Video

Excellent! Thank you

Hey just curious if you still have this.... this video is 5 years old. I have a very similar unit that's 3 years old and I take care of everything properly like you do... I even put everything in front of a fan to blow dry... including the machine itself....before putting everything away.

Once you have the brush assembly off, the brushes come out for individual cleaning pretty easily. On the transparent plastic cover there are six tabs ; just push them in and that cover comes off. The middle brush is screwed in but the four outer brushes just pull out. You can then pick the cat hairs (most of my dirt) off easily and you don't have to unscrew the middle one. Put the four brushes back in - it's obvious how - and clip the plastic cover back in place. I did mine yesterday and I wish I had seen your video first for the latch for the business end of the machine.

Where is the hose located that you took off in the other video?

You did a good job but you left out one important area to clean at the end of the "Clean" or "Rinse" shaft where the soap is dispensed. That area grows mold and is impossible to remove at the soap ouitlet.

You can remove the brushes and use a comb to get all the dirt in between the bristles...

Thank you so much you answered my question. Very thorough video. Good job!!!!

Thank you for all the info! I watched each part and no longer felt confused if I was doing stuff right!

Ty

Great video thank you so much

You should rinse fırst… then put wash mode..

The whole brush comes apart pop the clear part off and take each brush off to clean

I have a Hoover power scrub... The top of the dirty water reservoir has a place that I can't reach and it is full of dog hair. You can't take it apart so how do you clean it?

Good video in cleaning the machine. You can also remove a small silver screw and all the brushes come out individually for a better clean.

Great job on the video and now you have clean carpets and I'm getting ready to use my new machine. Thank you for your time and effort. I did subscribe.

Great how to clean reassemble video. The clear plastic brush cover is removable to clean brushes really well by pushing the 3 tabs in on either side of the brush assembly.

@8:32 and @10:00 that clear plastic shield comes off fairly easily and then you can clean the 5 brush heads individually and remove the fur from between them.

Great video! When we cleaned ours a little water/solution remains in that tiny reservoir in the Clean Water Tank near the Wash/Rinse nozzle. Any idea how to empty that out?

Thank you for this video ! Just bought mine and got it dirty

This video was VERY informative! Thank you 😊

Thank you so much. This made it so easy. I'm going to try tooth brushing the bristles to get hair out.

We’re having a problem with the machine not spraying and we’ve only had the machine for two months! Used it 5-6 times with no problem. Any suggestions?

I LOVE this machine however my hoover elites' brushes are not spinning. I cleaned my machine and let everything dry and I made sure that the actuator where the brush assembly goes into the body of the machine was spinning freely but the brushes are still not spinning. I so do not want to take the machine apart. AAAAHHHHH!

Thank you for this added video! I just did my stairs & they came out great! I did the upstairs hallway & it looks good. May do it again, it gets a lot of traffic! One thing I don't like is the spin brushes. After only using my machine twice they look like they are falling apart! I still had my old one of 10yrs & its brushes looked brand new & I put that machine through hell! They need to make them better! I also noticed that the electrical cord is much shorter by at least 5'! Wasn't happy with that. But thank you so very much for your professional-looking videos! They have been a great help!

Is it important to go over your carpet on rinse after you have done the deep clean shampoo?

use a crevice end of a wet & dry vac over the brushes, it's work well.

For the bottom spin brush, you can also pop and take the spin brushes out and clean them separately too

Great video and thanks for sharing! I have always used a Hoover carpet cleaners. I just got this & last night was the first time I used it. Everything is easy to clean except for the brushes! Ugh! I took the clear plastic off and cleaned each brush one at a time. I have a small dog and even though I vacuumed 3 times the brushes still had hair in them. Maybe they will create one that’s easier to clean the brushes. I went back over the carpet before I took it all apart to rinse the soap out and it wasn’t extracting the water out very well! Wasn’t happy with that but otherwise it’s a great machine!

I hope you are a schoolteacher-you made all 4 Hoover videos easy to follow! I have 3 cats and 2 large dogs. I love this Hoover also.

