Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge
Deep cleaning machine for my carpets
Rating: 
By Neil Radison
The Hoover F5914 Steamvac cleans my carpets very well. On my most difficult carpet area, this cleaner did as good a job as the one that I rented before. This is the biggest reason I bought it because I didn't want to keep spending money renting a steam vacuum every few months (we have two big dogs).
For best results try to make your gallon of water quite hot and run your regular vacuum cleaner over the area first. This will reduce the hair and other stuff from getting sucked into the SteamVac. You can also pre-treat any heavily soiled area first to loosen up the stain. I find that this works great and lets the Hoover come through and finish it off.
Also, exercise a little patience when cleaning with it. Go slow and make sure you get the bad areas thoroughly. This will reduce your chances of having to redo it after it dries. I also like to clean my rugs every couple of months or so, just so that soiled dirt look doesn't build up. I'm sure I could wait longer but then it would take more work to really get it clean. The clean surge also is another weapon you can use should the need arise.
Overall I recommend the Hoover SteamVac for anybody who wants to keep their rugs looking like new, and especially for those homes with pets in them. I have a lot of fun using it and making my house look better than when we moved in. Plus, after only a couple uses it more than paid for itself when compared to renting.
