Hoover SteamVac Agility Carpet Cleaner Review

If you like to walk around in your bare feet or have an infant or toddler who spends a lot of time on the carpet, I highly recommend the Hoover SteamVac Agility Carpet Cleaner. “But I vacuum regularly,” you say. Sorry, folks. The truth is that you really won’t know just how dirty your carpet has been until you see what the SteamVac Agility is able to extract from your floor.

Already fully assembled, the SteamVac Agility is ready to get to work straight out of the box (once water and detergent have been added, of course). Lightweight and maneuverable with a low-profile hood for those hard to reach areas, this is one Hoover product that makes carpet cleaning a pleasure. The 5 exclusive SpinScrub brushes make full contact with your carpet fibers, gently loosening dirt for easy removal.

A simple switch starts the unique Clean Surge feature in motion, making short work of pet stains and those grungy high-traffic areas. Its side-by-side tanks are easy to fill and keep the clean water completely separate from the dirty water - and when I say dirty, I mean dirty. You will be stunned to see the dingy, murky water that results from your first cleaning with the Agility.

If you’ve ever used a traditional steam cleaner, you know just how cumbersome they can be. Not the Hoover SteamVac Agility, my friend. As easy to handle as a standard vacuum cleaner, the Agility heats the cleaning solutions and carpet by forced air. This assists the cleaning process while maintaining the easy maneuverability folks have come to expect from a Hoover product. This powerful (12 amp, 2 speed) cleaner comes equipped with a removable tool caddy, which houses powered hand tools to aid your cleaning. Need to clean some upholstery, or maybe a spot on the stairs? No problem. Just grab the hand tool with the SpinScrub brushes and make that stain nothing but a distant memory.


The SteamVac Agility has a cool gray and purple exterior and weighs a paltry 13.6 lbs, light enough to move with ease and heavy enough to power out those problem areas. The Agility measures 13 by 23 by 30 inches and comes with Hoover’s standard 1-year warranty.

Call me a clean freak, but I have to recommend the SteamVac Agility and its powerful cleaning technology. After finding out just how filthy carpet can be (even though it looked fine to the naked eye,) I could never allow my kids to be barefoot in the house if it weren’t for Hoover’s magnificent and easy-to-use SteamVac Agility.

Sure, I’ve told you everything good about the Agility, but does it have cons? Everyone’s story is different, but from what I’ve gleaned from blogs and online communities, there’s not really anything to complain about here. I mean, you certainly don’t have to clean your carpets. I guess what little work the SteamVac Agility requires of you could be considered a “con” by the infernally lazy and filthy, but I like to know my tootsies are walking across clean and fresh smelling carpet fibers. Does that make me crazy?

The truth is that you’re never going to know how great this carpet cleaner is until you put it to use in your own home. I can’t win you over with words nor is it my job to try, but I think the Hoover SteamVac Agility Carpet Cleaner will make a believer out of you. It certainly made a believer of me.
