Hoover SteamVac brush replacement
It was very easy to replace these brushes. We have been very happy with our SteamVac. We recently used it to clean the carpets in our daughter's new college apartment that had been RAVAGED by the previous tenants. I think this machine cleans on par with the rental units you get at the local supermarket. We have used ours so much that I thought it a good idea to replace the brushes which had become a bit worn
prepare to replace again and again
This is my second replacement of this brush since I bought the vac a year ago. ( Yes, I could have spent 30 dollars in gas to drive across the city to leave it at the warranty shop for 2 weeks. Or I could have had replacement brush shipped to my door for the same price in 2 days. You do the math on cost and aggravation.)
The brush is designed to break. The stem coming up from the brush (which can be seen from the top of vac through a clear plastic cover) is made of cheap plastic. Be assured it breaks--and will break again. (Actually, the entire steam vac has plastic moving and connecting parts instead of metal ones, assuring breakage!) But back to the brush review.
Although it pains me to say anything positive about this cheaply made brush and steam vac, here it is: 1. Brush is very easy to replace. 2. The brush does a very good job of cleaning--until it breaks. 3. Amazon sells it cheaper than the 30 dollar replacement I ordered from another online...
works well, but should be made of a stronger plastic
The brush is easy to replace. If hoover made it like their old vacuums, it wouldn't be made of plastic. I had to replace e my brush about a year (maybe 10 uses). Ze replacement held up over 1.5yrs so far.
