Q: where is the hook up on the machine to do the stairs?
submitted by Smoothie - 5 years ago
A: is it close by where you remove the front plate to clean the brushes?
submitted bySmoothie - 5 years agoA: On the front above the nozzle is a small latch/hatch/access point that is colored differently than the surrounding base. Open that and connect the hose there. If you need further assistance, please reach out to us at Hoovercommunity@ttifloorcare.com we'll be happy to help! Thanks, Joseph - The Hoover Team

Q: Can any commercial cleaning solution be used or must it be the Hoover brand?
submitted by tlee - 5 years ago
A: Thank you for your question! We only recommend using Hoover Solutions with your Hoover SmartWash because our solutions are designed to work with your cleaner to provide the best possible clean. Non-brand solutions could have undesirable effects on your cleaner and floors. Thanks, Joseph - The Hoover Team
submitted byHooverUSA - 5 years agoBrand expertA: This is my favorite carpet cleaner ever! I've always used a mixture of either Mrs. Meyers, or Mrs. Meyers and 1/4 cup bleach (never bleaches my carpet, only santizes it) and I've used even laudry soap and bleach (small amounts of each) and have had exceptional results. I think they want you to use the Hoover brand cleaners for obvious reasons, but I've always used other methods when I ran out of the cleaner that comes with the machine. If your uneasy about the bleach mixture try a little on a small patch first. But I've always put about a 1/4 cup in my full water tank to sanitize my carpet. Love it.

Q: Is there a easy way to clean the clear plastic part where the water sucks up through? My old one kept getting clogged with pet hair!
submitted by Daisymom - 29 days ago
A: Thank you for the question. To clean the nozzle cover of your Hoover SmartWash Automatic Carpet Cleaner Machine, and upright Shampooer, we have a cleanout tool available. Part # 440015293. Additionally, it is best to clean the nozzle cover immediately after use. Remove the cover, and run warm water through it. Hope this helps. ~ The Hoover Tam

Q: So if i only push forward that will scrub in the soap and then i can let it sit, then pull backwards to vacuum 10 minutes later after the cleaning solution has time to soak in?
submitted by Lissy50 - 1 month ago
A: Great question. Hoover SmartWash Automatic Carpet Cleaner Machine and Upright Shampooer automatically senses when to wash and dry as you move, optimizing every clean without the need for a trigger. SmartWash+ senses which way you’re moving and washes as you move forward or dries when you pull back. Hope this information is helpful! ~The Hoover Team

Love this light weight but sturdy cleaner. Wonderful feature having a light indicator as to wetting or drying the carpet. Like not having to spray the solution. Separate containers for clean and dirty water allows easy visibility of effectiveness. Love this little machine!

Overpriced piece of junk, broke in 2 yrs.

This machine lasted less than two years. The impeller broke, rendering the upholstery attachment useless. The price tag does not match the poor quality. I’m incredibly disappointed, as I took great care of the machine, always careful to wash and dry the brushes, tanks, and other user-facing components. In spite of my efforts, the poor quality of the machine inevitably caused it to break down through normal and careful use.
Very Disappointed

I have a been a loyal carpet cleaner for many years. I recently bought the smartwash automative carpet cleaner. The wash mode works but the dry mode not so much. It does not dry the carpet and if you use just the "dry cycle only" to pick up excess water it trips the electric circuit breaker. Looking for a new carpet cleaner.

Title: Hoover Smart Wash - A Total Disappointment! Rating: 1/5 stars I'm extremely disappointed with my brand new Hoover Smart Wash. I took it out of the box, followed the instructions, and attempted to use it just once. Unfortunately, it didn't work at all. No water came out, and the machine didn't seem to be functioning properly. I was expecting a high-quality product, but this thing didn't even get the job done once. Given its poor performance right out of the box, I'm concerned about the build quality and durability of this product. As a brand new purchase, I expected it to work flawlessly, but it seems like I got a dud. I'm not sure if it's a manufacturing defect or a design flaw, but either way, I'm not impressed. The fact that it didn't work even once is frustrating, and I'm now left wondering if I should return it or try to get a replacement. If you're considering purchasing the Hoover Smart Wash, I'd advise you to think twice and maybe look into other options. Until Hoover proves otherwise, I'd say avoid this product. Maybe it's just a one-off issue, but based on my experience, I wouldn't take the risk.

I have had my hoover for a few years and now all of a sudden the hose on it has a hole in it and it no longer sucks up the water it spews out onto my carpet so now I just have a disgusting carpet and hoover does not have online where you can purchase another hose attachment. I am more disappointed than anything especially after paying what I did.

The first few times it worked great. Then the plastic parts don't hold up well. They break and crack and don't fit together to suction up the dirty water. I spent more time trying to fix it than cleaning carpet with it. Disappointing

First time use. I'm giving this carpet cleaner it 3 stars in hope that Hoover support will eventually contact me. The brushes are not rotating. I tried Hoover's suggestions and no luck. Hoover help site says to contact Hoover to chat if their suggestions do not work. That is a dead end. I'm very frustrated.

The brush cover keeps coming off. You will spend more time re-attaching than you will actually cleaning the carpet. The dirty water tank does not hold much so be ready to keep having to dump constantly. I wish that I had gone with a different carpet cleaner.

In the moment it’s a 5! When I saw the wet vac on sale, I snagged it as a present to myself. The assembly was easy and straightforward - my teen did it! After a vacuum we cleaned two carpets. The vacuum is lightweight despite the water tanks. Pushing forward is washing and back is drying. Once we were satisfied with the washing, a dry only button was available for another pass. We turned on the overhead fans for quicker drying. Overall it was damp but not soaked. The water tank was … gross! We definitely removed a lot of dirt from shoes and animals. When the dirty water was filled to the max we noticed the wash feature stalled until we emptied it. Clean up was simple, both the tanks and brush area. We definitely captured a lot of dog hair because vacuuming can only do so much. More rugs to wash and looking forward to using the hose attachment to clean our couch. Just got my bottle of cleaner - the equipment only came with a small bottle to get you started.
Great cleaner
