Customer Reviews:
Had for a year works like a charm.
I bought this product over a year ago and I use it once a week in seven 10 ft by 14 ft rooms. I have never had a problem with leaking or overuse I do not use the hoover detergent but I found another generic cleaner which works just as well at a third of the price. I use all of the attachments with no problem. I also found the other review by Lissie which is listed as most helpful extremely informative. Because that review is so well written I won't bother to review in that great of detail. If i do incur any issues I will update.

Very good product.
This machine works very well. The only difference with a professional equipment is the size of the tank. It pays for itself.

Effective cleaning
Summary - great cleaning, a bit heavy. I have used this a couple of times so far. Came out better than the professional cleaning I had done 2 yrs ago.

Cleaning - use recommended amount of detergent (low sudsing) and the hottest tap water you can and this will clean very well. The first carpet I attacked was the family room which had not been deep cleaned in quite a while. The take-up tank was full of very dark brown water after the first pass. Did a second pass and it took up even more. Again, this carpet was pretty bad.

Rinse - There is no "rinse mode" but that doesn't matter. Just fill the tank with clean hot water, don't add any detergent, and guess what? Rinses. I did rinse also and after it dried it seemed to help the feel of the carpet.

Maintenance - I had none of the leaking issues mentioned. You just need to be sure to properly seat the tanks and everything is fine. Definitely take the 10 minutes to clean the machine after you have used it. The spin scrub brushes come out easily, remove them, rinse them well and pull out any trapped carpet fiber. I have a spray type sink faucet and that seems to do a great job in rinsing the take-up tank. There are a lot of reservoir type spaces in the tank and turning it upside down and spraying up at it seems to work well.

Water use - The tank covered about 80 sq ft but I used the clean surge feature, which also works well, quite a bit on this carpet. Otherwise probably a tank for a 10 x 10 area.

Suction drying - The carpet was damp when done (these were short pile carpets also) but dry within 4-6 hrs.

The only slight "negative" - it is a bit heavy but that seems to help keep the nozzle on the floor and help with suction.
