Overview
Hoover SteamVac F5914900 is another common choice when talking about home use carpet cleaner which is trusted by over eight thousand users for years. Because the SteamVac with CleanSurge Carpet Cleaner is an older popular model, it can be a little more difficult to find.
This Hoover SteamVac F5914900 is a classic unit with no fancy features but it works amazingly and very durable. The unit uses spinning brush head for extracting the dirt and pet hair out of carpets, it also has 3-speed brush roll choice for different carpet types.
The SteamVac Plus comes with two tools — an upholstery tool to clean furniture and a Powered Hand Tool to easily deep clean stairs and small spots and stains.
Besides, it uses a powerful motor at 12 amps for the maximal suction level ( 12 amps rating is the highest motor level of home use upright carpet cleaner on the market).
The downside is that while it cleans extremely well any carpet type, the carpet drying time is a bit slow.
Should you buy Hoover Steamvac F5914900 in 2021?
Despite Hoover Steamvac is a good carpet cleaner, it does not have many features like Hoover Powerscrub Elite or Hoover Smartwash (we reviewed them both). We recommend you to consider the 2 models above and make a consideration — or check out more options in the Hoover Amazon store.

- Against for users who have a lot of pets because this unit is not optimized for pet hair pick up. If you have a lot of pets, check for Hoover Powerscrub Deluxe FH50251 or Bissell Revolution 2X pet carpet cleaner (model 1548 and model 1986)
