[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I admit it's been a while since I've cleaned my carpets but I didn't realize they were this bad until I got this cleaner. They look brand new again. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Very easy to use and the hand-held hose makes hard to reach spots a breeze without moving furniture

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to use this once it came in the mail, that I forgot to take before pictures of my carpet. I love that it's wider than my Bissell, and I am able to get more done in a shorter amount of time. It worked well and it was easy to clean up afterwards.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried NUMEROUS carpet cleaners as i have two mud tracking humans, 2 dogs, a cat, and friends that come and go. This is the most efficient and effective one i have tried yet. This is directly compared to Hoover Pet and a heatpro. I have been through the roof on getting carpets clean again without having to refill and dump every 1/2 a room. You do need to unclog the vacuum part often but this can be fixed with using a better vacuum before use.

Cleans the carpet well, however I will probably never buy another hoover product. One of my family members moved the special hose and since I have all hard floors and one living room rug, I mostly wanted to use this on upholstery. Why is the replacement hose half the price of buying the whole machine. I've used this machine twice and now am probably going to give it away to buy another brand that doesn't use parts as ransom.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am pleasantly surprised at how simple this machine is to use. I've used other styles of personal "pet" carpet cleaner, and they didn't compare to this one. I've had the same three spots in my entryway for a while, and none have even came close, until now. Just a few minutes, without even pretreating, and the spots are seemingly gone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to assemble, simple to use. It's a little heavy for me. But the suction power's great, cleans really good. This is a must have especially if you have pets and kids. I bought more cleaning solution. The cleaning solution included didn't go far. Overall, I'm very happy. My carpet's a lot cleaner and softer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used my product for about a month now and I have cleaned up some pet messes, mud, and other things. It does a good job. One pet mess I had to go over it a few times to clean properly but it didn't completely remove the stain but it did a good job nonetheless. My carpet looks nice and sharp.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew my carpets were dirty but come on, how dirty can they be? I have 2 large dogs, I used to have three. All of them are long haired and shed like crazy. There are several people in the house always walking around in shoes and socks so the carpets do get dirty but I never thought they were disgustingly dirty. Well... this XL Hoover Carpet Cleaner showed me just how dirty they were and how much they really needed this machine. The dirty water bin was almost like sludge on the most used carpeted area in the house. The rest of the bins were literally brown or even black. One swipe back and forth is OK at picking up all the dirt, but 2 full back and forth swipes is phenomenal. After going over the carpet 2 times and sucking up all the dirty water 2 times I make sure to go over with clean water one time and then suck that up as well. After all, who wants extra soap and possible dirty water stuck in their carpets? Keep in mind that if you want to go over your clean carpets with clean water at the end, make sure to only put enough soapy water in the tank as to not waste any. Meaning, you will have to dump out the soapy water to put in fresh clean water so make sure not to overdo it and totally fill the tank with soapy water if it is not needed and the room is not that large. This machine works great for the entire carpet in my large living room because of the large tanks. I have another carpet cleaner but it's compact and more for pet oopsies and not for doing entire rooms. I do/did use the compact one to clean small rooms and hallways, but I had to change out the bins a couple times. With this Hoover I do not have to do that! Compared to my compact machine this one obviously takes the cake. It also has more powerful suction. I actually think this is just as good as rented machines and easier to use. No more renting machines, either, with this Hoover XL!! Oh and the attachment is great, I can actually clean my drapes with it although I have not tried to do this yet. I am waiting to use the attachment on a chair that I just cleaned (go figure) and when it is dirty again I will use it. The only thing I wish this Hoover had is its own mat to sit/store on, like my compact one has. It is like a mat/bin that you put the cleaner on in case of any leaks and it makes things look neat and tidy. I will have to buy one on the internet if they have one of look for something that I can use in the same fashion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This carpet cleaner xompletely and utterly exceeded my expectations completely. I had an older model and thought that I had something good already, but this new one decimated my old one in terms of cleaning capabilities. The unit came in parts and was really easy to assemble. I did not think it would be so simple and easy to pit together but it was 4 screws and done. That was all it took to get started. I cleaned my entire house in 2 hours and the water and dirt that came up was astonishing. The water was so dirty! This unit has set new expectations of cleaning for me. I don't think anything can even compete. 13/10

I've had my Hoover XL for one year. And for the first couple months it worked great. And then I put the XL in the closet. Now, after several months of non use, my XL no longer dispenses water at the base. If I attach the hose to the base, the hose sprays perfectly, but when I detach the hose, the base still doesn't spray.
