SmartWash Pet Automatic Carpet Cleaner Machine with Spot Chaser Wand and Storage Mat, Deep Cleaning Carpet Shampooer Machine, Pair with a Hoover Carpet Cleaner Solution

This is a fantastic machine. Great cleaning power and it is unbelievably easy to take apart and put back together for cleaning. A million bonus points for this - thank you Hoover designers!!🎖️ The parts are all plastic, but aren’t flimsy feeling at all. Suction is great in Dry Mode, so carpet isn’t soaking wet when you’re done. Feels sturdy. Same size as my vacuum and easy to store. There is no water overspray, so you can use is right next to furniture without having to move or cover. I bought this two years ago for quite a bit less than what it’s selling for now. I’ve used it 5 times. With that being said, I’d buy it at today’s price if I needed one. I just cleaned this rug today. Look at the difference! Keep in mind, this cleaner is not an instant fix. This area rug took about 50 minutes, cleaning in all directions with special attention to the extra soiled area.

I was quite surprised at how well this machine works and am very happy with it. Through the years, I have owned several different machines, including the equivalent of one of the rental machines you see at the store. This machine combines performance and price that is hard to beat. It may work differently from what you have or had though, and that's the secret to its greatness. It has four tanks but they all have a purpose that makes it better. It has the standard dirty water tank and clean water tank like you would expect. The cleaning solution is in a separate smaller tank on the side. The machine mixes the right amount of cleaner and water for you. No more measuring or guessing. The smaller tank is on the removable handle. This is where you put the spot solution concentrate. Then it gets really good. The handle comes out with the push of a button -- no lines or wires. Now you spray your tough spots and just put the handle back on. So a total of four tanks, each with a specific task. Of course, all the tanks are easily removed for filling or cleaning. NOTE ** In order not to void the warranty, you must use Hoover products in the solution tanks. That's what I do so I don't know what using another product would do. Now you're ready to go. Push the power button with your foot, tilt the handle back and away you go. If you push forward it will automatically clean. If you pull back it will extract. No button or trigger to hole down. There is a light on top of the brush cover that tells you what it is doing and the clear tanks show you the goo coming out of your carpet. You can lock the handle up and it puts it into a neutral so you can move it around. This thing really sucks up dirty water from your carpet. If you go over it a second time, it almost dries it for you. Cleaning is simplicity itself. Tanks come off easily, brush covers and brushes also. It's best to give it a thorough cleaning after every use. Don't forget to vacuum before using this, it keeps a lot of goop out. If your shopping, look at this, compare and buy it. You won't be dissapointed.

I have owned and borrowed multiple carpet cleaners in my life and found this Hoover to be the best one out there. First of all, I like that the water and soap dispense automatically when you push the machine forward. I saw some reviews that thought this was a bad option, but I appreciate this. You can push a button that is not far from the handle if you just want to "dry" and you can remove the soap dispenser or just fill it with water if you don't want to dispense soap. I had no problems with soapy carpet or not being able to clean up the any of the liquid after dispensing. Second, this machine sucks up the liquid very thoroughly. My carpets were dry in just a couple of hours. This was also the case when I shampooed my sofa; the suction is amazing, and it dried fast. The attachment hose and attachment cleaner were the best! The hose is super long which allowed me to get under furniture (like my bed) without having to move it. This machine is very easy to clean. I love that you can take the cover off of the scrub brushes and clean them out. I have 2 cats so there was some cat hair that accumulated on the brushes. The photo shows how the cover comes off and you can get to the brushes to clean. The only issue I had with this machine is that the dirty water tank was a little sensitive. I couldn't get it to seal for suction until I took it off while the machine was turned on and put it back on (while it was still running). I only had to do this in the beginning, it worked fine once I really got going so I'm guessing the seal was just dry and needed moisture to fully seal for suction. This doesn't compare to the machines I've used in the past (even rentals) and I'm very happy with my purchase!

