Hoover PowerDash Pet Advanced Compact Carpet Cleaner Machine with Above Floor Cleaning, Lightweight Carpet Shampooer Machine, Pair with a Hoover Carpet Cleaner Solution for a Bright, Refreshed Home

We had a professional carpet cleaner do the entire house back in April with fair/good results. The problem is we have a very light-colored (almost white) beige carpet with high traffic area blackish track marks in and out of the den and master bedroom. I tried carpet sprays, I tried powdered carpet cleaners, etc. to no avail, which was why we called the carpet cleaner back in April. So he got most of the high traffic area marks to look maybe 80-90% better, but he did not clean the area against the front of the couch bc he couldn't get the edge of his machine close enough to the couch. He should have just moved the darn couch a foot back like I did a few days ago so he could get to all the carpet. In any event after only three months, we started to see the same dirty high traffic areas reappearing even though we never wear shoes in the house and the carpets in our den and master bedroom looked like they needed a light cleaning again because it was not really 100% when the carpet cleaner finished. He said it was an old carpet and hey what can you do? Rather than have the carpet cleaner come back out for an afternoon with the need to start moving furniture, tables, plants etc. again, I figured why not give this machine a try? It was worth it because this Hoover has done a good job overall, I did need to go over the carpet in the den 2-3 times to get rid of the blackish high traffic areas and did the area in front of the couch three times because the professional carpet cleaner didn't bother to clean there. I asked a family member to look at the entire den when I was done and they said 100% better. It actually looks BETTER than when the professional carpet cleaner cleaned it! This is a 20-year old carpet in a heavily used area and it actually looks really good now. As noted, I had to do the den twice and the black high traffic marks three times, but so what? The bottom line is the carpet looks great now. Overall, I am really impressed with this machine. Everything works the way it says and it is a snap to use. PLUS the suction is so good the carpets are barely damp when done and are dry (at least in our low humidity climate in the desert) within a few hours, even though I used a few full tanks of solution in one room (den). With the clear brush cover you can see all the dirty cleaning solution being sucked back into the dirty water tank as you go over the carpet. I do note that I have to go pretty slow back and forth on both the cleaning and suction strokes in order to let the machine roller clean the carpet and then to allow it to suction out as much liquid as possible, but no big deal, the results are worth it. I had a little difficulty getting the HOSE attachment plugged in to the machine to do upholstery, but I used a touch of silicone spray on a rag where the water nozzle plugs into the machine and that fixed it. I've seen a few complaints that the cleaning solution bottle needs refilled often or the dirty water tank needs emptying often. Yes, you will need to refill the cleaning solution container a few times if you go slow enough to actually allow the machine to clean the carpet in a large area, and the dirty water tank fills up fast (it also has an audible change in tone to let you know you need to empty it), but no big deal. I keep a 5-gallon plastic bucket in the room I'm cleaning and empty the dirty water in there and just take the one big bucket out to empty it when I 'm done. I would advise maybe NOT emptying the dirty water container into a sink or toilet because there may be lint, dirt, etc. in there which may clog drain pipes? Bottom line - very impressive results for a great price, and the entire unit and attachments seem to be high quality. It is also REALLY easy to rinse the roller areas and dirty water tank when done. THE ONLY GRIPE I HAVE IS I DID NOT GET ANY 'SAMPLE" CLEANING SOLUTION WITH THE UNIT DESPITE THE BOX AND INSTUCTIONS SAYING IT COMES IN THE BOX. HAD I NOT ORDERED A CONTAINER OF THE HOOVER OXY SOLUTION WHICH WAS DELEIVERED SAME TIME AS THE MACHINE I WOULD HAVE HAD NO CLEANING SOLUTION AT ALL. Overall, I am really satisfied with this carpet cleaner and I wish I would have bought one years ago.

I’ve had this carpet cleaner over two years now. I live in a college rental so we knew the carpets were gonna be secretly gross (even tho they’re “professionally cleaned” between each tenant). It has given so much peace of mind and pulled up so much grime every time. It still works incredibly well. It’s easy to use. I have a cat and it’s been great for pulling up hair and removing pet messes (urine). I love the upholstery attachment and use it on stairs, couches, and the car. For the price, this carpet cleaner is an insane deal and I highly recommend it. I haven’t had any leakage but I recommend storing it on the included rubber mat between uses because the bristles will still drip after use.

