Spring Cleaning - Hoover MaxExtract 60 Pressure Pro Carpet Cleaner Review + Giveaway

We built this house about 5 years ago before we had any kids. We ignorantly chose a beige colored carpet for our living room and bedrooms. Two kids and a million sippy cup leaks later, our carpet has seen better days. We used my mom's old carpet cleaner pretty often, but some of the stains wouldn't budge. I was asked to be part of the Hoover Insiders group, and even though I had to turn it down, they still allowed me to put the Hoover MaxExtract 60 Pressure Pro Carpet Cleaner up against our stubborn stains.

This easy-to-use machine removes water, dirt and grime with pressurized cleaning, and has heated drying for a fast dry time.

Features a double chamber nozzle to power wash surfaces with even suction across a wide path, while the automatic detergent system provides the right ratio of detergent and water for the best cleaning results.

Patented Hoover® SpinScrub® brushes gently loosen dirt and clean all sides of carpet and upholstery fibers, with an adjustable speed control for various floor surfaces, including a Spill Pick-Up mode so you don't scrub in spills. 

Features:
- MaxExtract® DualV® Nozzle Technology – we’re pulling up a lot of dirty water so your floors dry fast and you’ll be back to living on those deep-cleaned floors quickly.
- Pressurized Edge-to-Edge Cleaning – a wall of pressurized water that loosens and lifts stubborn stains with constant and relentless spray.
- SpinScrub® 60 – 60 counter-rotating brushes engineered to surround carpet fibers, removing dirt at every angle. It’s like treating your carpet to a deep, massaging salon shampoo treatment.
- Heated Cleaning – powerful motor with forced heated air to help speed dry time.
- Auto Conversion Tools – conveniently positioned where they should be – right at your fingertips.
- SmartTanks™ System – separate tanks for clean and dirty water, so you can easily fill, empty and rinse each tank individually.

Includes:
- 16 oz Bottle of 2X Professional Strength® Carpet & Upholstery Detergent
- 9′ Clear Hose
- Upholstery Tool

I want to start off by saying I'm totally embarrassed to show this next picture.  The kids had spilled something here and I knew the MaxExtract60 was on its way, so I left it to show a before and after.  We had a bottle of regular strength hoover cleaner on hand already, but used the bottle of Professional Strength cleaner since the spill was so bad.  I can't sing enough praises about the Professional Strength-I swear that stuff would get any stain off of any carpet!!  I went to the store to stock up, but didn't see any, so I guess I'll have to get it online.

Here is the MaxExtract60 in action. My husband and I were immediately in awe. This cleaned 10 times better than the older model that my parents own. It seriously cleaned every single stain that we had and no stains "reappeared" the next day!

This is a large section of my living room. This is the room that we're in most of the day and the poor carpet has suffered many stains. Those stains were no match for the Hoover MaxExtract60 Carpet Cleaner!! Look how clean this is - no stains whatsoever!

We were so excited that we decided to do other rooms too and quickly ran out of the Professional Strength Cleaner. The cleaner did well with the regular strength, but the Professional Strength is the ticket! We're actually in the process of trying to sell our house and one of the biggest things I was worried about was the carpets. The Hoover MaxExtract60 actually has heated cleaning so that it drys faster. We turned on the fans and the carpet was completely dry within a few hours. This Carpet Cleaner is going to help me keep my beige carpets looking brand new while having our house up for sale.

We also have carpet going up our stairs.  We cleaned at night so I couldn't get a great picture, but it did wonderfully.  The MaxExtract60 is just so easy to use and cleans even hard to reach areas.

If you have any carpet in your house, I strongly suggest trying out the Hoover MaxExtract60 Carpet Cleaner and Professional Strength Detergent. There is even an instruction video to learn how to use it. Visit Hoover to learn more and to view their other products.
