The Hoover story begins in 1907. Murray Spangler, an inventor who worked nights as a janitor, had an asthma problem. He called upon his inventor's creativity to find a solution to the dust that aggravated his asthma as he swept up at night. Spangler gathered a tin soap box, a fan, a sateen pillow case and a broom handle, and assembled an odd-looking, cumbersome contraption that managed to pull the dust away from the air he breathed. He quickly realized that this "suction sweeper," as he called it, had enormous sales potential, and he began seeking financial backing. W.H. "Boss" Hoover, owner of a leather goods manufacturing shop, bought the patent from Spangler in 1908, retained him as a partner, and soon had six employees assembling six units a day in a corner of the leather goods shop. Now that's a humble beginning.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Krisspe Save your money. Too expensive for 1 use.
I've used it twice. The valve for the cleaner reservoir stuck requiring replacement. Service says they will send a new tank but it's on backorder. This has been the status for a month and they still can't give a ship date. Clearly this is an issue if they can't keep a part like this on the shelf. So I'll have to rent a carpet cleaner. Which I can do for substantially less than purchasing. Next time I'm going to buy Bissell.

For what I spend I feel this is not a great product. I have serious trouble with low pile carpeting. It does not extract the liquid from the carpet.

Rated 1 out of 5 Brushes do not work after 1st use
My wife and I gotten this product with the same mindset as the others who reviewed this product that it is the best cleaner for us. The product worked stupendously the first time. On the same day not even 3 minutes after I turned the product off, I restarted the machine to have the brushes not move at all. I followed the owners manual and seen the suggestions by the reps at Hoover but to no avail the product is just sucking the water i put out to clean. On a side note I am following all the instructions on how to use the product efficiently so I don't need to re-learn the same methodology.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Oddlywild pin broke after 1/2 a use
We heard wonderful things about this carpet cleaner but after cleaning half of our bedroom the drive pin broke that rotates the brushes. Now after spending a chunk of change for this machine, I am having to replace a part spending even more money, gas, and time. Our last carpet cleaning machine was a Hoover and that lasted 10 years without a problem. I'm disappointed to say the least.
