The Hoover F7411-900 SteamVac Dual V Widepath carpet cleaner is not a vacuum cleaner but a carpet cleaner that uses water, carpet cleaning fluid and heat.
Carpet cleaners like the Hoover F7411-900 SteamVac are designed to give your flooring a good deep clean with carpet detergent like the Hoover 40321128 Deep Cleansing Carpet 7 Upholstery detergent. They work by applying hot water and detergent to the carpets, and scrubbing the carpets with a rotating brush. Hot air is then forced into the carpet so that the brushes and cleaning solution can do their job efficiently.
The cleaner has a number of features, including:
- 8 foot hose with onboard tools
- removable tool caddy
- powered handheld tool for stairs and upholstery
- 3 speeds of rotation for spill pick-up, gentle scrub and power scrub modes depending on your cleaning requirements.
- 12 amp motor with rotating brushes that clean your carpets – this patented Spin Scrub loosens dirt and cleans carpet fibres thoroughly.
The Hoover Steamvac Dual V Widepath has received a number of reviews on Amazon. With 108 reviewers of this machine, the average rating is between 4 and 5 out of 5, with over 77% of customers awarding it a 5 out of 5.
Things people like about the Hoover SteamVac Dual V carpet cleaner:
- Very easy to use
- clean water rinse gets all of the detergent out of the carpet
- Carpets practically dry when the Hoover Steam Vac finishes its job
- Build quality is excellent
- Several reviewers report that this machine is better than professional carpet cleaners
.. and things they don’t like:
- Slow to clean a carpet, but the results are worth it.


I cannot believe how clean my carpets were after using the Hoover SteamVac. Not only is it now clean, but it smells fresher. I’ve had my carpets cleaned professionally before and this machine cleans just as well. My only complaint is that its quite slow, but relax and enjoy seeing your carpet transform in front of your eyes.
