If your child or pet — or perhaps your friend with a glass of red wine in hand? — has ever had an accident on your nice clean carpet, you know how stressful it can be when it comes to trying to remove a stubborn stain to no avail.

A professional cleaning job can put a serious dent in your wallet — and if you have kids or pets, let's be real: The accidents probably aren't stopping at one.

Short of ripping up all your carpeting so you never have to deal with annoying stains again (which, I support you), an at-home carpet cleaner is probably your best bet. But there are so many on the market at different price points — and no one wants to throw down a wad of cash on a device that may not even wind up doing the job when all is said and done.

Well, I'm here to assuage your worries and introduce you to a power carpet cleaner that nearly 10,000 Amazon customers love — and they've made it clear that this is one of the smartest investments you can make if you've got a carpet that's been looking rough lately.

It's called the Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Washer, and though it's a splurge ($126), it will totally save you a pretty penny in the long run if you're regularly cleaning up after little ones (or furry ones, or drunk friends, or a clumsy partner).

In addition to solid brand recognition (did you know in the UK they actually call *all* vacuums hoovers??), the Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Washer has some pretty incredible before-and-after pictures that prove just how efficient this take-no-prisoners machine is.

amazon.com

It's lightweight and designed with two separate tanks for clean and dirty water that are easy to fill, empty, and rinse; it works by using a 360-degree brush system to scrub carpet fibers from every angle, as well as forced heated air to help lift and remove stains and speed up dry time.

The cleaner comes with a sample bottle of solution and includes an 8-foot hose and a hand tool, stair tool, upholstery tool, and crevice tool to help deep-clean stairs and hard-to-reach areas. It also features a two-year warranty.

But enough about the specs. Let's look at some of the evidence, shall we?

"Awesome machine! Very much exceeded my expectations — comes with all the attachments that you could possibly need! Easy setup: Just two Philips screws that attach the handle. Everything else snaps easily in place. Super easy to use: first water tank holds hot clean water. Also has a place for the cleaning solution to be poured in. Second water tank picks up the dirty water. Machine shuts off automatically when you need to replace the water. Cleaning detergent:

Carpet Miracle by Sunny & Honey — this carpet cleaning solution is far superior to Hoover's (works better and smells great).

In the attached photo, I cleaned carpet that was never cleaned since it was installed almost 10 years ago, in 2006. Today, it looks as if it was just purchased and installed. The stains are gone and the carpet fibers feel like new once again." —Dreamer

Just check out the amazing job it did on the mess this adorable lil' guy made:

"First, I should say this is my first time using a carpet washer, so I can't compare it to others, and I've only used it once (for several hours), so I can't speak to the longevity. With that said — this is the best $135 I've ever spent. I'd been putting off dealing with my carpet since I have a senior Chihuahua that will probably (definitely) continue to have accidents on it — so spending $100 for a professional to come in and work on it felt pointless, and I wasn't sure how well an at-home one would work. But now that I have this, I wish I got it sooner. Now that my carpet is clean, I feel like this weight of grossness in my daily life has been lifted off my shoulders.

This washer made my carpet look almost like new. I'd say, compared to the intense stains I started off with, it's 98% better — and I didn't even spot-treat it right before washing. I used the Hoover pet-specific detergent, but again, I can't compare to others just yet. My room looks amazing, and no longer requires a powerful plug-in scent going strong right by the door. It is almost completely dry overnight (very slight dampness by the door, where I finished last and did a lot of repeat washes). The 'after' photo is from this morning, after joyfully walking barefoot on my carpet once again." —LuxAndCali

I mean!

"This thing is pretty darn good for not being industrial. When people complain they seem to forget that this unit is NOT expensive. If it lasts for a few good cleanings for accidents it pays for itself. To prolong its life take care of it! Clean it after each use. Also make sure you squeeze the trigger without the clean water tank on AFTER each use then run it with the brushes engaged for some time to dry the brush drive mechanism. Be sure to clean the tank filter and brushes after each use. This is not ideal but a small annoyance for a machine that does what it is supposed to. Also do not carry it by the handle. Use the carry handle that is marked as such. It really bothers me when people write a bad review for their own stupidity or laziness when they buy something inexpensive and expect it to perform like an industrial rental and last like one as well.

See my photos of how it saved our light carpet when our 18-month-old puked up his green smoothie. I had to use a little elbow grease with the hand scrubber attachment but in the end it did a hell of a job with the addition of some heavy-duty 409 carpet spot cleaner. Hope this review helps and doesn't set ridiculous expectations for an affordable home carpet cleaner. Cheers!" —Loaf

"I was hesitant to buy this product after reading some of the negative reviews. I am so happy I went ahead and bought this cleaner. I used this on some very dirty area rugs at my husband's business and the results were amazing. I read a lot of reviews about leaking and brushes not working and to be honest this is a machine that does require some care and clean up after each use. A carpet cleaner is never a piece of equipment you can use and just stick in the closet like you do the vacuum. When I am done using this machine I always take the time to empty and rinse all tanks. I then let them air dry on the counter or in the sink. I make sure the filter inside the dirty water tank isn't coated with thick grime or hair. I then take off the spin brushes and clean them thoroughly. I leave them to dry and rather than put them back on the machine I go ahead and store them in the attachment bag until I am ready to use it again. I have used this machine several times over the past month or so on some of the dirtiest carpets and never once had an issue with the performance." —T. Caldwell

Why, hello there, puke-free white carpeting.

"This machine is well worth it. I added a pictures to show the results after five maybe six minutes of use. The stain is dog puke and has been there at least a couple weeks. I had another stain that's been on my carpet from the previous owner that even a Rug Doctor couldn't put a dent in. This machine removed It like a champ. The only downside is that the water reservoir is very small so if you have a large area that you need to clean you're going to be refilling it several times." —J. Youkhanna

OH 👏 HELL👏 YES 👏

"I've had this carpet cleaner for a few months now and I still love it! My 2-year-old niece decided to pour bright red paint on my 1-year-old son today as an art project. Lol. Thank goodness for this carpet cleaner!! Can't even see the crime scene she left behind!!" —Kasheena

"I just moved into a new house about four weeks ago and not long after I moved in I adopted an adult dog who was not fully potty trained. He had a couple accidents in the house and I never knew if I was REALLY cleaning the accidents or just the top of the carpet. I didn't have any stains, but I wanted to get this to really get down in the carpet to make sure the urine was completely gone. I went over my carpet with a black light (pet stains will glow bright neon yellow/green). I didn't find any of my own dog's so I guess I cleaned those well enough. Just out of curiosity I moved my furniture to check there too. Sure enough I found a urine spot, I had doubts the previous owners had the carpets 'professionally' cleaned before we moved in anyway. So I knew this stain was pretty old, at three months (when the previous owners moved out). I thought I would try this Hoover on it anyway to see if it worked. IT DID! I'm so impressed!

Although the urine wasn't visible to the naked eye, I included pictures with the black light where you can clearly see it. I went over it a couple times with the wash cycle then a couple times with the rinse, mostly just testing the thing out. I swear I almost died when I saw the urine was completely gone. I'm not at all worried about potty training the new dog now because if this thing can work on accidents that old it can probably do anything!" —Mac
