PowerScrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner Machine, Pet & Upholstery Tools

Used it yesterday to clean an area rug. So far so good. Worked as advertised. I did spend a lot of extra time drying the rug, but that was by choice because I was concerned about leaving it too wet. I have a carpet pad underneath and do not want mold to develop. We have a dog, so I’m always worried about my area rugs smelling. Decided to take the leap and buy this vs hiring a company. I did a lot of looking - reading reviews and watching review videos and chose this model for the excellent drying feature. I can attest to that. I could feel the warmth under my feet while I was running it. The color of the water from the dirty water tank was disgusting. My rug wasn’t stained, so I can’t say it removed anything specific, but my rug looks brighter. I’m a bit of a clean freak; my husband says my dirty is other people’s clean. Whatever. All I know is this baby is my new friend lol. I didn’t need the accessories at this point, so can’t review them. A few things to note: there wasn’t a guide for how much carpet cleaning solution to add to the tank. Only said to use the machines fill line or I could go to their website for a guide. The tank has two sides, one for hot tap water and the other for the cleaning solution. The fill line for the cleaning solution seemed excessive to me, so I just put in what I thought was right. The solution basically mixes with the water in the tank, so I’m not sure the reason for the separation. When done and I’d removed both tanks, it says to lay the unit down onto its handle in order to maintenance the heads. Some water leaked out at this point where the cleaning tank sits. I realized this was due to water still remaining in the tubes, so I picked up the unit and just held it upside down. Quite a bit of water came out. I’m hoping this might help mitigate the rust other reviews mentioned and plan to do this after every use. Cleaning the dirty water tank is a challenge. It’s compartmentalized, so trying to clean and get the water out of some of the smaller areas was difficult. None of this outweighs being able to clean my rugs anytime I want or having to hire a company. At this price, if it rusts in a certain number of years, I’ll just buy another one because in my opinion it will have paid for itself many times over.

I am so impressed with this Hoover Powerscrub Deluxe! As a self professed cleaning nerd, this carpet cleaner was worth every penny! I had an original Hoover Steamvac many years ago that sadly stopped working after many years of regular use. Switched to Bissell due to friends and family recommendations and it being the seemingly more popular option nowadays. It worked well but did not impress me nearly as much as this Hoover! It handles pet hair very well considering I have a husky mix and she sheds alllll the time, it is extremely efficient with water usage and thanks to its full size colossal capacity emptying and refilling is easier and less frequent. You can see how well it brought my rug back to life in these pictures! Hence the title of the review. After a couple hours the rug was dry which I couldn’t say for the Bissell, it would usually take 12-24 hours sometimes days even to be fully dry. It seems like the Hoover is very well constructed at this point as well. I haven’t tried it on big spills or sticky messes yet but I don’t have much of that anyway. Another thing I really appreciate in addition to its great suction and cleaning ability is how easy it is to actually clean the MACHINE when you’re done with it! Everything comes apart and is easy to access. I also love the ability to wash and rinse the carpet again with the dial on the front. DON’T ever get rid of that feature Hoover! It cleans beautifully. It’s easy to use, and it gets the job done, without leaving your carpet a sudsy mess! It really does let you clean more in less time. If you’re looking for something to keep up with everyday dirt and grime and high traffic this is the machine for you!

