Overview

The Hoover Max Extract® 77 Multi-Surface Pro Carpet & Hard Floor Cleaner is the upgraded version of Hoover Max Extract 60 (see our review), by adding three special features: brush speed level control, water/rinse selector and multiple floor cleaning tools.

The addition of these features allows users to customize for different cleaning tasks from delicate area carpets to sealed wood floor types.

This model FH50240 Max Extract 77 has a counter-rotating brush unit on the brush head for more scrubbing activities than the Max Extract 60. It has retained all of the technologies such as forced heated air, water recovering from carpet and edge cleaning ability.

The downside is heavyweight and this model is somehow not very durable when compare to Hoover Max Extract 60 (users rate it lower than the Max Extract 60 and tend to pick up the Max Extract 60 more than this unit).

However, if you are able to find one either as an overstock, renewed or even used model, it does have some good features — especially the ability to clean both carpets and hard floors.

It appears to have better features for maximal performance when comparing with Hoover Max Extract 60 and other units like Hoover Powerscrub or Hoover Steam Vac. However when using, in reality, a lot of users do not very appreciate this unit. Instead of choosing this unit, you can move to one of Hoover’s newer models.


Recommendation for Hoover Max Extract 77

Unless you are getting a really good deal on the Hoover Max Extract 77 or 60, our recommendation is to purchase a newer model carpet cleaner.
