Absolutely an amazing machine
I love that the cleaning brush spins so it really cleans the carpet. Best carpet cleaner I’ve ever used and can’t recommend it enough. I just wish it came with a small brush to clean the front part of the machine where it sucks everything up. I live in a farm house with original carpet and the amount of fluff and hair it was pulling up in clumps was amazing.

Great product and smart.
I have been very impressed with the Hoover SmartWash Essentials Carpet Washer. It does an excellent job of deep-cleaning carpets and removing built-up dirt. After using it, the carpets looked noticeably fresher, brighter and almost new again. It is also straightforward to use, and the automatic washing and drying action makes the cleaning process much easier than expected. The only downside is that the machine is quite noisy while operating. However, this is understandable for a carpet washer with strong suction and cleaning power, and it did not bother me too much. I would rather have a slightly noisy machine that cleans properly than a quieter one that does not deliver good results. Overall, it is a very effective carpet cleaner and offers good value for money. I am happy with the results and would recommend it to anyone wanting to refresh tired or heavily used carpets.

Carpet Cleaner exceeded expectation
I can highly recommend the Hoover SmartWash Essentials Carpet Washer. The cleaning performance is very impressive and the drying time is very fast thanks to the drying feature. Our carpets looked refreshed and were left smelling clean. Overall, the Hoover SmartWash Essentials delivers powerful cleaning with minimal effort. It’s user-friendly, effective, and a great investment for keeping carpets looking like new without the cost of professional cleaning.

At a glance
The Hoover SmartWash Essentials Carpet Washer is a user-friendly, automatic carpet cleaner designed for everyday home use. It’s well-suited for families and pet owners, offering easy operation, dual water tanks, and fast drying with HeatForce technology. Its low-profile nozzle helps reach tight spaces. While it tackles most stains efficiently, it may lack the advanced stain removal power of premium models for heavy-duty, set-in stains.
What it’s great for
- Routine Carpet Cleaning
- Pet Accident Cleanup
- Quick Drying
- Everyday Maintenance
Where it works best
- Living Rooms
- Bedrooms
- Family Homes
- Apartments
Who it’s for
- Families
- Pet Owners
- Renters
- Busy Households
Things to consider
May not remove the toughest, set-in stains as effectively as premium or specialist carpet cleaners.
Pet stain removal score
7/10 - Effective for fresh pet stains, but may require multiple passes for older or set-in stains.
Large area suitability
Suitable for medium to large rooms; dual tanks reduce refill frequency for whole-home cleaning.
Ease of use
Very easy - automatic cleaning motion and straightforward controls make operation simple.
Drying time rating
8/10 - HeatForce drying noticeably reduces carpet drying time compared to air drying.
Key benefits
- Automatic Cleaning: Push forward to wash and pull back to dry for effortless operation.
- Dual Tank System: Keeps clean and dirty water separate for optimal cleaning results.
- HeatForce Drying: Accelerates drying time, helping carpets dry faster than air drying alone.
- Low-Profile Nozzle: Easily reaches under furniture and into tight spaces.
- Removable Nozzle: Hassle-free cleaning and maintenance after each use.
- 2.4m Extension Hose: Cleans upholstery, stairs, and hard-to-reach areas.
- Upholstery Tool Included: Versatile cleaning for soft furnishings and car interiors.
- Simple Controls: Intuitive operation suitable for all household members.
Q: Can it handle old stains or mainly fresh spills?
A: It can lift everyday dirt, spills, hair and many stains, but older set-in marks may need repeated passes and may not come out fully. This model is aimed at regular home cleaning rather than heavy-duty restoration work.
Q: How well does Dry Only mode reduce carpet wetness?
A: Dry Only mode pulls out more moisture after washing, and HeatForce is designed to shorten drying time further. Carpet should still be left to dry before heavy use, especially after slower passes or when extra solution has been used.
Q: Will it clean stairs, lounges and car seats properly?
A: Yes. Hoover SmartWash Essentials Carpet Washer has a 2.4 metre hose and upholstery tool for stairs, lounges and car interiors. Those areas are cleaned in sections, so it is more practical for targeted jobs than whole-house floor runs.
Q: Do the tanks make it practical for medium to large rooms?
A: Yes. Hoover SmartWash Essentials Carpet Washer separates 3.8 litres of clean water from 2.1 litres of dirty water for steady cleaning across larger areas. The dirty tank may need emptying before the clean tank is fully used.
Q: Is the Hoover SmartWash Essentials noisy when operating?
A: Yes. Hoover SmartWash Essentials Carpet Washer is not a quiet appliance. Its 1200W motor is designed for strong extraction, so expect normal carpet-washer noise while it is washing and drying, rather than something suited to late-night use.
Q: What comes in the box with this carpet washer?
A: It comes with the carpet washer, a 2.4 metre hose, an upholstery tool, a mesh tool accessory bag and a trial-size cleaning solution. It does not include a wider set of specialised attachments, so detailed jobs may take more care.
