I absolutely love this carpet cleaner!! It is super easy to use. Just push forward to clean and pull back to dry. It has a dry only button so you can dry and not put anymore water down. It is light weight and has 2 scrubber bars. But the best part about it; I believe; is the ability to take it apart for cleaning!!. No more grubby carpet cleaners! It just pops apart for easy clean up and pops right back together.

It works well, but I've now gone through two of these in a year - the reliability is awful. Two different problems (most recently a bad nozzle on the solution tank that leaks solution everywhere when the machine is on), returned two different times. Never again.

I purchased a camp and the previous owners said they had steam cleaned the carpets. It just wasn't done well enough so I purchase the Smartwash hoping it would. And what a difference!!! All the traffic "patterns" disappeared! Other than performing a great clean, I love the dry option. I washed the carpet in the evening and used the dry only option quite a bit. By morning the carpet was dry and looked brand new. This is the best carpet cleaner i have ever had and recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this after having dogs and needing to clean carpets more without renting. This machine cleans and leaves the carpets looking better than any machine I rented. The customer service is also amazing, I did have an issue 3 years in and no questions asked sent me replacement. Will continue to buy from Hoover.

I absolutely love this carpet cleaner!! I had a Hoover Dual Power Max before this and loved it until it stopped working. I was looking to replace it with the same version until I saw this Hoover SmartWash+. I was a little skeptical about the automatic part of this cleaner but with the dry only feature it literally makes carpet cleaning as easy as vacuuming! It also has a separate cleaning solution tank so I don't have to waste any more unused solution when cleaning the unit after use. I have 2 very messy children with a 3rd on the way, a dog, 2 cats and get a lot of company so this carpet cleaner has made my life sooo much easier and was worth every penny spent. If you have to carpet clean a lot I couldn't stress enough how much you need this in you're life!!

I was pleasantly surprised with the power of this cleaner. It got rid of some pesky carpet stains that have been there for a few years. The vacuum together with the pretreat and cleaner cleaned my carpet like it was new again. SmartWash assembly was somewhat easy and I had no issues putting it together. It is a little bulky but it gets the job done. Wished I knew about this product earlier. Would've saved me so much more time and effort.

I've owned a total of 3 carpet cleaners this one being the 3rd one. the first two were complete junk. THIS one here has shocked me at just how well it cleans, doesn't leave behind a nasty residue. my carpet is plush, soft and clean again and that matters since I've had my baby. don't waste your money on the other brands. this one is well worth it. top notch. would recommend to anyone. oh and it's super easy to assemble, you don't need a screw driver. super easy to clean and refill.

My husband and I are in with love this carpet cleaner! We have three cats and they have sometimes are a problem in our basement with peeing on the carpet. I love that this just automatically know when you are washing and drying. It has really helped pick up the pet scent in the house and just is a great machine. I would recommend for any pet owner.

I have two old dogs and accidents are common as they make their way to the dog door. This machine is surprisingly easy to use. All of the tanks come out easily and are marked for use. The amount of dirt and hair that comes up from a freshly vacuumed carpet is gratifying. The drying option is helpful to speed up drying time. I also used it on my wool area rug with excellent results. So nice to get your money's worth.

I have always been a diehard Bissell fan and always believed that Bissell made the best carpet cleaners. As of late I have not been a fan of Hoover until I bought this carpet cleaner the other day. I am not kidding, this smart wash system is far and above anything that Bissel offers including the big green yes the big huge green one the commercial one they offer. I have owned the big green and of course it cleans well but it's extremely heavy and the performance of the smart wash is equal to or exceeds that of the big green. This Hoover is far and above the best carpet cleaner I've ever used and it's actually very well-made . I wish I could somehow get some free products from Hoover to try because I've always been a vacuum fanatic since I was a child and would love to test new items!