I had the less expensive version of this Hoover for five years. It worked decently well but wasn’t great at sucking water out of the carpet. I just got the upgraded one when the hose you can attach for stairs and furniture. It also does a good job and does a better job than the old one at pulling water out of the carpet. BUT, it leaks like crazy when it’s parked. I turned it off and parked it on my wood floor to empty the dirty water tank. (Much easier to empty) I went back to the cleaner to clean it up and it had leaked a good amount of water into the floor. It took two handfuls of paper towels to absorb it all. Just before cleaning off the wood I took off the clean water reservoir and parked the vacuum to the side. After I wiped up the floor and moved the cleaner it had leaked even more water even without the reservoir. In the future I’ll bring an old gym towel along and park it on that. It really was a ridiculous amount of water. Having said all that I’ll keep it because it did do a good job. Oh, and the clear plastic part at the front of the head keeps falling off, that’s annoying.

Okay first off I want to say that I understand that this is a cheap cleaner. My biggest mistake was trying to save money. I have a home with wood floors but I do have area rugs (I have a pet free, shoe free, smoke free home and my family only eats in the dinning area) so when it comes to a carpet cleaner, I figured I can save money as it’s just normal maintenance cleaning of a few area rugs every month in order to keep them looking fresh. I liked the attachments to the pet cleaner so I can scrub myself on the high traffic areas. I figured a carpet cleaner with AMAZING reviews and made for spots, stains and animals MUST be more than qualified for my basic needs. Man was I wrong! CONS: Upon opening it I realized how CHEAP it is made. The water/solution tank wiggles in place. It is very small compared to my other ones (I expected the smaller size seeing as it’s hundreds of dollars cheaper) the clean water tank is the kind of cheap plastic you can expect from a dollar store water bottle. The cord is NOT long at all. So expect to be unplugging it and plugging it in many times for one area. The brush roll on the cleaner barely has any bristles (I have no idea how this company expects to clean up after animal spots/stains/spills etc.. if it can’t even clean properly) with this being a small device, expect to be emptying the tank often and refilling it. This device does not heat up water, so expect to add hot water or clean with cold. (my mistake as I should have read carefully) The dirty water tank LEAKS! There is a “T” like tube that if water gets in the top part it’ll spill out dirty water all over the place. But in order to steady the water in the tank to dispose of the water you need to tilt it back and steady it all the way to the sink! I figured okay! I got this! But then I ran into another issue! The tank is designed with two main plastic pieces that are sealed together. As this is not a well made device, the sealed side/corners were leaking!! It’s safe to say this device made a BIGGER mess than it cleaned! I got about a 6’x 6’ area before I had enough! PROS: For people with small apartments this will do a good job when it comes to storing and light cleaning. Buying a $10 water sealant glue at your local hardware store will fix the sealant issue. (But still be aware of the “T” tube on the inside that spilled out water) If you have pets or small children, dont expect a deep clean. It is light weight so if you struggle with the heaviness of a heavy duty cleaner than this would be just fine. This does come with a rubber mat. It’ll help in order to prevent more of a mess with all the leaks. The attachment works better than the device itself, so if you don't mind elbow grease than that would be the best option. I am very disappointed and returning it. The $300 plus price range on a better quality carpet cleaner is looking a lot less expensive after the experience I’ve had with this one! Save your money and dont buy OR be fully aware before you buy!

I wanted to leave a detailed review because this was my first time ever using a carpet shampooer, and I was honestly intimidated before I started. It ended up being much easier than I expected, and now I’m really glad I bought it. First, shipping was very fast and everything arrived in perfect condition. Nothing was damaged and all the parts were there. Assembly was extremely simple. I also really liked that it came with a small bag to store the attachments so they don’t get lost. Using the machine was surprisingly easy. I had never used a carpet cleaner before, but once I started it became very straightforward. One thing people mentioned in other reviews is true — the reservoir is on the smaller side, so you will need to empty it more often. However, a little cleaning solution goes a long way, so you really don’t need much. My cleaning routine that worked best was: 1. Vacuum the carpet thoroughly first. 2. Shampoo the carpet slowly. 3. If the carpet is very dirty, do an additional pass. 4. Go over it again without spraying to extract more water. 5. Once the carpet dries, vacuum again to lift the fibers. That final vacuum after drying made the carpet noticeably softer. One little hack I discovered: the tank opening is small and I had a large 128 oz bottle of cleaning solution. Pouring directly from that big bottle was messy. I poured some solution into a small water bottle, labeled it clearly, and used that to fill the tank. It made pouring much easier and prevented spills. For context, the room in my photos is actually the smallest and cleanest room in my house. We moved in a few months ago and it’s mostly used as a playroom. No food or juice goes in there — only water. My baby crawls and plays on the floor there, and my older child often sits and plays with him. Even though the room looked clean, the amount of dirt that came out of the carpet shocked me. The water was very dark. What impressed me most was how the machine lifted the carpet fibers. Before cleaning, the carpet looked dull and compressed. After cleaning and drying, the fibers stood up again and the carpet looked darker, softer, and almost new. Another reason I wanted this cleaner was because my kids spend a lot of time on the floor. One of my children has asthma, so I wanted something that could really deep clean the carpet. I also felt comfortable using this because the cleaner I used is designed for homes with pets, and pets spend a lot of time on carpets too. Even if you vacuum thoroughly beforehand, the shampooer will still pull up lint and debris from deep in the carpet fibers. At first I kept stopping to pick up the little clumps it created, but eventually I realized that was normal. I just finished cleaning and picked them up afterward, then vacuumed again once the carpet dried. The final result was impressive. The carpet looked refreshed, smelled cleaner, and felt softer. For my home (about 1,100 square feet, three bedrooms) this machine is perfect. I plan to deep clean the carpets about every two months. Overall, this has been one of the best cleaning purchases I’ve made. It made a visible difference in my home and gave me peace of mind knowing my kids are crawling on clean carpet.

