                Wants to know if lightweight!
                BySep 14, 2025
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Yes is a cleaner very light weight compared to others. This a LIGHT DUTY as far as use, 1 small room or area rug at a time, then take a break and let it cool off. Does excellent job but is very finicky needing on/off resets to get dry to work sometimes.

                  Not happy
                  I liked the machine when it worked. However we bought this April of 2025 and I already need to spend money on replacement parts. The front floor plastic piece is cheaply made and broke. I also see this is a common problem for this particular machine. I also need to replace an end cap for a brush roll. With Hoover being such an old household name I expected way more from a product. Very disappointing.

                      MACHINE CRACKED DURING SECOND USE!!!
                      Do not waste your time! I literally just used this for the second time and halfway through I couldn’t turn the machine on. The on/off pedal wouldn’t stay “on” so I knelt down to investigate and the whole machine is cracked! There was no incident where it even bumped into anything with any amount of force so I am absolutely baffled. It was not damaged before I started either as I had to look up the manual to refresh my memory so I was down looking closely at the machine to find the model number. Please heed my warning and go with a different machine if you have the option!

                        FANTASTIC!!!! Amazing investment
                        I researched for the most purchased, highest reviewed, most reliable, personal in-home carpet cleaner, and I stumbled the smartwash+ automatic carpet cleaner manufactured by Hoover. Majority of the reviews were 5/5 stars for good reason! I couldn’t wait to clean my carpets, my package arrived last night 1/30, and I assembled and cleaned my carpets today 1/31! The directions were very clear and simple for assembly, and the ease of use for this carpet cleaner was great. I have an 80 pound dog in our home with carpets that are 25+ years old. This carpet cleaner made my carpets look basically new! The wash while pushing forward and dry mechanism when pulling the carpet cleaner back makes it super user-friendly. I can’t say enough great things about this product, other than I wish I would’ve purchased it sooner! Excellent product, Hoover. Thank you.

                              Poor investment
                              It worked for about six months before the plastic molding that clipped together to hold the brush cover broke and I couldn’t get suction anymore because the mechanism was now loose. I discovered this when trying to dry the floor and couldn’t.

                                Feeling ripped off
                                Im 65 and this is my 3rd Hoover machine, I was really skeptical of this smartwash crap and I was right apparently, it's very light and cheap made, I have only used it once in a very small area and now I go to use once again and it won't pick up the dispensed water. I actually had to use my older Hoover for help.

                                  I absolutely loved my smart wash I followed the rules to a t. I always cleaned the brushes after each use cleaned all the tanks and dried them before I put it away. Then one day I fill my water and soap and start the machine and it's making this God awful noise. Very very loud I flipped machine over and took a look and everything's clean ...is there any saving it I haven't even had it for a year. I really loved this machine and now I'm so disappointed

                                    Cleans well but build quality is bad
                                    Cleans fine but the build quality is seriously lacking. We've had this for about 2 years, not sure about the exact date. We've had 2 major issues. 1. The Suction Nozzle handle broke almost immediately (less than 2 days after opening the box). Hoover did supply a replacement part for this as they should have. 2. The clips that hole the solution tank in place do literally nothing now. If you don't hold the solution tank down, it leaks and will empty in a few minutes. The clips aren't broken, they simply don't work.
