Products I wholeheartedly endorse - Page 24

I did a trial-run with my new Hoover SteamVac ("with CleanSurge!") this afternoon. I have a relatively small but nonetheless quite clean patch on my carpet now! This is very exciting, as paying a company to come in and do it is not affordable, especially considering how often it realistically needs to be done around here.

It took a little jiggering with the pieces at one point to regain an airtight seal after I removed the dirty water tank to empty it, but I made it work. I'm extremely happy with it overall.

Oh we totally endorse the Hoover Steam Vacs. They rock.

monster · 10-13-2010, 10:45 PM

...and they wear out if you use them enough. Get an extended three year warranty and take it back at 2y11m. There will be enough wrong with it to get a new one and then you can buy a new 3y warranty for peanuts. Well, we're on our third vac this way.... I guess eventually they'll wise up.....

Clodfobble · 10-13-2010, 10:57 PM

Hmm. Got it off Amazon, no offer of a 3-year-warranty. I'll get the next one at a brick-and-mortar.

monster · 10-13-2010, 11:00 PM

no worries -it does last the three years and is well worth it at the price. We could have easily kept ours going longer if we had to.... but the 3yr warranty was like $30.....

monster · 10-13-2010, 11:01 PM

...and you've witnessed first hand just how filthy our kids are.....

monster · 10-13-2010, 11:02 PM

it's a great choice. Our first steam vac here was a dirt devil like we had in the UK. total failure

All Dirt Devils are failures. Worst. Vaccuums/Cleaners. EVAR.

Me? I've had my Hoover SteamVac for about seven years now. Got a warranty through Sears (didn't need it really; it's always done a great job) and had it serviced for the first time last year. Runs even better than I remembered.

Hoover vacuum cleaners are pretty awesome, as well. Mine is at least 10 years old and still working like a charm.

Dirt Devils we had in the UK were fine.

The Goldilocks tequila. Not too expensive, not too cheap. Plenty shootable.

These are great! Keeps freezer burn away perfectly.

Pico and ME · 01-05-2011, 01:02 PM

I do the same thing with a straw.

Seriously.

skysidhe · 01-05-2011, 01:05 PM

I guess, but I would not want to such the same air as raw meat.

Pico and ME · 01-05-2011, 01:06 PM

I've been doing it for years...no problems.
