Hoover FH52000 SmartWash Automatic Carpet Cleaner with Storage Mat, Plastic, Turquoise

120 volt not for UK

I'm very impressed with this unit. It's easy to put together out of the box. The only parts that need to be installed are those that will need to be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning after use, so by putting it together, you're learning how to use the machine. 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.

I’ve been cleaning my own carpets forever! Previously, a professional carpet steam cleaner in my wasted youth, I know what companies put into carpets to make them “appear” clean. Anyway, this model has many improvements, but I was leery about the automatic water/wash feature. It works extremely well! I do like the “dry only” option to ensure the carpet is not getting too much water. The filling with fresh water and the emptying out the dirty water is so much easier now. Both fresh and dirty tank capacities have increased, so not as many stops between cleaning. I disliked the old model’s dirty tank and how you could never get it fully rinsed. This machine seems a bit lighter and finishing the job seems a lot quicker. I have not used the handtool yet, can’t comment, but it is pretty much similar to the old handtool that broke on my other machine which did an awesome job on stairs and upholstery. Pro-tip: go easy on using the included cleaning solution - it leaves a residue in your carpet that collects dirt over time. I’ll use a 409 spray bottle to spot clean the hard-to-clean areas. My 5 year old beige outdoor cushions always look new! Thank you, Hoover engineers! You did good…

BRILLIANT! My husband uses it as he enjoys using something new, hope he doesn't tire of it as I enjoy not having to do it. He says its the best carpet cleaner he has ever tried and so easy to use. 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

Una muy buena máquina para lavar alfombras, Hoover es garantía, muy bien empacada, ya la usamos para lavar una sala y quedo muy bien, fácil de armar, buena potencia, use el shampo que viene en la caja y considero que para que quede bien la lavada hay que utilizarlo, no sabía que viene concentrado por lo que hay que diluirlo con un poco de agua, se me acabo rápido y le puse jabón de trastes, vinagra y un poco de bicarbonato pero no limpio del todo bien, así es que invertí un poco más y pedí el Galón de shampo del mismo que viene con la máquina, Recomendable.

Good item and great follow up
