    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 24, 2005
    Pros: Extracts water well, fairly priced, simple and neat, cleans well
    Cons: Heavy - A "Beast" to lug up and down stairs

    Summary: We purchased the Hoover SteamVac F5914-900 with Clean Surge as a bit of an impulse buy well over a year ago. We were considering cleaning our carpets but I had long ago decided I would never rent one of those impossible to use store rentals ... read more

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 27, 2011
    Pros: Leaves carpet smelling nice! Includes long cord, and comes pre-assembled.
    Cons: Leaves carpet too wet. Too heavy, clogs easily, and cheap plastic parts break off.

    Summary: My family purchased the Hoover SteamVac F5914-900 with clean surge about a year ago. I had just given my old Bissell away, and I regret doing that to this day. Update: My sister borrowed the Bissell. She wanted to shampoo ... read more

    Jun 27, 2011
    Pros: Cleaning solution heater, CleanSurge, does a great job
    Cons: Noisy, hand tool attachment, emptying the waste tank

    Summary: We recently replaced a Hoover carpet cleaner that we first purchased in 1997. We have had two small dogs, now on our second generation, since 1994, and with puppies in the house there will always be “those” accidents!Our old machine, ... read more

  • What's up with the bad reviews?

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 17, 2011
    Pros: Easy to use. Effective. Great Extraction
    Cons: No rinse feature. Could be built a little better

    Summary: This is one of Hoover's Staples. Its design hasn't changed much in quite a few years. Personally, I think this is the BEST of all the Hoover models! The price range makes it worth it and it does a GREAT job "IF" you use it correctly. Perhaps there are ... read more

  • Handy and easy to use.

    Mar 26, 2011
    Pros: Works easy and carpets dry in hours.
    Cons: Hoover deep cleaning soap is expensive.

    Summary: We purchased the Hoover SteamVac F5914-900 with Clean Surge a month ago because we were tired of half done efforts by carpet cleaning companies and soaked carpets for days afterward. My husband researched it on the internet but it was the positive ... read more

  • Clean Carpets? Yes and No, but mostly yes...

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 15, 2010
    Pros: Cleans very well, rotating brushes, good extraction power
    Cons: Mediocre stair cleaning, unknown how long unit will last

    Summary: There is a fine line between professional carpet cleaning and the rental machines at your local stores. I would say that this product fits neatly between a professional job and rental machines. It works substantially better than rental machines, but is ... read more

    Jun 3, 2010
    Pros: Cleans well; easy to use, clean and store; can be used with environmentally-safe cleaning methods
    Cons: Poorly designed internal part will need to be replaced periodically.

    Update 12/2012: Lack of durability.

    Summary: About two years ago, I decided that instead of paying over $600 to have all of our carpets cleaned, I would instead invest in a carpet steamer so I could do more regular cleaning of our carpets.I did a great deal of research before choosing the ... read more

    Pros: Cleans well when it works.
    Cons: Cheaply made. Stopped all suction during my first use.

    Summary: My 15 year old Hoover Steam Cleaner finally gave up it's ghost. It was a wonderful machine, sturdy and cleaned well. I decided to purchase another Hoover because of my good experience with the old machine. Well....got this one out of the box and was ... read more

    Pros: Great value, pays for itself.

    Pros: Effective, easy to use, SpinScrub brushes clean better than traditional beater bar
    Cons: Heavy, bulky, loud, high initial cost

    Oct 29, 2009
    Pros: Cleans well for the price.  Easy to use.
    Cons: Turbine assembly froze/rusted up after less than 10 uses.  Cost to correct-half of original cost.

    Summary: I bought this unit less than a year ago.  I have used it 7 or 8 times.  The positive of this unit is that it does a pretty good cleaning job for the price.  The negative is the TURBINE GEAR ASSEMBLY.  I went to use the machine ... read more

    Jun 10, 2009
    Pros: Mobility, cleaning effectiveness  and water extraction get results.  Certain to become a favored home appliance.
    Cons:  Steam Cleaner is a misnomer.

    Summary: This is THE answer to cleaning your carpet and rugs!  Maybe it is the visits from our 2 y/o grandson who loves those “box drinks” especially the red fruit punch ones  or the drudgery of going back and forth to the big box ... read more

    Mar 25, 2009
    Pros: Cleans good if you can keep it working
    Cons: Just stops working and also leaks (ALOT!!!!)

    Summary: As with all of the Hoover products that I've purchased over the last year they are not lasting more than 6 months and the warranty policy is a horrible nightmare that takes your product from you for more than 6 weeks. The hand held part of ... read more