Great videos. I really liked that you divide it into sections. I could go stop work on that section of the matching and practice before continuing your review. You went from top to bottom. It made sense by the time I saw the 4th video. Thank you so much. I also learned some more pointers from other people reviews.

Really helpful video! Hoover also suggests to use a small butter knife to clean hair, lint and debris from the front clear plastic section. Really makes a difference especially with suction!

Great review! So much more information than Hoover's video!

I needed this video, you're awesome. My brother in-law just borrowed mine and brought it back to me filthy and full of bedbug's 😫😠. I'm kinda freaking out about it. I really wanted to use to today ☹️. I have to take it all the way apart to make sure it's very very clean.

I can't thank you enuf for this video. Your a life saver! Thank you!!!!

I CANNOT stress enough how important it is to clean the vacuum IMMEDIATELY after each use. Dont be lazy like me. One time I didnt clean it right away and when I tried to use it a month later, this HORRIBLE smell emitted from the vacuum. Upon a closer look I saw what looked like dead maggots inside. It was horrible! It took about 2 hours and nearly an entire bottle of bleach to clean out the gunk and dead bugs. What a nightmare. I almost threw the vaccuum in the trash! Lool

Thank you so much!!!!

Your video series are very instructive and thorough. Thank you. I wasnt sure it was necessary to do the rinse cycle or even how that worked so your video helped.

thanks for uploading. this video was very helpful and all around great quality! 😁

Word of advice for those that use this carpet cleaner. VACUUM BEFORE! The mud sitting in the bottom of the canister at the beginning means the area wasn't thoroughly cleaned with a vacuum. If you vacuum properly, you will only see dirty water, not a bunch of mud. That dirt will clog your machine and lower its performance.

Thank you for this video! I learned how to take the brush off because of this video! I had just bought this machine.

Is there a reason that you pour the dirty water down the sink drain instead of down the toilet? I would think all the hair and dirt would clog the sink drain.

Hmm, I wonder if I can use this booger to clean the carpet in my truck....

Make sure that red door on the right bottom front is always down or it won't be sucking the water up.

I realize this is an old video, I just bought one of these, but did you consider perhaps your carpet is running, as in the dye is running every time you get it wet, your carpet is dyed black in some places, so it may just be continuing to run as they call it, frustrating when that happens, takes you a while to figure out the dye may just be running.

Thanks so much. I didn't know I could take it all apart and it was so grimy!

This was really helpful! You can remove the plastic cover for the brushes. Push in the 3 tabs on either side and it will come off for better cleaning!

Hi, I've had this machine for about 3 years. works great. i recently had an issue where the dirty water reservoir tank won't seal shut. i've even sat on the top to try to get it to close but it doesn't close enough to allow the latch to hook. anyone else have any issues like that? other than that, it's a great machine.

Thank you for the review. I have same cleaner. However, I wanted to share something I discovered, to my surprise. I have several area rugs, just like yours, in my Office and Clubhouse. The 3 rugs are all different colors with basic designs. One more Black, another Brown (like yours) and my Huge one is Dark Dark reddish burgundy wine...etc. With each cleaning, I noticed my returned water was basically the Main color of carpets. I didn't really noticed this until I dumped water out, between the 3. First one was the dominate black one. At first, I thought, geeze, this carpet is super dirty with the blackish water. Like you I cleaned wash and then 2 rinse and drying. Then I started over with the brown carpet. Return water was also dark brown. (I was thinking, why did I wait so long to clean these?). Both Black and Brown carpets turned out great and the multi-colored floral designs (whatever they are called) looking more vivid. Then I started on the Dark reddish one. This is when I noticed the return water being reddish. No matter how often I went over the rugs, the dye always lifted a little bit. No damage appearance to rug's design. However, now I know, I can't depend on the return's water appearance to determine if carpet is clean. Esp. with your brownish carpet. LOL With all that said, I love my Hoover! Especially with the bigger tank! Sincerely, Brigitte in Tulsa Oklahoma

The cheaper delux model comes with rotating brush powered hand tool. The elite doesn’t come with this tool but still cost more than the delux. They are virtually same otherwise

Thank you very much for making this video!!!! Very helpful!!
