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

Best carpet cleaner I have ever used. Easy hook up, easy break down to clean, very light cleaner, and drys floors very quick.

I moved into a house for rent and the carpet appeared brown. No odor so I never knew it was packed with mud. I used this vacuum 4 times throughout the week and my carpet is now the original tan color. I can definitely tell whoever had this house before me smoked. The smell was obvious once I started but quickly went away near the end of the task. 10/10 money well spent.

The level of dirt and grim found in the dirty water was mind boggling. Great product just be ready to be grossed out and humbled when you empty the tank the first time. I truly wanted to believe the tank was black and I forgot or it was very dark tint which would help explain the water color. Take your time as it isn’t a vacuum cleaner. you have to give it time to actually deep clean the carpet. I did the wash and plan on going over the carpet again on the rinse setting. My son has asthma and allergies so this is truly a life saver with pollen.

I absolutely love this machine! It’s a powerhouse cleaner. It holds a generous amount of water and it’s simple to use & clean. The multiple rotating scrubber heads really do scrub the carpets cleaner than any other unit I’ve ever used. I adore the rotating scrubbing head attachment for the hose as well bc it cleaned my couches deep down & it even scrubbed off all of the pills that accumulate on the sofas, leaving them looking and smelling fantastic. I have never seen or smelled my carpets & couches this clean, other than when they were new. Thank You!

I like this machine! We previously had a different brand, and we had to take it apart several times to get the suction going again/get it to work at all. It just stopped being worth the hassle. I wont name the brand, because we also had a house dog while we owned that shampooer, and now we dont. So a comparison may not be fair. Some people are complaining about certain things. I dont presume that they dont have valid complaints, but I will address a couple of them from my experience. I will also mention a few things Ive learned. Rusting/freezing up: I have used it probably 5 times, and have not had a problem. I always go over the carpet with just suction when I am done cleaning. I dump the water out of the clean and dirty tanks. I clean the filter and let it, and the dirty water tank, air dry before putting it back together. Maybe these steps help with the rust issue. Leaking: the only leak problem I had was on the first use: the soap dispenser drained completely, after only using it on one small carpet. I knew that was way too much soap (but wow, the carpet was clean!) I contacted customer service online. The guy was sympathetic but said he had never heard of this problem. I said I would try it again to see if it did it again, suspicious that I had done something wrong. My conclusion: user error. When replacing the dirty water tank, there is a lock on the front of the machine. It should snap into place and make a noticeable click when it is correctly placed. When it was not nested correctly, it caused the soap release button to be continuously pressed, causing soap to dispense all the time. So I have not ever had that problem again. Customer service: The rep I spoke with emailed me with a follow-up note, to ask if I was still having problems. I was impressed that he took that step. Since I had fixed my own error, all was well. I did not need further help, so I cant comment on how that might have gone. This cleans well, but Im sure it is not as good as a commercial shampooer. I have found that I may need to spot-treat some stains. For food or pet stains, one or two treatments with a pet stain cleaner with enzymes, prior to shampooing, does wonders. For very dirty, high traffic areas, I hit those first with the wash setting. Then I go over the entire carpet on the wash setting, then rinse well, and one more time with no just suction. I do think that the drying feature seems to dry it more than my previous machine did. My previous machine also had a heater for the clean water. This machine does not. I only fill it with hot water, and it is used up within 15 minutes, so I think this works just fine. One irritation I have is that the tanks never need attention at the same time, and I found myself stopping every five minutes to dump the dirty water, or fill the soap or clean water reservoirs. So now if one tank needs attention, I take both and dump/refill all in one trip. I can keep going longer that way. A very simple fix. There are attachments to use on upholstery or small areas. They are stored in a bag, which is not as convenient as having them all snapped right onto the machine. I have not used them yet, so I cant comment on how well those work. Also, I do not use the Hoover brand of soap. I make my own. I know that this is not recommended, and may void any warranty. Do so at your own risk, but I have not had any problems doing so. This was $130 when I bought it in 2018, and I have used it several times. We dont have a lot of carpet, but ours gets pretty dirty. My nearest place to rent a commercial shampooer is 20 miles away, and it costs $30 per day to rent. I have gotten my moneys worth out of this machine already. I hope it keeps running for a long time, but even if it doesnt, I am a satisfied customer. I am paying for convenience-no trips to pick up and return- as well as cleaning my carpet. If I wanted one to last for years and years, I would not expect to pay this amount. I am sad that some manufactured things these days end up being disposable, but I also dont want to fork over 3-5 times the amount for a more heavy-duty machine.

This is a great machine. Simple to use and put together. I can imagine for larger areas you will need to stop and dump the water intake tank, however that should be no reason not to buy it. I was amazed at how well it cleans. We had a professional carpet cleaner come in, and a couple weeks after we needed to spot treat a dog urine mess. I was very much impressed with how much dirt came up, along with the urine, even after the professional cleaning we had done not too much time before. Very much worth the money.

We got the XL for pets and I will say it was a great investment. I’m not even done with my hallway and I already see a major difference. You don’t have to work super hard to get the area clean. I did have the previous version and it did leak and it was a little harder to maintain. This one comes with a wand that helps you keep the wheels clean which is also a plus. we have two teenage boys, 2 cats and 1 dog who run in and out their room all day long and it’s an extremely high traffic area. all in all we really like this carpet cleaner it’s 5 stars for us!

It’s okay as far as a do- it-yourself carpet cleaner- they’re ALL not fun to use! It didn’t work so well on a thin rug on my hard floor- wouldn’t suck up the water very well- but okay on carpet. The squeegee attachment for hard floors was NOT in the mesh bag or box as described in the manual. I’m impressed with the hand held attachments, though.

I have carpet that’s really brand new, only six months old, but because it’s very light, it took stains quickly, even though I had people takeoff their shoes. I couldn’t find a carpet cleaner who would work Highup on a penthouse, so I decided to just buy one and see how it went. I figured I could return it if it didn’t actually work. That’s the thing I like about Amazon. I think the picture speaks for itself. The carpets were badly soiled and you can see on the middle strip where I cleaned only one side, that the clean side is almost like brand new. I’ve never written a review before, but I’m motivated to do this, because it worked beyond my expectations

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.
