Hoover SmartWash Pet Automatic Carpet Cleaner Machine with Spot Chaser Wand, Deep Cleaning Carpet Shampooer Machine, Pair with a Hoover Carpet Cleaner Solution for a Bright, Refreshed Home

First let me just say that I don't have pets and didn't buy this for anything pet related. I have two teenage boys who are filthy animals. They are constantly tracking dirt into the house or spilling something on the carpet. I bought this product in hopes of extended the life of the carpet in our house. Aside from weekly vacuuming the carpets haven't been cleaned since we moved into our house in 2018. Needles to say there were plenty of really old stains and soiled areas of the carpet throughout the house. I was skeptical about this product and others like it because I just didn't feel their was anything on the market that was up to the task of really deep cleaning my carpets. My first test run was successful. I used it on a small area downstairs that had some minor dirt spots and an old juice stain. It worked and afterwards you couldn't tell where the dirt or juice stains had been. My second time I used it to clean one of my son's rooms which was a challenge. I didn't use any pre-treatment products but I did use an Oxy Boost product with the main cleaning solution. After one cleaning it removed 80-85% of the dirt, grime, and stains from the carpet. I was unaware of how to properly use the dry only feature so the carpet took half a day to completely dry. I decided to make a second go of cleaning my son's room. This time I used pre-treatment solutions in addition to the Oxy Boost additive and the regular cleaning solution. I pre-treated what was left of the tough stains and left them alone for about two hours. When I returned to the room I could already tell that the pre-treatment was working wonders as the stains had already started to further dissipate. After a second cleaning and subsequent drying using the dry only feature I am quite pleased to say that there are no more stubborn stains left in the carpet and it looks, feels, and smells better than brand new. Using the dry only feature drastically improved the drying time and the entire room was 90% dry in 90 minutes and completely dry in two hours. This carpet cleaner is easy to assemble. Easy to use. Easy to clean and store. It is fairly light weight. It weighs only a few pounds more than my regular vacuum. It seems to be well built and of sturdy construction. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to breathe new life into their carpets. This will get the job done. My next project is cleaning my stairs and the backseat of my car. I will update my review with my results. Until then don't hesitate to buy this carpet cleaner. You will not be disappointed!

This is a long post but I thought it worth the time spent to tell you about this product if you've ever had pet messes.As you can probably imagine, in the weeks following TwinkleBelles' stroke, she was unable to get to her potty papers and pretty much didn't have control of her elimination. She normally is absolutely perfect about going potty on the paper. I am going to be honest in telling you that my carpet turned into a nightmare from heck. With the enormity of the ongoing Vet bills and what happened to my car at Honda there is NO WAY that I could afford to replace the carpet.Professional carpet cleaners just wanted WAY too much money. My experience with them has not always been so great anyway because they usually hook up their equipment to the outside spigot, which does not have softened water and the carpet will look clean for a couple of days and then the dirt just resurfaces again. A big giant waste of money.After researching the living crap (pun intended) out of various carpet cleaners, I found this absolutely fantastic machine and I am AMAZED at the wonderful job that it did. It took the mess out of the carpet and the carpet is nice and soft again and the stains are all gone. There was no leakage, like carpet cleaners usually have, and the carpet dried within scant hours. I waited over a week to even say anything about it or even make a review because my experience with carpet cleaners is that the stains come back. They actually have been REMOVED by this carpet cleaner and have NOT returned. They are GONE and I evidenced this by putting water on a portion of the previously very highly stained areas and sucking it up and it is clear so the stains have actually been removed. YAY! That is VERY unusual for a carpet cleaner to accomplish so this one is an absolute winner.Not only did it cost less than professional carpet cleaning but I still have the machine and it will work on upholstery and work to spot clean as well so it has already paid for itself. Well, more accurately my credit card has paid for it 😑. I have not been able to return to work because of the cancer treatment problems but at least I have a clean carpet now. 😁 Also, even though she is quite cognizant of her environment now and getting to her papers, I do not have to worry about any potential issues because it came with a 5-year warranty. YAY 🙂I'm confident that I am not the only one that has ever had to deal with this issue so I wanted to share my finding with you in case the situation either exists in your home or happens in the future. I have had a lot of carpet cleaners before but NONE that were this efficient. It is important to note that I am NOT being commissioned or otherwise paid in any way whatsoever. I am simply trying to be a helpful PetMommy to anyone that may be experiencing trying to clean pet problems out of the carpet. BTW, I spilled her liquid iron supplement, the whole darn bottle tipped over when I was giving it to her one morning, it actually pulled that right out of the carpet in just a couple of passes after I gave up trying to scrub it out for the last few weeks manually. Iron is horrific to try to get out of carpet because it is very dark brownish red and stains horrendously. This took it right out. I used OxiClean carpet shampoo for that.Again, it has been well over a week since I used the cleaner and the stains have not returned and the carpet still feels very soft and plushy again. The purple one that I reference is the most recent model. Amazon had the best price on it at the time of my purchase and I am very pleased.I must also add that it is extremely easy to clean it. The brushes pop right off so that you can clean them easily and the compartments come out very easily. This ensures that you will be able to maintain your new cleaner quite well and is probably why Hoover is able to offer the Five-Year warranty.I am very pleased with my purchase. It has actually already paid for itself in just one use.
