Hoover Gladiator Powerscrub Deluxe Carpet Shampooer Questions & Answers

It depends for old stains and smells its the stain smell removing product that you use but for new ones yes for sure i have two kittens right now and mine has been working over time not a smell or spot left

Thank you!

No! Any machine you do not clean out, clean off brushes or clean out fluid tanks will have the same problem ! Never seen or had rust anywhere on my Hoover ! Includes mobile stairs car ckeaning kit as well . Suggest the negative feedback is owner / operator laziness and lack of maintenace tbe problem! Had mine and the matching shampoo machine 2 years now, is still like new ! Says in the manual to clean it out thoroughly after every use! Easy to do ! Better tham tigers I gave had too! Vac is 10 times better than my Dyson I had to maintain operate and ckean out ! Shsmpoo mavhine as good as commercial one ! Lifts the carpet off the underlay and washes that as well ! Hunting fishing household with many pets! No problems !

These hoovers are grade 3+ plus machines ! Means the higher the rated number the better the machines are ! Ask before buying any machine ! Also check out has replacement filters back up parts available and good warranty ! Pay peanuts you get monkey machines !

Thanks Max ! Although I'm not sure what a 3+ plus machine is (no hits even on the Google) !!! Anyways, does make sense the machine should last if cared for properly! But in the end decided on a more reasonably price multi-purpose cleaner !!! Even assuming this machine is fine if well treated, for me the deal breaker was that the Godfrey's price is just ridiculous compared to the same level Hoovers on Amazon USA !!! Darn it, I've gone and typed too many of these exclamation mark things!

Any Godfreys store in NZ . Can trade in old vac on the deal too!
Get a container of shampoo thrown in the deal as well !
Cheers!

As far as I can see the brand name "Hoover" is really just a Godfreys only thing in Australia. 500 on their current special (which I think are frequent). Looking myself, which is why I posted the question about rusty heads

Yes you can i just cleaned my lazy boy recliner with it myself

How would i lift it up on the lounge though? Cause it does not come with a upholsery attachment? Thanks so much for you reply

Stacey, get the attachment kit . It has everything you need to shampoo clean everything ! Does your car seats chairs curtains caroeted steps etc.
strange your machine does not come with the Kit??!!!! Mine did!

As fair as i know that price was on oz bargan in 2015, myself I payed about $800 and i didn't see them any cheaper at that time

Kathryn, no such special deals here in NZ! I payed $640 for mine in a package deal with a vac same brand ! To get such a good product fir that price is a real bargain ! The design makes it easy to service the fluids and wash out the collection container quickly and easily ! Pay the money ! You will never regret it! Cheers Global Grandad NZ .

Appreciate you taking the time to answer - thanks, off to buy one!

Not sure you can as it says it will scratch the floor and its not recommended .I haven't tried that myself

Many thanks, I will keep researching for an alternative.

Yes it has an excellent range of upholstery brushes included with it.

Hi.

Yes I bought from Godfreys. It was in a bundle with a vacuum too but I think the price was around $600. So happy I bought it!

Mine also was purchased from Godfreys at around $600. They are considerable cheaper than that now $278. I do notice that some are available through Gumtree from time to time. If you do purchase one - just a word of advice in relation to cleaning the carpet (this advice is from a professional) rather than using the auto shampoo mixture on the machine I am told it is best to make up a mixture of water and carpet shampoo in a sprayer ( 5 -7 litre.) and spray the carpet first and then simply using the wash action - wash the carpet. I use Agar Carpet Shampoo (5 litre.) which I purchase from Godfreys. It is definitely a cheaper option than buying in smaller quantities. Hope this helps.
