This is worth it! We washed our rugs just like vacuuming, other carpet cleaners you need to go slow. This one is easy to maintain, the ease of emptying out the dirty water catch makes getting back to cleaning fun. There's an dry cleaning only button. Hoover even included a bag that hangs, a long hose for cleaning stairs or upholstery is also included. They also sent a small cleaning solution but I bought a large one separately so I wouldn't run into the issue of having to stop and run to the store for more. An all around great investment, highly recommend!

The first time I used it I was amazed how well it works. I wish I took before and after pictures. My carpet was really really dirty and the second time I used it the stains were almost gone. I thought the only way to get the stains out was a professional carpet cleaning service, but this did a fabulous job. Our friend saw how clean it got the carpet and she bought one too!

I am just so amazed at this carpet cleaner. I had some bad stains on my living room floor from my 2 year old spilling things. I went over the carpet with this one time and I cant even believe how clean it got! I did it again just to see if there was any dirt left behind and now my carpet looks brand new! This thing is worth every penny. It looks so nice also and easy so easy to push. It didnt feel like those large heavy ones I've used before. It was so easy to clean it and store it for next time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cleaned the carpeting much better than our old machine which was very expensive. I vacuumed twice before using it and it still picked up quite a bit of pet hair. That took awhile to clean up. The best bang for your buck on the market. It is Hooveristic! Hey I need to win the "#sweepstakes." I'm old and running out of time to win something.

I purchased this machine a month ago and it by far out performed all that I thought it would do. It's way better than any rug doctor or any rental, it's portable and easy to operate reservoirs pop in and out with a gentle pull and go back the same, I love it. It really cleans.

Was pleasantly surprised on what a great job it did. Cleans better than Rug Dr and you can clean each room at you own leisure instead of doing everything in one day. Carpet looked great/ It was a little too wet but I set up a fan and it dried quickly

I brought the cleaner home right before Easter thinking do it quick so I would be ok for the holiday. Well I was wrong my carpet looked great better then my old scrubber. It was very easy to push, let you know it is on wash cycle when pulling back so dry. You don't even have to hold a button down it dispenses automatically, no sore hand. then pulled out almost as much dirty water as I put down. cleaned and dried in under 2 hours. Company loved it so did I !

Having this product is nice, was expecting more when it came to the drying part.. I was not expecting the product to have so much water dripping form it ( had to mop the floors while cleaning the rugs) such a hassle, or have so many moving parts to clean after cleaning our rugs.. Might gift this one and retrieve the self cleaning cleaner... Not sure if I would recommend this product as of yet....

I purchased this cleaner for my grandparents house. Their carpets are very old and very stained. I really just wanted to steam them so that I knew they were clean. I did not expect years old stains to come up after one to two passes. This machine amazing AND it is easy to use and clean. I am a believer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how easy it is to use and how all the parts come off easily to clean. I've used it for couches, chairs, and our carpets and it has worked great with everything. I use a more natural/green carpet detergent and it works well with the Hoover.
