Earlier today, I put the Hoover SteamVac I purchased last week to the test.
The SteamVac required assembly, but the instructions were straightforward. The parts are mostly plastic and they had a “cheap” feel, but when the SteamVac was assembled, the construction was lightweight and easy enough to move across the carpet, even with full tanks.
I started with the dining room, one of the rooms with the lowest foot traffic in the apartment. The receiving tank was full of water by the time I was about 67% finished with the first room. As I removed the tank and dumped its contents, I was amazed at the amount of dirty water. After finishing the dining room, I progressed to the higher-traffic living room.
The manual says that the carpets will dry within six hours after cleaning, but I found that the carpet was mostly dry within as few as three hours.
Cleaning is a therapeutic activity. It actually feels good to get something really clean. I just don’t particularly like the process.
