In the market for a New Carpet Cleaner

Kenmore Home cleaning system

Also known as a Sears Cleanmore. Were they made by Singer?

Lately, I see them LESS often on eBay; seems to be a collector's item?
 
I decided on a Hoover Steam Vac. I picked it up today.
Its fantastic. I cleaned my Family Room, Stairs, and a bedroom.
It did a fantastic job and my carpets look fantastic. The carpet cleaner
I got is the basic model with the hose and one non spinscrub upholstery
Tool. A little heavy, kinda loud, a pain to switch to carpet to tools, but I love
the blue sparkly color. Its nice, has clean surge which seemed to be effective.
I use it without the hose on it because it's clunky, and in the way. The hose will
be stored on board only when it's not in us. I vacuumed before and after
since according to the manual you are supposed to do for best results.
I do wish I could go back with just water without having to fill the
tank up with just clean water, and then go back over it to rinse all the residue
out of my carpet. I like the three brush settings, also. It only took about a 1.
hour for my carpets to dry completely, but I waited 3 before I vacuumed. I wanted
to make sure it was dry before I vacuumed it. Must of been the hot exhaust called heated cleaning
that made it dry so quick. Overall I'm impressed, I only payer 129 dollars, and it's
way worth that price.
 
I have to say HOOVER!

My mother bought a cheap Dirt Devil shampooer at Kmart when I was a teenager. It was HORRIBLE and left the carpets very damp. A couple of years ago, my vacuum buddy in Sand Springs, OK gave me a Hoover SteamVac and I’ve been using it for the past three or four years. It works very well and my carpets are not as damp as they were with the Dirt Devil. I’m in the market for another Hoover, because this one has seen a lot of use and abuse (I’m not very careful with it). The bottom part of the plastic handle has broken off and it is louder than usual. But it still cleans well!

A couple of months ago I acquired an Electrolux Floor pro. When I shampoo I usually use the Electrolux Floor Pro first and then rinse with the Hoover Steamvac using only a minimal amount of shampoo in the tank. The combination of the Hoover and Electrolux works Great!
