Customers regard the Max Extract 60 Carpet Cleaner favorably for its cleaning performance and ease of use, with many praising its effectiveness in cleaning carpets and the clarity of its instructions. Positive feedback also highlights the machine's suction capabilities and relatively light weight, making it easy to maneuver. However, some customers wished for a feature to heat the water for enhanced cleaning.
I purchased the Hoover Max Extract at a local Best Buy retailer in March of 2012. It worked adequately the first time I used it - not great but I really did not put much of a load on it. Indoor commercial grade carpet in a sun room. I cleaned and stored the machine. Second time I used it, the brushed worked ok for about 5 minutes then stopped working. Apparently the little plastic shaft that drives the circular brushes snapped off. The drive shaft appears to have a weakpoint with less than 1/4" of plastic that can be easily stressed and fail. This is a very poor engineering design. I can't see this machine lasting the duration of its warranty if it breaks down as the result of a poor design. The brush assembly requires maintenance after every area you clean. The machine also needs to be cleaned frequently and can not be considered reliable. The product labeling also claims to have "Forced Heat" - this is a false claim. The only heat this machine produces is regulated by the heat of the tap water you fill it with. I do not recommend purchasing this product. I don't recommend purchasing this product with out an extended warranty.

It seems to pick up the dirt well. It was easy to use. I also like the attachments were right there and use to access.

I had put off buying a carpet cleaning machine. The area to clean is one hallway and three bedrooms. It really cleaned well. My carpet is of a light color.
