Hoover MaxExtract 60 PressurePro Carpet Deep Cleaner
We call it the MaxExtract DualV. You’ll call it the best money you’ve ever spent.
The MaxExtract deep cleaners are capable of deep cleaning and freshening a variety of surfaces, carpeted or hard floor, and even upholstery.
Here’s what makes this Hoover so remarkable.
- Cleaning coupled with convenience: Life comes as you fast so you shouldn’t be slowed down trying to clean your house. This Hoover’s MaxExtract DualV Nozzle Technology suction power leaves less water on the floor for quicker drying times. The SmartTank™ System separates the clean water from the dirty water – clean water is stored in one tank and the dirty water in the other so you can clean, fill, or empty whenever you’d like.
- Five dozen brushes do your dirty work: No need to get down on your hands and knees, Hoover’s Spinscrub Technology with 60 counter rotating brushes removes dirt at every angle of your hard floor or individual carpet fibers.
- Stains removal made simple: Think of it as a tidal wave of stain-removing power! Pressurized edge-to-edge cleaning creates a wall of pressurized water loosens and lifts stubborn stains with a constant and relentless spray that’s removed from your carpet and followed by forced heated air that speeds up drying times.
- What’s in the box?: Of course you get the cleaner and the directions but you’ll also find a 16-ounce bottle of 2X CleanPlus™ Carpet Cleaner & Deodorizer, a nine-foot Clear Active Hose, and Upholstery Tool.

Hoover MaxExtract 60 PressurePro Carpet Deep Cleaner, FH50220 After adopting two basset hounds, I decided to invest in a carpet cleaner of some sort. I spent a couple of days reviewing products in the […] range. I spent a good bit of time at Target, Walmart, Lowes and Home Depot literally taking various floor models apart and putting them back together to inspect their quality and ease of use.I learned that more people were satisfied with Hoover products than Bissell. I could see how the little spinning brushes on Hoover products should clean more thoroughly than Bissell’s one long beater brush. Reviews seem to bear this out, but it’s close! I narrowed my choices down to the Hoover All Terrain Steam Vac or the Bissell ProHeat 2X Home . The Bissell appeared a better built product, but I didn’t really like the bar brush or the odd bladder style tank-in-a-tank.That’s when I just happened to stop by a Target store and found this machine, . It has the little brushes I like and the quality is FAR SUPERIOR to the Hoovers in the “Steam Vac” series. (I just can’t believe how flimsy they are.) The Hoover Max Extract is a much more solid machine than any of the Bissells I looked at.I used it for the first time today and cleaned the entire house. Very nice! I would have to say that the Hoover Max Extract 60 does every bit of a good job as any professional cleaning I’ve had. Matter of fact, it did a better job than the last professional as he seemed in a hurry. The carpets took about 2 hours to dry. The real surprise comes when you vacuum the carpet after it has dried. Wow, my eight year old, dog worn carpet looks new again!For the record, I used about 64 oz.of Hoover Pet detergent over about 1500 sq. ft. of carpet. The trick, it seems, is to go slow and make sure all of the dirty water is sucked up. It did a great job of the water extraction. The worst areas (where the dogs lie) I simply used a little extra spray and let the little brushes do the work.Cleaning the machine is fairly easy and straight forward. It took me about 30 minutes to clean the machine and get it ready for next time. The only problem I had with it (reason for 4 stars, not 5) was that the brushes did not spin the very first time I used them. I simply reached down and loosened them up by popping them out as if to clean them. They worked flawlessly after that!I am very pleased with the quality and sturdiness of the Max Extract 60 and thrilled with the way it cleaned my carpets. I would highly recommend it to a friend.
