Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge, F5914-900

Cheap Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge, F5914-900 Review

I bought this Hoover out of frustration. With a new dog going through house training "issues", I've been regularly renting a "Rug Doctor" to clean the 2 hallways that seem to get the most abuse. At about .00 per rental, it was getting crazy. The Hoover SteamVac (with a 3 year extended warranty) was about the cost of 6 rentals.

The SteamVac is lighter, more maneuverable, and easier to handle in general in typical home use. Fully filled, it's lighter than some vacuum cleaners that I've used. This Hoover actually cleans better than the "Rug Doctor"! The rotating scrub brushes really seem to assist in the cleaning. The first time that I used it, there was dirtier water in the collection tank than when I used the "Rug Doctor". It also seems to vacuum up more of the cleaning solution than the rental. In addition to getting more solution up, the carpet drys much quicker. The power spray permits you to target spots and problem areas very easily.

I haven't had any of the leakage issues that some of the other reviewers have reported. It does NOT have the cleaner capacity of the pro cleaner, but it is very easy to empty the collection tank and refill the solution tank.

It's only been used 3 times, but I would HIGHLY recommend it for home use to anyone. If you have very large areas to clean, the limited capacity of the tanks could be a concern.

Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge, F5914-900 Specifications

This powerful home steam vacuum saves you the expense and hassle of having to rent a steam cleaner and keeps rugs, upholstery, and bare floors (other than hardwoods) looking like new. The powerful 12-amp motor combined with five spinning brushes that operate at either high or low speed lift the usual dirt and grime out of carpets. By pulling on the trigger in the comfortable upright handle, this deep cleaner releases the included carpet/upholstery cleaner and hot tap water. For more stubborn stains or for high-traffic areas, this SteamVac also has a Clean Surge feature, which sends an extra blast of cleaning solution into the stain by simply pressing a button on the handle. When cleaning is complete, release the trigger and the SteamVac forces hot air into the cleaning path so you can do a few dry strokes over the stain. This deep cleaner has two separate water tanks to keep clean water apart from dirty water. The top tank holds the detergent and 1 gallon of hot water and automatically mixes the two so you don’t need to get your hands wet. The lower tank holds the dirty solution picked up from the carpet and unlatches to easily pour out into a sink without spilling. For cleaning stairs or upholstery, this deep cleaner has a long 8-foot hose and a special stair/upholstery nozzle that scrubs out spots. Other features of this deep cleaner include a brush indicator, which informs you that the brushes are spinning; an on/off foot pedal; a handle release pedal; and a 27-inch wraparound cord. The Hoover SteamVac is covered by a full one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
