Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner Machine, Upright Shampooer, FH50150V, Red

The absolute best investment to date. I am just blown away at how clean my carpet is. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Best decision I’ve made by purchasing this carpet cleaner.

I should have looked into it more. My previous cleaner had an option for heat. This one does not. But runs fine. Gets the job done.

Love this design , But the plastic seems very cheep, and breakable

Ten years ago I decided to buy a carpet cleaner , I read a ton of reviews and decided on the earlier version of this . And it was great . It blew up last week . So , I looked at reviews and the top machine was this one , a new and improved version . This version is a lot better . The water tank lasts longer . I like having a separate soap tank . This one dries as well . The only issue I had was the clean water tank doesn’t seem to sit properly , but that doesn’t seem to be an issue . If you want a carpet cleaner , this is it . $200 whereas the machine I bought ten years ago was closer to $400 . You only get a small bottle of soap this time , so pre-order soap . And a word of warning , a buddy of mine says in this machine to only use the Hoover soap , he has no skin in the game . Update ,based on experience with earlier model . Ok I’ve used it a few times now . It definitely makes the water go further . You don’t end up emptying the dirty water every five mins . I pretty much did a 20x14 carpet on two tanks . The separate soap bottle is a great idea , as you don’t mix it with the clean water , you don’t mind throwing the clean water away . It dries . They got rid of the “steam clean “ which had nothing to do with steam , didn’t even heat the water . Now that is deep clean or light clean , which is basically what the steam clean did , by increasing water flow . Being able to remove the nozzle for cleaning is a bonus , so much easier to clean now . Seems they have put a slightly longer cord on this version as well . You CAN do stairs , I don’t have stairs , but you can use the smaller nozzle and hose for that . Just remember you will be dragging the machine up your stairs in some cases . Once again , if you want a carpet cleaner , this is a damn good machine. And if you owned the earlier model , and liked it , you will love this version ,

good product but water tank is too small. Have to replace water several times to do a room.

Simply love it. Really cleaned the carpets well. Took away those lingering smells from pets.

I have NEVER left a positive review for a vacuum or shampooer… well here we go. This thing is unbelievable… it distributes shampoo evenly and it truly does… as much water that you put into your carpet will come back up through the shampooer and you can clearly see it’s black and I have OCD lol to my surprise it was not light… now when I shampoo it’s light… it’s easy to move… the tanks are massive which is nice I don’t have to change or get water every 10 minutes… literally if it broke I would still buy it again

Let me say first that this is my time owning a carpet cleaner so keep that in mind. The room will get hot and humid but Im guessing thats normal for this or I just overdid it because of how nasty the carpet squares were in the basement. It would be nice if the tanks on it were bigger but I know that would make it even more heavy so I understand why theyre a gallon each. The power cord might be a bit short too but they might all be this long. Make sure to use a proper high suction vacuum on the carpet beforehand. Go in each direction twice all over the carpet so that all the junk in the carpet is removed and doesnt end up in the carpet cleaner as well as the cleaner having to clean it instead of just cleaning the carpet. Pros: The unit does a very good job cleaning the floor and the dirty water tank is easy to empty as well as snap back in. The water/soap tank being in one unit is very nice and its removal is easy as well. I havent used the attachments yet so I cant comment on them but will update later once I do. I used Oxiclean the first time with white vinegar to clean and it did a good job and I just used a pet order cleaner/remover and that did a great job too. There wasnt much to put together when it arrived so that was nice. The pour spout on the front of the dirty water tank is excellent at dumping the rubbish water quickly. Taking the dirty water tank apart to clean is quick and easy and rinsing it out is pretty quick too once you learn what angles to have the water shoot in as you rotate it. The flip up connector that holds the dirty water tank in is quick to work if you just pull up on it with a flick and let it flop down and out of the way. Even though only two screws hold in the handle I have pulled it around and torqued on it getting it to hit certain areas and its rock solid still. This is after 20 hours of use. I had used it over 4 hours in a few a few times while trying to clean the basement. I did have to go up and down the stairs a lot to dump, rinse and fill but thats still a long time of pretty much direct use. It does a very good job of sucking up the water to the point that when all of the soap has been rinsed out of the carpet that there isnt much moisture to suck up. The carpet is a bit damp but not soggy and when you run the unit over it you cant really see anything being sucked up besides a tiny amount of liquid barely sliding up the dirty water tank lid where it enters on top. The price is very nice too after looking at all of the options. Spending more on a cleaner doesnt mean its better or will last longer, thats why I got from all of the reviews here and other legit sites. It really does clean edge to edge of the cleaner because of the brush and vacuum design up front. Cons: The unit is heavy and when you pull back slowly it wants to slide away from the wall slightly so you have to press the side to keep it up against it. Im not sure if its leaking because running one of these creates water everywhere from dumping and loading. The power lever on the base is too small to get with the top leaned back. It really need to have a function to turn off the scrubbers and also to turn off the suction independently. Latching the dirty water tank back up is annoying because as you flip the latch up to lock it in there are times it would miss the edge of the dirt water tank and get stuck up and next to it so its a pain to pop back out and then try to latch it again. This is after everything on the cleaner is wet and dumping it a lot during use. When you press the power button you can see the water that was being sucked up bubble down to the carpet and can see its wet when you move it. The water/soap trigger is not far enough back in the handle and the handle is huge like they made that part for Andre the Giant. After a long time of using it my fingers started to get tired because of this. I dont know if this typical of these machines but it is crazy loud. I use my active noise cancelling earbuds when using it and its still loud, the high pitched part is what gets me. When there is too much foam in the dirty tank the overflow floater pops up and you have to tilt the dirty water tank back to get a few extra passes and then dump it with the container only being half full of water. You have to angle the vacuum piece just at the proper angle to slide it back in after removing it to clean the fuzz filter for the vacuum part of it.

5 dogs. Two boys. We don’t wear shoes in house but still…. The carpet came out like the day it was installed. The darker marks are just the shading from paws and feet prints not dirt. This was better than expected. I highly recommend.

Easy to use
