Hoover PowerDash Pet Compact Carpet Cleaner, Shampooer Machine, Lightweight, FH50700, Blue

Decided to give this a try to see if I can clean the stain on a very white long shaggy rug. My expectation wasn’t that high after reading other reviews about shaggy rug. OMG!! This works GREAT!! It has no problem cleaning a very long shaggy rug!! Very good investment!!

We have 23 year-old carpet. Planning to replace with hard flooring, but we have a 3 month old puppy, so...waiting until hes potty trained. Anyway, I vacuum once a week (more if necessary) with a Dyson vacuum. I steam clean the carpet at least once a year (just me, the hubby and 2 dogs, so not tons of foot traffic). We always remove our shoes in our mudroom, and dogs enter/exit through there too. When I went to clean my carpet this weekend, my old heavy Hoover died half-way through my living room. I hopped online, frustrated I couldnt get my weekend project done, and not looking forward to spending a fortune on a new unit. I found this on Amazon and couldnt believe an inexpensive cleaner would do a good job, but the reviews were good AND I could get it overnight! I could still get the project done over the weekend! As promised, the machine was delivered right away in the morning. Assembly was a breeze (handle, post, water reservoir and dirty water reservoir). I LOVE that the on/off power is a foot pedal! Genius! I love the lightweight design, too. Pushing/pulling this Hoover around my living room was SO much easier on my back and knees than my last dinosaur! 3 downsides: This unit isnt as wide, so it takes more passes to clean each room. The water reservoirs are also smaller, so more trips to add water and dump dirty water. Cleaning this machine after use and before storing it is a bit involved. To remove the brush roller to clean, 6 screws need to be removed to take it out. BUT...those 3 minor downsides are MORE than made up for by how FLOORED I was (see what I did there?) at how great this unit performed! My carpet is dark beige, and I thought it wasnt dirty. My old unit died half-way through my living room, so I went back over that already-cleaned part first to get used to the new machine. OMG, the dirt, hair, fuzz and sand (where the heck???) that came out of the cleaned area!! I cleaned 4 foot square sections at a time (shampoo solution first, then back over with only water, then back over a 3rd time to remove as much moisture as possible). Ew, the stuff I got out was incredible. The powerful suction of this little Hoover did a great job of removing water, but also raising the nap of the carpet! My carpet doesnt look new, but it looks SO much better, feels clean and soft. For the price, you cant go wrong with this little powerhouse! So glad I took a chance and bought it!

We had stains on our carpet from pets. We would spot clean, but it never completely removed the stains. So I decided to try this Hover Power Dash Pet Carpet Cleaner and Im so glad I did. It has restored our carpet to its original state - utterly amazing. I only gave it 4 stars because of the cumbersome way to clean all the parts. Some areas required having to take the screws off. Other than that, we were so satisfied. Some of these stains were years old and now they are gone. Great product and liquid solution.

It works pretty good no is easy to use. One flaw is that after cleaning a section and changing water and waste I noticed that it was leaking dirty water. You have to completely lift the unit to a place you can rinse the brush unit. I have a dog and a cat. I vacuumed well before hand but still had some hair in the brushed that needed to be rinsed out. This is why I think it leaks dirty water. So basically every time you change the water you have to rinse the brush unit too.

Easy assembly easy fill water/ cleaner bottle and easy empty dieting water empty process. Used one time one day after delivery and cleaned 2 bedroom light color carpers one long runner closet carpet one hallway runner carpet 2 small bathroom carpet mats and one medium living room center carpet, this required 3 full clean water bottles with cleaner but cleaning was exceptionally good with hoover cleaning liquid supplied with small bottle already all used up. Pet stains from one cat were removed 90 percent and a weekly clean with this machine will keep carpets rugs looking very good for a long time. Lightweight and easy to move around on carpets it really lifted a lot of dirty brown water . The best policy is to not over wet the carpets rugs and so greatly reduce drying time. Additional cleaning weekly will improve carpet appearance even more. Great price for a great little cleaner . Highly recommended for its cleaning ability at this time of writing.

I have a low pile rug in my living room and it was impossible to keep it clean. I have one medium hair cat and this rug is her favorite place to hang out. It is a 10 x 12 rug and it was taking me, no lie, over 2 hours to vacuum or clean and it still looked awful. I decided to try to get a shampooer especially designed for removing animal hair. This model appealed to me due to it being described as lightweight but still having great suction. That is it in a nutshell. I had a Hoover carpet cleaner for 20 years and it worked great, my only quibble was the weight, had to be over 20 pounds so my carpets werent cleaned as much as they should. This machine is perfect for my needs. I would read the other reviews, it works best when you take your time, put down a small area with solution, then SLOWLY go over it to remove all the water. If you sweep like a vacuum, using more speed to vacuum will actually take more time. Assembly takes about 5 minutes tops, and the directions to assemble and use is included and straightforward. A small bottle of cleaning solution is included, probably for three or our tanks. The suction on this small machine is incredible. You could feel the machine almost latch on to the carpet and I felt like the solution was getting deep into the surface and then really getting sucked out. I had high suction only until the supply canister of water/cleaner was just about out. I did no prep work on the carpet so it was absolutely full of cat hair, shredded paper, dirt, etc. Since this was the first time cleaning, I wanted to get it as clean as possible, and I needed a little bit of time to see how to best operate it. An hour later, the rug was shampooed and it took about an hour. The collection pail water was very dark brown, which was gross but not as gross as realizing I was walking on it and my cat was rolling around in it. The price was fantastic well under $100. I would expect it be well over $100. I rent out furnished apartments and Im going to buy at least one more machine to use for my business. Its an excellent investment, particularly if you own an animal or if you rent to individuals who have animals. 5/5 stars:: excellent machine!

Ive been married 50 years..5 kids, numerous pets, and now grandkids. This is the easiest, and best shampooer Ive ever used. It is lightweight, cleans the worst , dried up spots!

This is the best pet stain cleaner. Very light weight, easy to assemble. Easy to use. Does the job quickly. I have had other cleaners that were heavy and awkward. I don’t use the stain cleaner that comes with it. It seems to leave a residue in the carpet. I only add Clear ammonia to the cleaning water and it does a perfect job. !!!!!

Definitely Happy with this. Definitely made a difference and works I will buy the bigger version too just because I know this is good. Easy to clean. Comes with a mini shampoo but I got the big bottle too and definitely get the big bottle with it I have carpets in every room but kitchen and bathroom and I did all of them but did need the big bottle.

This white carpet is pet proof but it still gets lots of outdoor dirt tracked through and more cat hair than I realized. I’ve used this machine three times so far and the carpet starts with dark areas and once cleaned, looks great. I go very lightly with the soap and am careful to only use the water on spots because of my pet but it works well. Very pleased.
