Hoover SteamVac Dual V with SpinScrub Hand Tool

*If you are looking to restore your carpet to way it was the day it was first installed - This unit is not for you *If you want it done quick and without effort - this unit is not for you *If you like the looks of professionally cleaned carpet - this unit is not for you Now with that being said, This cleaner does a fantastic job and with a little extra time and effort on your part, you can do nearly as good a job as professional can. If you have a tough stain then you will need to get down on your knees and scrub it with a stiff brush(professionals at times have to do the same thing) but other then that this unit works flawlessly. My wife figured out that if you take your time and soap the area up first and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then come back and use the rinse only mode that we picked up more dirt and water then had we gone back over the area right away. The unit assembles easily and is a snap to use. With a little time when completed to clean up your unit and remove carpet hair from the rollers this unit will give you years of service. If youa re worried about repair costs then take out the 3 year extended warranty from Hoover for $50. They will replace the brushes or anything else that goes wrong with your unit for an additional 3 years. Hoover will also send you a pre-paid shipping box for repairs if you do not live within the area of a Hoover Service Center (discovered this fact because our 7 year old Wind Tunnel is going in for a recall repair and we live 300 miles from a repair center). There are a couple of things I wish I were better on this unit though. * The Accessory Caddy is flimsy and gets in the way. However this is easily fixed by mounting the caddy on a plastic hanger and putting it away in the closet until such time as you need it. * The Collection tank should not allow water to fill up as high as it does before shutting down. If the fill limit was about 2 inches lower the tank would be easier to handle and not risk spillage as much * The Collection tank does not have a spout so you need to be careful and take it slow when disposing of the dirty water not to get it all over the place. Let me add that my wife is a very hard person to impress. She was not even impressed the first time she saw a High Definition TV but after spending about 5 hours cleaning the carpets in our house (to her level of satisfaction), she insisted I write this review and give this unit 5 STARS. If you take your time and are willing to put a little effort in to it, you will be rewarded with clean carpets and be extremely pleased with this unit (plus it is great exercise).
