Hoover F5411 SteamVac Jr. Canister Vacuum

Pros: Portable, tough, long cord/hose
Cons: poor detergent metering design, low power

Hoover's portable SteamVac Jr. represents their line of steam cleaners at the lower end of the price spectrum. This unit is meant for spot cleaning jobs and works fine on upholstery, but you will never do a whole carpet with this little guy, for that...

Pros: compact, easy to use, very effective
Cons: Water cools pretty quickly

I don't have wall to wall carpeting, so I knew I wouldn't need a big steamer... but after I started having kids it became clear right away that I would need something to clean the upholstery and rugs. And this little steam vac has been a lifesaver! ...

Pros: easy to use, light weight
Cons: none

I got this as a gift to myself this Christmas! I love it! I thought that the directions were going to be very complicated and they are not!
You fill up one compartment with water and a bit of carpet cleaner (one bottle is included) and...

Pros: Lightweight, easy-to-use, efficient
Cons: Needs hot water fill, cleaning dirty water side could be easier.

The Hoover SteamVac Junior is a godsend to anyone with small children or animals and carpeting. It's extremely easy to use, light and small enough for a condo owner with limited storage space, and does an effective job to dealing with life's little...

Pros: light, compact, powerful, economical
Cons: awkward to empty ( usually splashes)

I could not imagine myself without this handy little machine. Living in a house with a lot of carpeted stairs, I have relied on this machine at least once a month to do the stairs. It is a great spot remover. I use the Hoover cleaner that is recommended...

Pros: easy to fill, operate, empty dirty water and clean after wards.
Cons: none

Bought this for pet accidents but after I did a small area on my carpet, i decided to go out and do the inside of both mine and my husbands vehicles, which have both seen the best of 2 small boys. This shampooer works great.

Pros: no-chemical clean
Cons: not powerful

I refuse to use too many chemicals in my home. I have allergies and the Stean Vac Jr. helps me do this. I use it for small jobs and save my big jobs for another cleaner I got online called the vapor 2000. Between these two products my chemical cleaning days are over. Welcome to the future of cleaning!!

Pros: Suction Power Relatively large tank
Cons: None

This is an awesome product. I've heard complaints from others who say their deep cleaner isn't powerful enough. That is not the case with this lightweight, convenient vac. It handles stains and spills with ease. We also have a cat who likes to cough up hairballs on our rugs, and this completely cleans the spot every time. And even when I just do general cleaning in high traffic areas, you should see how dirty the water in the tank is when I'm done. And we have relative new carpets! I Definitely recommend this product.

This is a life saver for anyone with small kids! I have had mine for seven years and it is still going strong! I am buying more as gifts for others with kids, pets, etc. The suction is very good. It has never broken down and it allows me to keep my furniture and car looking like new despite the need to completely steam vac at least once every three months due to the children.
