Is the Hoover CleanSlate Spotless worth it?

For occasional small stains and pet messes, yes. It costs far less than a full-size carpet cleaner and is easier to store. If you need to clean whole rooms regularly, a larger machine is a better fit.

How is it different from a full-size carpet cleaner?

It has much smaller clean and dirty tanks and a hand-held hose rather than a wide cleaning head. That makes it good for stairs, cars and upholstery but slow for large carpet areas.

Does it work on pet stains and odors?

It removes fresh pet accidents well when you use a solution made for pet stains. For set-in odors, treat the area first and expect to make several passes.

What comes in the box?

The unit, a hose with an integrated brush tool, and a sample bottle of Hoover cleaning solution. Extra solution is sold separately.

Our take on the Hoover CleanSlate Spotless Portable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner

The Hoover CleanSlate Spotless is a compact spot cleaner for carpets and upholstery. It sprays cleaning solution into a stain, scrubs with a brush, and vacuums the dirty water back into a small tank. It is built for small messes like pet accidents, spills and car seats rather than whole-room cleaning. It is a low-cost entry into spot cleaning, and its price has held fairly steady at the low end of its range.
