Description of Hoover F7425-900 SteamVac Dual V with SpinScrub Hand Tool

SpinScrub brushes for carpets and hard floors, scrubs carpet fibers on all sides to gently loosen dirt. Brush pops out for cleaning, automatically stops spinning in tool mode to protect your carpet. Automatic detergent mixing system provides the correct mix of detergent and water for optimal cleaning. Removable transparent nozzle for quick rinse cleaning. Includes hard floor package.

Auto rinse feature rinses your carpet and hard floors, leaving less detergent residue behind. Edge cleaner. 20' power cord. Cleaning solutions included: Floor-to-Floor and Ultra detergents includes SpinScrub hand tool and 13" nozzle. Powerful 12-amp motor. Provides maximum suction and cleaning power. Desert Sand Color.Using hot tap water and cleaning solution, the 12-amp Hoover SteamVac V2 deep cleans carpet fibers, tough stains, and upholstery. It is also suitable for tile, ceramic, marble, and linoleum floors (though not appropriate for hardwoods). Named for its dual-nozzle construction, the cleaner provides efficient water removal and thorough edge-to-edge cleaning. The nozzle design forces hot air into the cleaning path and automatically rinses carpet clean on the backward pull. The SpinScrub brushes agitate ground-in dirt and can be turned off with a simple switch. Using a two-tank design that holds up to a gallon of water at a time, the cleaner automatically blends the cleaning solution, so you do not have to monitor it. Both tanks feature an enclosed design and convenient handles, making them easy to remove and transport. The recovery tank automatically shuts off suction when full and comes with a built-in lint screen. A removable view window on the nozzle lets you see dirty water returning to the machine.
For above-floor tasks, the cleaner comes with an 8-foot hose, a stair/upholstery tool, and a SpinScrub hand tool with rotating brushes. Conversion to tool cleaning is manual but quick, and you can remove the hose and tool caddy altogether for more streamlined use. The cleaner comes with a carrying handle, a 27-foot cord, quick-release cord hooks, and a foot pedal to release the handle. Fingertip switches and a trigger control the rinsing, washing, and Clean Surge functions. The removable brushes and a beltless design simplify maintenance. Hoover includes two 16-ounce bottles of detergent, one for carpet and one for bare floors, and backs up the machine with a full one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover F7425-900 SteamVac Dual V with SpinScrub Hand Tool
Customer Review: A Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, without doing any homework and relying on the fact that Bissel has a long standing and good reputation I succumbed to their advertising and bought the Bissel top-of-the line Pro-Heat Steamvac because it was self propelled and heats the hot tap water up to 180 degrees. BIG MISTAKE!! Sure it's self propelled but on my Berber carpeting it wouldn't even move at all when trying to push it against the grain of the carpet with the normal force exerted by a healthy male. If you pushed really hard it would move in a stuttering fashion making really nasty, unpleasant noises that sounded as if the plastic nozzle would soon break if I persisted. On a cut pile carpet it moved in any direction just as a Steamvac is supposed to. Apart from that the suction was pathetic and all it removed was a little dirt and hair. The tank inside a tank concept is also a very poor design in my opinion. Next I did what I should have done in the first place, i.e did some Internet research and talked to a few people. I then realized I needed a Hoover and not a Bissell. I took the Bissell back to Sears and got my $280 back. I then bought the top-of-the-line Hoover for the exact same price - the model number has changed to F7431-900 but it is the same Steamvac as the F7425-900. Maybe they have made some minor changes but the appearance and specs. are the same. Having 6 separate soft brushes that rotate about a vertical axis versus the single roller brush rotating about a horizontal axis on the Bissell makes all the difference in the world for moving on closed loop carpeting such as Berber. The other major improvements are the suction of the Dual V nozzle, the absence of belts, ability to turn the brushes on or off, and the completely separate, one gallon, clean and dirty water tanks. I ran some tests and the Hoover sucks up almost all of the water it sprays on the carpet and even using no detergent whatsoever the dirty water ended up looking like black coffee with lots of grounds, and the carpet only felt damp to the touch. Both of these machines are not built like the high quality, made in the USA, vacuum cleaners of many years ago, almost everything is made of plastic (unlike the old Kirbys) and they will not take much abuse or ignorance on the part of the user. It is essential to read the manual thoroughly and get to know how to connect and disconnect the tanks correctly so that they seal properly and you don't get leakage. You also have to clean out all lint buildups that may occur. There is also a right way and a wrong way to clean carpets and this is all explained in the manual. I also don't think it's a good idea to loan out your Steamvac if you want it to remain in good working order. The tool caddy on both machines is best left in the closet, hanging on a coat hangar for those rare occasions when you need it. All and all I think the Hoover F7431-900 is a great, very compact, Steamvac and it sure beats the old machines where you had to trail a long hose connected to your hot faucet and also drag around a heavy canister along with its hoses. If you follow all the directions and keep your Steamvac to tank interfaces nice and clean you shouldn't have any leakage problems unless of course you damage one of the tanks. I believe the Hoover is overly generous on the amount of detergent it adds to the water (after all they make a nice profit on detergent) but you can easily dilute it with as much water as you like when you fill the detergent tank. Unless you have several messy pets (or children) you can probably get by with either no detergent at all, or with a greatly diluted mixture.
