution to the reservoir before the water. The instructions explicitly say to add it last and there is a reason for that. Overall, I would say the product works okay but if I had it to do over again I would have just had professionals come and clean the carpets for me. I can’t wait to move somewhere with no carpet!

This little carpet cleaner got up so much old pet hair from our carpets! I vacuumed before using and the amount of crap it pulled up is crazy. Very lightweight, easy to use, and easy to store.
