Hoover F7222-900 SteamVac

Pros: Seems to get the job done. Not too loud. Easy cleanup.

Cons: Even with 1 gallon tanks, lots of trips to the sink.

Review: I just bought one of these at the local Lowes. So far, it seems to work well. Without doing a side-by-side comparison it is hard to know just how well. The carpet is relatively dry, and was only slightly damp-ish to the touch 2 hours after cleaning. The ...

Pros: ease of use, sturdy, rinse and wash switch.

Cons: tool hose storage is in a bad space. 

Review: Bought this last night at Lowes and spent the day today cleaning carpets. I really liked the ease of use as far as the Clean and Dirty water tanks. Easy to fill and empty. When cleaning the carpets its very visible to see the dirty water going ...

Pros: Really cleans carpets & removes water well.

Cons: Flimsy, uses too much formula & poor hose design.

The Bottom Line: For $300, the design is poor but the clean is excellent. I highly recommend finding a cheaper Hoover model.

Review: We had the Bissell pro heat 2x. Out of total frustration with Bissell, their lack of support for their products and needing a working steam vac for an impending move, I purchased this vacuum. I have mix feelings about this vacuum. It was not easy to ...

Pros: Cleans the carpet

Cons: Too small

The Bottom Line: Good machine, but buy the bigger one instead.

Review: This was the second Hoover SteamVac I owned. I ended up returning it to the store because it was too small. This machine has only five brushes. The WidePath SteamVac machines have six brushes instead. I would recommend spending the extra money for the ...

Pros: Easy to clean, does a good job, sensible controls

Cons: Uses a bit too much cleaning solution, not practical to clean the whole house

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a carpet cleaner get this one, don't bother with the ones you rent at the grocery store. Don't expect to do your whole house.

Review: Bought at Costsco.com. I had a Bissell steam vac. I never really liked it, it always seem weird, and never worked right. It finally died after 2 years. I got the Hoover since it had nice reviews and it WASN'T a Bissell. It did a good job, it ...

Pros: Easy Clean up, excellent fluid canister design, light, good size, nice long cord.

Cons: Water drips when removing tools and canister. Crazy tool setup and design, not convenient.

The Bottom Line: Great, would buy again.

Review: Just bought mine today at Kohl's which is the best price if you wait for one of there sales. Last night I bought the Bissell since I already had a Hoover and thought I would try a Bissell. All of my small units are Bissell and I have been happy. The ...
