What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Carpet Cleaner (3587)

Two whitelisted testers cover this Pet Pro cleaner hands-on: Reviewed (US 1986 SKU, lab-tested) and Real Homes (UK version). Both call it powerful, easy to use, and strong on pet odors and upholstery, but loud (Reviewed measured ~86 dBA) and bulky to store. No Good Housekeeping, Wirecutter, or TechGearLab test of the exact 3587 bundle was found. (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)

Praised: Powerful, effective on pet odors, stains and general grime; Easy to use with simple, quick setup; Versatile attachments handle upholstery and stairs well.

Flagged: Very loud in use (Reviewed's sound meter read ~86 dBA); Heavy, bulky and awkward to store; Misnamed 'ProHeat' — it does not heat the water itself; you add hot water.

SmartWash Pet Complete Automatic Carpet Cleaner (FH53000V)

In the only whitelisted hands-on test found - Reviewed's November 2025 holiday-stain challenge on a white shag rug - the Hoover SmartWash Pet Complete out-cleaned a Bissell and a Shark, fully lifting soot and hot-chocolate stains and doing best on the rest; only mashed-in pumpkin resisted. It's qualitative, with no measured noise or dry-time numbers. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)

Praised: Fully lifted charcoal soot and hot-chocolate stains from a white shag rug in a head-to-head challenge; Best overall stain removal versus the Bissell Little Green HydroSteam and Shark CarpetXpert.

Flagged: Even as the test winner it could not fully remove a mashed-in pumpkin-pie stain.
