The handle and top tank release look like they're off a Hoover T2 upright. The nozzle, wheels, and upper tank are V2, the base is Max Extract, the bottom tank just looks funky overall. It almost look like it might have a better spayer similar to the MaxExtract 77 style model, with suction canal and attachment conversion of a V2 and it looks like their several holes on the bottom for Hoover's "Heated Cleaning" technology where hot air exhaust from motor helps dry carpet faster. I'll bet it does clean well.
I'd like to see an upright extractor on the market that scrubbed and had spray jets with a measurable PSI similar to that of canister extractors and powerful suction. |

I think it looks dreadful, but I wonder how it performs compared to the classic spin scrub models... |

I would say performance is about the same. Until they change the bristle texture on their spinning brushes, as I think they're too soft, speed up the brush or fix it in location so it sinks into the carpet more and doesn't float on the surface as easily. I love my Hoover Steamvac Widepath, it's easy to use and does an acceptable job cleaning but I'd be willing to pay a little for it if it did clean better yet which it could.
