Customer Reviews of Hoover F7220-900 SteamVac V2
Customer Rating:   Summary: Does the Job but... Comment: I've had this machine since 01/2004. This is the 2nd Hoover, the first being the original model that did not offer spinscrub, auto-rinse, two seperate tanks, and heating. I had absolutely no problems with the first model and upgraded after just three years only because I wanted the new features. This model does a great job with cleaning. It is awkward to carry or manage, especially when you're doing a flight of stairs and the hose won't reach so you have to balance the machine on a step while holding it with your knee. I still don't understand how the hose attachment both cleans and rinses at the same time (I don't think it does). Here's the "but" part. I've replaced the tank assembly three times because the plastic cracks from around the dispensing nozzles. Each time the replacement assembly cost in the $50.00 range. Now, I'm afraid I need yet another tank assembly replacement because the solution bottle has disengaged from it's spot and there is no way to repair it. This will be another $50.00. I use this machine a couple of times a year myself and another family member uses it in relatively the same time frame while we take turns helping move the other's furniture. I've been looking to buy another machine from maybe Bissell but not sure as those reviews are gastly - no suction, leaks, etc. I know that if I spring for the new tank assembly I'll get a year out of it before it breaks again. I can't believe that after all these years with this same model they haven't found a way to use a more giving plastic so that it doesn't crack. I'll have to mull it over to decide if I want to take a $300 plunge for a new machine that may or may not work as good or dish out another $50 for a patch job. Customer Rating: Summary: Please don't buy this machine Comment: I have had Hoovers for years, and finally broke down and replaced my old (but still funtioning) steam cleaner for the latest and greatest. Boy do I wish I had never given away my old one! The "new" one has now been in the shop for over two months, and the authorized repair shop says they have no idea when the part on order will be in, and can't get any anwers from the Hoover parts department. In my case the air turbine that drives the brushes is shot. Furthermore, the authorized repair shop said their place is full of Hoovers they can't get parts for. No telling when the part will be in, and no telling how far down on the list I am when and if the parts do arrive. I'll never buy a Hoover product again. Christine H Customer Rating: Summary: Don't buy this product! Comment: I agree with everyone else's review about the plastic cracking on the tank. I cleaned my rugs three times before the plastic turned brittle and cracked. After researching online prices to replace the broken tank it made more sense to toss this one and buy a new one. I bought a Dirt Devil brand cleaner which so far has worked great. I would not recommend this carpet cleaner to anyone! Customer Rating: Summary: FILL TANK LEAKS - 4 th TANK Comment: The plastic tank is designed too thin. The rubber check valve push's on the plastic bottom of the fill tank when it's put on the machine. Hoover knows all about the problem, but it will cut into their profit if they make a stronger tank. This is one product that you have to buy the extended warranty. And ask them to keep those tanks coming. Customer Rating: Summary: Quality of Steam Vac Comment: The first time that I tried to use the machine, it leaked almost all of the cleaning detergent onto the floor. I got about 24 square feet done and had about 4oz. of cleaner left in the resevoir. After checking very carefully under the tank looking for problems and found none, I continued on with the same results. Needless to say, I was unhappy with the machine and will have to ship it out to a Hoover repair facility and let them take it apart and look for the problem. The machine did clean very good and was not as loud as I had assumed. Except for the leak and the inconvenience, it cleaned very well. Watch out for leaks!!!!!

Choosing Appliance -> Knives The importance of high quality knives can't be stressed enough! Buy the best you can and expect to spend some serious money. It is better to buy a couple of excellent knives and slowly add to your collection rather than buying an entire set of low quality knives. Start with a chef knife and paring knife. You will also want to buy a sharpening steel. Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Dryer When shopping for a new clothes dryer, look for one with a moisture sensor that automatically shuts off the machine when your clothes are dry. Not only will this save energy, it will save wear and tear on your clothes caused by over-drying. Keep in mind that gas dryers are less expensive to operate than electric dryers. The cost of drying a typical load of laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 25 cents in a gas dryer. Hoover F7220-900 SteamVac V2
