HOOVER ONEPWR Spotless GO Deep Cleaner Review

Pet stains are no fun, but the convenience of the battery-powered Hoover ONEPWR Spotless GO Deep Cleaner makes the job much easier!

Performance

If you have a dog and a typical carpet cleaner, you know the song and dance: dog throws up, I go get the carpet cleaner, I fill the tank with solution, I find a place to plug it in, I struggle with untangling the cord, and by the time I’m ready to clean up the vomit, the dog has already taken care of it (ugh!).

The convenience of the lithium battery included with the Hoover ONEPWR Spotless Deep Cleaner makes it a real “grab and go” solution. No more struggling to untangle a power cord and find a place to plug it in. You simply pick it up and (if you still have cleaner in the tank) turn it on and begin cleaning.

I’ll admit that I was initially turned off by battery-powered power tools, thinking they wouldn’t have enough power to do the job. However, now that I own a RYOBI weed wacker and leaf blower, I’m all about the battery! The included lithium battery provide adequate suction power to clean up stains, but it doesn’t get every bit of moisture out of the carpet. Older stains take several passes and some patience, but I think it’s more the solution’s fault than the cleaner itself.

Setup and Maintenance

Setup was easy enough and involved charging the battery for 3 hours before the initial use. Everything else was already assembled for the most part.

For maintenance, you’ll need to empty the “dirty water” tank when you’re done using it and scoop out any gunk in the red filter under the tank. You can rinse off the attachment tool under your sink if it has accumulated some gunk on it as well. That’s about it.

Battery Life

Don’t expect to be cleaning the entire floor with the Hoover ONEPWR; after about 5 minutes of usage, the battery showed about a 50% charge remaining. So runtime will likely be about 10 minutes or less. Recharging an empty battery can take up to 3 hours.
