I was sent the Hoover Powerdash Compact Cleaner to try and give my honest review of it. I think this is a great carpet cleaner, especially for its size. I was a little skeptical at first of how well it would work because of its size, but quickly changed my mind about it. The clean water and solution tank seem to be in the perfect spot and so is the dirty water tank. If I had to give one negative thing about it is that I wasn't thrilled with where the spout is to empty the dirty water. Because of the location, I did get a lot of splash back. Other than that, I like the machine quite a bit. My carpet became nice and clean and dried quickly.
