Hoover PowerDash Pet Compact Carpet Cleaner, Shampooer Machine, Lightweight, FH50700, Blue

Light weight and cleaned both a thick carpet and a thin one. The carpet dried in the same amount of time as a over $300.00 model.

Have had this cleaner since October 2021 and overall its a great cleaner for the price point. It is not a professional grade unit, but it does a very good job for home use. There are three drawbacks I can list: • SMALL TANKS - First, both the cleaning solution tank and the dirty water tank are small. So if you have a lot of square footage to clean, you will need to stop frequently to empty the dirty water and refill your cleaning solution. • INADEQUATE SUCTION - Secondly, the suction power is less than with a commercial cleaner so (a) youll need to go over each area slowly and multiple times, and (b) youll probably need to go over each area again with water only in order to make sure theres no residue left behind. • CHEAPLY MADE PARTS - And lastly, at least in my case, the cleaning solution tank was very cheaply made and after only about half a dozen uses it broke. Just before writing this review I was all ready to clean my carpets when I discovered the cap for the tank had deteriorated since the last use, so I had to go to Hoovers website to order a replacement part. After only half a dozen uses, thats disappointing. I have messaged Hoover after ordering the replacement part. Hopefully they will refund the purchase price to make it right. If so I will update this review.

Ill start by saying that yes, while this does have a few kinks, I would still rate it 4.5 stars due to one of the kinks but overall I consider it to be an excellent purchase! Since this is exactly what I needed for my area rug and dog, Ive rated it 5 stars. First off, I have a German Shepherd/Husky mix who thinks its hilarious to tinkle on my ivory colored 8 x 10 area rug on certain occasions and has gotten sick on the rug in the past. Before buying this very decently priced Hoover, I used to have to buy a whole new area rug whenever this happened because there was no way to spot clean the mess from such a large dog not to mention the smell! After reading the reviews, I decided to give this bad boy a shot along with Sunny & Honey carpet miracle solution based on another reviewers recommendation (cheaper than buying a whole new area rug AGAIN!) I started off by vacuuming the entire area rug several times with a regular vaccum. Then I mixed the solution into the Hoover solution tank (although I really wasnt sure how much to use since its not a hoover product so I started off with about 1/2 a cup and the rest was filled up with water. The Hoover was able to get out the pee stain instantly and with not that much more effort it completely got rid of her shit diarrhea stain as well! The rug is as good as new and smells very clean now! Now for the quirks. Even though I vaccumed twice with a regular vaccum, this thing still picks up a ton of hair. While I love that its able to provide such a deep clean and lift up the crap the standard vaccum did not, the design of the hoover does make it a bit difficult to clean the rotating belt part (see picture). I have to stick my fingers in there after each use and try to manually pull out the excess hair. While this part is annoying, I still give it a 4.5/5 stars because it still gets the job done and does the job well! I also noticed in another review that someone was complaining about leaking. The only thing I noticed is that the dirty water tank does have a spout and if the cap is not properly pushed in, I could see why it might cause a leak, although this has never been a problem for me as I always double check that its plugged in all the way. Although this does not heat the water, I do feel like this machine does dry carpet much faster than I expected which could be part of the whole heat force technology in the description. Lastly, my boyfriend the skeptic thought I was an idiot for buying this thing. He swore up and down there was no way it could clean up the diarrhea stain from when the dog got sick so he sat and watched me put it to the test with a giant grin on his face ready to say I told you so. The joke ended up being on him because he is now absolutely amazed at what this thing could do for a mere $99! He also made a few comments about how good the carpet smelled after it was clean! All in all, this is the perfect machine for someone in need of cleaning an area rug without wanting to spend a fortune. Works wonders on pet stains so this was exactly what I was looking for. The last pictures were taken after I cleaned, as you can see how gross the dirty water tank got as well as how much hair was in the belt that I had to manually pull out to clean. Despit its quirks, both my bf and I still give it at least 4.5-5 stars!!

Brought this awhile ago, but never used. Finally used it and it cleaned great. What I like the most no dirty water. It clean up so much dog hair. Best purchase ever

