Carpet Cleaners, Steam Mops, Handheld Steam Cleaners & More!
When many people think of Rug Doctors, they think of the popular carpet cleaner rentals leased by their neighborhood grocery or home improvement stores. For a mere thirty bucks or so, you can take one home and use it for a day.
Although renting is an inexpensive alternative to paying a professional to tackle the task, many do-it-yourselfers would prefer to own their own machine. After all, renting does its own set of disadvantages… [Read more...]
The Hoover Platinum Collection Carpet Cleaner, Model # F8100-900, will be released later this month. We are truly excited to see what this machine can do!
With “Platinum” in its name, it should be no surprise that this machine is a little pricier than other noncommercial carpet cleaners. The suggested retail price is $449.99. Although this price may seem a little steep, consider this – the Hoover F8100-900 has a six year warranty! That’s right, six years – most steam cleaners have a one year warranty, and if you are really lucky, two.
Many people love their Hoover carpet cleaners, but a common complaint is that there are too many plastic pieces, and that the machines are not built to last. With a six year warranty, could these complaints be a thing of the past? We can’t wait to find out! [Read more...]

Luckily, there have been very few steam cleaner recalls in the past year. Actually, based on our search of the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website, there has only been one in the past year – the H2O Portable Handheld Steam Cleaner by Thane (Model # YQ3888 with Product Codes 071025 through 080324).
These units were recalled because steam can escape from the handle and trigger, causing hand and finger burns. The white and dark gray portable handheld steam cleaners were shipped from December 2007 through May 2008, as a bonus item for customers who purchased the H2O Steam Mop through the television infomercials or through Thane Company’s website. If you own one, check the label on the underside of the steamer to see if the model number and product codes match those of the recalled units. If so, do not continue to use. Please note that the steam mops are not part of this recall.
Thane is offering either a replacement unit or a $30.00 coupon to be used for the purchase of another item from their company. To learn more about the H2O recall, You can contact Thane toll-free at (800) 388-4490 or by visiting their website at www.thane.com. You can also visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website to learn more. We will also post any future steam cleaner recalls here on our blog.
