Carpet Cleaners Reviews

I just bought this for 5 days, and thought of using it today. The autorinse/wash works but if you want to just rinse the carpet you just washed, it did not even work at all. What a piece of crap!!! They should have checked it before they sell it to the public!! Now my carpet is slightly wet, and I have to use hair dryer to dry my carpet.

My husband just called the customer service, and the customer service was not even helpful instead he told my husband to return it to the store. The customer service man don't even explain to us what's wrong with it.

Hoover used to be a good company with good quality vacuum cleaner /steamer. Now it's customer service sucks as well as the quality of the cleaners.!!

So for those who thought of buying this steam vac. DON'T!!

My SteamVac Dual V cleans like a $300 cleaner should: great! But the tank cracks EVERY TIME I USE IT. And yes, it has the new, heavier tank. It has had the tank replaced five times!!!!!!! I'm an engineer and I can tell you why: Hoover chose a clear, fragile plastic for the tank for cosmetic reasons when they should have gone with a more durable, translucent plastic. The original units had tanks that were paper thin. Mine was actually broken before I took it out of the box! When the broken tanks started pouring back in to the repair shops, Hoover redesigned them a little thicker but using the same brittle plastic. Yes, Hoover repaired mine multiple times for free, but now that the warranty's gone, it's of course broken and I'm stuck with a like-new, unusable, broken cleaner. And if I buy a repair tank, that'll break too.

DO NOT BUY A HOOVER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU ABOUT THE "IMPROVED" TANK! IT'LL JUST BREAK YOUR HEART AND WHEN THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT, YOU'LL BE PAYING FOR THE REPLACEMENT TANKS YOURSELF. Look for a company that cares a little more about quality.

My Steamvac of about 10 years ago was a real workhouse with never a problem. I updated for the neat new features; and what a terrible surprise. The parts are extremely thin plastic that fit together poorly. Even with a new water tank, the solution runs down the back of the vacuum on the floor and inside the base of the vacuum in a few minutes. The brushes work occassionally. The water pickup is quite good if the lid is just perfectly in place. The roter brush hand tool would be great except all the water in the tank immediately makes one big puddle in the floor. This has been costly disappointment. The company has sold to Maytag; and it appears it will be discontinued. I bought this from eBay used and kept adding new parts to save my initial investment; since returning it would have cost me almost $100 shipping & restocking fees. I have now spent more than a new one costs; and have nothing.

I bought a White Wing Vapor Steam Cleaner a few months ago because I don't really like to clean. After reading up on vapor steam cleaners and this model in particular, it seemed that this was going to be a fast, effective way to clean most of the house. This machine comes with many more attachments than you would get with most of the other models I looked into, and the attachments are extremely sturdy and high quality. Nothing about this machine is flimsy. I love the idea of cleaning with no chemicals . . . you use only distilled water with a vapor steam cleaner. Very safe if, for instance, you have pets who lick water off the floor of the tub. You don't really want your pets lapping up harsh chemical cleaning agents. The White Wing does wonders on my floors. I have an old vinyl floor in my kitchen that has ALWAYS looked dirty since the day I bought the house. The White Wing picks up an amazing amount of dirt every time I clean the floor with it, and the floor actually looks clean since I started steam cleaning it. The same for my hard wood floors. I've also found that the steam cleaner picks up a surprising amount of dirt from the couch, love seat, and living room rug, even though I vacuum those areas a couple of times a week. The steam cleaner is definitely the easiest way to clean my barbecue grill and to detail my car . . . I steam clean the dash board and leather seats. (The instructional manual says not to use vapor steam on leather furniture in your home, but that it is fine for leather upholstery in the car.) I recommend picking up a package of extra terry cloth towels (easy to find at a local discount store in the hardware section). The White Wing comes with six terry cloth towels, but I use about a dozen towels each time I clean, and then I throw them in the washing machine. I also suggest watching the instructional video and reading through the manual before using the machine. A co-worker bought a White Wing herself after seeing mine, and I have a friend who has borrowed mine twice to clean up pet mishaps and bathroom floor tile grout. Very enthusiastic responses from both of them.

When I moved into this place the renter moving out told me, "You'll never get the kitchen and bathroom clean." I got out the bleach and went to town -- no effect on these old tile counters. When I tried this vapour cleaner, I felt like I was making my own infommercial the results were so dramatic. Some workmen left marks on the vinyl floor last year that I couldn't even identify, let alone get up; adhesive was my best guess. The WhiteWing got them up like they were just pencil marks. I couldn't stop cleaning til the tank ran out (and house work isn't my strong suit!). Highly recommended! (Note: this is my first steam cleaner, so can't compare to other brands).
