 Really cleans carpet but is flimsy October 17, 2008

I've used the 7452-900 for over two years and have pretty much broken every exterior part on it. Solution reservoir came off and is held on by Gorilla tape. Clean water res. has a crack in top from falling out of the machine while in use and hitting ground while full of water. Valve on solution res. is broken, hole is plugged with a rag. Bottom chord hook broke off. Dirty water res. handle broke of. Bearing inside seized. I was able to free it and grease it to make it work once more. So! this thing is made of cheap plastic parts which WILL break.
Having said all this I am looking for a new one.....What? Why? It cleans carpet well. I had my carpets professionally cleaned right before I bought this cleaner and I got so mad at the poor job they did I borrowed a friends Hoover and cleaned my carpets to my expectations.
But I am very mechanically able to do work-a-rounds when something fails. I would not recommend this to someone who doesn't have a mechanical clue.
We have had a Eureka Sanitair vacuum cleaner for twenty five years and I just put a new motor in it. Now that's quality. That old vac absolutely
kicks, Come on Hoover!!
More water, more extraction September 30, 2008

I own both a Bissell Pro-Heat and the Hoover SteamVac All Terrain. I've had the Pro-Heat for years, but a control dial broke and I began searching for a new steam cleaner.
I use the steam cleaner for carpets and don't use it for linoleum or tile etc. I originally chose the SteamVac All Terrain for the option of using it on hard floors, but it hasn't come up yet (It's been about one year now, and the hard floors are still being done by hand).
The Hoover is better than the Pro-Heat for this reason: it puts more water on the carpet - and it takes more water out. I cleaned carpets professionally for a few years - and no machine is as effective as the commercial units, but the Hoover SteamVac does a reasonable job. Although putting more water in the carpet means that I have to fill it more often - that is the point of cleaning. More water out means more dirt out and reduced drying time. My carpets dry in easily half the time compared to using the Bissell.
On top of that, the Hoover is easier to clean. The brushes pop out and everything comes apart much better that the Bissell.
The only draw-back is the upholstery attachment. On the Bissell, the attachment is always connected - you just turn a dial (the broken one) to switch between floors and upholstery wand). With the Hoover, you have to connect the hose and plug it in to the unit. You then unplug it when finished to use the cleaner as an upright.
This doesn't sound so bad, except I use the upholstery wand often on little tough spots when needed. It's not convenient to clean an area, notice a slight spot, attach the wand, scrub, take the wand off, and continue - but overall the cleaning is superior.
Finally, as an owner of steam cleaners for more than 10 years, I'd like to say that I have been using commercial carpet cleaner (available at most home improvement stores) for about $7 per gallon - instead of $15 for a quart of regular cleaning solution. In the Hoover, I fill the detergent container about 1/8 full and top off with water. I clean the carpets (about 1100 square feet) about once every two months and have only used about $5 of cleaning solution in the past year. I've had no ill effects from this on any machine I've ever used. Detergent does nothing more than suspend dirt in the water. More detergent is only needed if it's capacity to suspend dirt has been reached. Otherwise, your just putting more soap in the carpet and you'll have to rinse it more.
 You can have mine!!! September 18, 2008

We'v had this Hoover for about 2 years and Im ready to junk it. After the first 3 or 4 cleanings, I thought the unit worked rather well, but then the problems started. First the scrubber wheels stoped spining. The brush drive uses plain steel gear pins that rusted due to the fact they are directly exposed to the fluids entering the machine! After cleaning and relubing these parts, it was working again. Then the leaking started. I replaced the rubber O-ring seals and it still leaked. I called Hoover and they mailed me a new water bucket and bucket base that had been slightly redesigned, It only driped slightly at first and now with about 4 uses, it litteraly has water running out of it!!!! This is without a dout, the worst possible design for fluid transmission in and out of a machine. Other than that, it cleans great!

This carpet cleaner works great on rug, stairs, and hard floor. It saved me $1000's from hiring a pro and the results were like a pro.
Love this Steam Vac August 8, 2008

Although this isn't really a steam-vac (you have to add your own hot water), I am amazed at how clean my carpets are after using this machine. I have two great danes, two cats, two children and they all like to hang out in my bedroom. The problem is, I have light colored carpets and every week there is accumulated dirt, dog urine (one of the danes is a puppy), and all kinds of stuff from them chewing their bones. This machine works!!! It gets everything out and also dries very, very quickly. The first time I got this machine I cleaned it with the Hoover Ultra Carpet and Upholstery Detergent. The tank was sooo dirty it was gross. There was a thick layer of dirt at the bottom of the dirty water tank. I did a second pass with natures miracle a week later and more dirt came up. It is an amazing machine with a very strong suction and gentile brush heads. The cost of this machine covers the cost of getting someone out here to clean my carpets professionally. I know feel I can go longer between professional cleanings.
