The Hoover F5914 900 Steamvac is an extremely powerful machine and is one of the most powerful in the Hoover steam cleaner range. The cost of the cleaner isn’t that expensive and infact it will cost you just as much to rent a steam cleaner of this quality than it will to actually buy one.
The Hoover steam cleaner is perfect for most floors and surfaces including rugs, upholstery and bare floors (with the exception of hardwoods), it will keep them looking like new.
The cleaner has a very powerful 12 amp motor which drives 5 cleaning brushes which operate at variable speeds which enable it tot work at it’s optimum on all surfaces, removing deep dirt and grime. With the pull of one leaver the cleaner releases its cleaning fluid and water onto the surface you are cleaning. If you encounter a particularly stubborn area of dirt then there is a boost function which will release an extra amount of cleaning fluid and water onto the surface in a blast like motion to remove any remaining particles. Once you have completed your cleaning you simply release the trigger mechanism and a blast of hot air is forced onto the surface, drying the area you have just cleaned.
If you have any stair ways to clean or hard to reach places then don’t worry because the Hoover f5914 900 Steamvac comes complete with an 8 foot long hose and a special nozzle which is perfect for stairs and upholstery, you can truly do a thorough job.
During the cleaning process the clean water and the dirty water are stored separately from each other and the detergent is automatically mixed with the clean water as you go, saving you from getting your hands wet. Once you have completed your clean you can simply remove and easily empty the dirty water tank down the sink.
If you want a cheap alternative to cleaner hire then the Hoover f5914 900 Steamvac is the way to go, as Hoover steam cleaners go it has to be one of the best and greatest value for money.

| This item performs very well with both our short and long pile carpet. Please keep in mind that I have only rental Rug Doctor steamers and a cheap Bissell QuickSteamer to compare it to. The scrubbing and water lifting capacity (albeit a slightly more narrow pass) is superior to the massive Rug Doctor and the cleanup and ease of operation is on par or superior to the much smaller Bissell. Plus the added attachments make odd-ball jobs clean up nicely. With both a child and an indoor dog, we use the cleaner weekly and we are very satisfied with the Hoover, the dog on the other hand... |

| In January 2000, I bought an earlier version of this Hoover® SteamVac and it has been one of the most reliable appliances I've ever owned. Back then I even purchased an extended warranty for it, but could have saved on that expense, because the carpet cleaner NEVER SKIPPED A BEAT while being routinely used 5-6 TIMES A YEAR FOR TEN YEARS. I started it up a month ago to do some spot cleaning, and while it still works, the suction would automatically shut off when the recovery tank was only half full. I also could not locate the source of a tiny drip that occurred when it was not running. Finally, it seemed as if the suction was not as strong as it once was. Wow, after A DECADE of faultless service, it was time to replace my beloved carpet cleaner that was finally showing its age.
So I wasn't surprised to see the overwhelming consumer praise for this descendent of my old Hoover® model on Amazon, and its #1 position as their best-selling carpet steamer. I shopped around, but with free shipping couldn't find a better deal than Amazon. I ordered it on Friday and rec'd it the following Wednesday - fast. It comes partially assembled and I assembled the rest in about 15 minutes - very easy. I put it to work right away and was WELL PLEASED with its performance. There are a few design changes and some functional improvements to my old one - most notable is the more powerful suction. Writing this review two hours later, the carpet is nearly dry. As a veteran Hoover® SteamVac user I whole-heartedly endorse this carpet cleaner, and can offer these suggestions for best results: >> As Hoover suggests, be sure to vacuum your carpet very well before you start cleaning them. Loose fibers, pet hair and other debris will visibly hang up in hood. No doubt this will interfere with the overall performance. I didn't bother vacuuming once and had to fish the debris out of the hood with a pipe cleaner - lesson learned >> Keep up with the carpet cleaning - it's just easier. I don't clean ALL my carpets all the time - I do a lot of spot/traffic cleaning. I've tried to take short cuts and use spray cleaners on small spots and have noticed that the solution residue left behind after it dries is like a dirt magnet. It's just so easy to bring out your carpet cleaner and really pull the spots OUT as opposed to just re-arranging them in the carpet. >> Use a genuine pre-treatment/spot solution (if needed). I used Resolve® spray carpet/spot cleaner once to pre-treat spots and heavy traffic areas, and was shocked to see the foamy suds it created in the recovery tank. No harm done, but another lesson learned. Invest in Hoover's spot and stain spray if you have some set-in stains or heavy traffic soil, but you'll be surprised what the regular cleaning solution will get out. |
