Verdict on Hoover
Hoover's best products on our tracker aren't its uprights, they're its carpet cleaners. The PowerDash Pet and Powerscrub XL both hold 4.4 stars across tens of thousands of reviews, and the pricier SmartWash Pet XL does the same. Prices run from about $62 to $441, with most models landing near $195. If you want a full-time dry vacuum, Hoover is fine but unremarkable. If you want to pull pet stains and ground-in dirt out of carpet, it's one of the better values here.
Pros
- Carpet cleaners are the standout: PowerDash Pet and Powerscrub XL both rate 4.4 stars over 50,000-plus reviews
- Wide price spread from about $62 to $441 covers budget and full-size buyers
- Familiar WindTunnel uprights and the ONEPWR cordless battery system, widely stocked
- More than a century of brand history means parts and bags are easy to find
Cons
- The FloorMate hard-floor cleaner trails the carpet models at 3.7 stars
- Dry vacuum performance is average rather than a reason to pick the brand
- Carpet cleaners need Hoover solution and periodic brush maintenance, an ongoing cost
- Plastic build on the budget uprights feels light next to premium brands

Which Hoover Fits Your Home?
Pet owner with wall-to-wall carpet
Pick: PowerDash Pet →At $175 it's the most-reviewed machine in Hoover's lineup here, with 84,702 reviews at 4.4 stars. It's built to lift embedded pet hair and stains without the bulk or price of a full-size deep cleaner.
Whole-house deep clean on a larger carpeted home
Pick: Powerscrub XL →The bigger tank and wider path at $200 (4.4 stars) suit large rooms where the PowerDash would need frequent refills. It's the step up when square footage, not budget, is the constraint.
Frequent pet accidents, wants the strongest carpet option
Pick: SmartWash Pet XL →At $289 it's the priciest carpet cleaner we track from Hoover, with automatic solution mixing aimed at pet homes that clean often. Worth it only if you're treating messes regularly rather than seasonally.

Bissell has the deeper pet-specific catalog, while Hoover's picks are simpler and slightly cheaper. For most carpeted pet homes either brand does the job.
