Suction is very good.The Hoover PowerScrub XL is simply a better model, for power, ease of cleaning and longevity.Comparing other Hoover upholstery and/or carpetI also previously in years past (2020-2023) purchased two otherOther model -Hoover SmartWash Automatic Carpet Cleaner Machine: Very good until it dies in about a year with very soon need to rug the suction part due to attachment/clasp failure. Purchased Two (2) of-Hoover SmartWash Automatic Carpet Cleaner Machine AND EACH DIED WITH IRREPARABLE ENGINE FAILURE after estimated monthly use with proper cleaning and care to maintain it in its very good condition. Also for this model buyer beware the front plastic suction hood at the clasp like attachment will break very soon into ownership and it will still work as necessary if one utilizes small bungee cords ( two connected to span the distance), but the hooks at the bungee ends must be placed and monitored so as to not cause scratching of other non-carpeted floor surface when moving the machine about.See SmartWash Automatic Carpet Cleaner Machine at https://a.co/d/hamKtYR )And/or ( https://a.co/d/3gClx7Z ).Additionally compared to the (preferred) -Hoover PowerScrub XL Pet Carpet Cleaner Machine for Carpet and Upholstery, Deep Cleaning Carpet Shampooer Machine with Multi-Purpose Tools (at https://a.co/d/gQBt6rI )- the latter is preferred for ease, convenience of the fresh water and moreso the dirty water parts, simply stated easier to deal with when refilling and emptying and reinsertion.Same goes for the following which also died (est. 1 year, monthly use), with irreparable belt sticking or motor failure: Purchased in about 2020 -Hoover PowerDash Pet Compact Carpet Cleaner Machine, Lightweight Shampooer Machine, Pair with a Hoover Carpet Cleaner Solution for a Bright, Refreshed Home ( https://a.co/d/9VFeaig ). Again, the Hoover PowerScrub XL Pet Carpet Cleaner Machine for Carpet and Upholstery, Deep Cleaning Carpet Shampooer Machine with Multi-Purpose Tools (at https://a.co/d/gQBt6rI )- is preferred.Each of the above will do a decent job, the Hoover Power Dash was not then equipped with attachments for smaller jobs or upholstery; the preference is principally based on longevity, durability and ease of use and cleaning/maintenance.

We are extremely pleased with the new Hoover PowerScrub XL Pet carpet cleaner. We initially purchased a similar model named the same way at Wal-Mart. However, the Wal-Mart model (ending in 01) was not the same model as this one (ending in 02). They look identical with similar features, but they were not. The Wal-Mart model does not have a separate solution bottle, the extra attachment for the hose or the bag for the hose and tools. The Wal-Mart model was about $40 cheaper, but not worth the difference for the features and additional attachments and storage bag. I did notice this until I put it together and was a deal breaker. I ordered it online and returned the unit to the store for full credit the next day without any hassle from Wal-Mart.We have an older rug in one our bedrooms that was very soiled from years of use and had a lot of stains. We thought we would have to replace the rug. Since this was a good quality rug, we decided to buy this rug cleaner to see if we could clean it. We just used it and it worked GREAT. After several passes, it took out most of the stains and now the rug is acceptable. We will go back and use the scrub rush tomorrow to get the stubborn stains out.After looking at numerous reviews, we chose the Hoover PowerScrub for the features it had as follows:1) Separate Solution Bottle2) Removeable rotating scrub brush for cleaning or can be replaced3) Large water tanks for clean and dirty water (no leaks like many have complained about)4) Does not use as much water as Bissel units5) Wider than most other models6) Light weight & easy push and pull7) Nice accessories with hose and scrub brushes & storage bag8) Powerful 10 amp motor (other cleaners have 6-7 amp motors)9) Separate trigger to release solution (Hoover PowerWash is automatic and you cannot control release of solution)10) Reasonable price & great reviewsWe couldn't be happier with the choice we made and hope this Hoover Carpet Cleaner will hold up for years of use.

Great carpet shampooer!
