Comparable price ($140 at retailer)
Easy to assemble
Easy to clean

No leaks (a few drips)
No unnecessary bells & whistle
Powerful suction
Simple design (easy filling and emptying)
Suction stops when recovery tank fills-up
Three wet strokes and one dry stroke is sufficient

Hoover SteamVac CONS:
Bulky
Can’t center on spots
Heavy

I did not use the attachments so I can't comment
Loud

The “clean surge” feature is unimpressive
Unattractive but functional
