Allow me to pile on to the mountain of positive reviews. First off, I researched this purchase quite a bit, and was swayed by the number of great reviews on Amazon. Gotta love the Internet! So I give this 5 STARS! It works very well, cleans up a lot of dirt, and it really does pick up LOTS of water so the carpet is just slightly damp, and not wet, when you’re done. Do a couple extra dry strokes! The “heated cleaning” feature routes the hot engine exhaust downward into the carpet – I’m sure this helps dry it a little more too than without that feature. Yes, the tank is “small” but it is a tradeoff – if you want a giant water tank then you have to maneuver a heavy beast around. I’d rather have something that is maneuverable and I will change the water a couple extra times. Its not like I’ll be cleaning carpets every day or every week.

My spouse was ready to throw away our expensive wool Pottery Barn throw rug that is 10 yrs old because it was “gross”. After 2 consecutive lashings with this Hoover Bad Boy (1 night, let dry, then again 2nd night) the carpet looks and feels new. Seriously. Actually better than new because its a little softer now. Hoover just saved me from having the spouse spend another gazillion dollars on a new rug.

I think if you research you’ll uncover these points but just keep in mind

1) there are SEVERAL VERSIONS of this machine, slightly different model numbers, at WalMart, Kohls, etc. The F5914-900 is the one with BOTH carpet attachments. (the Walmart one doesnt have the powered hand tool, the Kohls one is older and doesnt have the SpinScrub brushes underneath the machine, etc). I found that BestBuy and Menards carried the “real” 5914-900, but Amazon had the best price.

2) USE REAL carpet extractor shampoo as its low-sudsing and won’t leave a sticky residue in the carpet. Don’t cheap out and use a dash of Palmolive, and I wouldn’t even use Tide etc as some others suggest as I don’t think it will rinse out of the carpet in
THE LISTENER S GUIDE

The Transcend 8 GB memory card works perfectly well in my digital camera. The speed is excellent, and the price was quite reasonable.

I was really excited to purhcase this mount for my GPS, as the suction cup mount I had was always falling off the windshield. But, the friction mount didn’t live up to my expectations. This mount protects my GPS from wear and tear much better than the suction cup, but it does not provide much ‘friction’ for a friction mount. My dash is molded plastic, and I drive on gravel roads quite a bit. The whole system tends to slide around on the dash, but I’d take this system over a falling GPS any day. I’m considering a small piece of duct tape on the underside of this mount system for max stabilization.

Bought this product for training for 1/2 marathon. Overall very happy. Sometimes it takes forever for the watch to find the satellite but would recommend it to others.
