Hoover SteamVac Dual V Review

As a busy mom, it seems that my carpets always need what I have affectionately dubbed “mopping”. Sometimes I need to do this on a weekly basis. Four kids, cats, a dog - whew! I have tried a couple of different types of carpet shampooers, including rentals and professional services. The Hoover SteamVac Dual V has proven to be a machine that can meet the demands of my busy life.

Today we have a number of models of vacuum cleaners including multiple Hoover SteamVac Dual V cleaners that perform a number of functions including deep cleaning the carpet with clean surge technology that gives an extra burst of cleaning solution to get out stains. There are a number of SteamVacs available in a variety of prices and with different features.

The Hoover F7428900 SteamVac Dual V WidePath Carpet Cleaner. This Hoover comes with an AutoRinse feature as well as powered handheld tool perfect for upholstery. It come equipped with a 12-amp carpet cleaning power complete with rotating brushes to clean carpets as well as Dual V technology that gives an equal suction power across the entire surface area. There is also 3 speed settings and AutoRinse that automatically rinses carpets with fresh water.

The unit comes with a wide path that provides 20% more brush and clean powered action with heated cleaning forced hot air right into the carpet. This allows the brushes and solution to work better. This carpet cleaner uses the patented AutoRinse technology which rinses the carpet with fresh water, and as a result it leaves less soap residue. It has a bevy of on-board tools including a removable tool caddy for ease in storage, a SpinScrub handheld tool that powered and designed for upholstery, stairs and spots, an 8-foot hose for extra long reach and a variety of cleaning solutions included. It is ranked at 4 out of 5 stars for favorable reviews received, and it retails for under $200 retail.

With other cleaners, I have tried to skimp on the investment, only to realize that there was no cleaning attachment (and my couches are as much or a trial as the carpet), or the tank was too small, or the cord too short… but the Hoover SteamVac Dual V is different. It comes with a 12-amp carpet cleaner; that means it is strong! The rotating brushes work together to clean and then groom my carpets. The Dual V simply means the technology of this machine produces equal suction across the whole path, so the edges are as clean as the center. This definitely is a time saver.

The direct heat is also nice, as some cleaners don’t even have a heating feature. Anyone who really gets things clean knows that hot water is a key. There are three different speeds, as well: a spill pick up (that is handy), gentle scrub for light cleaning, and power scrub. Guess which one mine stays set on? This unit is also conveniently sized. It’s 20X12 inches, and has an entire year’s warranty. The hose is 8’ long, and it has a powered handheld piece for fabrics and steps.

Try the Hoover SteamVac Dual V model; it comes with good reviews from other users as well, so don’t just take my word for it. It meets all your needs for a carpet shampooer in one convenient unit.
