20 Alaur Retexturizing AHA data
I have had Bissell carpet cleaners for over 15 years, and have mostly been pleased with them. I decided it was time to give the Hoover a try, because I have had to replace the Bissell every 2-3 years, which is pretty irritating, considering I don’t have large amounts of carpet to clean, I expect them to last a little longer. I have to say that I am impressed with how well the Hoover removes the water it puts out. The carpet is noticably less wet when I am finished, and the dirt really comes up. The hose attachment works well, and the suction is strong. I couldn’t give five stars for a few reasons. The handle on the clean water/solution container doesn’t look like it is going to be strong enough to last, and it is necessary to hook the container in place. The lid to the dirty water container has to be seated on just exactly right or there will be no suction. The Bissell was super user-friendly, but the Hoover is a little more complicated. I guess the complexity was needed to produce the superior suction. I do miss the ability of the Bissell to change the dial to dispense a water only rinse. With the Hoover the water and cleaning solution are mixed. It would be possible to run water only, but you’d have to go through the pain of emptying out any remaining water/solution mix. Overall, I am really pleased with this machine. Time will tell if it outlives a Bissell.
