Just replaced my old Hoover max extract with this model. What an incredible engineering improvement. So easy to use. Buckets just set into place with no crazy aligning and bad handles. I thought I loved my old one, but not anymore. This model is so user friendly and clean up is a breeze. No trapped dirt you couldn't get too. I love this new model. So happy the old one broke. AND it cleans beautifully. I highly recommend! Nice job Hoover.
