Amazon.com Review
Built with a dual air path, the Hoover SteamVac V2 cleans floors deeply and helps them dry quickly, thanks to its spinning brushes and powerful edge-to-edge suction. A 12-amp machine with an 11-inch cleaning path, the vacuum works on both carpets and upholstery through a combination of floor nozzle suction and hose attachments. Its operation is simple: hot tap water is combined with a cleaning agent, dispersed into carpet or upholstery, and sucked back up into the machine's recovery tank. The SpinScrub system in the floor nozzle features five rotating brushes to agitate carpet fibers and bring ground-in dirt to the surface. If you choose, the brushes can switch off for gentler cleaning and remove for easy maintenance.

Easy to maneuver by their bucket-style handles, the clean water and recovery tanks each hold one gallon of liquid, while the separate detergent tank holds 16 ounces. Fingertip switches control solution release and let you choose between shampooing and simply rinsing. For above-floor cleaning, the vacuum comes with a removable 8-foot onboard trigger hose, stair/upholstery attachment, and two-brush SpinScrub hand tool. Helpful details on this unit include quick-release hooks for the 27-foot power cord, a lint filter, a carrying handle, and a 16-ounce starter bottle of detergent. Though designed primarily for carpets, the SteamVac V2 can be used on bare floors with the separate purchase of a bare floor attachment. Hoover includes a full one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard


Customer Reviews

An Amazing Tool5
We just purchaserd a new home and upon arrival things were not in good shape. The house was filthy and we needed to do something to get things on track. I ran out and bought the Hoover Steam Vac V2. After talking to a person who works with carpet for a living, we took some advice and avoided using any detergent when cleaning. We used only the HOT water from the Vac to dislodge the dirt. Apparently the detergent leaves residue behind that can actually ATTRACT more dirt. Using the water-only approach worked like a champ (If you want to use dtergent, the rinse mode of the V2 claims to remove most residue).

This is the best cleaning tool I have ever purchased. It did an amazing job on all our cparpets, and the house looks like new again. I would HIGHLY recommend this tool to anyone with high-traffic carpets, espcecially those with kids running on them.


Much better than the Bissel ProHeat4
I have had a Bissel Pro-heat for about 2 years. New models still have not changed the features that drive me nuts. The tanks leak, I had to cut off the attachment hose, it kept falling down, and it randomly stops working. We cleaned our carpets 2 days ago with the Bissel, and then used the hoover today. The Hoover brought up black water! The carpets look better now than they ever did with the Bissel. Also, the carpets are mostly dry in about 2 hours without opening every window in the house.

The only things I could complain about with the hoover are:
1. The attachment hose seems unstable (like it might fall out eventually), but at least it can be removed, at stored on a clothes hanger!
2. The 1 gallon tank, same as all the others, gets used up quickly. (Don't quite know how you could solve that problem easily)

Overall, I am very impressed with the Hoover Steamvac V2.