I vacuum! Honest! Two days ago, I acquired this Hoover MaxExtract 60 carpet cleaner. I purchased it with some degree of skepticism, since my experience with shampooers has been…shall we say…less than ideal. Too many experiences with shoddy construction, poor suction, messy dirty-water tanksand brief lifespan. The last time I’d used a home model was about ten years ago, and when it died, I swore off buying dodgy plastic consumer rubbish ever again!A couple of weeks ago, I realized that the last time I’d cleaned my carpet was the 4th of July 2009, the weekend I proudly moved in to my new (to me!) home! I marched into the grocery store, rented one of the big red carpet cleaners, and spent a busy day industriously shampooing all of my new carpets. I returned the machine the next day, satisfied at my shampoo job, and started moving in.Since that day, I’ve made any excuse to avoid going and renting the blasted thing again. Too many time constraints! I don’t have a free day to do it all! It’s just throwing money down the hole! It’s all very easy to talk yourself out of getting up off of the sofa and doing something that requires effort, until something forces your hand. In my case, the tipping point was dog puke!My housemate and I have a dog with a very sensitive stomach. Last week, she got into something that didn’t at all agree with her, and sold her Buick all over my living room carpet. As my luck goes, she didn’t hold still, but sauntered around, and left a lovely trail of evil-smelling puddles of sick and grass to deal with. Once it was discovered, my housemate attempted to clean it up by hand, but her efforts were rewarded with a stronger smell, and a wet carpet. I decided then and there that it was time to rent a big red machine, or leave my prejudices behind, and look at the consumer units again.I started researching, looking at amazon reviews and youtube videos for everything from little spot cleaners all the way up to the enormous commercial machines. I found that this MaxExtract 60 was about the “sweet spot” — the point a level or two above the awful to operate “cheap and cheerful” machines, and a level below where the law of diminishing returns kicks in. Pre-purchase, I was attracted by the twin tank design, the automatic mixing of detergent and water, the rinse option, the automatic switch to hand tool mode, and the pour spout on the dirty water tank. I was skeptical about the dual V nozzle, the pressurized shampoo sprays, and the hot air blast, but I figured I’d give it a chance.I discovered a couple of nearby retailers had this model on display, so I went and had a look at it. I was impressed by how far you can disassemble this machine for cleaning without tools. Both tanks are (obviously) removable, as is the front vacuum nozzle, brush bar, and even the spray bar, all without any tools. In addition to the pour spout, the dirty water tank is equipped with a latch that allows the entire top to pop off for easy cleaning. I was quite thoroughly impressed by this attention to detail, given my last experience with an impossible-to-clean unit I had, that just wound up smelling absolutely awful after a couple of uses.I decided that in light of these new features, i’d give the machine a try. I purchased it from another retailer, on the spot (Hey, Instant Gratification!) and took it home with me.Assembly was dead easy, remove a screw from the top of the machine (it has a card attached to it tell you what to do,) press the handle into place, and then replace the screw. From there, all you have to do is wrap the hose, and the cord, and your machine is ready to go! I was rather shocked at this ease of assembly, that I read through the entire manual twice to make sure that I hadn’t missed any steps. Satisfied that I hadn’t, I filled the detergent tank to the “concentrate” line with the included Hoover detergent, and then topped the detergent tank with water, and completely filled the regular water tank. I quickly moved the furniture out of the way, vacuumed the floor, and let fly with this brand new Hoover Suck-o-Luxe!The Hoover MaxExtract 60 disgusted me.Completely and utterly. I can’t even begin to fathom how horrified I was.Made me wish I’d never bought it.So, now, you’re probably thinking, “WHY DID THE DOOFUS RATE IT FIVE STARS THEN?” — well, I’ll clarify. I wasn’t dissatisfied with the cleaner itself. Not at all! The Hoover MaxExtract 60 exceeded my expectations, performing admirably. What horrified me was the chocolate milkshake I poured out of my first tank of dirty water!I like to think I’m a clean person. I vacuum weekly with a fairly high quality vacuum, I dust regularly, and generally keep things shipshape and bristol fashion. After that first tank of dirt, I disassembled the machine, taking out all of the user serviceable parts to make sure…
