Best vacume ever, not harsh at all and the vibrating head brings all the dirt up in carpet. Show details

I had the top of the line Bissell that cost me a fortune. After a short time it stopped working. Bissell replaced it for me with a new one. Several… Read more

months later and only after using it twice it again stopped working. The Bissell technician told me it's a factory defect. They offered me another replacement. 3 years later, and only after using it 3 times, it again failed. It was out of warranty by then, so I called Bissell and explained to the woman the situation from the start and wanted to know what to do. The woman was abrupt and rudely reminded me that it was out of warranty etc. In frustration I put it in the bin and swore never to buy Bissell again. Then one day when I was vacuuming with my Hoover upright vacuum cleaner that had served me well without issues for over 10 years, it occured to me 'maybe Hoover makes carpet cleaners'. So, last week, after researching several brands, I bought the Hoover Powerscrub XL. What a fantastic machine. It cleaned well, it was easy to fill and clean and $200 cheaper than the nightmare Bissell I had. Anyway if it's as reliable as my Hoover vacuum cleaner, then I will be very happy. PS. Hoover offers a 3 years warranty whereas Bissell is only 2 years warranty, something to consider when buying. Another important point to mention is the suction power. Bissell has an 800 watt motor compared to Hoover's powerful 1200 watts motor, both deciding factors for me. Having used both Bissell and Hoover, I definitely see a big difference with the Hoover's power suction, nearly filling up the tank with dirty water and leaving the carpet almost dry, whereas from my experience Bissell didn't have the same power-suction as evidenced by the half filled dirty water bottle and the residual wet carpet. Overall, I'm very happy with the Hoover and I highly recommend it.

out. When I looked at the reviews before purchasing I was concerned about the complaints of the size of the clean and waste water chambers being small, if they were bigger it would be too difficult to use. What I'm saving on getting a professional carpet cleaner in vs changing the water a few times isn't a bother for me.

Hoover Regal 9001PH Potentially Lethal Electrical Shock from faulty product and no support from Hoover – Please be aware the metal wand on these vacuums is not grounded to earth. My daughter's vacuum had a manufacturing fault where the 240 volt wiring… Read more

that passes through the wand to power the head was pinched between the plastic end cap and the metal wand. The sharp edge of the metal wand penetrated the insulation on the wiring causing the wand to become live. My daughter received a nasty electrical shock that could easily have been fatal.

Hoover would not provide support as the vacuum was bought from Godfreys who had gone into “receivership”. My daughter bought the vacuum specifically because it was branded Hoover and had the reasonable expectation it was a genuine Hoover product backed by Hoover.

Unfortunately I do not know if the sale of this product constitutes deceptive advertising and sales practices, I can only say that my daughter felt deceived by the use of the Hoover name and the Hoover trademark on a product that is not supported by Hoover.

I am frankly appalled and deeply concerned for the safety of other users of this product. It is very disappointing to have to write this review for a brand I had previously regarded as iconic and whose strong reputation, built over many decades, appears to have been sadly eroded.

I did approach the Godfreys receivers (PWC) with this issue, alas to no avail. I have also raised the issue with Choice ACA who recommended the vacuum in their 2023 review and notified the ACCC of my concerns regarding this product.

This vacuum is labelled as "double insulated" and has no earth pin on its power plug, however the vacuum wand tube is metal and has a label warning "Danger Live Parts Within". With no earth pin on the power plug it is not possible for the metal wand to be connected to ground. It is concerning that an exposed metal tube containing live components is part of a product labelled "double insulated". Usually exposed metal parts on mains connected appliances are firmly connected to ground to avoid the possibility of becoming live should a wire come loose or other fault occur.

Disappointing – Bought this vac to use on couches for cat hair but found it bot very good on picking it up. Went away for 2 months and switched it off and when we returned it would not charge up so absolutely dead in the water. Would not buy another Show details

rolls around and turns on draining it's battery. Annoying ! Expensive useless item . Avoid and get the Kmart $12 one . That works and is car chargeable and $70 cheaper !

Hoover Clean Slate – I bought this as I needed something for my car seats as well as carpet. It does an amazingly good job. I’m really happy with it. Easy to use. Only… Read more

thing I’d say it’s missing is some pipe lengths so you can stand up while doing the carpet. Still it works great. Sucks the water out well and the dirt.

carpet shampooer - this one got sand out of the carpet that must’ve been there for ages. I recommend this machine

I purchased this vac 2 months ago. When I got it home I fully charged the battery and timed the "running time" of the vac on "hard floor" mode. The… Read more

item ran for 14.02 minutes. After 2 months of use I retested the running time of the vac , also on "hard floor" mode. I believe this is the vacs least "power hungry mode. The item ran for 14.03 mins. Now given that it's stated both in the specs, and on the box that the vac came in, that the vac's running time is "up to 35 minutes of run time", why I am I only getting around 40% of the claimed run time? I have considered buying a second battery for the vac, but the cost of this was $149. I do not recommend this product

This vac performed reasonably well on both hard flooring and carpet. Suction is adequate and I found battery life to be quite good with the 4ah… Read more

battery. Power head was good and operation in general was pleasant enough to use. Nothing great but good enough for what you could expect at this price. Came with some useful attachments also. Now to my dislikes.

If you find satisfaction in items built well then this vac isn't for you. Plastic mouldings are very average with poorly joining parts and what I can only describe as a very cheap feel in the hand. All attachments are of very poor quality with the feel of a cheap toy you'd get in a show bag that you wouldn't expect to last the trip home. Visually it looks good in online videos but once I unboxed it I felt the need to advise my wife that it's clearly a poorly built product and to be gentle with it.

Its ok for a quick clean up but longer than then a few mins I found it to be to top heavy and uncomfortable to hold.

I bought this vac as I had previously owned the evolve which failed in within 12 months so already had a compatable battery so could use both for longer run times with the emerge.

On the second day we owned this vac the power head completely failed. I wasn't at all surprised was only too happy to return the Hoover to replace it with another brand.

I should add that my first cordless vac was a Bosch that I loved and lasted 4 years of heavy use only to be replaced by the Hoover emerge after the battery was worn out. The emerge was ok but also felt poorly built and would block up if you even thought about using it, when that failed I bought the evolve with the delusion that it would be good enough for the inbetween clean with our corded vac with the added benefit of having a second battery. Went back to Bosch for a cordless and have been very happy.
