Hoover PowerScrub XL Carpet Cleaner vs Hoover PowerScrub Deluxe

Both are corded Hoover uprights with SpinScrub brushes and an 8 ft hose, so the core cleaning job is similar. The PowerScrub XL is the bigger machine: five counter-rotating brushes, HeatForce heated drying, Quick Clean Mode and a larger tank, and its much larger owner base rates it slightly higher. The PowerScrub Deluxe is lighter and simpler, with a Smart Tank that fills and empties without tools. Buy the XL for whole-home deep cleaning and faster drying; buy the Deluxe if you want easier tank handling and a lighter machine.

• Choose the PowerScrub XL if you clean whole rooms or whole homes and want heated drying, five brushes and fewer refill stops.
• Choose the PowerScrub Deluxe if you want a lighter, simpler machine with tool-free tank filling and emptying for stairs, upholstery and spot work.
