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

This cleaner really does a very good job. My only complaint is I find I have to empty the retrieving tank much more often as it seems like it is a smaller capacity then a previously owned Hoover product. In the past I could do my entire house and empty it just once. With his model yesterday I had to empty it three times. But again performance wise it does work great.

I wanted to write this review after I’ve used it a few times. I previously had the bissell pro heat. All things are made of plastics now, it lasted about 3 years. I like that this unit has a separate container for clean water and dirty water. And they are huge. I love that it has separate soap dispenser then the clean water. You can wash an area and the flip the switch and rinse it without having to change out the container. My old unit had two long horizontal brushes, this one has several round brushes. I don’t feel I can go as fast as with the other but it seems to do a better job. I bought the one without heat and for that price I think it’s very good. My old unit had heat and it really didn’t seem to make a difference in the cleaning. I highly recommend buying this.

Wow! I had read the reviews, but I still wasnt prepared for how amazing this machine is! We had some horrible stains that we assumed could had been grease dragged in by our mechanic son. We tried different sprays and couldnt get the stains out. My son used this carpet cleaner, and after he went over the stains a few times, they disappeared. I wish I had before photos to show you how great it is. The dirty water also blew me away after he cleaned the room. I had no idea how bad the carpet was, even though its vacuumed at least once a week. The water was full of dirt and cat hair. This machine is worth every penny. I plan to talk my son into cleaning every room in the house now! Highly recommend!!

There’s only a few reviews specifically about shag rugs so I wanted to add mine for anyone curious! I bought a used shag rug off of marketplace (I know! The horror!). I’ve always wanted a luxuriously plush shaggy rug, but was worried about the upkeep. I decided to buy one used, and cheap, before committing. I got this rug and vacuumed the heck out of it. It took 4 vacuum sessions, and a few shake outs to get all of the junk out of the deep fibers. Then I went to town with the shampooer. I have owned the power dash pet cleaner as well, and this one has less suction power in my opinion. The bristles also seem gentler and not as vigorous. However, this model has many more pros than those 2 cons. Taking out and emptying the chamber is so simple compared to the dash. I love the hose attachment. But the best part of this model is the RINSE option!!! LOVE IT! This rug feels so sparkling clean now. I even dug through the fibers to make sure I got all of the crud out of it. This machine did not eat up the long fibers at all, either! I will say that it took a lot of drying which was very tedious. If you’re cleaning a shag with this, make sure to really spend extra time drying it. I then hung it to dry out even more. I don’t expect this shampoo model to last longer than a year or two unfortunately. It seems all of these machines get too broken down internally by moisture. I owned two powerdash pets that broke within 1-2 years. This time I am trying to really focus on airing out the unit before putting it back into storage. I will update if anything goes amiss!

After I finished the dirty water was as black as printers ink and the carpet was beige not brown. I used the cleaner again the following week. The dirty water was grey this time, so progress on this filthy carpet. I found out later that this carpet hadnt been washed in 22 years! I will use the cleaner again in a couple more days, and when I expect 22 years of dirt will be vanquished completely. I highly recommend this product; its the best.

We did the whole house. Big area rugs and a carpet. Dries quickly.

I have bought 4 Bissells in the past 8 years and they didn’t seem to get all the water out.. When I decided to go for Hoover & couldn’t believe how wonderful this was.. The carpet was not only clean put barely damp. I couldn’t believe how good this was. It is #1 for a person who like her house clean & fresh. I also used it on my bathroom tile floors. I have a extremely hard time getting hairspray off the floor but not anymore!! You have wheels underneath instead of having one & that makes a huge difference.. If you like a clean house, this is like a toy & I get excited to use it cause I know my house is clean. Furniture, carpets, cars & tile floors!! ❤️❤️

I absolutely love this machine! I researched for 3 months before purchase. I usually rent rug Doctor wide track and have been for years. Its a heavy machine but heavy duty so comparison in products to purchase was a hard sell. Ease of attachments: This was very versatile with little work. I cleaned my entire sectional (pets, kids, spills) in 15 minutes. The attachments water return is equal to what it puts out. I used the upholstery attachment here. Stairs: the machine not only has a long cord but also a long hose. We have 12 steps. I left the machine at the bottom of the stairs and completed 8. Then moved it to the top and completed the last 4. I used the stair, crevice and scrub power tool. AMAZING! The attachments and the hose come in a neat mesh hanger bag for easy storage. Dry time on the attachments are a little longer because the heat drying system is not distributed through the hose. No big deal it did a fantastic job! I only had to go over it once. I even did my car mats!! They look brand new, again, kids, dog, spills. Dog pee: My dog gets spiteful and will pee on my cream colored carpet!!! AHHH. Alot of the time these sit, gross!! The scrubbing power (5 rotating scrub brushes) had no problem erasing these in one pass. Oh yeah and no more odors! My pet isnt a smelly girl but after awhile the carpets just smell from her hair! Fresh smelling rooms when I was done. It is a good idea to run a rinse after the wash cycle. use less soap than the fill tank requires. Cut it by half and add water instead or youll have bubbles. No issue after decreasing amount. Weight: very light but durable. I have back and neck injuries and I could carry it even with a full tank. Easy to clean! With reading little direction ( although the pamphlet is very descriptive) the parts came off easily for cleaning and went back easily too! The tanks are easy release and easy to clean. Theres a quick pour spout on the dirty tank to allow quick emptying when still Cleaning and also a latch system that allows it to come apart when complete. Leaking: It didnt leak when moving it, when I used the hose attachment I didnt fasten it and hadnt realized for a minute. This was the only time I had any water on the floor. The gallon tank was helpful. I did my couch and the dog room on one tank before changing it. The water return also is exactly what it put out. You can run this machine dry without any issue like others in the past. We covered, cleaning, attachments, tank size, cord length, hose length, weight, leaking potential, pet stains. I think thats alot of ground! Oh and assembly was 1,2,3. Just take two screws into base of handle and go! No messing with hoses or any mechanical gadgets! Im extremely happy with this purchase. Hoover has not always had all my faith but for this machine we are going to become great friends. I have already told you it took 3 months of research. Im picky and needed alot from my chosen machine. All in all I give this machine a 5 out of a 5

It is heavy, but it works great.

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 ,
