Hoover CleanSlate Pet Portable Carpet + Upholstery Spot Cleaner Machine

I have two children and a cat, who spill and make messes all the time so having this machine is very handy. The attachment makes it easy to change especially when I want to switch heads. It does fill fast but definitely cleans great takes all the spots out of my carpet.

I wanted one of these for years, and now that I have it, I wish I’d bought it so much earlier! I’m in love with this thing. I have cleaned all my sofas and chairs with it, and I also cleaned four suitcases after a long international trip - and WOW, I can’t believe how dirty they were! This machine really got them looking like new. The best thing about this machine is its effectiveness against pet messes, namely cat puke - my poor senior cat sometimes can’t make it off our white rug in time, but this machine makes it look like nothing even happened. It’s amazing. Highly recommend. Tip: pretreat pet messes by blotting, then spraying with either Resolve or Oxy-Clean stain remover, let it sit a few minutes, then use this machine.

I really like this so far. I did a lot of research between this one and the green one and picked this one since it has a larger suction and can clean a large area. I use this at least monthly if not more often to clean the couches, rugs, and for stain removal for pets and a baby. It’s easy to clean. The biggest downside is that it is a little bulky for storage but not a deal breaker.

There are several competitors in this space that are fairly comparable. After reviewing all and purchasing the Shark StainStriker and Hoover, I will be keeping the Hoover. PROS - Large cleaning solution and waste water tanks. - Does not have a dedicated tank for an additional cleaning solution that I won't be using: I found Shark's dual solutions to not clean any better than one solution. (I did test using the branded cleaning solutions, but will not be using either in future.) - Very easy to clean with fewer parts to remove (Shark lets you clean absolutely everything, but it's a lot of little pieces). I like to clean after every carpet cleaning anyway, so I don't anticipate a lot of dried build-up. TIP: I rinse with water, then spray with Dawn's powerwash spray and rinse again. Super easy. - Main attachment has both nylon and rubber bristle options. Crevice attachment worked well on the creases and sides of a chair I cleaned. - Although initially a major concern of mine, the heavier weight is honestly not a big difference unless you'll be carrying up and down a lot of stairs. Mine mostly sits on the ground until I move to another area. - Compact size/storage. Built-in cord wrap for electrical cord and hose. Attachment holders in base. - Can generally find a sale and puts the Hoover about $20-30 less than the Shark. TIP: Hoover sells this model with a lot of confusing variations. Mainly it comes down to differences in electrical cord length and attachment options. I wanted the rubber bristle attachment (highly recommend), so opted for slightly shorter electrical cord, since that's what was available at the time. CONS - No pet trapper attachment. This is an attachment some have that collects pet waste before it goes into the unit's hose. I found it to be pretty gross to clean the pet trapper on the Shark. I'd rather dump the large waste tank and clean out the hose with the hose-cleaning attachment (which you're supposed to do anyway), than specifically clean a smaller waste trapper. But I also am mainly cleaning up mud and the occasional puppy accident (e.g. during my puppy's first heavy rain storm, she got scared of going into the backyard!), so your needs may vary. - Cleaning spray is heavy, so uses the cleaning solution much faster. I intend to use a non-scented cleaning solution, which is a lot less expensive than the Shark or Hoover brands anyway, so not a concern (this will void your warranty on most brands, fyi, but I'm allergic to artificial scents, and no major brand offers a truly scent-free option for portable cleaners (even the "free and clear" has a "light scent"!!) The cleaning solutions (with oxy or enzymes) seem to clean about the same anyway. - Biggest CON is that the main cleaning head is not at a great angle for long-term scrubbing of the carpet. Compared to the Shark's pet trapper (longer handle, better angle), it was much harder to scrub manually back and forth on stains for a large area (such as the carpet under our dining table). Definitely a workout and seems like it'd be really easy for Hoover to fix, so surprised it's not been done. I only (hopefully) need to clean like this occasionally, so willing to put up with it for the other PROs. - Less suction than the Shark. I mainly clean area rugs on tile (or seat upholstery), so not super worried about fast drying. Everything is pretty dry in a couple hours. All in all, pretty happy with the Hoover. Rugs and upholstery are definitely cleaner after use. Small enough to store easily, and simple enough to clean that I don't mind using it right away for fairly small stains. Great option for pet owners.

Mainly used on our couch and recliner- no issues with any leakage. Easy to use and follow instructions- simpler cleaning than expected.

I wasn’t expecting much because I haven’t had the best luck with other upholstery cleaners. I tried the little green machine and another hand held machine that both just didn’t clean like I needed. I have 5 kids, 2 dogs and my husband is a mechanic so our couch gets dirty. This thing cut through the dirt like it was nothing and sucked up almost all of the water so my couch wasn’t soaking wet after I cleaned it. It’s light weight, easy to use and super easy to clean. My only complaint is I didn’t buy it sooner. I’m fixing to order my mom one. Definitely recommend it.

I had a little Green Machine for a long time and I didn't like it very much. This one is WAY better. First the whole machine comes apart and you can rinse it out. This is great if you have pets because no matter how much I vacuum ahead of time there is still dog hair. So being able to clean out all the parts is fabulous. The suction is GREAT. I tried it out first on my stairs and it was great! Took out old stains and lifted all kinds of nasty dirt.

The sprayer frequently stops working and/or jams. i have called customer service who stated that it is a common issue and to just hold the sprayer for 10-15 minutes to get it primed. Exhausting to use.

For small stain

I have 2 Bissell green machines, but one of them eventually started leaking. Our dog pee on our carpet sometime. This was on sale so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I made the switch. It has a wider suction nozzle, and stronger suction. I found my carpet noticeably dryer than if I was using the green machine. The water thank is easy to fill and the grey tank is easy to clean. There is a hose rise tools that has a spot on the machine, I am not worry about losing it and it makes rinsing the hose a lot easier. It create a close loop with the sprayer and the hose.

Small but powerful device. Quite noisy, but it is a vacuum cleaner... Without reading the instructions too closely, it's very intuitive to use: you add water (I used lukewarm water), add the cleaning product, and you're ready to clean! I started with the seats in my car (fabric). The seats were quite dirty (cleaned a year ago with a cleaning spray). Spray a little liquid, brush without vacuuming for a few moments (remove the small plastic piece to limit suction). Change the head and use only the vacuum head to maximize removal. And it's clean. When I see the color of the water being removed, I know the job has been done well. There are still a few small stains on the seats, but overall, it was really dirty to begin with. I'm going to let everything dry for 24 hours and then clean it again (to make sure the job is done properly and I don't have to do it again in a month). I even cleaned the ceiling of my car (light-colored fabric). All this took me an hour. I used the bottle of “Oxy” that came with the device. Overall, I'm very satisfied (and the price was reduced). I hope the device will last and work for a long time (2-year warranty).

I turn it on and only lasted 1sec. Tried to turn it on multiple times but was not successful. Refund was made.
