The Hoover Steam Vac with clean surge is a vacuum cleaner with a difference. Imagine being able to steam clean your own carpets, upholstery and bare floor boards?
Features of the Hoover SteamVac include:
- 12 amp motor
- Deep cleaning using hot tap water and carpet solution.
- 5 spinning brushes to lift the dirt and clean the carpets, upholstery and even bare floor boards.
- Two water tanks used to keep the dirty water separate from the clean water.
- Clean Surge will give you an extra burst of cleaning solution when the carpet or unholstery is particularly dirty or stained.
- Brush rotation indicator so that you know when the brushes are rotating.
- 8 foot hose useful for cleaning stairs and upholstery with the stair/upholstery nozzle.
There is a convenient trigger on the handle of the SteamVac that releases the cleaning fluid. Once you have finished cleaning your carpets, you release the trigger and the Hoover SteamVac pushes hot air.
