Q: where is the hook up on the machine to do the stairs?

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.

Q: Can any commercial cleaning solution be used or must it be the Hoover brand?
submitted by tlee - 6 years ago
A: 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.
submitted byJean - 6 years agoA: 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.

Kyla M - 11 days ago
I have a light colored rug in my family room and it had gotten dirty over the years. I had used another brand’s older machine and it just didn’t clean well. As a last resort, I bought this machine and it changed the game. The first pass took away years of dirt. Then the strong suction dried my carpet really well, too. I had thought I’d need a new rug but not now. Thank you Hoover!!!

5 Year Warranty misleading
3 out of 5 stars
Shikha - 13 days ago
This is a great product. I am giving it 3 stars for its customer service and ethics. I have used it for 2 years and it works great. However, recently my endcap bearing fell off. As advertised, I am still under the warranty period as per their bold heading. When I called the customer service, they said that it was a consumable part and is not covered under the warranty. So if a part breaks, your entire product that does not work is not covered for 5 years. The warranty on that is only 90 days. Cheap! Right! The customer service said it would be $4.99 for the part and $9.95 for the shipping. So while this is a great product, please do not be fooled by the 5 years warranty part. I ordered it off Amazon and saved $4.50 ish.

Huge Disappointment - Had to use a ShopVac to suck up water
1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Kristy Fox - 15 days ago, Verified purchaser
The reason I chose this machine was because it claims "Auto Dry delivers powerful extraction with HeatForce™ for faster drying". That is exactly why I chose this model. The machine is supposed to use warm air to speed up the drying process, this NEVER happened. Not only did this machine not extract the water/soap, I had to use a shop vac to do it. My first issue with this machine was that there is no way to empty the dirty water reservoir without making a mess, I believe it's a poor design. The second issue is that the dry feature quit working. Of course, none of the troubleshooting tips were of help. I had a living room floor that was wet from the 'wash' phase and could not get the machine to extract it. I had to leave my house and find a shop vac to suck up the water. I was beyond frustrated. I should have returned the machine immediately, but failed to do so. I believe the front of the machine needs to be lower and heavier to enable proper extraction. My third issue is more of a suggestion. It would be nice if there were a way to clean the bottom of the machine, the rollers, cover, etc. without dragging around the cord. If the cord could be made to be removable for cleaning, that would be a game-changer. PS. Have you noticed when Hoover responds to the reviews, no matter the problem, they have a standard reply "Please visit our Hoover Support library https://hoover.com/pages/product-support-library to access our video library and choose other support options." The Customer Support is a joke, they don't offer any real help or compensation, just useless form-letter instructions.

Within a few (3-4) uses the dry function stopped working. I’ve done every troubleshooting criteria, without success. Quite disappointing. The initial uses were awesome; I’d looked forward to keeping it for a few years as it was an expensive purchase.

my husband surprised me with this for Christmas 2024. It has only worked properly twice since then. The brushes won't spin, they try to then stop and it flashes wash and dry and says dry only. I have cleaned the brushes and the hoses many many times and still nothing! Completely a waste of money. I really wanted to like this carpet cleaner.

Horace - 23 days ago, Verified purchaser
This is the second one and both units worked flawlessly for about 15 minutes. Then it stopped working, would turn on, but brushes wouldn't spin and soap leaked out of the side. While it was working it was great, but it gave out. I am returning today for refund, there seems to be some flaw in machine, or maybe I am doing too much trying to shampoo a 10x12 carpeted floor, when it worked it was great, see pics. However I couldn't finish the room. And yes I cleaned the filter.

This Hoover smart wash carpet cleaner does clean the carpets well, however, it does not extract the water well, even though it has a dry only option. Definitely not as good as the older Hoover version was. The carpet takes quite a bit of time to dry; at least 3+ hours.

This is the easiest to use, upright carpet cleaner that I've ever used. I did better with it than the $500 professionals did last year. Follow the instructions and vacuum well before you start. I used a high-quality professional grade cleaner that I bought online.
