Yes or No to the Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge?

I started doing some online shopping for steam vacuums, and I came across a few carpet cleaner reviews that talked about a specific Hoover steam vacuum. I actually wasn’t looking to buy any type of Hoover steam cleaner, but I kept finding more information about the Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge.
I will say that several of the reviews, whether Hoover, Bissell, Shark, or Eureka indicated that the “steam” in the steam vacuums is not all it’s cracked up to be. But anyway, I like this one because it seems to provide deep cleaning, and it meets some of my other needs. I found one online for a really really good deal, but I’m just not sure if my expectations will let me be pleased with it once I buy it.

So, here are my expectations I have for whatever steam vacuum I buy:
1. Deep cleaning (I have light colored carpet in high traffic areas.)
2. Doesn’t leave a residue on the carpet. (Even after some professionals cleaned my
carpet and I vacuumed like they said, it still felt like there was some type of
residue on the carpet.)
3. Doesn’t leave carpet soaking wet.
4. Fairly lightweight so I can carry it upstairs easily.
5. Doesn’t need a special detergent. (If I want to use eco-friendly detergents, I
can.)
6. Doesn’t pull/tear the carpet fibers and leave little fuzz balls all over the
place.

I know my list is long, but I like my carpet cleaned a certain way and I don’t want to use professional carpet cleaners anymore. I just want to be able to pull out my steam vacuum and go to work! Although the Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge is my favorite so far, I think my list is keeping me from buying it or any other steam vacuum cleaner.

I need help. I have family coming for the 4th of July, and I’m getting nervous! I have visions of me being on my hands and knees with a toothbrush if I don’t buy something soon!

Tell me what you think.
