Hoover Quick & Light SteamVac not bad at all
For the past 8-9 years I have been renting a RugDoctor carpet cleaner from Home Depot two to three times a year. Our carpets were brand new when we bought our house 20 years ago which was three kids and two dogs ago. I would love to rip and replace our carpets but not spending that kind of money right now.
My situation is unique in that I did not have to pay anything for my Hoover Quick & Light because our bank Visa had an awards program. The awards website just said Hoover Steam Vac and I saw several good reviews online. Once we actually received the unit I did a new search for reviews of the Quick & Light and was dissapointed that the majority were not good. I actually took it down to my local Hoover store to see if I could trade up for something better. No go.
So I figured I was stuck with another crappy device that would underperform and waste time. I am happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised when I first used the Hoover. It did just as good as job as the...
Works well, easy to use. changing the water is pain
The Hoover Quick and Light Carpet Cleaner did a a pretty good job of cleaning our carpet. It wasn't as efficient to use as I would have hoped and we had to change the water a few times. Despite these kinks, the unit seemed to do a good job of cleaning the carpet and was effective at lifting even some older, darker spots with the help of a spot-remover pre-spray. Final clean-up of the unit was simple and fast. I plan to use the unit again.
Pros
+ It was easy to assemble
+ Simple instructions and was fairly straightforward in its use
Cons
- We used almost an entire bottle of cleaning solution for about 500 sq. feet of carpet, following the dose guidelines in the manual.
- The clean water tank required three fill ups, and the dirty water tank had to be emptied six times
- It would be nice if the instructions explained that there is an automatic shut-off valve in the dirty water tank, as it took me a couple minutes to figure out why the...
Good smaller size carpet cleaner
I just got the Hoover Quick and light carpet cleaner a few weeks ago but right away put it too the test. The carpet near my front door gets a lot of traffic and it shows, after using this Hoover carpet cleaner I was pleased to see it did a decent job returning my carpet to how it once looked. The machine comes with a sample bottle of carpet cleaner so I used it. You load the upper tank with a cap of soap and then top it off with the hottest tap water you can get. The tank lifts out making it easy to fill just like the waste water tank, once full the sensor shuts the vacuum flow telling you it's time to empty the waste water tank. Both tanks are on the small size so be ready to stop refill and go again. I was pleased finding the carpet was damp not wet after cleaning, most of the water returns to the waste tank speeding up drying time. One big plus to this machine is the handheld brush, you can clean a lot more than just carpet and it does a great job too! I think this is the smallest...