Review 1: Caveat: I have not used this machine yet. It was delivered earlier today and I plan to use it when I get home. So these 5 stars are for ontime delivery, but I plan to write a follow-up once I have more information and experience. A lot of research went into this purchase. We have never owned a full sized carpet washer before, always using rentals. But I found we were not really renting as often as the carpet needed cleaning, so having one always handy made sense. For some reason I'd always thought 'Hoover for vacuum cleaners' and 'Bissel for carpet washers'. So I was strongly leaning toward a Bissel when I started my research. The posted reviews for this model convinced me otherwise. My visiting daughter's dog gave us a fresh stain just last night (fireworks), so I am anxious to try this unit out. Stay tuned. Review 2 - Follow-up: When I got home, I found the box had a huge gash in one corner. Loss of points for FedEx, but bonus points for Hoover's packing - the cleaner was undamaged. Assembly was simple (2 screws) and intuitive. Other parts snapped on to the machine with large solid clamps. There's nothing fragile or flimsy about this machine. The print material does have some flaws: The quick start guide describes cleaning, explaining a first and 2nd spray pass, but goes no further. The full manual clarifies that this should be followed by at least 4 suction-only passes, to remove the water. Also, in the full manual, cleaning of the brushes is said to be explained in detail on p.16, but actually occurs on p.15. Two complaints I'd read about in other reviews don't bear up: 1. 'The power cord attaches at the bottom forcing you to hold the cord up out of your work area.' While this is true, there is a place on the upper handle where you can attach the power cord to keep it up off the carpet. That said though, the nature of this type of movement necessitates you holding the cord anyway. So this is not a design flaw, just the nature of the action. 2. 'Slight jarring of the unit causes it to disengage suction.' I never encountered this. In fact, the only time I can see this even being possible is when your dirty water tank is almost full anyway. Essentially, there is a float ball in that tank. When the ball rises on top of the dirty water in the tank, eventually it gets high enough to block an opening, preventing you from overfilling the tank with dirty water. Pretty slick! If the tank gets close to full, and you jar it, I can see how the ball might prematurely splash up and block that opening. This seems pretty minor, and to me would just indicate you might want to empty that tank now rather than wait a minute or two, until it is completely full. Clean-up was impressive. Every place on the unit where crud (hair, other bits, etc.) could collect, was designed to be removed from the machine, easily opened, and simply but thoroughly cleaned. Water and solution go in 2 separate locations and are mixed only when used. The plus to this is that when you're done, you can throw out the remaining clean water and none of the solution. A small spot washer we had previously required tossing out the solution/water mix or starting out the next time with a cold mix. The end result: The carpet looks good, though some bad spots remain. Pretreating will, not surprisingly, be needed. The ammonia smell from a urine spot is now all gone. The dirty water, as seen with commercial washers, came out looking more like chocolate milk. The dirty water tank was cleaned after this and even when the carpet was totally redone with just hot rinse water, the suctioned dirty water was almost as dark. After a total washing and a total rinsing, the carpet dried in a fraction of the time that I'd come to expect with commercial units. Doors and windows were open, to be sure, but cleaning was started after dinner and the furniture could be put back before packing it in for the night, and this is the Seattle area, not desert weather. After one thorough use, this carpet washer gets a very well deserved 5 full stars. Zero regrets on this purchase. I highly recommend it.

I read all of the other reviews and decided to get this one over the Shark and Bissell products. My first attempt was mediocre at best, mainly because I ignored what all of the other reviews said. The water tank is small, so it kept running out, which made me think the suction wasn't working. Once I learned the "dance moves", ie to choose a smaller section (4 ft x 5ft or so) and do the cleansing slowly, then go back over it with the rinse, and then refill the rinse and empty the yucky water container about every 2-3 sections, then I saw great results. I had not cleaned our carpets entirely since we moved in in 2017, so I ended up doing some rooms twice. I can say that I could see the dirt and grime lifting and that after several runs in the VERY high trafficked areas, the spots and other stains were gone. I'm too lazy to do anything above and beyond, so that was solely based on a few runs of this and not using any additional stain fighter. I was impressed. I'm giving it 4 stars because as others said, the water tank is small and requires refilling. The solution tank size is perfect and would last a long while. I also think the cord should be longer and apparently I've gotten lazy because having the actually wrap the cord around instead of having a button that sucks up the cord automatically about did me in. Not a deal breaker, and it was worth the $135 I paid for it. For what it's worth, I bought one jug of the cleaning solution and after about 10 hours of cleaning, I still have solution left.

This was a refurbished unit. After a few weeks of use, I like it. The construction plastic is not brittle, it takes the bumps with out cracking or breaking. It's easy to take apart and clean. It dose a great job of sucking up spills and dog urine. It scrubs decent with its little brushes. This machine is not for large areas. But if you don't mind dumping and refilling the easy to fill tanks you can do it. The power cord is a little short but a dedicated power cord takes care of that. I have not used the hand unit yet but I'm guessing it will work fine. So far I like this machine it works great, easy to dump and clean. Machine is light weight easy to push around and cary. When it dies I will look at this brand agian.

