After the machine is assembled, you just fill the water tank with solution and start cleaning (see photo of machine upright and loaded, ready to go). This machine has two modes: one called “express clean” that doesn’t get your carpet soaking wet (Bissell says the dry time is about an hour, but that is subjective based on humidity levels, temperature, shag depth, and other factors), and “deep clean mode”, which basically loads your carpet with soapy water (see photo close up of cleaning head in action) that you brush in using a straight push forward motion, then suck out with a straight pull back. Again, clean water out, dirty water in (see tank comparison photo), so there is visible proof that this worked well."
"Let me start by saying I wrote off all home carpet cleaners several years ago because no matter how expensive or how nice they were they all had the same problem, cleaning them after use. Inside the product box the machine was tightly packaged as you would find with any cleaner or vacuum when purchased so no surprises there. I also appreciate the fact that the accessories and hose come in a separate bag that only need to be attached to the machine when you are using them so leaving less bulk when using the main unit. Main carpet portion was straight forward and using the foot controlled “extra” hot shot was pretty nice as well."
"I have English Bulldogs and for anyone who knows this breed it means drool the likes of which could be used for industrial lubricant. I will say that you must pay attention to the "Full" line on the bottom/dirty water container and empty it promptly even though the "Full" line is far below the container actually being visually or physically full."

Find Best Price at Amazon"the smell was intolerable and I was going to go to the supermarket and rent one of their carpet cleaners but that costs around $50 when you're all done and it seemed like a better idea to just buy one since my dogs are most likely going to continue to be a-holes past the 24 hours I would be renting it for. You can see how nasty the carpet was (kind of, photo doesn't do it justice) and how it looked after being cleaned."
"I tested it out on a spot before going crazy around the rest of the house and was highly impressed, works like a charm. Now, I'm not sure of the life expectancy of these things, but our last one (not of the same brand, two times the price) failed a year or so in without much use, which made me hesitant to get a new steam cleaner in the first place."
"I am just amazed at how many people write that their machine leaked from day one, and they returned it. First, let me say I'm ashamed to admit that our carpet hadn't been cleaned in 4 years, and that we live in the country where lots of dirt gets tracked in from outside. The Hoover F5914-900 did a very nice job the first time I used it - a drastically noticeable difference in the appearance of the carpet. Since the front of the machine is made of clear plastic, you can see when you're vacuuming up water. The machine is well constructed but it IS plastic, with lots of compartments and latches and hose holders, etc, so one must simply be careful or those things will no doubt break off. There is a one-time only setup procedure where you squeeze the trigger and push the Clean-Surge button to lock a rod into place. EDIT December 2007. Apparently many people are assuming that without a loud snap, the Clean Surge will not work. If your SteamVac doesn't leak, it is assembled properly and the Clean Surge will work!!! The only reason I emphasized the "snap" was because so many people were having leak problems, which are easily solved. And it's possible that Hoover has changed the design after getting so many returns from people who didn't read the instructions in the manual. It is easy to snap the lid onto the dirty water container without lining it up properly, which causes a vacuum leak. If there is a vacuum leak, there is no suction at the bottom of the machine, where it is needed to suck up water from the carpet. If you have to force it a little to snap it closed, it means the back is not aligned properly and you'll get no suction. Like others have suggested, find a cheap alternative to the Hoover brand carpet detergent. It won't perform miracles, but I think if it is not abused it will last a long time and do an excellent job of maintaining a carpet."

Find Best Price at Amazon"This machine works so well that after all the spots are cleaned you will have light, clean spots because the rest of your carpet still has dirt. It's better than looking at the dark, dirt spots, but this is now making me want to pull out the Hoover to clean the whole house again. There are 2 stress points in the hose to take caution with, 1) the point where the house comes in contact with the storage plate so while you are cleaning and moving the hose around it will bend on that plate and over time it will cut into the hose, and 2) when the hose is stored in the holder it kinks right at the spot where the brush head is attached and over time storing in this position will cause the hose to split. I spot clean on weekends before going to bed and the spots are dry by morning when I wake up late. Also follow the instructions and be sure to vacuum the carpet well before spot cleaning otherwise you're going to pack down the dust and fine dirt into the carpet with the spray fluid which makes it harder for the deep dirt to get out."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought a new Hoover Power scrub deluxe carpet shampooer off of Amazon with this cleaner (another amazing find), used this on my traffic areas and just couldn't believe my eyes. It reminds me a lot of the carpet enzyme/cleaner called Rocco and Roxie which I also purchased on Amazon (another amazing product), but I like this one a bit better as it is not only an enzyme...it is an "all in one" cleaner. I've used it on puke, blood, wine, urine, feces, and just plain dirty, carpet, and I'm just so happy. It's hard having animals and being a bit of a clean freak the way that I am...and especially having light colored carpet; Terrible combination! I would love to just get rid of my carpet and put tile in, but until I have the cash, this is seriously peace of mind in a a bottle. Even has a rinse setting to pull any residue that may attract future dirt."
"I used this "miracle" in conjunction with Hoover Power Scrub FH50150 on my neglected 20 years of carpet."
"We bought a new carpet cleaner because the old carpets in our new home felt very dirty and almost sticky after using a professional cleaner."
"Prior to trying this stuff I've been using Lindhaus Extract'aire which is a FAR superior, odorless product that speeds drying time like no other product I've used."
"This is the best carpet cleaner we have used."
"Anyway, this cleaner will take out strong odors, and get the stains out with little to no scrubbing!"
"1 wash with Sunny and Honey Carpet Miracle and you had to get right up next to the spot to smell it and 1 more and it was gone."
"Thanks to one of my dogs, The Yak Master, I needed to find some cleaning fluid closer akin to industrial waste de-contaminant for what what I call cleaning "G force industrial bio-hazards"."

I was pleasantly surprised when I found that not only did it clean it well, but it did not leave behind the funky odor that it had when I used it to clean the dog urine; It simply left a clean, odorless carpet."
