As we all know, vacuuming carpeted floors, even if we had the time to do it every day, isn’t always as effective we would like it to be. So much dirt, invisible to the naked eye, finds its way down into the fibers of the carpeting, dulling the color and taking away the fluffy newness of its feel. Carpeting takes its own kind of abuse on a daily basis, especially in households with children and pets. Dirt continues to creep down into the carpeting that regular vacuuming just won’t remove.
In considering these facts, I did some research into what makes a good carpet cleaner. And I was so lucky to receive the Hoover Dual Power Pro Carpet Cleaner FH51200 for review and it becomes the one that best fits the needs of my carpets and my family.
This carpet cleaner has exceeded my expectations in not only cleaning my carpets, but also removing the ground in dirt and restoring the carpet to its original color and feel. Hoover has used bagless technology in creating this cleaner, and it is equipped with a larger capacity container to hold the dirt it vacuums up, as well as washable filters. Along with the Hoover Dual Power Pro Carpet Cleaner FH51200, you can also purchase a two-year floor care protection plan for $14.00. This plan will cover not only normal wear and tear, but it will also provide added protection in case of breakdowns, in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty. Added protection is always a plus!
There are several features about this cleaner that appealed to me for a carpet cleaner that would fit my needs and preferences. In this item Hoover has created a heavy duty cleaner containing a DualTech Cleaning System. It uses a powerful combination of a rotating brushroll along with spinscrub brushes for scrubbing the dirt up and out of the carpet.
The Hoover Dual Power Pro Carpet Cleaner FH51200 has a 15-inch wide path nozzle and a one-gallon clean water tank. Because of the large capacity tank I can cover more carpet without having to stop frequently to change the water. The dual tanks individually hold clean water and dirty water which makes it so easy for me to empty and clean them separately.
It also comes with a kit of accessories including a spot cleaning tool, an eight-inch hose, and a special wand for pretreating. The kit also contains a 16 oz. bottle of cleanser and a mesh bag for storage. With these supplies, I am able to clean my carpet even in places that are hard to reach. There is also an accessory for power washing my upholstery. An extra and welcome benefit!
Using my Hoover Dual Power Pro Carpet Cleaner FH51200 is easy. I fill the clean water tank with water and the cleanser included in the kit. I turned on the cleaner and began to roll it across the carpet in easy strokes to be sure it concentrates on all the ground in dirt. When picking up the dirty water in the other tank (as I mentioned earlier, this product has dual tanks; one for clean water and one for dirty water), the sound of the motor will change as soon as it’s full. In addition, when full, it will stop picking up.
I then remove the dirty water tank, empty it, rinse it, and replace it onto the cleaner. This having been done, my cleaner will again begin to pick up the dirty water from the carpet.
The Hoover Dual Power Pro Carpet Cleaner FH51200 comes with a manufacturer’s limited 3-year warranty, and it is simple to assemble. No tools are needed, and it is ready to go to work in no time at all. I am enjoying the ease of cleaning I have with this product, and the feeling of gratification I get when I can look over the finished product and see success.
