This Pedometer is the 3rd or 4th I’ve owned and is easy to operate and read the display. It fits comfortable into my pants pocket or may be carried in my purse to count steps. One negative note is that is doesn’t count steps taken on a “stroll” like with my nearly 80 year old mother.

Our carpet had been neglected for a while. We always rented a Rug Doctor and it was becoming quite a hassle to pick it up and return it. Lifting it in and out of our car’s trunk was another hassle we wanted to do away with. I purchased the Hoover F5914-900 after reading the reviews. It was easy to assemble.

This steam cleaner is much smaller & lighter than the Rug Doctor we are used to using, making it easier to push & maneuver around. However, because of the smaller size, we emptied and filled the upper and lower tanks, eight times while cleaning our 12′x 26′ carpet. The clean solution tank holds one gallon of water (one reason for the light weight). The instructions say to fill it with hot tap water and the detergent which is easily measured using the tank’s cap as a measuring cup. The unit itself cleans about a 11-11.5″ wide area and doesn’t clean close enough to the woodwork to suit me. So, I used the stair/upholstery nozzle to clean next to the woodwork and other tight areas. That tool did a good job for us. Hooking it up was a bit confusing and my hubby was worried that he was going to break the clear, recovery tank front panel. It pulls down a little hard, just don’t force it. There is also a powered hand tool that has rotating brushes included with this steam vac. I didn’t feel the need to try out this unit’s Clean Surge feature because I had already pre-treated the bad areas.

Vacuum your carpeting before steam cleaning otherwise you’ll end up clogging the steam cleaner. I pretreated the heavy traffic areas with my Bissell 0801 Oxy GEN2 Multi Purpose Oxygen Boost -32oz which I applied liberally to the carpet and waited 10 minutes before steam cleaning. For stubborn areas, I pre-treat, steam clean, let dry, pre-treat again, steam clean, let dry, then rinse. For normal cleaning, I pre-treat, steam clean, let dry, then rinse. I’m happy with the results. The heavy traffic areas are now the same color as the rest of my carpet. This time I around I used Hoover 4
