I have a Hoover Steam Vac. I love it! I had problems with soil coming to the top of the carpet as it dried. It left horrible spots. My parents got the Hoover Steam Vac and were really impressed with it. So, I thought I would get one. Glad I did. Does a great job, doesn't soak the carpet, and dries quickly. We have two dogs and a cat that are in and out all the time. So I use the cleaner about every other month. Paid around $136.00 from Walmart.