I bought this on Nov 11, 2023 and paid $249.99 for it from Amazon (not including US sales tax). Overall recommendation: Buy it, it'll help between professional carpet cleanings First of all, can Amazon actually put categories worth rating on the reviews? It just asked me about "scent" and "freshness" and while those might apply to actual cleaning solutions, it does not apply to the machine itself. Pros: - It's easy to setup - The suction power is good - The tanks are a good size - you won't be able to do a whole living room without emptying and refilling, but the machine isn't so heavy when it's full that it's hard to move around - This is honestly the best carpet cleaner I've owned, which is nice but isn't saying much when personal-use carpet cleaners are all pretty much garbage. This isn't garbage, at least. - It works WAY better if you vacuum first, but it's not 100% necessary and I appreciate that a lot Cons - The stain remover wand is a complete waste of engineering. The stream it sprays is very small and thin, so while it does penetrate the carpet well, it takes nearly half the tank of stain remover to cover one spot that's maybe 6" (~15cm) square. - The "Dry Only" button is not conveniently located. I wish they'd remove the useless wand thing, permanently attach the handle, and put the button where your thumb is. I use it a lot while cleaning and it would be SO MUCH easier if I didn't have to bend over and forward to press it. - It's really hard to clean the edges of rooms when you also have to stand next to the wall. My wrist and arm end up being sore after a while of trying to push the machine up against the floor boards to clean the very edges. I wish it had some sort of power-edge feature that you could activate that would push the machine laterally in the direction you need it. - The dirty-water tank is annoying to empty. The lid has to sit just right to lock into place, and there's no pour spout or drain hole; you have to just tip it over, which leaves any debris (like pet hair) stuck inside the rim to be rinsed out. Also, the little purple plastic basket that's meant to be a filter is 100% useless, I've never seen anything in it at all. I don't regret this purchase at all, I just wish the market for personal carpet cleaning machines had higher-end choices that worked really well at doing one thing, as opposed to doing an okay job with lots of "features." I don't want features, I want a clean carpet.

I really enjoyed having this. I bought it for high pile carpet during a season of life where my dog was at the end of her life and was struggling with getting to outside on time to potty, and with occasional vomit. This is really easy to set up and load, so if you need to deal with messes really quickly you can. I also used it to clean my entire house a few times and it works for that too, although it's obviously not as effective as an industrial carpet cleaning service. Shampooing and drying the carpet takes a long time, so set aside a few hours to clean a whole room. I like to spot treat discolored areas, then run the machine with soap, then remove the soap cartridge to rise the carpet, then finally I spend some time drying. I like the dry only feature and I prefer to get the carpet pretty dry before I let it air dry. It doesn't leak if you leave things in it, and you can lay it on its side with some residual liquid inside it without leaking (like if you put it in your car to take it somewhere or something). I also like how easy it is to disassembly and clean. All of the basins and tanks are super easy to take on and off and all have handles for easy carrying. I've also had good luck removing the rollers for cleaning. The only area tough to get gunk out of is the clear cover over the rollers. I have decent luck running hit water through it from the sink but really pipe cleaners make it a much easier job. It's moderately heavy. I'm not strong and it takes a little effort for me to carry but it's not too big or bulky to move around the house or put up. I don't use the attachments much but I did clean the stairs with this. I preferred to just awkwardly maneuver the it onto the stairs in the regular configurations. However, the attachments were easy to install and clean and store. I've had this for a year now and it's still working great. I feel like I've gotten my money's worth, and I think this is a great tool for people with pets or kids who might want to address big/colored messes quickly when they happen.

I bought the Hoover SmartWash Pet and I am very disappointed. The SmartWash Pet DOES NOT RINSE. At all. It sprays down soap in the forward direction and dries (without rinse water!) in the reverse. No clean rinse water is sprayed in the reverse direction unlike the old Hoovers (I have one that is 15 years old and still works but sounds like it is dying) that did Wash Forward, Rinse and Dry (together) in Reverse -- or just don't pull the trigger and it's dry only. The old Hoovers can switch to rinse mode and you can spray clean rinse water with the trigger or dry without the trigger. Was the trigger too hard for us dummies to comprehend? Were the switches too difficult? So with the new Hoover SmartWash here's what your carpet cleaning looks like: Clean your entire carpet then remove the soap tank and do it all again... unless you want that crispy feel of soap residue and you want to do it again in 2 months. Really dumb design choice that solves zero problems, Hoover. The spot treat handle is a total gimmick. It simply doesn't hold enough solution - runs out very quickly. You can do better with a 32 oz spray bottle. But what it does is make it so you cannot lift this unit by the handle without breaking it. There is a hand hold point on the back, down low. If you use that lift point with the front tank full the entire unit pivots to the horizontal - be ready! - and the water tank either leaks or falls out completely. So you should only lift this thing with all tanks empty. I'm going to return this and get something else.

