Don’t buy
I bought this to replace an older model. This one is difficult to use and does not do a good job like my older one.

Loud revving down
I got mine as a gift March 2022 and 4 years later mine is telling me its had enough. I only use on 1 area rug and once a year on my mother in laws carpets. Last time I used it I noticed it making a loud noise. I do have a puppy and she missed her pee pad and got some on the area rug, so I decided to shampoo it, noticed it didnt sound normal. I turned it off and it was revying down loud and long and it really sounds like its going to die on me. Its never made this sound before. I really do love my shampooer but am disappointed

The 2nd Smartwash+ That Broke On Me
This is the second SmartWash I have owned. I have one carpet in my entire hone, an 8x12 rug in the living room,so it's not like the cleaner gets a lot of use. Anyway, the first cleaner lasted a year, this one lasted 4 uses before the nozzle in front of the machine broke. Same as last time: I now have 2 broken springs and 1 plastic nub in my hand and a carpet cleaner that no longer works. Again!!.What a waste of money!!

I'd buy again
Gave this 4 stars because the directions are not clear or detailed enough. But the unit works well once you figure out the tanks and making sure you have them on tight.

Wash & Dry in one. Easy to use, fill, dump, clean
This item is amazing! The best investment I’ve ever purchased. I’ve been in my apartment for four years and my apartment complex does not do a good job at coming in to clean our carpet so I finally bought a carpet cleaner and I am amazed. I love it. My carpet is like new thank you Hoover.

So far so good
I like it so far. The smell isn’t fantastic but I’m happy it’s not gross. I was surprised at how much dirt it picked up since we’ve had our carpet power washed be professionals 2-3 times in the past two months. So it’s a keeper. Any chance I can use it on my mattress? Also, I’ve been looking for the anti-allergen solution and it’s sold out everywhere. Is it discontinued? What can I use instead?

True to the brand
Cleaning power is remarkable what was even more outstanding was the drying power

works great!
I like how it automatically knows when to use the cleaner instead of me holding down a button. I also like how you can use the "dry only" option. My only recommendation would be for a longer cord.

Excellent upgrade
I have had a hoover carpet cleaner for over 20 years, and I had two of the same kind. The last one over 10 years, but it was time for an upgrade. This is an amazing upgrade. It is lightweight, easy to use just like the other ones and really got the carpet clean! I am so glad I made this purchase. I know I will have it for years to come.

Love the hoover but the parts are cheap
I received my hoover and already a part was busted before I was even able to assemble it. it does a good job cleaning but I find it to take more time then my last steam cleaner to get a stain out.

Great monitors for triple screen racing simulator
I have these monitors mounted on a Simlab freestanding triple monitor mount. Works great. The monitors have a 100X100 Vesa pattern that is under the cover that would hold the monitor for a desk mount. Pop that plastic piece off, and I recommend using the long standoffs that come with these monitors so the little plastic thing does not interfere with monitor adjustment if you are using the Vario Vesa adapters for a triple monitor setup. I used the little standoffs that came with the Vario Vesa adapters and the back of the monitor sits a little close limiting the vertical range of adjustment. These montiors look really cool, and the images are great. I am getting about 140 FPS running them at 2560x1440 in Assetto Corsa on Ultra detail and a Powerspec G760 gaming computer. Definitely recommend these for value and quality!

Disappointed
I bought this some time ago(1 year), and I have had to replace two parts already. Now the water tank leaks before it’s even powered on. Making this the third part that will need to be replaced within a year.

A must have
Between my adult children and me, we own three of these machines. They are fantastic. I recommend having one on hand at all times, especially if you have pets and children!
