 wheres the steam November 16, 2008
Its easy to use,and clean after use. From the product title "SteamVac" i was thinking i was getting a unit that heated the cleaning solution. It does not. I use very hot water and that helps. The attachments are a pain to use and do not work very well. I could do the same with my ShopVac and a spray bottle. I have put them away and won't use them. On the plus side the vac does pull up most of the water and gets the dirt out.
 Great product! November 16, 2008
Excellent instructions. Machine works like a charm. Only had it now for a couple of weeks; but works great!
Could not be easier November 16, 2008
This machine was great. Easy to use and easy to clean up afterwards.
Better than I ever would have believed. Tomorrow I am trying it out on Hard floor. I sent for the hardfloor attachment and if it does well I will have to say this machine is a perfect 10.
 Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge November 16, 2008
Vaccuum is heavy and hard to maneuver, which is why I gave I took away a star. For hair and small items, it is hard to clean with this vaccuum as it gets stuck. So according to Hoover, you need to vaccuum first with a regular vaccuum and then use the steam cleaner. That's why I took away another star.
Otherwise, it does the job really well. I didn't realize how much dirt I had in my carpets until I emptied my vaccuum. The water turned black! Also, the cleaning solution that comes with the vaccuum dries really fast, within 30 min, which is good when you live in a city where it's cold most of the year. I just turned the fan on to aid in the drying process.
Does the job November 16, 2008
Used it once soon after purchase. Pretty easy to assemble and use. Pulled a LOT of dirt out of our carpet, despite regular vacuuming. A tough spot or two remained, but maybe pre-cleaning as per directions would help. Overall, the machine did a really nice job. I've read customer complaints about cheap easily-broken plastic, but I'm guessing, with some common-sense care in assembling and disassembling parts and manipulating controls, etc., the unit should hold up reasonably well. Clean-up can be a bit messy, but a lot easier than our previous Hoover portable.
