Review on ๐Ÿงน Ultimate Cleaning Companion: Hoover PowerDash Pet Compact Carpet Cleaner - Lightweight & Powerful (FH50700, Blue) by Phillip Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Much better than I expected but with some quirks

First of all I LOVE this car. On the first day of delivery I made about 500 square meters. Although I love it spotless and clean, it got my carpets, it has a few special features. It is an ideal carpet cleaner for apartment dwellers with pets and carpets. Even if you use a stain remover like me, you know that you end up cleaning large areas of carpet that a stain remover just can't handle, or you may want to clean all of the carpet in your room. remarked how easy it was to put the car together after taking the parts out of the box. One caveat: cap on solution/water bottle. Pull out the inside of the cap BEFORE putting the bottle (upside down) into the machine, otherwise it will leak. I found this out after doing something wrong on the first fill. This quirk should be considered in a quick setup card for impulsive people like me. The second thing that immediately struck me was how noisy this car is. It's louder than most vacuum cleaners. I definitely recommend not using it in the morning or evening - unless you want your neighbors to hate you. Another quirk. The price means some "luxury" features are gone. If you hear a change in sound, it means that either the detergent/water bottle is empty or the recovery tank is full. Fill the cleaner and empty the dirt tank at the same time. There is no light or mechanism other than the sounds of the car to tell you this. Last flaw: the dirty water tank. You press a button on the back of the car and slide it out. The first time I lowered the handle and was confused because I've never worked like this with any other machine. My advice: just take a few minutes to read the instructions. Overall I'm in love with this car. If you're on a budget and can't go without luxury features, this is the machine for you. If you like a lot of features, this particular machine might disappoint you. I like that it's small and easy to store; If you have more than three large rooms to clean, consider a machine with a wider aisle. It took me about three fills and three drains of the dirty water tank for each room. If you need a larger capacity machine, look for a machine with larger tanks and a larger cleaning channel. But if you don't mind a little extra work, I give this machine a solid 4.5 stars (a shame I can only give a 4 on the Revain review - 5 stars would be too much given the volume and quirks).

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Disappearing
