About This Vacuum
Meet the Hoover SmartWash Automatic Carpet Cleaner—a full-size upright designed to deep-clean carpets without the usual complexity of traditional carpet cleaners. The automatic cleaning technology removes guesswork through motion-sensing design: push forward to wash with auto-mixed solution, pull back to dry with powerful extraction. No triggers, no buttons, no measuring detergent ratios. The FlexForce PowerBrushes tackle embedded dirt and pet messes while remaining gentle on carpet fibers. HeatForce technology accelerates drying time, getting your floors back in service faster. At 18.5 pounds, it's substantial enough for stability during cleaning but manageable for most users to maneuver around furniture and up stairs when needed. This cleaner fits households with wall-to-wall carpeting, pet owners dealing with accidents and odors, and families who want professional-style results without the learning curve. The trade-off for automatic operation is less control over solution concentration and cleaning intensity—this is designed for regular maintenance rather than extreme stain removal. If your cleaning style favors "set it and forget it" over manual adjustments, the SmartWash delivers thorough results with minimal technique required.
