From the manufacturer
Is the Power Scrub safe for use on all carpets and rugs?
The Power Scrub is safe to use on most rug types including Nylon, Polyolefin, Polyester, Acrylic (composition of many small area and throw rugs). Always check manufacturer’s label before cleaning for any specific instructions

If you hear a high-pitched whirring sound, this indicates that your dirty water tank is full and needs to be emptied

The machine is easy to use. Vacuum the area well to pick up loose dirt and hair. You fill the solution reservoir with your cleaner (we went with the Hoover pet expert) and the other side with hot tap water. One tank did my entire bottom floor, and 2 did my stairs and top floor (my house is about 2500 sq ft, all carpeted in medium pile except kitchen and foyer). There are wash and rinse cycles (just rotate the dial to go between them). I found it best to go over heavily soiled areas and then move on to other areas, letting the solution work a bit, then go back and SLOWLY pull the cleaner over the area repeatedly. It got up red wine, an old coffee stain (don't judge me), and the general dog detritus and associated smell. The house smells really clean after use, but not heavily perfumed.
Cons: difficult to use on my stairs because it's too big to rest on a stair, and the hose attachment isn't long enough to reach without moving the machine to the landing. I brought it down on my head a couple of times. It's awkward, but doable, to get stairs clean. It would be nice if it was adjustable to pile, because I have some high-pile area rugs that are hard to clean with this; it takes some muscle.
Pros: great price, easy to find solution that works with it, doesn't get dog hair wrapped around the cleaning parts, does a great job cleaning pet messes, even old urine stains from when your rescue dog at first didn't get that the fuzzy rug isn't grass. Easy to whip out and use when something is spilled; I sometimes just use the suction and rinse when something spills and I can attend to it right away.
I did try an "off brand" of cleaner, and while I'm all for store brands, I had much better results with the Hoover brand cleaner. I'd recommend sticking to it for pets.
If you have pets that aren't perfect in their manners, and you're thinking you need this, buy it. It works great, is reasonably priced, and is easy to use. Highly recommend.
The unit arrived in a largish but not overly heavy box. Once opened, the assembly was a breeze: All you need is a Phillips head screwdriver, which you use to attach the handle to the base unit. All other parts simply click into place. Then you simply pour in the cleaning solution in the "solution" part of the tank, and hot tap water in the "water" part of the tank.
Carpet cleaning itself is a multi-stage process: You set the cleaner on "deep" or "quick" clean mode, depending on how deep you want the water to penetrate and/or how long you want to wait for the carpet to dry. Then you push the cleaner forward, slowly, and then reverse course, while squeezing the handle trigger down. After you've done that, you go forward and back over the same path without holding the trigger down (to suck up the water). After you've done that for the area you're working on, you turn a switch to "rinse" mode, and then repeat the whole process. This gets more of the cleaning solution residue out of your carpet. Then you move to the next area.
All of this takes time, and effort. I've gained a new appreciation for professional carpet cleaners, because this is not nearly as easy as pushing a vacuum around. For one thing, the unit is heavier and harder to maneuver than the average upright vacuum. (Helpful tip: When going upstairs, carry the water tank separately and wait until you're upstairs to attach it, to cut down on the weight.) For another, you want to move slowly so as to get good coverage of your carpet. And then there's the fact that every so often you have to stop to empty out the dirty water that's been sucked up, as well as refill the clean water / solution tanks. You also need to plan in advance just how you're going to cover your areas; I found through experience that it was easier to negotiate the power cord if I did multiple sets of shorter rows than big long rows.
How did it work? Well, I was favorably impressed, impressed enough to give the unit a five-star rating. I was aghast, actually, at how dirty the water was the first time I emptied the dirty water tank--I've attached a photo so you could see it. I had no idea my carpets were that filthy. Yikes. I also was impressed with the upholstery cleaning capabilities. There is an accessory tube/nozzle included that allows you to clean furniture (and carpeted staircases). I'm also attaching a before-and-after photo of an ottoman we own that's had a prominent stain for years. As you can see, the stain didn't go away completely, but it was an old stain and it's a heck of a lot better than it was before. I'm pleased with how it turned out.
So, are there any negatives? Just a couple of minor quibbles. First, the instruction manual has diagrams and instructions for how to REMOVE the dirty water tank, but nothing at all about how to attach it back ON, only an "important" warning that "it is important that the Dirty Water Tank Lid is securely in place. (see Figs. E, F, and G)." It took me literally half an hour to find Figures E, F, and G, which did not show up until 9 pages later in the manual--a little pointer to the right page number would've been helpful. Second, I was a little taken aback at how often I had to stop and empty the dirty water and refill the clean water tank, as well as how quickly the cleaning solution went. I used up the entire sample bottle of cleaner that was provided with the unit merely in cleaning the traffic path in two rooms, a hallway, and the ottoman, and I had to refill the water three times in doing so. It's possible I went over the areas too much and rinsed them more than necessary. I'll need to experiment with it more in the future.
But in all, I think this is a wonderful appliance for people who have lots of pets and/or children, and who want something for spot cleanings or to make their carpets look good in between professional cleanings. (Especially if you are like my household and are too lazy/forgetful to schedule the professional cleanings as often as recommended.)

It is important to note that I do keep a clean house. Never are shoes allowed to be worn in my house and I even have a house keeper that vacuums regularly yet I still pulled this (attached pic) dirt out.

2. Best to take off the tanks during transport. And cradle it by the handle and machine head. The pivot point between the handle and head could fail if the plastic part breaks in the long run.
3. Great performance, cleaned 50 sq ft and still has a quarter tank of clear water left. The quick clean mode did a decent job, the carpet does not feel soaked and should dry in a couple of hours (largely due to the humid weather we are having).
4. All the parts unsnaps for a post job cleaning. The rotary brushes work well over shaggy carpet, but is difficult to clean afterwards. The dust and hair fibres got tangled up. You need a fine tooth comb to get most of them out. And there are five of them, quite a chore.
5. The rotary brushes have a safety feature to stop spinning when you transitioned from carpet to tile floor. To reset, put the handle back to the upright position and tilt back again.
6. The crucial factor is speed. One improvement maybe a mouse like device at the bottom to gauge speed. If I am going too fast, tell me so that I may slow down to get a good clean.
Overall good machine for household use. Thank you Hoover.
