    I bought one even after another reviewer said the sprayer was weak. When I turned it on, it was already primed w/fluid. The width of the spray was as impressive and the vacuum suction allowed my couch to dry in a few hours. I bought the couch used, the fabric looked great but what the Hoover took out was really gross. Glad I bought it.

    After watching the videos I went out to Walmart and found it for $119 USD. I had a printout from their site on the internet for $99.00 USD.
    They gave me the discount. After watching several videos like this one we put the detergent it in and started to clean some chairs.
    WOW... you talk about how good it works. It pulled out years of dirt from the chairs and bar stool.
    For $99.00 USD it is definitely worth the money.
    Thanks for the video. It is worth more than trying to read those instructions.

    Bought this several months ago after watching this video, it stayed securely in the box... until now, we had gone away and our cooler had meat and ice to keep the meat clold until we reached our destination, the plug on the cooler wasn't sealed and needless to say it was an awful mess. We weren't home so couldn't pull our little hoover out. Treated it as well as we could and drove home with the windows down... anyway, finally pulled the hoover out of the box and rewatched the video. Got it primed and hit those nasty stains in the auto. It pulled up a lot, I may need to hit it again but it certainly looks better. Thanks for the tips!

    Great build, aesthetics, light weight and compact but not powerful enough to lift very old stains. Also has problems with suction when emptying bad water into the tank/reservoir . Follow tips as mentioned in the awesome step by step instructional video. What works best I find is when you attach the small cleaner and then turn on the machine and let water run 1-2 minutes).
    I am sure they'll better this product in the upcoming years

    I bought this based on your reviews and from now on will always be checking yours for instructions: they really are like having one of my friends right here. Which is especially important for this product. [Copied from bottom so other people will see it: forgot you're also a professional but have to update my PayPal credit card before paying you.]
    I bought it from Amazon and it was obviously a return (box taped shut) and came without a manual or measuring cup. After a bit of hunting around the Hoover sites I realized I was being an idiot, that I should just re-watch your video. And there it was: the measuring cup was on top of the cleaning solution bottle and since you'd already mentioned that it was 1 oz or .5 oz I didn't have to double check the machine to know what I need to buy. Once I have the machine set up I'll re-watch the part about priming the pump.
    Comments aren't usually signed but, as I'd say to a friend, thanks. (Just noticed that word at the top: totally forgot you're also a professional but have to update my PayPal credit card.)

    I bought a Cleanslate a few months ago and absolutely love it! However, the hose did rip open right where it meets the spray wand. It appears that many others have had this issue with the Cleanslate as well. I used gorilla tape to seal the damaged area and Hoover support is sending me a replacement unit. Hopefully the new one will last longer but if it fails, I’m going for the Kenmoore Spot Lite that you reviewed.

Any idea if a bissell's water spray hose pump has to be primed too? for this hoover, would it increase the spray power of the spray if you leave the bread tie on (careful not to let it drop into the tank during operation) to keep the flap of the cleaning solution container opened for the priming? There could be a vacuum in the container which is holding the solution back

      It works good, You might need to prime the pump and I have a video on that. ua-cam.com/video/Ib7r0cj6Lyg/v-deo.html

    How would you feel about using this to clean out a 7yr old couch? Should I use something like this or steam cleaner?

      I just ordered this today to do couches, my dining chairs, rocking chair, and oriental rugs. Haven’t used it yet but spot cleaners like this can be used for upholstery. Just use hot water from the tap and test your cleaning solution in a hidden spot first. Good luck if you haven’t done it yet.

    Your spray fan needs some work too. The spray fan is much wider in the one I just used at a friend's house just bought it. It worked phenomenally well. I used to clean carpet and this thing is amazing.

    I have nothing but good things to say about this machine; however, I do have one complaint, and that is that the waste water tank cannot be completely cleaned because part of the dog hair and dirt gets trapped between the inlet and the tank itself. It appears as though that is a cover that slides over the inlet tube, and you would think that it could be removed, but I have tried with a rubber gripper to remove it and I’ve tried to find information about how to reach the dirt, but to no avail. Am I missing something?
