F5914-900 Vacuum Cleaner
If your new machine LEAKS, see note #2 below. I am just amazed at how many people write that their machine leaked from day one, and they returned it. It will leak if you skip a crucial one-time set-up step.
Paid $170 at Best Buy. This is my first carpet cleaner so I have nothing to compare it to except my own expectations. Even though the name is SteamVac, like all the others in this class of cleaners, there is no Steam to it. That's just false marketing, but all the manufacturers do it, so no particular knock on Hoover.
First, let me say I'm ashamed to admit that our carpet hadn't been cleaned in 4 years, and that we live in the country where lots of dirt gets tracked in from outside. So the carpet was pretty darn dirty. The Hoover F5914-900 did a very nice job the first time I used it - a drastically noticeable difference in the appearance of the carpet. The water in the dirty water receptacle was black. Did it return the carpet to new condition? No, impossible. Did it take another treatment or two to really get it clean? Yes, that is the price I pay for ignoring wet-cleaning the carpet for years. One of this cleaner's best features is the ability to dry the carpet quite thoroughly. Since the front of the machine is made of clear plastic, you can see when you're vacuuming up water. If you want to dry the carpet as much as possible, keep vacuuming until you no longer see water being pulled up. As time has passed, the SteamVac has done an excellent job of maintaining my carpets.
My only gripe is that the dirty water container fills up too speedily and need to be a little larger. Ideally, the dirty water receptacle "should" be complete correct as you run out of clean water. Then, you shut down, empty the dirty water, refill the clean water and back to perform. But this course of action gets out-of-sync with all the dirty water receptacle filling up before you run out of clean water. So this could be just a little inconvenient, but not a show-stopper.
The machine is nicely constructed nevertheless it IS plastic, with lots of compartments and latches and hose holders, and so forth, so one particular have to merely be cautious or those issues will no doubt break off.
Several other notes:
1. For anyone who is not the style to read manuals, do study this one particular. Assembly and operation are straightforward in case you sit down and study the manual through prior to beginning. It's not like a vacuum cleaner where you just plug it in and go.
2. My machine leaked badly Nevertheless it was my personal fault. There's a one-time only setup procedure exactly where you squeeze the trigger and push the Clean-Surge button to lock a rod into spot. Push the Clean-Surge button firmly. There may perhaps be a loud SNAP which sounds like you broke something, but you did not. Until finally you get that snap, the Clean-Surge (which releases added water-cleaner option) is on each of the time, hence the leaking. I did not push the button really hard enough at first, so I had the leak difficulty.
EDIT December 2007
Apparently many people are assuming that without a loud snap, the Clean Surge will not work. All that matters is that your machine doesn't leak. If your Hoover SteamVac F5914-900 doesn't leak, it is assembled properly and the Clean Surge will work!!! The only reason I emphasized the "snap" was because so many people were having leak problems, which are easily solved. And it's possible that Hoover has changed the design after getting so many returns from people who didn't read the instructions in the manual. So don't get hung up on the snap. If your machine does leak after assembly, you know what to do.
three. ANY time it appears like there isn't any suction, the issue is the fact that some thing is just not seated effectively. It truly is simple to snap the lid onto the dirty water container with no lining it up effectively, which causes a vacuum leak. If there is a vacuum leak, there isn't a suction on the bottom from the machine, exactly where it truly is needed to suck up water through the carpet. Plus you are going to see that the brushes aren't turning, as they're driven by vacuum. So recheck the dirty water lid. Cautiously line up the hinges in the back. The front should snap closed pretty very easily. In case you have to force it somewhat to snap it closed, it suggests the back is just not aligned adequately and you will get no suction.
four. Should you have velvet or velvetine furniture, do not use the powered tool, use the utility tool. The powered tool is as well strong for delicate material.
five. Like other people have recommended, come across a affordable substitute towards the Hoover brand carpet detergent. One gallon of water does not clean many carpet, and at five oz of soap per gallon, you go thru it fast.
6. Normally make sure to dry vacuum your carpet having a frequent vacuum cleaner initially prior to utilizing this machine to wash it. Be sure to remove and clean the brushes when you happen to be completed making use of this machine. Otherwise hair, thread, and balled up carpet fibers will dry on them and between them. Then the brushes won't turn. These are not "use and place away" machines like vacuum cleaners, they're "use, clean, and place away".
7. Here's something I do which you *might* want to try. For a very dirty carpet, I fill a cheap plastic 2 gallon watering can (or smaller for a smaller carpet) with hot water and a tablespoon or 2 of Oxy Clean. I then sprinkle the carpet heavily, being careful not to soak it. Then use the Hoover normally. Of course, this fills up the waste water receptacle long before the soapy water container is empty, but it still saves trips to the sink to load up on clean, soapy water.
8. Others have suggested using boiling water. Not for me, thanks. Too dangerous to handle and unnecessary, unless you've spilled or tracked in grease.
After reading countless reviews here, I have concluded that the problems people have encountered are from failing to properly set up the machine initially, failing to seat the dirty water lid properly, or failing to clean the machine after use. I recommend this Hoover. It won't perform miracles, but I think if it is not abused it will last a long time and do an excellent job of maintaining a carpet.
