Hoover SteamVac F7425900 Dual V Widepath Reviews
With so much critical opinion we first decided to break down the review for and against the machine.
Positive Reviews say: “This model also offers a convenient detergent mixing system. You simply add the detergent and the machine does the rest. No cumbersome diluting of detergent is required.” This reviewer also raves about the SteamVac’s attachments and features, “Included with this model are a removable nozzle, a hand tool, and an attachment for bare floor cleaning. Most users of this model have reported satisfaction when they pull the product from the box.”
The Negative Reviews, on the other hand count for more of the flaws in the machine’s design. The reviews somewhat unanimously say that the product doesn’t last long and the parts are cheap and easily breaks. “ I just put mine in the junk – I had only used it a few times when the first clean tank broke at the seal ordered a new tank, which took weeks to come in and cost 50.00 and it came in made of thinner plastic and lasted a very short time. (User Review)”
They continue to say that Hoover SteamVac F7454900 doesn’t do a good job performing well on carepts either. It takes a long time to take out a stain that should be easily cleaned. There are also a lot of isolated incidence that effect a small group of users which also supports the statement that the machine has a lot of design flaws.