I love this carpet cleaner ! It deserves a 10 star review. When my husband saw how well it cleaned, he said holy cow!! That’s the cleanest that rug has been in years. I had a full size cleaner for 30 + years. When it gave up the ghost, I opted for something less expensive. The new machine snapped together easily. The cord is long enough to leave plugged in across multiple spades. This machine cleans better, faster and is more efficient. It is lightweight and very easy to use. The only negative…it will find any pet fur and can clog up. Make sure carpet is vacuumed thoroughly before using the carpet cleaner.

Just get it. Its a steal for this price! I love this thing. I got the advanced version which comes with the detachable hose and larger tanks for clean and dirty water. Everything is very user-friendly. The dirty tank is easy to remove and empty. It even has a large enough opening to clean the inside. It doesn't suck up hair or fur. It will collect around the brush and suction thing where you can open the compartment and grab it out. I would recommend removing hair each time the dirty tank is full. This is not a big machine, you will have to empty and refill often. I cleaned my area rug roughly (6 ft by 9ft?) and needed to dump and refill once. Since it's not huge, it is easy to maneuver a little heavier than a vacuum but not by much. The noise isn't too bad either about equivalent to a vacuum as well. The cleaner did not come with a sample cleaning solution like it says. You will need to get one. Overall it works really well. Take your time while cleaning and follow the instructions.

This cleans so well...likely best on the market....HOWEVER the other reviews are accurate. The first one arrived and the trigger handle didn't stay on. I managed to clean a small rug and was impressed with its cleaning ability. I gave Hoover the benefit of the doubt. Hoover makes 1000's of these machines, perhaps the 1% of defect product was what I received. Nope. Replacement showed up (Handle stayed on, woo HOO) but it leaked all over the place! (The only way it doesn't leak is to have the handle down. Unfortunately, handle must be up for hand attachments) Again, the cleaning ability was that good that I bought a new tank cap. Nope. Didn't work. Tried the first machine again and didn't realize that the first one leaks too!! Not a little but like 1/3 of the cleaning solution tank. I was concerned with the handle of the 1st machine and didn't notice it leaking. I would give this 1 star except the cleaning function is amazing. Dear Hoover Product Managers!!! Stop cutting costs and fix this product. It could be an amazing cleaning machine.

I’ve been using the Hoover PowerDash Compact Carpet Cleaner for the past 3 months, and it’s been great for keeping my carpets fresh and clean. It’s lightweight and easy to handle, which makes cleaning quick and less tiring. The machine does a good job removing stains and dirt,though it uses too much carpet cleaning solution. I also like that it dries fairly fast, so I don’t have to wait long before walking on the carpet again. Overall, it’s a reliable, convenient and cheap carpet cleaner that works well for everyday use.

So far works great not soak the carpet Easy to push around Very long cord Easy to clean Good for the money

If you, like me have been thinking of getting this and you aren’t sure please run don’t walk. Run to buy it. I was afraid it wouldn’t be powerful enough since it’s compact but it’s amazing. I’ve had bigger carpet cleaners before but this is by far the best one. It completely dries the carpet with a few passes after it’s cleaned. Completely dries them. Best purchase ever. And it’s compact and easy to store. It’s not as noisy as the bigger machines. 10/10!!!

تجننن على طول جربتها تنظف من قلب

Mis muebles son de colores claros y estaban muy sucios, cumple bastante bien y el jabón que viene incluido quita las manchas, la tela se maltrata un poco si se talla muy fuerte, solo he usado el aditamento para tapicería en sillas, colchón y sillones y cumple su función perfecto, me encantó
