Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover F6024-900 SteamVac Widepath LS
Customer Review: This cleaner sucks - in a good AND a bad way
Summary: 3 Stars
The good suction: I have used this cleaner on my entire house. I must say that both the clean and the dirty tanks are easy to clean and fill. The extraction is so good that the carpets usually are dry in about 1/2 hour. I have successfully removed dried cat vomit, gooey unknown substances left by a 4 year old, as well as standard filth with this cleaner.
The bad suction:
I have had problems getting the dirty tank to remain snapped into place to get a proper vacuum for removal of the solution. The cleaner does NOT like going from carpet to linoleum - I have multiple areas where my carpet is set next to the linoleum with no running strip near it. The solution usually gets sprayed unusually heavy in patches on smooth surfaces, and the machine has a hard time switching from carpet to smooth surface for extraction (i.e. it leaves a puddle on the linoleum). The rotating brush attachment for stairs is a total disappointment. No matter how many times I try to use that thing (at least 10) - it will not pull an adequate vacuum for extraction. The manual says to "purge the air from the system" by holding your hand over the inlet - still doesn't work. I end up using the upholstery tool on the carpets with adequate results - it usually takes a couple of days for them to dry due to excess solution being left behind though. Also, it is VERY hard to clean the extraction part of the cleaner, especially if you have short haired cats. I cannot for the life of me remove all the hair, even with the little flexible tool that is intended for this purpose.
For those with homes that do not have carpeted stairs - I think this cleaner would be fine, especially if you do not have unusual levels of filth from pets and kids. If you have stairs, keep looking.
Description of Hoover F6024-900 SteamVac Widepath LS
This 1100-watt hot-water vacuum cleans carpets deeply and scrubs bare floors with six rotating brushes (two speeds) that cover a 14-inch path illuminated by dual headlights. With onboard attachments connected to a 10-foot hose, the vacuum accomplishes other chores as well. One powered tool brushes upholstery and stairs clean, a second scrubs hard surfaces, and a crevice tool reaches into tufted upholstery. The vacuum applies hot tap water and cleaning solution (two 16-ounce bottles are included) and then vacuums up the dirty water. Both clean-water and dirty-water tanks detach. Using the finger trigger, you can apply cleaning mixture as needed, and a thumb-activated button boosts the mixture's output by 50 percent for heavy soil. Made of plastic, the vacuum weighs 27 pounds, stands 45 inches high, has a toe-operated on/off switch, and comes with a 33-foot cord. Assembly requires just two screws (which are included). Hoover warrants the vacuum against defects for one year. --Fred BrackSteam Cleaners
