It does what it says. I have not owned other brands but have seen the Sharks in stores. This is a well-made product, unlike the Shark. I have only had it two months so can't tell you how it holds up over time with normal use but it does the job it says it does and with minimal mess and preparation. The warming time for water is 30 seconds at the most.

Like most reviews for this also states, you must sweep your floors before steaming or it will just move what is on the floor around. This steamer removes dirt, stains, spills, pet accidents, scuffs but it does not have separate attachments for cleaning grout and will not.

This product is not for use on rugs or carpets. That is the only drawback to me but i have lots of tile and dogs so it gets good use.

For the money and after my EXTENSIVE research, this is the steamer you should own. I also have a EUREKA BOSS vacuum that is excellent. I am very pleased with the quality of all their products (so far)

This is an amazing tool for grooming our dog, and cats too! We just adjust the pressure on the different pets - labrador retriever, short hair cat and long hair cat. The pets seem to really like it and they look great afterward. The amount of loose fur that comes off was a surprise to me even after reading so many reviews.

Seems to be just as effective as what I get from the vet, but at a much better price.

I Have Had 2 Other Type Coffee Makers This One Which Grinds The Coffee Before Brewing makes The Best coffee. Cuisinart in my option has All the options you need,Cuisinart is a little pricey but Well worth the money.

I needed to replace my old water filter and ordered this product. It was easy to replace and water tastes much better with the new one. Wish it had some indication when it's time to replace the old one.

I purchase this as a gift for a friend since I received one at Christmas time. Love It! You had the best price in town and I researched the item before I purchased it for a close friend who saw my and desired to have one for themselves.

The product proved to be of very good utility and satisfied my purpose to the maximum.

You could say dirty floors are my pet peeve. With that stated, I also say this vacuum is a great value. I have had this vacuum for about 8 months and now use it as my main push vacuum (I also use a Roomba). It is easy to maneuver, cleans the carpet well, and is lightweight enough to use on stairs. In addition to the Hoover Tempo and Roomba, I also have a 15 year old Hoover WindTunnel which is too heavy for me to use on stairs and a 6 year old Kenmore Elite Canister vacuum (rated a best buy in Consumer Reports when I purchased it) which does not pick up dust and dirt as well as this Hoover Tempo.

I have a lot of tile in my home. The Hoover Tempo tends to sling as much of the dust and dirt as it picks up when I run it on the tile. So I use the Roomba instead.

As a busy mom, I do delegate chores to my kids. Vacuuming is one of the easier chores I delegate. My kids tend to be rough on vacuums. My Kenmore Elite Canister vacuum has been "broken" by my son several times - requiring several hours of repair by a disgruntled husband. This Hoover Tempo however has been used by my kids since we got it and is still working perfectly.

The cord is a little shorter than most and that can be a nuisance. I either change electrical sockets frequently or add and extension cord. Problem solved.

I purchased this for my cat who loves the outdoors and has brought home more than a few ticks. I heard that this product was one of the best you can purchase so I first ordered it through a mail order catalog. It was pricy but did the job. I was happy to find it on for a lot less.

This item performs very well with both our short and long pile carpet. Please keep in mind that I have only rental Rug Doctor steamers and a cheap Bissell QuickSteamer to compare it to. The scrubbing and water lifting capacity (albeit a slightly more narrow pass) is superior to the massive Rug Doctor and the cleanup and ease of operation is on par or superior to the much smaller Bissell. Plus the added attachments make odd-ball jobs clean up nicely. With both a child and an indoor dog, we use the cleaner weekly and we are very satisfied with the Hoover, the dog on the other hand...