I did a lot of research before settling on this model and I'm glad I did. This does a great job. I bought this instead of the Bissell because: 1) I don't have to continually push a button to keep the suds going; 2) push forward, it's cleaning...pull in reverse and it automatically dries; 3) there is a separate button for continuous drying, which stops the shampoo and just pulls up water to dry more quickly; 4) really easy to remove the brushes and clean them; 5) doesn't use much shampoo; 6) easy to remove and clean all parts; 7) detachable wand for pre-treating tough areas; 8) easy to assemble and start using; and 9) it was $100 cheaper. The 2 things I don't like are: 1) the cord gets in the way because it's located very low on the machine so it took me some adjusting so I didn't trip over it; and 2) when I paused the machine or turned it off while on the carpet, the dirty water or accumulated carpet fuzz would drip onto the carpet so I would have to clean that area again. I learned quickly to put it on the mat when I wanted to turn it off or pause. I have to say that it cleans really well. Our wall to wall carpet was filthy and this did a great job of cleaning many of the spots. I did pre-treat a number of areas with the wand and I also used stain remover spray. It removed most of the water when I put it on dry--it was slightly damp only an hour after I shampooed it. The cleanup was very easy and I was pleased with being able to remove the brushes and clean out all the lint. I had to stop the machine a number of times to clean the brushes but it didn't take long and was easy to do. The lint accumulates so be sure to clear it regularly or it will end up on the carpet. It doesn't use a lot of cleaning fluid and I was able to clean our large tv room and only had to refill the water container and empty the dirty water once. All parts of the machine are easily removable for cleaning. I purchased this model b/c we have a Maine coon cat who sheds like crazy and tosses hairballs on to the carpet fairly frequently. I am very pleased with the results. I highly recommend this model.

I've been looking for a good shampooer because I have 3 animals (1 dog 2 cats) and the traffic causes my carpets to get dirty and they have little accidents and anyone who personally knows me, knows that I'm pretty anal about being clean and not having a home that smells like animals live in it. Well, my dog peed on my carpet a couple weeks ago and I tried using angry orange (IT SUCKS, literally the orange scent merges with urine and I thought to myself, the only reason they chose an orange scent is because it basically smells like piss! 0/10) and other carpet sprays but I could still see a tint of yellow in the area it happened. So prime day sale came and I made up my mind, it was time to invest in a carpet cleaner. It took me literally both prime days to make a decision because I tend to look at bad reviews for honest reviews and was STRESSED. I also had borrowed my managers Bissel Pet Pro to try to clean the urine stain and it SUCKED. So I absolutely knew I did NOT want a BISSELL machine. The suction was awful and the texture of my carpet still felt stiff and dirty after it had dried. I almost decided to wait on the carpet cleaner because since the Bissell 1 star reviews matched my exact experience I felt like all the carpet cleaners Amazon had to offer were going to fail me. I mean think about if you don't like it and have to return it.. They are heavy!! I was dreading the idea of having to do so. With an hour to spare of Amazon prime day I was like SCREW IT! Let me just get THIS ONE. It seems to have nice features, good deal (got it for $199) and I truly was sold on having the red mat to put the cleaner on once I was finished so I didn't have to think of something make shift and tacky to put it on. I received it over the weekend and yesterday I cleaned my carpets and WOOOOW. OBSESSED MUCH?!?! ITS SOOOO EASY TO USE. Plus, the spot treatment was a really cool feature. I love how dry my carpet was after I finished. I love the fact that you can push the "dry only" button and go over your floors to make sure there isn't any excess water on the floor. It was extremely easy to put together and to clean! It's a little heavy but not worth complaining about. I also love that the solution tank is separate so that you don't have to potentially waste any product if you don't use it all! I literally just poured the rest that I didn't use back into the bottle which was extremely satisfying because it does bother me when I waste product. (its not cheap!). I was raving about it on my Instagram to my followers I was SO excited about the results, how easy it was to use, how much dirt it picked up, how dry my floor was once I finished. I could put my place back together asap! SO SATISFYING!!!!! Mind you, I haven't even used the additional accessories it comes with yet. I don't have much input regarding those. I bought the additional shampoos because I didn't know it came with samples. It will go to good use, I appreciate them adding the spot cleaner sample!! Thanks HOOVER!! Great product :D
