I read a good portion of the more than 400 reviews Hoover SteamVac had on a major retailer's Web site. The five-star ratings outnumbered the single stars by 20 to 1. The recurring theme with the poor ratings centered on a sudden loss of suction power. More often than not, the solution was to take it back to the store or have it fixed under warranty. Others chose to throw it away and buy another since the old SteamVac had given such good results for several years.
The typical $150 price tag seemed like a bargain compared to the $130 it cost to have it done commercially on an annual or semi-annual basis. My wife said it made sense to buy one, so we plunked down the money and took a Hoover SteamVac Silver carpet cleaner model F5915-900 home. Assembling the SteamVac was easy, and I liked the idea of a separate tank for clean water solution and a recovery tank for dirty water.
The recovery tank has a mechanism for shutting off the suction, thereby keeping the recovery tank from overflowing. There is a distinct change of sound emanating from the machine when this happens. Removing the recovery tank from the SteamVac and emptying the cruddy water renders the tank ready for action again.
