About Hoover Smartwash Automatic Carpet Cleaner, FH52000
Overall Feedback:
96% positive
91% appreciated the variety of attachments, while 9% found them unnecessary.
I use Hoover brand deep cleaning shampoo and it smells amazing.
All compartments release easily for cleaning and there are no weird nooks and crannies.
I haven't used the attachments yet, but I'm fairly confident that I won't be disappointed.
I have not used the upholstery attachments yet, but they come in a bag to keep them organized.

89% praised for its effective cleaning
I liked the performance of the unit so much that I went on to buy a handheld, portable spot cleaner by Hoover and was very happy with that purchase as well.
I found that the Hoover Smartwash picked up an unbelievable amount of dirt and grit from a nine-month-old carpet.
The best thing about this machine is the ability to remove specific components and clean them out. It allows me to remove dog hair and sanitize it after my child got sick.
91% found it exceptionally durable, though 9% had durability concerns.
In the past, if there was an issue with the soap tank, I had to replace the whole thing.
After only one use, the bearings of our second unit rusted.
The stopper is unusable due to corrosion and ripping.
94% appreciated its user-friendly design
The machine is easy to use without a trigger. You can push it forward to wash and pull it back to dry.
The shampooer is very easy to use with an automatic cleaning solution dispenser, eliminating the need to mix cleaner and water. It is used just like a normal vacuum.
The machine is easy to use and cleans extremely well with good suction and liquid extraction. The cleaning solution mixes itself with shampoo in the reservoir, so I didn't have to mix it. After cleaning, the carpet came clean and almost completely dry.
85% liked the quiet operation, but 15% found it too loud.
There is no indication to tell that the fresh water tank is empty. The only indicator is the sound of the unit that changes to a higher, faster tone.
After only a couple of uses, the first machine started making a loud noise that sounded like the motor was giving out.
I heard a sound like a suck and then a small pop as if I sucked up something big like a tissue. This indicates that the noise level of the machine is high and it is not user-friendly.
My carpet-upholstery-cleaning-machine suddenly and dramatically changed its suction noise, indicating an increase in noise level.
93% liked its portability
The detachable housing nods to item one and lifts out easily for open access to the brushes and grim, which can be wiped away with a rag.
89% highlighted the strong suction power
I find the machine amazing as it picks up so much dirt and grime. It can even be compared to a vacuum cleaner.
The vacuum cleaner is powerful enough to pull out more dirt, pet hair, human hair, etc than I have ever seen, no matter how many times I vacuum.
I was able to clean a 20 foot microfiber couch in just an hour with the machine.
The vacuum strength of this machine is great. It easily sucks up all kinds of dirt and mess. I also had a dog accident and the stain was gone after swiping over it 3 times.
