Hoover F7412-900 SteamVac Carpet Cleaner
Steam penetrates fibers of carpet and also pores of floors to successfully clean the dirt area. The extremely hot vapor breaks bonds of dried out stains with your ground and hence, after using hot vapor, you'll be able to simply wipe with the stains even if they're hard stains.
Whenever you think of the steam cleaner what will be the earliest thing that comes to mind? Most people I have asked said they feel of a carpet cleaner when they imagine of a steam cleaner. But the fact is that you will discover any numbers of household steam cleaners that may be applied on all surfaces.
The Hoover SteamVac Widepath has the patented SpinScrub brushes that clean all sides of the carpet fiber. The brushes are easy to remove for easy clean up. And, there are 3 speeds for a variety of tasks. The Dual V Technology provides equal suction across the entire path and removes more water than any other brand. The Widepath feature provides 20% more brushing and cleaning action on your carpet. The motor is a powerful 12amps. The Heat feature applies heat directly to the carpet.The Dual V also comes with a 8' hose that provides long reach and a tool caddy for easy storage along with a SpinScrub Hand Power tool for those above the floor cleaning chores.

 Mixed Blessing-Hoover F7412-900 SteamVac |
| Name: A. Abrams |
| Reviewer: A. Abrams, Vermont |
| We purchased the Hoover F7412-900 to replace an old and failing Bissell we'd used for many years. Be aware like -most- other Hoover SteamVac models, the only steam you will get is from the hot tap water you put into it and not from a heating element built-in. This shampooer is built solid and should hold up to abuse and routine use over the years. I rated it only 3 stars because the elongated and very flat vacuum passage that sucks up the dirty water as you shampoo clogs easily and quickly, especially if you have dogs and embedded hair on your carpets as we do. I noticed it wasn't sucking up the water like it should have, leaving dirty streaks behind to have to do again. While we vacuumed our carpets aggressively before shampooing, used the recommended Hoover shampoo (Home Depot carries it in large sizes), the shampooer simply can't do it's work once it's vacuum passages clog. Removing the clogs requires a thin paint scrapper or other thin tool to reach into the recesses of the vacuum housing to grab the hair chunks trapped there and it -will- happen again over and over and all too quickly. Even extensive dry vacuuming won't remove all dog hair while shampooing using water will always tend to lift off hair that is well bonded to the carpet (and vacuuming can't get up). Thus, regarding pet hair, you'll always be dealing with a fair amount of pet hair being pulled out and off the carpet during the shampooing process. Another issue is the dirty water bin where the dirty vacuumed water is held for disposal. It's lid uses a very light and flimsy foam gasket to keep water from leaking out past the lid and base where they meet. The gasket material will never hold up for long as we noticed it seemed to be crumbling and flaking off in spots and the lid does not press hard against the gasket anyway when clamped down and only light pressure is used to press the lid down against the gasket. This bin leaked a bit as dirty water sloshed inside of it during the shampooing and movement of the shampooer. For $200, this unit is clearly a mixed blessing. It has the brawn and power (and it is LOUD) to get the job done, but, some basic flaws that will prevent enough satisfaction for many to choose to keep it. We returned it only a day or two after trying it out. If you don't have pets or dogs with hair/shedding, it may work out for you. 10/26/2009-Update regarding comments on vacuuming: Most any vacuum never gets all the dog hair off, but, shampooing (and any brand of shampooer), always tends to get more dog hair off carpets that any dry vacuum process will, no matter how powerful and well made the vacuum is! |
Works Great

I saw the product at a retailer, then saw it priced less on Amazon (plus no tax or shipping), so I said what the heck, try it. I have a medium-tan carpet and two dogs and two cats. The cleaner was easy to assemble. All you need is a phillips screw driver. I'm not to swift at using carpet cleaners, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy to use and it REALLY WORKED!
One of the attractive features is the large waste tank. It allows you to cover allot of area before stopping to empty it. Also, the vacuum really sucks up the water/cleaner solution in the carpet, the carpet dried really fast. I wouldn't hesitate using it the same day if I were hosting a family get together. I highly recommend this SteamVac. |
