Hoover PowerDash Pet Hard Floor Cleaner Machine, Lightweight Floor Cleaning Machine, Floor Scrubber with Spin Scrub Brushes, Fast Drying System, Ideal for Hardwood, Vinyl, Tile, Laminate and More

This Hoover powerdash is lot better than the Bissell Crosswave. The suction is better because it has a rubber edge that touches the floor, it has more water output for better scrubbing, and it works better on tile. I added a little vinegar to my cleaner for an elderly cat issue and it worked wonderfully. I took a pic of what’s I used and the size of the canister. The cleaner canister is 1/2 the size of the dirty water canister. As you can see from the pic of the assembled canisters, my floors were disgusting, and I had been using a Bissell Crosswave. The picture shows a full canister of dirty water to the rear with about 1/3 clean water in the front. Also, it automatically stops when the dirty water is full, like the Bissell, so you know when to empty it. I could fill my old cleaner twice before emptying the dirty water in my Bissell because it didn’t pick up as much water. Also, I didn’t vacuum first and it didn’t clog once. I had to unclog my Bissell at least three times every time I did my floors, even with vacuuming first! It was awful! Also, the Bissell has a cloth roller that stays wet and gets smelly. The Hoover has plastic scrubbers that are turn circles horizontally on the floor instead of rotating like a rolling pin, so it scrubbed better and dried fast so it’s never smelly. It took three washes to get all the dirt out of the grout on my floor, but it’s only tea colored dirty water when I use it now. The first time it was like coffee, the second time it was like coffee, the this time it was hardly dirty at all, but I wanted to be sure I got all the dirt. Today when I cleaned the entire house, it was like tea, and I can wear white socks and they stay clean. I couldn’t do that with my Bissell. I’m glad I made the change to Hoover. It is heavier than the Bissell, and my hand got a little tired from holding the cleaner release lever. I’ll probably clamp it shut with a Velcro strip in the future. Overall, I’m very happy! I spent a lot less on my Hoover and it’s a much better product!

I was very excited to order this and try it out. First problem: It came out of the box broken! Design SUCKS and product quality could improve 10 fold. HOOVER-I'm talking to you here-The upper portion of the vacuum is sturdy and heavy, which I like! It seems like a quality household cleaning tool. The bottom end is made from frail, brittle plastic that clearly has NO DURABILITY WHATSOEVER. Given that the edges of the plastic were broken into pieces when I pulled it out of the box.Upon my first use, things were working pretty well. I was impressed at how well it seemed to clean my slate stone floor. This is probably the hardest floor EVER to clean, and I thought I could accept all the design issues if it at least did a good job cleaning my difficult-to-clean floor. It picked up about 1/3 of the water it laid down, so I had to dry my floor with an old bath towel. Fine. Job ended with a satisfactory clean floor.Well, then came the deal breaker. I refilled the clean water canister and set my 8 year-old to the task of cleaning the dining room floor. This one is MUCH easier, given that it is a smooth vinyl plank floor. He was successful at cleaning about 25% of the floor, but all of a sudden the water would not flow. No FLOW. Why? I still don't know. It certainly had plenty of water in the clean water tank. And the dirty water tank was showing even LESS collected than before. So it wasn't an issue with the tanks. I spent about 2 hours on hold with Hoover while simultaneously trying to get help from their online chat-bot. I did all the things they recommend to "trouble shoot" a NO FLOW situation: check the tanks are installed properly, check the handle is installed properly, ensure water is in the tank. NO DICE. At the end of the 2 hour ordeal, I finally was transferred to a human being, whose first recommendation was that I fill the clean water tank! "Lady, do you honestly think I've been trying to run it with no water in it?" By then I was out of time... If I have a brand-new out-of-the-box product that A) is broken when I get it, B) seems frail and poorly made from the onset, and C) doesn't perform it's basic function within 24 hours of being placed into service... Well, Hoover! You lost me on this one, pal! Back to the drawing board!I would LOVE to invest in a good quality automatic mopping machine that can clean my stone kitchen floor... but this is NOT it.

This scrubber is a back saver. The proof of its effectiveness is in the water dirty brown

I bought this vacuum after reading reviews on both Bissell and Shark competitors, and although the others had better reviews, don’t always believe the hype. A more well known brand name does not always equal better quality! I liked how this model had spinning brushes (the others did not), so I decided to give it a try to see how it compared to the more expensive models. I wanted something that would actually scrub my floor, that could get deeper into my linoleum. Well, true to the first reviews I read on the Hoover, I could not get it to work. I wrestled with it for 30 minutes (even took out the “hidden” piece of cardboard at the bottom that most people miss) and took the tanks in and out. Well when I was about to give up, I pushed the top handle back in and it WORKED (small things, I know). Don’t give up on this machine, because once I finally figured out how to make it work this thing got THREE full tanks of dirty water that you see in the picture above. I’ve never been so disgusted by my floors in my life! It was easy to use and had powerful suction that you can feel sticking to the floor...the floors dried very quickly, less than 10 minutes. I only gave four stars though because it’s heavy, making it harder to maneuver and takes some arm to get around. It’s worth it though, since it’s hard to find powerful vacuums that aren’t heavy in the first place, so just depends on what you value more. The key to this kind of vacuum being effective though is you have to clean SLOW. Don’t get this if you want a fast job. The trade off is that it takes away a lot of the hard work you have to endure with push mops, so I’ll trade my sore arms for a little extra cleaning time.
