Hoover PowerDash Review 

Hoover Powerdash is a powerful carpet cleaner with a compact and lightweight build. It performs excellently against all forms of carpet stains. The Hoover Powerdash has been excellent since its launch and has been the go-to for shampooing carpets and has made the task easy and effortless. 

It is so effortless that any family member can carry out the cleaning process without any issues.

Some of the reasons why it is so good are because of its light weightlessness. It has very few functionalities, making it easier to handle more of the machine’s focus is on the improved suction power and cleaning efficiency. 

It is also not expensive as it goes for less than $100, which is pretty cheap for a device of its caliber and functions. It is the ideal cleaner for all kinds of carpets, and it comes at a pocket-friendly price.

Let’s take a closer look at its specifications:

  • Cleaning power: 

The Hoover Powerdash has a motor power of 7 amps and an input power of 840 watts. This makes a huge powerhouse given that most of its power goes into the suction system of creating airflow and rotating the beater brushes. 

It doesn’t have a hose or any other attachments that means the suction power will always be at its optimum level at all times. The powered brush helps to clean the debris from the carpet fibers no matter the deep it is. The beater brush’s bristles extend out to allow you to use the machine on high pile carpets and still get excellent results.

  • Filtration system: 

it is advisable to only use the Hoover Powerdash on carpets that have already been vacuumed. But in most cases, there is still some debris left on the carpet, which enters into the motor once the suction starts.  

However, there is a filtration system in the Hoover Powerdash that helps filter these particles. The filtration unit is located just below the dirty water tank. You would need to regularly clean the filtration unit to avoid reducing the machine’s cleaning efficiency.

  • Dust capacity: 

Hoover Powerdash has a 0.5-gallon dirty water tank. The dirt dissolves in as the carpets are being cleaned. Usually, even if you should vacuum the area before cleaning, there will always be dirt left on the carpet. 

The dirty water tank is designed to trap the dirt, although there might be reservations that this unit might not be adequate, especially when cleaning large areas. 

The good news is you can remove, empty, and refill the 0.5 gallons dirt water tank in a minute or two. So, this might not be an issue as your cleaning activity is not so affected by the size of the dirty water tank.

  1.       The weight and the length dimension:

The weight and dimension help make the Hoover Powerdash easy to store and very easy to handle in all the house areas. But the only downside with the dimensions is that it allowed only for a small nozzle that is 10″ wide. 

It is narrow and should take longer when cleaning, but as we have it, the Hoover Powerdash has good cleaning efficiency, making the cleaning sessions short as it cleans faster even with its narrow nozzle.

  • Heated cleaning:  

The Hoover Powerdash also features a heater cleaning feature that improves the device’s ability to remove dirt, especially tough stains. The dirt and stains on the carpet dissolve quickly with hot water. At the same time, heated cleaning also helps kill bacteria and mold growths on the carpet, making it more hygenic.
