I guess it's a sign of my age, but I am legitimately EXCITED about this carpet cleaner. I have two dogs, four cats, and two kids - so my carpets were in rough shape before I got this carpet cleaner. I normally rent a cleaner, so my expectations were high, and WOW - Hoover definitely lived up to its reputation. My carpets look absolutely amazing, the machine itself is super easy to use, and overall I could not be more pleased with this product. Highly recommend for anyone with carpets in their home!!
