About Hoover PowerScrub Elite Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner Shampooer
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
75% appreciated the variety of attachments, while 25% found them unnecessary.
I found that the product worked well on carpets and area rugs but was terrible when used with the attachment on furniture.
I noticed that this model has a rinse control and many other models do not have it. Without a rinse option, a lot of shampoo and residue is left in the carpet.
This model has a rinse control, unlike many others, which leaves a lot of shampoo and residue in the carpet without it.
When I tried to clean a larger area, the product did not work properly. It left the carpet soaked without sucking up the water.
The water and solution mix lasts for a long time, but the amount of solution to put in is not clear.
79% praised its effective cleaning, but 21% found it left some dirt behind.
When I used the machine, I found that the suction power and cleaning ability were good initially, but it stopped working frequently and was inconsistent.
The soap leaks into everything, regardless of the cleaning setting, which is a huge problem.
Cleaning adds at least 20 minutes per room.
It took me over an hour to clean a few rooms and the carpets were left very wet, which raises concerns about mildew/mold.
75% found it exceptionally durable, though 25% had durability concerns.
I do not recommend the product highly because of its poor durability.
I am dissatisfied with the product as it has numerous flaws.
I contacted customer service and was informed that other customers have experienced air in the line, indicating durability issues with the machine.
I am not recommending the product due to durability issues I faced.
81% appreciated its user-friendly design, while 19% found it complicated.
The best feature of the product is the little hand wand. Once the cord is straightened out fully, it is very easy to use.
The Hoover Powerscrub is easier to turn and more movable than the Rug Doctor.
The product is easy to assemble and operate, but cleaning carpets takes more time than the rentable version. Tanks need frequent refilling and emptying.
The machine is not easy to use as the soap leaks into everything, regardless of the setting used.

88% liked the quiet operation, but 12% found it too loud.
The machine is very noisy and ear plugs are a must.
The first machine broke down and started making a funny noise, then it smelled of burning rubber.
Cleaning speed did not affect the noise level.
I have noticed that the machine works great until there is a change in the sound and dirty water stops flowing into the reservoir.

75% highlighted the strong suction power, although 25% thought it was weak.
The first machine broke randomly and started smelling of burning rubber.
During cleaning, the little blue plunger with the filter popping up causes frustration as the suction power stops every 10 seconds.
