Leaks everywhere!
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT unless you are cleaning your carpet or upholstery in a pool! We have used ours three times and the past two times it has leaks all over the floor. It leaks half the reservoir tank which is a huge mess. I have search google and checked all the corrections…still leaks. I have searched reddit and apparently this a common problem and no one has found a solution. Please save yourself the money and get a product that will not make your living room look like a flash flood!

Great carpet cleaner
This worked great on our carpet. Light carpet with traffic stains. I am very impressed. Easy to use. I wish I had this sooner. I have a smaller non Hoover machine that was not near as good.

Do NOT buy this!
I used it twice and the latch that holds the top part of the sucker broke while I was using it. It doesn’t even suck anymore bec the plastic part just slides off when you pull it to suck dry the carpet They won’t even do a return or exchange. The product and the company are no good. If I got compensated or sent a new one it would’ve been ok.

Carpet Cleaner model FH52000G broken belt
The small belt to the brush from the motor broke so the brushes will not turn on carpet. sounds like gears stripping, upon inspection the toothed side of the belt broke so the brush wheels stop and go when the broken spot of the 3/16 inch wide belt skips over the brush gears. Trying to order new replacement belt. Cleaner model # FH52000G serial number VN10.0 . Can not find the belt on line// Can't fix. Makes the unit useless

Cheaply made but expensive - does the job so far
I haven’t had any problems with it - nor have I had it very long. It seems to do the job pretty well though it’s not as easy for me to use as I’d hoped. It’s a bit difficult for me to get down to change the rollers, and I feel the machine could be easily broken because of all the plastic parts. It does not feel nearly as durable as the old (much heavier) Hoover I’ve had for many years. Hopefully Hoover,‘s quality hasn’t changed and this Hoover, will also last for a long time. I am hopeful.

Not happy
I liked the machine when it worked. However we bought this April of 2025 and I already need to spend money on replacement parts. The front floor plastic piece is cheaply made and broke. I also see this is a common problem for this particular machine. I also need to replace an end cap for a brush roll. With Hoover being such an old household name I expected way more from a product. Very disappointing.

Used this machine many many times. Love it. However, the last time I used it, the rollers (brushes) stop rotating. Now they spin freely like they are attached to anything. HELP !!!!!

Received a different item
Different color from the listing displayed and no manual anywhere. No any user instructions. No any installation videos in the listing or paper instructions in the package. Comes with a red color instead of the blue color. Very irresponsible seller.

It was the best shampooer I ever had until it quit working on me... I wish I could get a replacement. But they never would replace it so im looking to buy a new one when I get the money again. I was doing carpet cleaning videos with It on Facebook to support hoover until it quit. But now im looking for the next best option that I can make my videos with.

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!!