I bought my original Hoover PowerScrub carpet cleaner about 10 years ago, and it finally reached the end of its life when one of the wheels kept popping off. After getting a full decade of use out of it, replacing it was an easy decision. I purchased another one during the Amazon Prime Day sale, and I'm hoping this one lasts just as long. This machine is a true workhorse. It is very durable, but it is also heavy. It's not for the weak, you'll need a little muscle to push and pull it across your carpet. However, the cleaning power more than makes up for the extra effort. The photos speak for themselves. Just look at the black water in my recovery tank and after I emptied it into the toilet! I keep my house very clean and don't allow anyone to wear shoes inside, yet this machine still pulled an unbelievable amount of dirt from my carpets. It's honestly a little scary to see how much dirt can hide deep in carpet fibers, even in a clean home. There are a couple of small changes with the newer model. It no longer comes with a printed owner's manual, so you'll need to download it online. It also doesn't include the small spinning hand tool that came with my original machine. I really liked that attachment because it worked well on stains and upholstery, so I was disappointed to see it missing. Fortunately, I already knew how to use the machine, but I wanted to give new buyers a heads-up. Despite those minor changes, I still highly recommend this carpet cleaner. My first one lasted about 10 years, cleaned incredibly well, and proved to be a reliable investment. If you're looking for a powerful carpet cleaner that pulls an amazing amount of dirt from deep within your carpets, you really can't go wrong with this one.

Neat product. Easy to put together, two Phillips head screws hold the handle on. I had a gripe about the instruction sheet, which was crowded and printed in small type. Paper is cheap, print LARGER INSTRUCTIONS. So I got out a magnifying glass and read the instructions a few times. I used distilled water heated up to about 120F in an electric kettle and poured that through a funnel into the clean water tank and added the cleaning solution to the other tank. YOU WILL WANT TO BUY EXTRA BOTTLES OF CLEANING SOLUTION. This thing goes through the cleaning solution like a 22 year old at a college party goes through beer. You turn it on, release the handle so it's easier to push, and pull the trigger on the handle while you push forward, then release the trigger and pull back. It's slow going, expect something of a workout. Fear not, you'll go through your tanks of water and cleaning solution in no time. The first thing I tried it on was some old, very dirty white carpet my ex-wife had insisted on in the bedrooms. The device worked reasonably well. Do not expect miracles. But it does clean. When I emptied the waste water container in the commode, that water was dark grey! Then for Round Two I tried it on a kitchen work mat, a cushioned mat which gets a lot of traffic. It was not quite the lost cause the bedroom carpet was, and when I went to empty the waste water container, the water was BLACK! The device was definitely picking up a lot of dirt. By that time, I was pretty tired out, so I removed and rinsed the waste water tank and the cleaning solution tank -- I caught myself about to rinse the clean water tank which I'd filled with distilled water. Laughed at myself. So from my first use, I'm satisfied with the device. Again, don't expect miracles, but it does do a pretty good job. My next project is an area rug in the living room. After that, the floor mats from my car. The device comes with various tools and a hose, but those will have to wait for another day. Overall, I found it to be well-designed, clever, and functional. Remember to buy extra cleaning solution.

Initial reaction when I had first received this Carpet cleaner, was pretty good. Opened the box, only thing I had to assemble was the handle and it was ready to go. Most of the 5-Star reviews have covered the good part of its functioning. I will highlight what they may not have experienced yet. The SpinScrub brushes makes the spinning action using a turbine mechanism. This turbine has cheap parts and it starts rusting as soon as it comes in touch with water, which could happen right after the first wash. This issue has been widely reported in Hoover's other models as well, and yet Hoover's clueless Engineering team is unable to change the design or the parts and keeps on using non-stainless steel and cheap parts which seize to operate, right after they come in contact with water and rust. Check the following link on Amazon Q&A where a user has asked a question after his or her machine stopped working: https://www.amazon.com/Brushes-not-spinning-something-internally/forum/Fx23UOVL4I8KXTK/Tx26GM4WHEYHZHV/1?asin=B00009R66F When I experienced this issue as I was getting ready to use the machine, I did an online search and numerous videos on how to fix the Hoover carpet cleaner's turbine mechanism. It's just been a year and have used the cleaner twice. I am very handy with fixing things. So, I thought, I will give it a try before calling Hoover for warranty claim. In my case though, it won't fix as the shaft between two bearings is completely rusted and jammed. The bearings are rusted too, tried using WD-40 and tried to move the part but it won't budge. I have now sent a message to Hoover Support, let's see how quickly they can have it fixed. I will come back and update the review accordingly. ----- Update as of May 4th ----- My machine was still under warranty. I had contacted the Hoover Support via email but they refused to send the affected part and instead referred to me to their authorized service center. I tried to reason with them that it's waste of time for me drive about 11 mi to take the machine for a problem which I have already diagnosed. They refused and reiterated to take it to authorized service center. I had eventually taken the machine last week to service center. The service center folks were very receptive and told me that this is a common problem but good for their business. Warranty or not, they get paid either way. Service Center had called me last Saturday that they had replaced the part under warranty. I just need to now pick it up. ----- Update as of May 6th ----- I picked up the machine today and it has a new turbine that rotates the SpinScrub brushes. This repair was done under warranty but I am concerned that warranty would soon expire. So, I asked the service tech about what options I have when (not if) it happens again. He told me that the part is about $30 and their service fee for changing the part is $20. So, I will be looking at $50 expense every time this part needs replacement as the company WILL NOT ship the part directly to consumer even if they could handle the repairs themselves. An additional fact to keep in mind before you pick this cleaner.

