I bought this tonight and love it. My old Hoover was over 15 years old, cleaned it tonight and I have noticed that it was time to let go,I'm so glad that I picked this one. We have two dogs and I have been looking for a pet shampooer. This one has just as much as the pet ones and works as well. So it doesn't have to say pet on it to do the job. Also the clean smell that it leaves is wonderful. The color in my carpet has also come back and will be keeping it for a few more years.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This carpet cleaner will work wonders on your carpets! I've had mine for almost 4 months and used it several times. Aside from the soap leaking from the top tank, I've had no problems with my MaxExtract Dual V.
Bottom line: The Hoover MaxExtract Dual V cleans seriously deep. If you want serious deep carpet cleaning, I recommend this product. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Hoover!

I assumed most of our carpets were clean based on regular vacuuming and their decent appearance. I can't believe how much dirt this thing got out! I feel much better letting the kids play on the floor now!

This is by far the best shampooer I have every used. The cost of the system is the same as having a professional clean your carpets once and you get the same results. I had borrowed one of these from a friend and now I have bought my own.

After having two of it's competitors products, I wouldn't buy anything else. This steamvac gets up not only the temporary stains we get on our carpets (we have 4 dogs and a cat) but enough dirt that it amazed me! I THOUGHT I had pretty clean carpets. Now, I know I do. I have not tried it on my tile but I bet it does a great job there as well. I would recommend it. Easy to use and much better than competitors.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a well, put-together machine. Easy to assemble (just two screws, two bolts, one regular screwdriver). Easy to use. Very impressed with the cleaning ability and ease of use. What I really found impressive is the carpet was pretty much dry when I got thru. Not as loud as my vacume cleaner and easy cleanup.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Purchased this product years ago and it worked well. The newer model works even better. Much more suction so the carpet takes less time to dry. The brushes also seem to get the carpets cleaner than the older models. Very easy to use. Had professional carpet cleaners come out last year, was charged a fortune and they did not do as good a job as this unit did.
Yes, I recommend this product.

My wife and I are thoroughly happy with this SteamVac.
Our new home had fairly new carpets that were in good shape, however the house had been empty for over a year and they had become dirty and emitted a strong stale odor throughout the house, add to that our German Shepard puppy who was not easy to house train, we were about ready to spring for all new carpets, but tried this Steam Vac first.
First time we used it it cleaned the carpets and eliminated the odors. The carpets look like new, and the stale odor, and the pet odors are gone. Easy to use and and does not leave the carpets too wet to walk on.
Great product, saved us a lot of money !!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I just bought this model yesterday, and after a couple full uses the brushes stopped spinning. Prior to use, I complied with the manual's instructions fully. The user manual suggested the filter at the base needed cleaning as a troubleshooting option. I cleaned the filter, detached the brush assembly to clean it, and I re-assembled only to see that the vacuum still failed to spin the brushes. The brushes spin with ease manually, but the receptor that spins the "drive shaft" for the brushes fails to rotate, and it's housed in an encasing that would void the warranty if I attempt getting into it. I now have to follow-up with Hoover's 1-year warranty just within the first day of use and am unable to use my steamvac until I hear back from them later this week.
It worked great while it lasted, but only a few hours of use isn't worth $15 let alone what I paid for it. My carpets were vacuumed prior to utilizing the Dual V and they weren't soiled, so it had a few hours of continual use in mild conditions before my first breakdown.
If maintenance actually made a difference on functionality I'd say it's a great product because it was incredibly easy to clean both filters, the brush assembly, and the suction cover. Filling the detergent and clean water is very simple, emptying the dirty water is equally simple, the screw-on caps are airtight and made of a solid material, the setup time for the entire unit was very easy to assemble (it took me 5 minutes to have the entire thing together), and the button placement adds great usability. Overall it seems durable and excellent, but I can't recommend something that breaks down quickly and lacks any kind of troubleshooting or support for something that seems very basic.
No, I do not recommend this product.

This steam vac just plain works. The dirty water was absolutely black, the beige carpet was clean, like new. It did not dry as quickly as it claims, but did dry in a few hours. It does not pick up pet hair and I am glad because the hair will degrade the performance of the vac over time, but it does roll up the hair and leave it in handy clumps on the carpet that are easy to pick up or vacuum up. We are very pleased with this steam vac.
Yes, I recommend this product.

We are the owners of a Bissell Pro Heat that had a lot more bells and whistles, and cost a lot more. The Bissell is only 3 years old and was a great cleaner for the first 3 months. Then things went downhill. It would never dispense cleaner, the vacuum would lose suction....... I think you get the picture. It became a boat anchor!
The writing guidelines say not to mention competitors, but I think it is important for consumers to know about problems with anyone's product.
The wife and I did a lot of research on these cleaners and wanted the best we could get for under $200. This is the one! We have hard wood floors covered by various area rugs. We have 1 cat in the house, and he is clean (as are most cats). Our Hoover Pet Vacuum does an excellent job picking up cat hairs, so our new Hoover cleaner had only dirt to deal with. And, it found PLENTY embedded in the rugs. Finally, after the 3rd pass, the water became much cleaner and the rugs look BRAND NEW! No kidding!
I then proceeded to try it out on our linoleum kitchen floor that looks like ceramic tile. It has grout lines. I had to scrub out the grout lines with a brush, but this cleaner made the clean up oh so easy! Looks GREAT!
I then tackled the furniture, and again, this machine amazed me! Cleanup was easy. MUCH easier than the Bissell ever was!
Now, I realize this wonderful tool has only been in my hands for 6 hours, but I think I will really like it much better than the old Bissell.
I didn;t give it 5 stars for quality because a plastic part broke on the hose attachment upon the first use. I glued it and went on my way cleaning.
Overall, you won't be disappointed!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I am thoroughly impressed by this carpet cleaner. It has proven to be the best money I’ve spent on a household item…EVER!! Apprehensive by the total invoice I would have received from a “professional” cleaning company, I allowed my carpets to go almost one year without a cleaning. With a teenage son and a pre-teen daughter, the appearance became unbearable. One morning as I was getting ready for work, I saw a commercial about the Hoover Max Extract and thought I’d give it a try. I ordered and pick up my Hoover from the local Home Depot and was met with extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. She was so helpful and recommended a perfect cleaner. Assembly was fairly easy and the result was amazing!! As an accountant, I cannot help but think about how much money I have saved by buying this product. Those “professional” carpet cleaners would have only cleaned out my bank account!!! Thank you Hoover and thank you Home Depot!!!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this back in Oct or Nov of 2011, and I finally got to use it the other day.
I must say I love it! I had a Bissell before, and besides leaking all over the place, it wouldn't even put out any shampoo.
The Maxextract is wonderful. Cleaned the rug perfectly, even took out stains without pre-treating. Rug felt dry to touch when I was done. Easy clean up of machine. Just a great product. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good machine and a good value.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I just bought mine on Saturday and cleaned the livingroom and two bedrooms. This machine cleans better than the store rentals by far. The extractor works well to shorten drying times.
The machine removes deep down dirt and the carpets smell great after drying.
I would recommend this unit. Always read the directions as I have noticed some reviewers using the machine incorrectly.
You dont need to force any of the parts together and take your time, I recommend the pretreater on stains 10 minutes before using the Hoover, the carpets will look great!
