I actually purchased the F5915-900 model, the only difference is that mine did not include the powered hand tool. They didn’t have the one with the handtool anywhere locally, so I purchased it without and then went online to Hoover to purchase the handtool

I must say that I am impressed with this machine. My mother owns a Bissell Pro Heat machine which I have borrowed and used a few times, with no complaints…until now. I was hesitant to buy this machine because I was already familiar with the Bissell machine which in my opinion is very easy to use. I feared this Hoover would be harder to use and an inferior product due to the drastic price different between the two. Recently I had scanned a consumer reports article listing the Hoover as a superior machine and the Hoover was priced 50.00 less than the lower model Bissell and I wanted the best I could get with my money. So I “settled” on the Hoover and now I realize I did not settle at all, but I made the better choice. My mom purchased her Bissell thinking that bigger price = better machine, but in this case she is 100% wrong.

No heater exists on this machine, true…but on all machines the water cools while traveling through the tubes and being sprayed, so honestly its not a big deal. The Hoover holds more clean and dirty water than the Bissell, and the machine itself is far easier to clean after use. The suction on this machine is far superior than on the Bissell which I feel leads to a much cleaner carpet in the end because the dirty water is not being left behind. I just finished cleaning my livingroom 10 minutes ago and already the floor feels dry to the touch. It seems with the Bissell you are paying more for less, and for features that are more about style than practicality. I do admit keeping the cleaning solution seperate from the clear water was nice, and not having to attach the hose when you want to use it was nice but that was about all the Bissell had going for it. I much prefer the larger tanks
