Using hot tap water and cleaning solution, the 12-amp Hoover SteamVac V2 deep cleans carpet fibers, tough stains, and upholstery. It is also suitable for tile, ceramic, marble, and linoleum floors (though not appropriate for hardwoods). Named for its dual-nozzle construction, the cleaner provides efficient water removal and thorough edge-to-edge cleaning. The nozzle design forces hot air into the cleaning path and automatically rinses carpet clean on the backward pull. The SpinScrub brushes agitate ground-in dirt and can be turned off with a simple switch. Using a two-tank design that holds up to a gallon of water at a time, the cleaner automatically blends the cleaning solution, so you do not have to monitor it. Both tanks feature an enclosed design and convenient handles, making them easy to remove and transport. The recovery tank automatically shuts off suction when full and comes with a built-in lint screen. A removable view window on the nozzle lets you see dirty water returning to the machine. For above-floor tasks, the cleaner comes with an 8-foot hose, a stair/upholstery tool, and a SpinScrub hand tool with rotating brushes. Conversion to tool cleaning is manual but quick, and you can remove the hose and tool caddy altogether for more streamlined use. The cleaner comes with a carrying handle, a 27-foot cord, quick-release cord hooks, and a foot pedal to release the handle. Fingertip switches and a trigger control the rinsing, washing, and Clean Surge functions. The removable brushes and a beltless design simplify maintenance. Hoover includes two 16-ounce bottles of detergent, one for carpet and one for bare floors, and backs up the machine with a full one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

 Loud and Messy December 17, 2008
I borrowed this from a friend who admitted she didn't do her research when she bought this unit. She had only used it twice before I got it, though. This machine is louder than anything and leaks ALL OVER! Whether I had it on rinse or wash, the shampoo came pouring out all over the place. Whether I had the trigger pulled or not, it was still pouring out all over my rugs. When I attempted to use the attachments on my stairs, I noted that it really didn't clean anything until I looked down at the step the machine was resting and and noticed a HUGE puddle. Even though I had the attachments hooked up, it still poured out from the bottom, flooding through my stairs, through the ceiling below and onto the steps underneath. It did get a lot of dirty water up from my rugs, but all water-based machines will do that.
 Cleans good, hand tool sucks, breaks easily October 17, 2008
The cleaner cleans well on the floor, but the entire internal turbine rusted out in 12 months and had to be replaced, the clear water tank cracked after 2 years, and the hand tool barely worked well to start with. Buy something else.
Do Not Buy This! October 12, 2008
I don't write a whole lot of reviews but I feel the need to warn people about a manufacturing defect in this machine. The bottom of the clean water tank is extremely thin plastic and there's a good chance it will crack over time just with regular use. We've had our machine a little over three years and have probably used it twice a year. Yesterday I filled the tank and it started leaking all over. Turns out the plastic around the valves had cracked. Amazon won't allow links in reviews but if you search for replacement clean water tank and this model you will find hundreds of similar complaints. Some people report being on their 3rd tank. They are $50 a pop to replace! Save yourself the aggrevation and steer clear of Hoover carpet cleaners.
cheap plastic, leaky September 27, 2008
Hopeless thing. This is my first steam vac and worked great intially. but after 4-5 uses, problems started appearing. Water tank is made from cheap and fragile plastic, it broke and had to replace with $50. Detergent keeps leaking all the time, hardly able to use. Brushes also stopped working. DON'T BUY THIS.
This cleaner is great....when it works! September 23, 2008
This is the second Hoover SteamVac that we have owned. The first one was good, but the water reservoir kept leaking. While shopping around for a new one a few years ago, I struggled with what to get considering the lack of options out there at the time.
We bought this model and while it's proven to be a good cleaner, it's made me a familiar face in the warranty dept. from having to get it served often. We learned from the previous model to purchase the extended 5 yr. warranty (we bought ours at BestBuy). To be honest, it was the best decision we made regarding the machine as I have to take it back to the Geek Squad for servicing the brushes or the leaky water reservoir about every 4 or 5 uses!
Before I get flamed, let me first state that I thoroughly drain, rinse and air dry the soap/water reservoir every time after use. I also clean the brushes after every use as we have an Australian Shepherd and a German Shorthair Pointer in the house. I vacuum the carpets immediately before cleaning to grab excess hair and dirt out of the carpet fibers as best as I can.
The most consistant issue is the stem that allows the brushes to spin breaks off. It is a small plastic rod that spins the brushes and it has proven to be a big design flaw. I've only had two issues with this machine regarding leaking. One was from a brittle stopper where the soap is dispensed. The other was a faulty rubber gasket.
Like I said earlier, it's a great machine...when it works!
