Description

Max Extract 77 Multi-Surface Pro Hard Floor Deep Upright Carpet Cleaner - Product information

This MaxExtract deep cleaner is designed to clean a variety of surfaces from carpets to couches and sealed wood floors to tiled floors. This versatile, 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.

  • MaxExtract Dual V 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 77 - 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
  • SpinScrub setting options - sets your cleaning system by surface: spill pickup mode is suction only, without brush agitation action; gentle scrub mode rotates brushes at slower speed for ceramic tile, linoleum and sealed hardwood floors; power scrub mode maximizes scrubbing action for cleaning carpet and high-traffic areas
  • 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
  • AutoRinse - sets cleaner to wash with detergent on forward stroke, then automatically rinses with fresh water on the backwards stroke
  • CleanSurge - fingertip control applies extra detergent to stains and heavy traffic areas
  • Smart tanks system - separate tanks for clean and dirty water, so you can easily fill, empty and rinse each tank individually
  • Includes: 32 oz. bottle of 2X professional strength carpet and upholstery detergent, 16 oz. bottle of hard floor detergent, 9 ft. clear active hose, SpinScrub hand tool, upholstery tool, squeegee tool

Elegant design for effective cleaning
I wore out my older Dual Path V carpet washer using it to clean my rental real estate for many years. I had thought it was an excellent carpet and hard floor washer. This newer design is significantly better, even wonderful! About 10# lighter, quieter, easier to empty without spilling (unlike the former unit), and cleans even better. Even the hand power tool cleaned better than the former design. I'm hoping for many years of service as I had with the previous unit. There is a slight leak of water or detergent from the supply container, but the retention design minimizes leaking outside the unit and there seems to be no great loss of liquid anyway. Just examining the dirty water tank I wonder about how the engineers came up with such an elegant design. Not exaggerating, every aspect of this design seems to be improved. I am now buying a second unit for my house in Arizona, as nothing cleans as well as this washer/shampooer when our cat has an accident. Kudos to Hoover for this design.

How a company should be evaluated
Lets be honest. The best and worst products have one thing in common; something always goes wrong. As with any relationship, once something goes wrong you then find out if they are worth it. Many companies these days forget that the customer themselves is worth more to them than wining an argument. I purchased a Hoover Carpet Cleaner several years ago and it broke down, got fixed, broke down, got replaced with the same model, broke down, got fixed, broke down, and then they needed to replace it. Well, they didn't make that model anymore. So, with out any hassle, they let me pick from the "like kind or price wise the same." I was concerned until I just used it. I am using the model number FH50240. What a machine. I am married with children and pets, this one was made for the family. And I will report that it sucks. Yes, it sucks so well, 20 minutes later I could walk on the carpet in my socks. Folks, I am giving them 5 stars for standing behind the product and for no making my life more miserable.

If I could give the Max Extract 77 zero stars I would. It is one of the worst products I have eve...
If I could give the Max Extract 77 zero stars I would. It is one of the worst products I have ever purchased. First, the hard-surface squeegee does not securely attach to the nozzle. There is nothing to hold it in place. It just falls off. Second, the Max Extract 77 uses an outrages amount of cleaning solution. Other hard-surface scrubbers I've used will clean a large kitchen floor using a couple of ounces of concentrate. The Max Extract 77 used more than twice as much concentrate to clean 1/3 the area. I called Hoover customer support. The person I talked to was no help. He just kept emphasizing the squeegee is supposed to snap in place. I explained... there is nothing for it to snap onto or into. He had no explanation and didn't seem concerned that I would be returning the Max Extract 77 ASAP. Fortunately, Home Depot graciously processed the return.

This carpet washer does its job well.
I purchased this carpet washer in 2013 and it is still working superbly. The weather has been hot, so time to clean carpets. We have silver carpets and this machine makes a big difference. I have found it very easy to use and simple to disassemble and rinse afterwards. Although I find this washer simple and effective to use, I can see how it may not be idiot proof, hence all of the negative reviews. There are many parts and you must read the instructions. It is also important to rinse off the parts thoroughly and let them dry completely before reassembling after use. And please, the whole thing is plastic so be reasonable careful with this very nice machine. It will last a long time if you treat it with care and respect. Mine will be ready again for another round of cleaning in a few months. What a great machine!

Disappointed
I bought this Hoover on October 8, 2013 and have been extremely disappointed in it. It cleaned wonderfully the first time I used it, but the next time I tried to use it, neither the solution nor the water would spray out. I had an older Hoover Scrubber that I used for 15 years and was excited that the new product would be such an improvement over the olders model. I was wrong. Now I am stuck with a $300 scrubber that I cannot use and cannot afford at this point to buy another one. I cannot in all good conscious recommend this model to anyone. I am past the limit that the store would permit me to return it and I am not shipping it anywhere. Guess it will just sit under my stairway and collect dust rather than steam clean my floors. Sorry, but I am extremely disappointed. Plus I do not like the dual tank, but I could live with it, if it just worked. PS: I also have the leakage out of the back of the machine just like everyone else has.

Horrible X 2
Purchased a new Max Extract 77, 2 months ago. Loved it for it's deep cleaning then after about 5 uses the solution holding tank would begin to leak. No where in the user manual does it say you cannot store the unit with cleaning solution in it. Does not make sense and the unit is not made to pour out the solution from the holding tank. Returned the unit to the store and they happily replaced it with my 2nd unit and it did the same thing after the first use. "Hoover" cleaning solution poured out all over my floor from the holding tank. Called customer service and they said it must be the valve so they sent me another tank. Got the tank 2 weeks ago and it is the wrong one.....my unit only has one valve and this one had two. Just simply frustrated. Took this back and got a refund. I really like the cleaning power of the Max Extract but it has serious leaking tank issues that need to be redesigned. Wish Hoover made a different cleaner that did both carpet and hard surfaces.

Very Frustrated!
I have purchased only Hoover vacuum and steam cleaners over the last forty years.
I have always been more than pleased with each purchase I have made until now. I bought my eighty year old Mom a Max Extract 77 carpet cleaner just under six months ago, so I would not have to continue to take mine to her home. I have used this carpet cleaner once, and am here for a visit and decided to clean her carpets. It made it through half of a very small bedroom before it quit! I unplugged it thinking maybe it overheated. When I came back and turned it on and all it would do is make a clicking noise once I pressed the red on button. I have just returned from Walmart where I purchased the Hoover carpet cleaner and they told me they would only replace it if it was purchased in the last 90 days and that I would need to take it to a Hoover Service Center for repairs. I do not want a repaired carpet cleaner. I want this one replaced, it is obviously defective and I did not pay over two hundred dollars for a defective carpet cleaner.

2nd unit and having the same problem
I bout this unit last year at Sears, including a replacement warranty with them. When the unit stopped working several months ago, I took it back to Sears for a replacement. I have used the new one just a hand full of times since I got it probably 3 weeks ago. Today, I am cleaning my carpets, working fine for the first two tanks, and then just now it is releasing all of the detergent at one time and no clean water. I have read several other reviews where this is happening to other people as well. To me this is quite ridiculous and aggravating that after having gotten this type of feedback over and over something would have been to resolve this issue from happening again. It's very frustrating to buy a product ( a fairly expensive one at that) and it not work after only a handful of uses, not to mention that even a BRAND NEW ONE OUT OF THE BOX, did the same thing. I am a long time Hoover product user and this just puts a bad taste in my mouth, probably preventing me from ever purchasing another product in the future.
