Videos & independent reviews
Coverage gathered from around the web so you can check our verdict against everyone else’s. We label who published what — manufacturer videos are marketing; independent outlets received nothing from us.
Written reviews elsewhere
“Dryness: This model performed excellent in removing solution from carpet.”
Consumer Reports“We generally do not recommend the PowerScrub XL. It leaves carpet drier than average after cleaning and it can cover a very large area before you need to refill or empty its water tanks, but it’s a terrible performer cleaning tough stains.”
ConsumerAnalysis
Videos are hosted on YouTube and we don’t control their content. “Manufacturer video” is published by Hoover’s own channel; independent reviewers are not affiliated with this site and these links earn us nothing. Review excerpts are quoted verbatim with attribution — quoting is not endorsement.
