What type of budget do you have? The F5914-900 is definitely the Steamvac you want, but since you clean so often, it might be time to upgrade to something better. Hoover and Royal are now both owned by the same company, so should you need repair on anything new, you are going to be sent to the same service center. I would look into a Rug Doctor which sell new for about $450. They use stationary brushes and far more durable parts than anything Hoover offers. The Rug Doctor hose is 12 feet long, which is extremely useful when it comes to cleaning stairs or cars. It should also last you longer than 10 years.
Please keep us updated on your decision. I hope we can lead you in the right direction.

I have two spinscrub V models, one is getting pretty old, still works better than the one I bought to replace it a couple years ago.Just my 2 cents. We have 5 rental apts here, hard wood floors under the carpet,don't want them too wet so I clean them when they move out.I like to use the newer one on just mine.The old guy does a great job, new, well it feels brittle and uses a LOT more soap since new.
