I used this shampooer on 3 carpets only one time. I tried to use it about a month later and the brushes have rusted so badly they don't spin. Unfortunately I didn't take it back to the store for a full refund when I first purchased it. The brushes seized up for a short time (but started working)when I tried to resume shampooing carpets after letting it sit overnight.
According to the serviceman (it is still under warranty) he said this is a bad redesign and happens frequently. He told me this may keep reoccurring and it will cost $40.00 for the part (not under warranty) and $50.00 to install it. There is nothing you can do to eliminate the rusting of the sealed bearings. He also mentioned throwing it out. This is just what I wanted to hear after spending over $225.00. I also wrote Hoover asking for my money back, we'll see.
Look elsewhere, this thing leaks like a sieve.... July 21, 2008

Used it twice before it started leaking all over the place. Repairs were under warranty so it wasn't a big deal. Used it twice more before it started leaking again, this time out of warranty. We've spent a ridiculous amount of time fixing this thing. The repair shop says it is leaky valves. My first Hoover worked for 12 years without any problems. I'm very disappointed at this product.

I had a Hoover steam vac for eight years and loved it, I used it frequently and wore it out. I replaced it with this one two years ago. I did not pay enough attention to the warnings about the tank leaking. The tank design is flawed. I did not get the extended warranty because I never do. But if you have to have this model I would say it is a must just because of the tank.
After cleaning my carpets two times the tank started leaking. I had it replaced under warranty. Again I only used the machine a couple times and the tank leaked. Had it replaced. Third time the plastic around the seals cracked and it was leaking. At this point I was too busy to keep sending and arguing for a warranty replacement. I had switched to using a carpet cleaning service and as part of a move it was the casualty of discarded items. It was more work and effort with out the same results I was getting with my first Hoover to warrant the closet space or the move time.
Sadly, I would strongly advise against buying this one.

The Steam Vac works great... and then it breaks. I had to replace the brush head on mine because a small plastic shaft is used to drive it. I am a mechanical engineer and know that there is no way this soft, square plastic shaft will hold up to the torsion and fatigue stress created during typical use. After this problem, a bearing in the turbine drive for the brushes rusted, so I took it apart and cleaned it. The same day I did this, the plastic shaft broke AGAIN. If I had it to do over again, I would not buy this product.

I purchased this machine last week. I have always owned Bissell's but after years of frustration with odd design (making it difficult to clean) and the various leaks, I decided to give the Hoover a chance. I had limited expectations but was pleasantly surprised to find that this machine got my white carpet back to white (it out performed the Rug Doctor as well). It is much easier to work with as the clean water and the holding tank are two pieces. The design of the detergent dispenser is such that leaks are unlikely. The two piece components make rinsing out the pieces very easy. I also used the upholstery cleaner attachment. It is a little awkward and wasn't able to get into the crevices around my stair railings, but did a good job overall.
The only thing that could improve on this machine would be the storage of the upholstery attachment on the back. The tool cady is made so it can be mounted on a wall or on the vacuum. This "freedom" means that it isn't tightly seated on the machine. I say mount in a closet and be done with it. A minor inconvenience to see my carpet looking good.