Fantastic Carpet Cleaner I purchased this carpet cleaner at Target after reading many on-line reviews of many different carpet cleaners. I gathered from all the reviews that carpet cleaners in general seemed to break after a few years if not a few months. I got the impression, however, that Hoover carpet cleaners seemed to be less problematic in general than Bissell carpet cleaners.I therefore strongly advised that my wife purchase a Hoover carpet cleaner rather than a Bissell carpet cleaner, even though she much preferred the style/design of the Bissells (Hoover could take some pointers from Bissell in the styling area).I advised the purchase of another Hoover carpet cleaner, but it was not in the store and I liked the description of the features on this one, even though there were zero reviews on this particular model at the time we purchased it. We went ahead and purchased this MaxExtract 60 carpet cleaner.We have since used the carpet cleaner about 8 times in the 3 months since we purchased it. We have not had our carpets cleaned professionally or otherwise since we purchased our home new 8 years ago. We have 3 kids though no pets. The entire path from our entryway to our kitchen was fairly dark from heavy traffic, even though we make a habit of taking our shoes off. After just a few passes with the carpet cleaner, you could see a significant difference. After a few more passes, the heavy traffic area looked like new from a color perspective though there was some carpet fiber wear and matting that no cleaner will remove. We proceeded to clean the rest of the carpets with less drastic results but overall the carpet looked brand-new again.We have used the carpet cleaner since the original cleaning multiple times to clean-up from kid messes, including multiple #1 and #2 messes from a potty training child (he’s just like an untrained dog, though this one knows how to take his diaper off). On some of the #2 messes we had to use the hand-held attachment (this model does not have a spinning brush on the hand-held attachment; I think the 77 brush model might have the spinning brush feature) and this worked very well.We have even cleaned up sun-lotion from our trouble-maker son, which we have historically seen long-term staining from; no stains with this carpet cleaner. I’m not seeing a big need for the spinning brush attachment and the 60 brushes that are available seem to work fine; not sure how much better 77 brushes would work but it may not be worth the extra $$I concur with other reviewers that the carpets are dry in about 2 hours. The carpets are only damp after the cleaning; they are not soaked at all.The size of the clean and waste water containers seems like a good compromise between cleaning time and effort to push the cleaner. You can run through a round of water pretty quickly (3 rounds for a deep cleaning of a 10X10 room), though the separate soap dispenser seems to last 2-3 water rounds. The size seems pretty good relative to Bissell cleaners and other older Hoover cleanersCleaning the cleaner is fairly straight-forward; just pop everything off and rinse it off. In some spots you may need to use a pointed utensil to remove clumps of hair and carpet fibers. You also may need to run your finger along the two metal screen filters to remove any collected carpet fibers and hair. I did not go to the level of removing each individual brush and cleaning it; just ran it under some water and spun the brushes using the male motor attachment; this seemed to work adequately and pooled any hair and carpet fibers in one spot so I could remove it.I have not seen any issues with dripping or pooling water as I’ve read with some Bissell cleaners. There is a little dripping when removing the clean and waste water receptacles and I clean the cleaner on linoleum instead of carpet but have not seen any significant issues.The length of the manual attachment hose is sufficient to allow me to clean stairs all the way up to the first stair landing before I need to carry the entire cleaner up the stairs. This is a lot better than a vacuum we have where the vacuum needs to be carried up each individual stair.I’m a little worried about how thin the gasket is between the lower and upper parts of the waste water receptacle. Given that the water level does not reach this gasket line before the motor makes the high pitched sound indicating that the water needs to be emptied, however, it hopefully won’t be an issue.The handle on the waste receptacle is touted as a means for carrying the carpet cleaner. I only use this handle to carry the waste receptacle itself; it appears to be a piece added on top of the waste receptacle and I’d be worried it would crack if carrying the entire weight of the carpet cleaner. I use the main handle and put one hand under the bottom of the carpet cleaner to…