I used the Hoover PowerDash on multiple light-colored 8X10 area rugs around my home and was really impressed with how much deep-set dirt & soil this compact cleaner pulled up. We have cats, and we also have the area rugs in high foot traffic areas of our home. After about 2 1/2 years of just using a regular vacuum on our rugs, I noticed the gray & cream colors were looking dingy. There were also a few faint stains on our family room rug from normal living wear & tear. I ordered this PowerDash based on positive reviews, and I am really glad I did. For the liquid formula I poured into the cleaner, I used the Bissel Pro Max Clean & Protect liquid formula for Upright Carpet Cleaners, and poured it in this Hoover Power Dash Upright Pet Carpet Cleaner with warm water, following the instructions that come with the Hoover Power Dash Cleaner. After one cleaning, my rugs look completely revived. My husband and I were shocked at how much dirt was in the rugs that we did not even realize. The Cleaner also lifted the faded stains, some that had been set for a good 2 years. I forgot how bright my rugs originally were! The PowerDash cleaner is lightweight and easy to assemble & to use. I also found it relatively easy to clean out the dirty water container. It just requires you to dump the dirty water and then you may have to pull out a few clumps of carpet fiber that the cleaner lifts because of the strong suction. A few tips: definitely use warm water, and go slowly when pushing & pulling the Cleaner during use. The clean water/formula tank is small, so I had to fill it twice to clean the full surface of one 8X10 area rug. The process of filling the water/formula tank is really easy so it is not a big deal, but I would recommend buying an extra bottle of the liquid cleaner to have on hand for cleaning if you plan to clean larger surface areas. All but one of our rugs were brand new 2 1/2 years ago when we moved into our home. The new thicker rugs all washed up really well and felt soft & fresh after the cleaning. The only advice I would give is to be careful with older or more delicate rugs. The suction of the carpet cleaner is strong, so it does suck up carpet fibers. We have one hall rug that is a little older/thinner, and the carpet fibers on that rug were a little delicate/brittle for the suction of the PowerDash. The rug is clean after use, but you can almost see where some of the fibers on this older rug were thinned out from the cleaning. But on all of our newer, thicker rugs, the cleaner sucked up the dirt & soil beautifully and left the rugs feeling really soft and clean. Overall, super pleased with this purchase. I am impressed with how powerful this cleaner is for something so lightweight and relatively inexpensive compared with other cleaners.

For the money this is a no brainer. The machine does extremely well with good suction power. It is easy to clean and to use. The stair tool works excellent. I was surprised how good that it was for the price. I have used commercial equipment in the past many times, and can say that the results are about the same as this. It is possible that this machine does slightly better since it has the rollers to do deep cleaning. With a commercial cleaner you need to scrub the carpets with a carpet rake to get it this good. The amount of dirt that came out of the carpet is incredible. I have used other residential carpet cleaners too and this one is way better than the others I have tried. I dont think that it is too loud but it is what I would expect from anything this powerful. The cord could be longer but adding an extension cord or moving to another plug is not that hard. The dirty tank comes on and off with no trouble. It is pretty light when its empty, but seems to be made good. Was really easy to set up and understand how to use it. Came with a sample bottle of shampoo and I was happy about that. It was enough to do a couple of rooms. Also, to clean the brushes it is super easy and you dont have to flip it over to do it so that is a major bonus. Everything comes apart for maintenance and there isnt much they didnt think of when making this. I give 5 stars. So glad I got it. Cannot speak for the life of the thing, but I dont see any issues after cleaning all my carpet. (there is a lot of it) Highly recommend and love this cleaner.

Buy it it is awesome unfortunately I have to reorder because my bully bit thru the cord but it is so worth it and it is good to get the pet cleaner that they offer with it

This was exactly what I was looking for. It’s super light and easy to use. Cleaned up all the pet and kid stains. Actually seeing the dirty water shows you how much power it has. ❤️

I typically don’t waste time writing reviews, but I am really blown away by the power that this little unit offers. I have mostly wood and tile floors, but I do have one large shag rug that always smells like dog lately. I’ve used smaller carpet cleaners on it, handheld carpet cleaners, and it just wasn’t getting clean. I was just about to throw it away and figured I would try this machine because it got great reviews. BLOWN. AWAY. this little machine packs a punch for sure. It is by far the most powerful suction of any carpet cleaner I have ever used, including full-size machines. It pulled so much hair and fuzz out of my rug that my vacuum didn’t touch, and former cleanings didn’t touch. It’s a basic model, with small reservoirs, so the only drawback is having to empty the dirty bin and refill the water solution, but it’s a pretty small trade off for such a powerful machine. This machine saved my rug, and got it clean enough that it looks brand new inside of about an hour. I’ve been a Bissell loyalist for years just having pets, but this out performs any Bissell machine I own, and I own three currently

I bought this Hoover PowerDash Pet machine and was impressed. Firstly, I thought that my delivery would have taken a week, I got it within two days. Thanks Amazon. It is simple to assemble. It comes with a 6 ounce bottle of Hoover deep clean neutralizer. The key to using this is SLOW movement. It cleaned and sucked up the dirt. My rug was not dripping wet. I just finished cleaning about 15 minutes ago and it is nearly dry. The proof of all the dirt was in the dirty water container. I have a Bissell Little Green Clean Machine. It does well for spot treating, but at one point I was using it to clean the whole rug. Let’s just say my back wasn’t to happy about that. The first picture shows how dirty the carpet is. I have a dog and a cat. The second picture shows how clean it became. After I was finished cleaning, I took off the removable nozzle and rinsed it clean. I flipped up the machine, unscrewed the bottom and cleaned the brush head and surrounding area. There was soo much fur, but it was a breeze to clean. For the price, I paid $112 in total. I heard a lot of things about Hoover and wanted to try it out. I’m very happy with my purchase.
