We are extremely pleased with the new Hoover PowerScrub XL Pet carpet cleaner. We initially purchased a similar model named the same way at Wal-Mart. However, the Wal-Mart model (ending in 01) was not the same model as this one (ending in 02). They look identical with similar features, but they were not. The Wal-Mart model does not have a separate solution bottle, the extra attachment for the hose or the bag for the hose and tools. The Wal-Mart model was about $40 cheaper, but not worth the difference for the features and additional attachments and storage bag. I did notice this until I put it together and was a deal breaker. I ordered it online and returned the unit to the store for full credit the next day without any hassle from Wal-Mart.We have an older rug in one our bedrooms that was very soiled from years of use and had a lot of stains. We thought we would have to replace the rug. Since this was a good quality rug, we decided to buy this rug cleaner to see if we could clean it. We just used it and it worked GREAT. After several passes, it took out most of the stains and now the rug is acceptable. We will go back and use the scrub rush tomorrow to get the stubborn stains out.After looking at numerous reviews, we chose the Hoover PowerScrub for the features it had as follows:1) Separate Solution Bottle2) Removeable rotating scrub brush for cleaning or can be replaced3) Large water tanks for clean and dirty water (no leaks like many have complained about)4) Does not use as much water as Bissel units5) Wider than most other models6) Light weight & easy push and pull7) Nice accessories with hose and scrub brushes & storage bag8) Powerful 10 amp motor (other cleaners have 6-7 amp motors)9) Separate trigger to release solution (Hoover PowerWash is automatic and you cannot control release of solution)10) Reasonable price & great reviewsWe couldn't be happier with the choice we made and hope this Hoover Carpet Cleaner will hold up for years of use.
