Hoover Steamvac Carpet Cleaner F5914900 Review



The Hoover Steamvac with Clean Surge F5914900 really cleans carpets well. On my worst carpet area, the cleaner did as well as a commercial carpet cleaner.
What a great machine this is because of the turbo brushes. 
The 5 rotating scrubbing brushes are much more effective at eliminating dirt than the single rotating drum brush design on Bissell and Eureka machines.
The powered hand tool is also a nice feature as it also has 2 separate rotating brushes. 
They get deep down into the fibers and really scrub and clean the rug. The colors popped as if new again.
You get two booklets with Hoover Steamvac with Clean Surge f5914-900, 1) a two-page Quick Assembly Guide and 2) a 40-page manual. 
If you want your assembly guide with pictures and few words youll like the QAG. If you prefer verbal instructions, turn to pages 4-6 of the manual; I wish Id started there first.


Theres no heater in the SteamVac, so make your gallon of water VERY hot for best cleaning. And prepare your carpet for cleaning before filling the tank with these two steps: (1) vacuum thoroughly; and (2) pre-treat heavily soiled or grease-stained areas.
While cleaning you may need to go over the carpet quite slowly to clean it well. This is the one area where the Hoover SteamVac is down a peg compared to the pro cleaners. Make two passes (one forward, one back) holding the trigger down; this is what squirts your hot detergent mix into the carpet. Then make two passes without using the trigger to suck up the bulk of the water.


If you have velvet or velvetine furniture, do NOT use the powered tool, use the utility tool. The powered tool is too strong for delicate fabric.
Like others have suggested, find a cheap alternative to the Hoover brand carpet detergent. One gallon of water doesnt clean a lot of carpet, and at 5 oz of soap per gallon, you go thru it fast.
The suction is also very good at getting the dirty water out of the carpets. Id say the machine sucks out 80-90% of the water that you put in. This means less drying time and less water seepage into the wood floors beneath the carpet.
After reading countless reviews here, I have concluded that the problems people have encountered are from failing to properly set up the machine initially, failing to seat the dirty water lid properly, or failing to clean the machine after use. I recommend this Hoover. It wont perform miracles, but I think if it is not abused it will last a long time and do an excellent job of maintaining a carpet.
Months later, Ive cleaned my carpets repeatedly. Each time Im thrilled with the results. My carpets always look great. They always have that just cleaned look about them.
