The Hoover Streamline is so easy to operate it seems to be self-propelled. I thought my hardwood floors were reasonably clean until I used this magical cleaner! I was surprised at how filthy the water in the collection tank was after the first use, and noticed my floors never looked cleaner. My favorite option is the self cleaning option for the roller brush. The storage tray has a convenient holder for air drying the roller brush and the filter. To finish, empty the dirty water tank, rinse, and recharge the Streamline for the next use. I love the Streamline so much I bought one for my mother.
