Hoover CleanSlate Plus Portable Carpet + Upholstery Spot Cleaner Machine, Powerful Suction with Versatile Tools, Pet Stain Remover, Car and Auto Detailer, Pair with Hoover Carpet Cleaner Solution

We purchased this to clean a sticky, greasy spill from the back seat of our car. It worked GREAT! It came with two bottles of cleaning solution and we weren't sure how much solution we'd go through so we used an entire bottle to fill the entire reservoir with water and cleaner (the lines on the reservoir are very helpful.) We were very surprised to see that it didn't use much solution to get the job done. You have to use quite a bit of elbow grease to get the maximum amount of water out of the area you are cleaning. My husband and I tag teamed the back seat of the car and then moved onto an oversized chair that the kids have gotten their greasy selves and numerous food stains on over the years. Between those two items we used the entire reservoir (going over a few areas two or three times.) Both pieces look almost brand new. Maybe we scrubbed a little too hard on the car seat because the fabric pilled in a few places. If you're cleaning a more delicate fabric just use gentle pressure and be prepared to do a few more runs with the cleaner or vacuum hose. A few items to note:- There's a small rubber gasket on the solution sprayer part of the device. This moved around a little bit while cleaning and when it did, the sprayer had a tendency to leak. But once we scooted it back in place it worked fine.- The small detail brush isn't as sturdy as the larger brush but it is great at getting into tight spaces. We removed the larger scrubber piece from the attachment and scrubbed with that in some of the crevices, and on the end of the arm rest of the chair and went back in with the smaller detail attachment to remove the water.- Fairly easy to clean the clean and dirty reservoirs but the clean side doesn't drain all of the water out easily. We left it outside on a warm day and the small bit of water evaporated out.- Self cleaning feature is pretty cool.- Did not use the rubber scrub attachment so cannot comment on that.- Nice long cord and hose (we did remove the entire back seat of the vehicle to get a better angle though)- Not too heavy, easy to carry around.- Be prepared to clean an entire piece of furniture because it works so well that spot cleaning will likely leave bright clean spots.

I was looking into getting a carpet cleaner as we got a puppy that had had some accidents on our area rugs downstairs and in one of our carpeted bedrooms upstairs. I didn’t really want to deal with a large stand up carpet cleaner with how clunky they are and storage space being tight.We only have 1 carpeted room and 2 area rugs, and we’re hoping we don’t have to clean them all the time as the puppy has been getting much better with potty training. With that said, a lot of those handheld pet spot carpet cleaners are a bit small if we wanted to tackle larger areas or do an occasional clean of the entire bedroom (maybe once a year).I stumbled upon this unit on sale and the reviews looked great. It has a smaller compact size vs the stand up units, but still has a nice wide suction head for cleaning a decent area. You can also swap out for a smaller head if you wanted to clean tight crevices or in the car.Given the size, it packs a punch, having strong suction and a spray nozzle controlled by a trigger on the handle. It also has a relatively large capacity clean water/solution tank and dirty water tank.I was able to clean a large 8x10 area rug with just one tank, which was better than expected. And I was able to clean our entire master bedroom and hallway area relatively quickly as well due to the wider head in only 2-3 tank fills.Dumping the dirty water reservoir and cleaning it out was also very easy, and it has a storage clips for the hose and various attachment accessories to tuck away nicely in a closet.Cleaning performance was great, it was able to get out the pet urnie stain areas and left the carpet smelling nice with the solution it came with. It extracted most of the water / solution from the carpet, but was still slightly damp to the touch (we have a relatively high like carpet). I think that’s fairly normal, a stand up unit with a larger motor maybe could have left it a bit drier, but after getting some sunlight on the carpet upstairs from the windows during the day the carpet was dry to touch come night time when we went to bed later that night.Overall, it’s a nice versatile machine that offers great cleaning performance and efficiency in a relatively small and compact footprint. It provides the best of both worlds with a near stand up unit size cleaning area and suction, but with a footprint near the size of a handheld unit. While we don’t have carpeted stairs, this unit would be perfect for that as well given the smaller size and lightweight construction, even with a full solution cleaning tank, due to the nice centrally located handle making it fairly portable.

This machine works great better on carpets. You can a deep scrub with the brush. I personally think the brush is too tough on furniture material, depending on what type of material it your furniture is made of.It includes a small bottle of liquid to get you started. It does not have a sent so you don't have to worry about a smell lingering. You can also buy your favorite cleaner and use that instead.This machine has a strong suction and a wide brush that pick up spills with ease. Instructions are straight forward. It easy to use and storeI found mine on the buy use like new for 57.99 it came in the original box with all the parts. Perfect savings. I would recommend this product.
