A user reviews the Hoover F5912900 TurboPower 5200 SteamVac Carpet Cleaner: “The Hoover F5912900 TurboPower 5200 SteamVac Carpet Cleaner is a pretty straightforward machine. It’s pretty hefty but assembles easily and works wonderfully. After painstakingly putting plastic under all my area rugs before shampooing, I discovered that it was really unnecessary because the wetting/suction process was so rapid that, although the rugs got amazingly clean, the water didn’t have a chance to soak through, plus the drying process was surprisingly fast as well. Know in advance, though, that you will go through a LOT of tankfuls of water and a fair amount of cleaner in order to do a thorough job. If you have pets and/or lots of people tracking across your rugs, the Hoover F5912900 TurboPower 5200 SteamVac Carpet Cleaner is a highly recommended and worthwhile product to have, and likely will pay for itself after just a couple of uses.”
