Works great, w/ Folex
I’ve had my Agility for a couple years. I like the ease of use and the fact that my carpets dry much quicker than when I have them professionally done.

With a husband, a 2 year old boy, 3 cats and after dropping my quarterly carpet cleaning contract with a local company, it was time to buy a carpet cleaning machine. After doing several days of researching and shopping, I decided to buy the Hoover Agility from Wal*Mart for about $185. My husband told me that I wasted our money, well….he was wrong!!!! After thoroughly vacuuming my carpets, I cleaned out my bagless Hoover Wind Tunnel, and as usual, the bagless cannister was full of cat hair, dust, and dirt. I then proceeded to clean the carpets in my house. The water was disgustingly dirty, almost black!!! After allowing the carpets to dry, I vacuumed my carpets to remove any ’shading’. I was completely amazed!!! The only thing that my vacuum cleaner picked up was a small amount of loose carpet fibers!!! Yes, just carpet fibers!!!

Pros: Comes pre-assembled, extremely easy to operate and I did this without ready the manual, the water tanks are easy to remove, fills, and they snap very back into place with little effort.

Cons: The electrical cord in my opinion is not long enough.

Good Machine
I like this machine. It works really well. The only thing I would have to complain about is the head doesn’t seem heavy enough. I wish it would hold tighter to the carpet.

Don’t Buy
I’ve had this product for 2 years and the motor burned up. Also the hose the bends with the hand has ripped opened.

We’d been using a Kenmore canister carpet cleaner a couple times a year for 12 years- a gift from my dad along with a puppy. Well, the dog is 12 years old now and doing fine. The carpet cleaner has been iffy about working and finally broke tonight. We quickly did research on the internet and decided that a Hoover was the one to get. At 10pm we drove down to the local Wal-mart to look at the two Hoover models that were there. We decided on the Agility because of the hand held power brush attachment. Since the downstairs was all prepped (furniture moved and carpet vacuumed) we opened the box and got started. It was truly ready to go right out of the box.
I have never used carpet cleaner soap and I ran across a review that mentioned it wasn’t necessary and any soap residue left in the carpet can attract more dirt. Don’t hesitate to try plain water yourself. You will still have a muddy filled collection tank.
The Agility is very easy to manuver, the containers were easy to fill and dump (into the toilet)and it left the carpet dryer than our previous machine. It wasn’t as noisy as I expected and one of our pups followed me around and laid down- on the finished part of course. I would have continued on the upstairs but my husband found his turn with the machine was lulling him to sleep!
Cleaning up was quick- best done in the kitchen in case of drips.
The booklet mentioned vacuuming after it is dry to remove the tracking lines. I’ve always done that and find it also removes the last of the dirt that has been drawn up to the surface.
We’ve been in our new house for 7 months and have 4 dogs (2 under a year). The Agility is a welcomed addition.

I also own the Hoover V2 which is amazing. For cleaning there’s nothing like it. Problem is it is so flimsy. From the time I got it the V2 has fallen apart everytime I used it. Other users have had similar problems. It feels like a toy (actually toys are built better…bad example).
The Agility doesn’t have a “rinse” feature and leaves the carpet more than fairly damp. Those are my gripes. Other than that it is my staple. Very sturdy and well built (hard to believe it’s the same company). Weighs nothing and is so easy to manuveur- unfortunately I think the lack of suction is responsible for that
It still does a good job cleaning and the separate rinse session I have to do (I add alittle vinegar to the clear water my second time) probably does a better job cutting the residue. I hate to say it (after all the money I spent on my V2 and the incredible way it cleans) but the Agility is my keeper.

Works Great until it breaks
I purchased this unit about a year ago, and have been happy with its performance. It is light and manageable but still does a great job on my carpets.