I was very excited to use my machine. It came with what looks like a USA plug and no adapter. I read the instructions, used my own adapter, measured and filled the machine, turned it on and instantly heard a bang, with the smell of burning and then machine turned off... I felt it was going to create an electrical fire, especially how there is water inside the machine and something has exploded in there. Not a nice experience.

Me mudé a un nuevo departamento y la alfombra lucia como si jamás hubiera sido lavada, hablo de una alfombra de calidad baja, sin mantenimiento, en terrible estado. Esta máquina es buenísima, no es tan grande como imagine por qué lo que leí en algunos comentarios, la elegí por tener la opción modo manual que el modelo más pequeño no tiene y lo use para limpiar las torres de gatos que pensé en tirar a la basura y recuperaron su color 😺 No logra limpiar las orillas pegadas a la pared o algún mueble, pero puedes usar para eso la manguera y hacerlo en modo manual y queda todo parejo. Cuando apaguen la máquina inmediatamente pónganla inclinada hacia atrás, o el agua sucia que estaba llendo al depósito (y no llego) se regresa, se sale y mancha la alfombra. También pueden inclinarla dejando encendida durante un minuto para que el agua llegue al depósito completamente y no haya derrames. El mantenimiento al terminar su uso fue fácil: sacar tanques, quitar boquilla de succión y cepillos, enjuagar todo y dejar secando en algún lugar. Juzguen ustedes mismos los resultados, les dejo las fotos y video 😉 Yo estoy encantada con los resultados 😍

We have a very large dog and two cats, one of which has IBS, and I was tired of scrubbing cat puke on my hands and knees. So I figured it was finally time to invest in an upright carpet cleaner. I got this on a lightning deal for 30% off, so I was already very happy with the price. It was easy to unpack and set up, only requiring the handle to be attached to the body of the machine with two provided screws. My cats are currently enjoying the very large box, so that was an added bonus. I like that it has both a wash and rinse setting, so you aren’t left with excess detergent in the carpet. The solution container is separate from the water tank, and the machine decides how much of each to dispense, so you don’t have to worry about mixing ratios yourself. The dirty water tank also has a quick-pour plug in addition to coming apart completely, which makes it much easier to clean as well as keep dry when not in use. I’ve now done every area rug in our house and overall, I’m very happy. My only complaint is that the dirty water tank seems fairly easy to jostle if the carpet bunches up or you have to lift/reposition the machine. From what I can tell, this can briefly cause the tank to lose suction or misalign with the intake valve, and then it won’t suction properly again until you turn the machine off and back on. It’s a bit annoying, but not enough to outweigh how useful the machine has been so far, especially for the sale price and versatility (as it also comes with smaller hose attachments for upholstery etc).

I have an expensive Bissell carpet cleaner that I’ve used less than a handful of times. When I recently tried to use it after my dog had an accident, the sprayer failed. I thought it could have been clogged but nope. It just seized. So I bought this one after reading the reviews. Wow, am I ever impressed! It cleaned my carpet so well it looks as good as new. So very, very happy with this purchase. It was very easy to set up and very easy to clean. It arrived in a ‘short’ box and I had immediate dread that I would have to do a lot of assembling. Nope. It just took 2 screws to attach the handle. That was it. I can’t recommend this machine enough. Also, it’s much lighter than my Bissell. Much, much lighter and seems to have better suction. Couldn’t be any happier. Do not hesitate. Just buy it. You won’t regret it.
