I have always had Hoover Steamvacs, but recently bought a Bissell Proheat 2x at a resale shop, and I have to say I'm extremely impressed. Excellent cleaning with very aggressive brushes, and very hot water. I do have to give credit to Hoover for extraction though, the Bissell lacks a bit in that department. Overall, if I had to buy another one, it would be the Bissell. I have never seen water as brown as what I pull out of our carpets with it.

Don't buy the MAXExtract Pressure Pro or Platinum; plastic is VERY fragile |

I have a Hoover All Terrain Steam vac It looks very similar to a Hoover Dual V steam vac. It is the best Hoover steam vac I have ever owned. It has such strong suction it even pulls sand out of the carpet. I am very impressed.. Dan |

A buddy of mine, she is a big ole farm girl and the dirt of a farm had to borrow my Dual V,cringe! She had used the neighbors Bissell with the bladder dirty water tank? I have not seen it. She said it seemed to clean pretty good but was too wet after, needed mine to get up some water. I think it helped? Trailer with particle wood floor and carpet, wet is NOT good. I cringe what it might have smelled like. Yes mine got completely washed out and rinsed when it came back.

Sorry but also @floor a matic, love the siren avatar! I have a model 2 in my living room about to be hooked up. Vacuums and sirens; my two favorite things! |

As stated above^^^ The Bissell Proheats do like to clog their spray nozzles, but on the Proheat 2x, they are very easily accessed, no tools necessary. That was the issue with mine when I bought it, but I got it for 50% off on black friday, plus another 25% in store credit, which came out to about $6 total. And it's like brand new. I always use fans to help dry the carpet, but it still takes overnight to dry. If the suction could be improved, the machine would be unbeatable.

I had this problem with a Hoover Agility. It was so easy to use and I loved it but it left my berber carpets too wet.....I thought it was because my carpet was so low pile that the suction part that meets the carpet to suck water up wasn't heavy enough pushing into the carpet. I had a thought and tried something: I taped a ten pound hand weight to the top (it didn't get in the way of anything because the tanks were on the side.) I couldn't believe how much more water it extracted from the carpet. I did this for a long time until I got my Rainbow Aquamate 3, then I gave my Hoover to a friend, but I wish I had kept it - not because I don't like the aquamate 3.... I had it 4 years. I don't think they make them anymore.
