Product Overview
The Hoover PowerScrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner Machine was built for thoroughly cleaning your carpets, rug, upholstery, stairs and other high traffic areas. It has a rotating brush that will help loosen up the dirt in your carpets as you are using the machine to spray on the cleaning solution and extract dirty water.
You have a separate tank for clean and dirty water when using this machine. This allows you to continue spraying cleaning solution without having to worry about mixing clean with dirty water. The long hose that comes with the machine along with all of the different accessories that come with it allow you to reach into tight spaces such as corners or use them to clean small messy area.
Customers Say
Many users have reported that their carpet looks better after using the Hoover PowerScrub Deluxe. This has been most noticeable in areas with a lot of foot traffic and/or old stains. The most common comments from users are that they like the way the rotating brushes pull up dirt and grime that had become stuck down into the carpet and that once you get past the first couple of uses and therefore get all set up, the machine was relatively easy to operate. In addition to these benefits, many users appreciated that this vacuum cleaner came with two different tanks for clean and dirty water.
In addition to being able to keep track of where each tank needs to be emptied/refilled, there were also hoses included as well as several tools specifically designed for upholstery. All of these additional items made it easier to maneuver the vacuum cleaner up and down the stairs, around furniture, in tight corners and doing small spot-cleanings throughout the house.
Some common negative comments about this model include its size which some found cumbersome; the need to frequently empty/refill the dirty/water tanks when doing large cleaning jobs; and the amount of time it takes for the carpet to dry based on how much water is applied. There have also been reports of the pre-measured cleaning solution provided in the box running low very early on when doing large cleaning projects.

Bottom Line
The Hoover PowerScrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner is an excellent option for homeowners that need to clean their carpets further than what most vacuums offer. The three largest positives of this product include the rotating brush, two tank setup, and additional tool attachments; the three largest negatives are the large size of the cleaner, the tanks require regular cleaning and maintenance, and how long it takes for the carpet to dry.
