SmartWash Pet XL Upright Carpet Cleaner Machine for Carpet and Upholstery, Automatic Deep Cleaning Carpet Shampooer, Converts to Spot Cleaner, Pair with Hoover Carpet Cleaner Solution

This carpet cleaner is *awesome*. We have a dog, two cats, and two teen boys that bring over other teen boys to hang out. I wanted to be able to clean the carpet in certain rooms when I want to without having to pay someone to do the whole house. I have the Green Bissell for small stains/pet accidents. But this is exceptional for cleaning entire rooms and getting out large stains quickly. I was really worried it was going to be very cumbersome and complicated to clean. It is shockingly easy to both use and self-clean. You simply fill the clean tank with water and a small amount of solution (the tank is marked, no need to measure), and hit the power button. Then you just use it like a vacuum. When you push it forward it is in wash mode, and when you pull back it is in dry mode. If there is a stain you want to focus on, just tap the mode button and it switches to Spot Wash. When you are done with the area you can go over it again on dry mode to remove any extra water. The tanks are so easy to remove, and you can remove any hair or fur from the nozzles with the brush comb. Finally, you can use the “self clean” mode on the provided storage tray to deep clean the unit and remove any remaining debris from this inside tubes, etc. Also, it is basically the weight of a full size vacuum. 100% recommend.

Very pleased based on our initial use! It works well, is easy / intuitive to operate, and does NOT over wet the carpet. In comparison to our old Rug Doctor, the Hoover used a lot less water and it not nearly as heavy / bulky to move around.

This machine works great. The container holds a lot of water, do you don’t have to fill and dump too often. The cord is long so you can go around room to room without having to plug in somewhere else. The cleaning tray is a great add on, it works great and cleans the machine after use. Would recommend

This is a better shampooer out of the several I’ve tried over the years. I like that it’s easy to clean and it handles well. It has a stronger sucking power than other units I’ve tried. I wish the front was heavier to force more water out of the carpet but otherwise great product.

I’ve always had Hoover carpet washers and have always been impressed with how well they deep clean my carpets, especially with having two cats. Pet hair is just part of life, and even when I vacuum before using a carpet cleaner, some hair still manages to get stuck in the brushes. That was one of the big reasons I upgraded to this model. What I love most is how much easier it is to keep the machine itself clean. After using it, I don’t feel like I have to take everything apart and fight with the bristles to get leftover hair and debris out. The clean-out/self-cleaning feature makes such a big difference. It’s one of those things I didn’t realize I needed until I had it. Now the carpet washer feels ready to go the next time I need it, instead of feeling like another chore after I already cleaned the carpet. The cleaning performance is also great. My carpets feel fresh, the machine is easy to use, and it does a really good job pulling up dirt and pet mess from everyday life. For a home with cats, it has been a huge help. My only small complaint is that I do miss the dual-tank design from some of the older Hoover models I’ve had. I liked having one tank just for water and a separate one for the cleaning solution. With this one, you mix them together in the same tank, which isn’t a dealbreaker, but I do miss the convenience of keeping them separate and not having to think about the ratio as much. Overall, I’m really happy with this upgrade. It cleans well, it’s easier to maintain, and the self-cleaning/clean-out feature alone makes it worth it for me.
