Hoover Steamvac with Clean Surge vs Hoover Steamvac Dual V Widepath: Any recommendations on this 2 models?
1126571
I bought the F7411-900 because it appeared to be somewhat heavier duty. Even so, the plastic parts are NOT over built and need to be handled carefully to avoid damaging the plastic parts. I would NOT carry either plastic container by the included handle. When filled with fluid they are too heavy for the handle. Put your hands UNDER the container when carrying them while full. All parts need to be thoroughly cleaned after use because the machine picks up an amazing amount of dirt, sand and fines that can wear out the small plastic and rubber seals and hinges etc. simply by rubbing or vibrating from motor running and machine movement. The machine picks an equally amazing amount of hair and it needs to be removed before it drys onto the various housing parts and the screens and filters and ducts.

I am comfortable using this frequently on hardwood oak floors. You can control the quantity of steam, but probably the most important thing is using a wood safe cleaning solution. I used the Hoover brand provided, but also used a pH balanced floor solution by an eco friendly brand to good effect. Also, steam is really awesome in that not a lot of water is pooling on the floor like you might have with traditional mopping. You'll love how clean your floors get and how quickly the process goes! That said, there are some flaws with this design so I'm only giving it 3 stars. I am comfortable using this frequently on hardwood oak floors.

I am not sure what the difference is either, but they are priced the same on Hoover's website. I'm using the Pet Plus because I have dogs, but I got a small bottle of the professional with my machine, and can't tell much difference between the two. Hoover also markets a 2X Plus Professional, which claims to be twice as strong,but is cheaper. I'm agreeing with the other poster that it may just be marketing. Sorry, that's probably not much help. I would probably go with the best price, though.

On this model they dropped the price and deleted the tool attachment capability. The Hoover SteamVac PetComplete (F5918900) is an upgrade you will be happy with.Similar to this model w/tools.Also Model F5914900 is the No 1 seller at 138.00. Comes with tools. Check the Hoover website for the availability of an attachment kit.

Hi, my name is Austin. I'm the product manager for hand vacs at Black+Decker. A simple "better" between all these Lithium hand vacs is a tough answer but I'll do my best. The Pivot (BDH2000PL) has the strongest suction and packs down the smallest for storage. If you're just looking for huge power in a convenient storage size this is the one you want. The Flex With Floor Head (BDH2020FLFH and BDH1620FLFH) are the most versatile and have the longest run time. The 4 foot hose, accessories, and floor head make these perfect for floor to ceiling cleaning, picking up messes under the table, cleaning stairs, detail cleaning the car, etc. The pet hair attachment on the 20V, and soon to be available separately (BDH200FVPH), works great for pet hair as well as carpeted stairs, car upholstery etc. The more traditional hand vacs (BDH2000L, CHV1410L) have the longest crevice tools and largest capacity. The extra reach is great for getting cobwebs, bugs, and under and between appliances. All of these units have the strong suction and fade free power that comes with Lithium ion battery technology..

I've had 2 Ergorapidos, The first one the battery died after 1 1/2 yr, not replaceable so throw away. The second one the brush broke and it no longer suctions, but I can still use the hand vac. I bought a wired hoover, it has strong suction but I keep getting tripped up with the cord. I'm now looking to buy the cordless linx. I love th ergo when its new but do not recommend as it needs to be replaced too often.

F5914-500 is the model Hoover Steam Vac that I have, maybe the older one? I bought this attachment to use on my tile floors with the Hoover. It was a complete waste of money. There was not a firm suction so the water just pooled and was not being efficiently sucked up into the attachment. Instead, I did some amazon research and purchased the Eureka Enviro-steam floor cleaner and I LOVE IT, it has resulted in my cleaning my floors much more often and very worth the affordable expense.

I do not have a Steam Jet II, but I do have an EZ1 and an EZ1 XL, They are both excellent. The EZ1 has a higher wattage which I assume would make hotter steam, but the XL works perfectly as well and has a wider head, which I prefer when I am cleaning large areas like the kitchen or family room. I would say they are comparable but it depends on the size of the area you are trying to clean.

Good question! The first difference is the Flair costs three times more. It looks and reads the same. I replaced an old Hoover stick which cost little so I was looking for the lower priced Hoover, I have a larger more powerful Hoover for my carpeted areas. Sorry that I cannot help more, if I was you I would ask one who bought the Flair. Maybe you did. Good luck!

No, they are one in the same. I know it's expensive but we love this thing, everyday we find more uses for it. The DC44 has a high-low suction button. On low we get more time from the battery and have found that the low setting works for almost everything. If we happen to find the low suction not doing the job we will switch over to high and when done go back to low. Today, I did a wall to wall, ceiling to floor cleaning of one of our bathrooms. We have 10 foot ceilings and with the wand I could do everything. Did I say we Love this thing!

I did not compare to the model you are asking about. I recommend going to the Best Buy website and using their compare feature to see what the difference is. Could be motor size? Weight? Width of sweeper? Type of roller. The Nimble has a self-cleaning feature on the roller that is lovely. Good luck!

I am currently not using anything that didn't come with it. I did not mention one in my review "Gets everything out of the carpet. The cord winder is nice. Easy to maintain. Easy to use. Had it for a while now and still going strong!". That being said I'd use Hoover Extra Long WindTunnel Hose

Hi Larena. I don't know about the other steam cleaner that is on Amazon. You might ask someone who bought it what they thought about it. I can only tell you that the Steamfast will not do the job. Good luck in your search. I hope you find something that works for you.

I can't tell you what the differences are as I am not acquainted with those models. However I love the one I have. It has plenty of power and is very user friendly. Switches easily for different cleaning needs. I have no regrets with this vacuum.

I have had both. You can read my reviews; five stars for Bissell and one for Hoover. Not only is the Hoover lower grade plastic, but it also has a computer which malfunctions after a number of uses. Bad design!

Perhaps the difference is the Dyson DC65 Multi Floor has the ability to automatically adjust to floor heights, while the DC65 Animal does not. That is a guess, I am not sure if that is correct. I am not the sales person, but I can say the vacumn I got did a fabulous job of picking up cat and dog hairs!
