Keeping your carpet clean can be challenging, especially in high-traffic areas. We like to have our carpet cleaned every year before the holidays. Fran called the carpet cleaner we used several times and left a message to make an appointment.
After several days of not receiving a callback, she tried another local carpet cleaner. Once again we didn't receive a callback from the second carpet cleaner either.
So, we decided to buy our own carpet cleaner. Fran researched and decided on the Hoover Smart Wash+ Automatic Carpet Cleaner.
After receiving our new carpet cleaner, it was a matter of finding the time to clean it. One day, before the Thanksgiving holiday, we got almost two feet of snow. You're probably wondering what snow has to do with cleaning our carpet. Well, my car was plowed in, and I couldn't get out of the driveway to go to work that morning. So, I decided to stay home and clean the carpet with our new carpet cleaner.
After opening the box I found the assembly to be very easy. I filled one tank with warm water and the other tank with the cleaning solution as instructed.
Cleaning the carpet was as easy as vacuuming. The Smart Wash+ is equipped with motion-sensing technology. Push forward, and it automatically dispenses the cleaning solution. When you pull it back it activates a powerful drying process. No triggers or buttons - it's as intuitive as it gets.
When you advance the brushes activate penetrating deep into the carpet to remove embedded dirt. The drying has HeatForce technology, and the Smart Wash+ dries carpets faster letting you walk on them in just a few hours instead of waiting all day.
I cleaned our living room carpet, and hallway in a couple of hours. Clean-up was easy, the removable brushes and nozzle ensure hassle-free cleaning.
I love one other feature: there is a button on the tank for Dry Only. When you push it, the brushes and cleaner stop, and the tank will dry going forward and backward.
The Smart Wash+ also comes with accessory tools to clean your stairs and upholstery. All of these accessories are in a handy bag, that easily hangs in a closet.
Our Smart Wash+ was reasonably priced, and I'm sure it will pay for itself very quickly. If you are looking for a professional-level clean carpet without the professional price tag I recommend the Hoover Smat Wash+. We are very pleased with the results.

Years ago, we bought our own carpet cleaner which I loved because I felt more comfortable using a machine that was never used anywhere else. I used it often when our children and their friends were in and out constantly, plus our pups always added their own layer of dirt. It easily paid for itself! I definitely need a new one since ours is only about 35 years old and leaks now :) Hoover vacuums have historically been too heavy for me, Sam. Is this machine heavy and/or hard on your back to use?
ReplyDeletebtw, what a great way to take advantage of a snowed in day!
DeleteHi Cynthia, I found this carpet cleaner very easy to use. It was as easy as vacuuming. I didn't have any trouble at all moving forward to clean and backward to dry it moves very easy. I hope this helps.
DeleteI've always wanted to have my own carpet cleaner to use at my convenience. Amazing that two different professionals didn't even return your calls. Not a way to do business. Now you can easily clean your own carpets on your own schedule. This Hoover Smart Wash+ carpet cleaner sounds perfect, Sam. Thanks for the review and recommendation.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to no longer be at the mercy of carpet cleaning services! I’m so glad this machine performs to your standard.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an amazing unit. We would have loved that when we had wall to wall carpet.
ReplyDeleteGreat review for anyone in need of carpet cleaner
ReplyDeleteFor wall to wall carpet people, a carpet cleaner is a must especially if you have pets! Nice to know you can have one and use it when you need it and not have to make arrangements for someone else to come and do the job. I'm sure this will be a money saver for many! Thanks Sam for a great review!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is the king of collecting these type of cleaning products - we call them, his toys! I bet he would love this one. He's always cleaning our carpets, and has used multiple brands of carpet cleaners over the years - I would love to surprise him with this one :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds great to have your own carpet cleaner. We don't currently have any carpet but will be carpeting the upstairs this year, so your review is useful to me. Good to hear that it is not too heavy and that it does a good job and sounds easy to use. Thank you for your recommendation. Great use of a snow day !!
