> 3 dayBought this carpet cleaner to combat long-time, set-in stains that were here when I bought the house and had been made worse by traffic. My carpet is an older Berber, and it did fine with this machine. There was no snagging or pulling at any point. This is probably the best money I’ve spent in a really long time. As you can see in the photos, the dirt and grime was lifted completely from the carpet. The machine was incredibly easy (and satisfying) to put together, and it was simple to use. I bought a bottle of solution with my purchase, and I definitely think I would’ve needed it despite the cleaner coming with a smaller bottle of solution. But as you can see, these stains were big and tough. I vacuumed the hallways thoroughly before using the cleaner. It is a bit loud, so keep that in mind. It took several trips to either refill the solution tank or empty the dirty water tank, but those hassles were completely worth the results. This machine does have a trigger, and the instructions recommend pressing the trigger while going forward and backward. I ran the machine over the spot several times during the non-triggered (sucking) phase, and the carpet was damp at worst. It took no time to dry completely, and the smell of the solution did not stick around like some cleaners tend to do. In the picture with the door, you can see the stain has some rounded areas. I tried my much smaller Bissell pet spot cleaner on that stain. It was mostly successful, but you can see this cleaner removed the stain completely. Cleanup was only mildly tedious, with having to really rinse the dirty water tank, and then remove the plastic piece where the machine sucks up the water to clean it. I left everything loosely put back together to let it all dry. Again, these tiny hassles are completely worth it to me. I cannot wait to use this appliance again, especially knowing maintenance will be much easier each time. My carpet feels new, and it looks great. I know other Berber owners had issues, but I would imagine newer, higher pile Berber may react differently to the suction of this machine. My older, flatter Berber did fine. If you’re on the fence or have been eyeing this machine for a while, here’s your sign to buy it. It really works.

> 3 dayI havent used many carpet cleaners, but I cant imagine theres very many that are as convenient and effective as this one. I bought it to clean area rugs and upholstery. Ive only used it once, but it did an excellent job. It made quick work of a couple of very dirty area rugs. And the upholstery attachment worked perfectly to clean a fabric couch and a couple of chairs. It was easy to set up, fill, use, and clean afterwards. I really like this unit, and I highly recommend it.

> 3 dayI like this shampoo vacuum very much, it works great. and for what it cost it’s a great value for the money no complaints there. The one thing I dislike is the capacity of the dirty water tank, it doesn’t hold as much as you think based on appearance because the full line is only about 3 inches up despite the tank being much larger. I guess it’s designed that way to prevent liquid being sucked into the impeller itself, so the float valve stack has to be made tall enough. Despite that small inconvenience it’s a really good machine just take time and don’t go too fast so as to give the vacuum time to suck up as much liquid as possible out of the carpet, mostly in the pull back stroke, thereby reducing the time the carpet or rug will take to dry.

> 3 dayLove this machine! I didn’t realize how dirty my rug was until I cleaned it with this machine! I have 2 big dogs and vacuum daily and this is how clean it got it! Very easy to use the machine and very easy to clean the parts afterwards. Does a great job pulling the water back out too! It is a smaller machine and lite so it does not hold a huge amount of solution or dirty water.

> 3 dayThis thing sucks in a great way. The specs say 8 Sq feet but it does a lot more. The smaller capacity buckets are perfect size, imho. Larger machines get super heavy with both the fill and waste side. The best part is it sucks up a ton of water and debris from the carpet. Replaced a very old Hoover and I don’t regret the purchase one bit.

> 3 dayBefore photo taken after vacuuming (but before shampooing) and After photo taken after two passes with the shampooer. The water is from the second pass. Thats right, the second. Not the first. Hot tip- make sure to move very, very slowly over the sprayed area so the machine can suck up as much nasty fluid as possible. This is the best purchase Ive made in a long time. Thank you!

> 3 dayBought this new house with tons of carpet 2 months ago. Vacuumed the whole house with my Dyson then had professional carpet cleaning come. Master bedroom and office had strange smell that wouldn’t go away. I received this Bissell 3 days ago. I cleaned every room twice using the deep clean option and the smell is finally gone!! Had some weird pet hair come out, which I didn’t even know it was there (probably previous owners pet). This machine is better than Dyson, which is an expensive vacuum. I’m extremely impress and can finally breathe in my room. Highly recommend.

> 3 dayThis little, light weight carpet cleaner is amazing! Its small, compact, super easy to clean but does a wonderful job at cleaning. By the time I was finished with my area rug it was mostly dry. The suction and scrub power was great! I highly recommend!

Greater than one weekI have purchased almost every brand of carpet cleaner over the last 25+ years. From very expensive ($500) to this one. This works as well as the larger carpet cleaners! It does have smaller tanks, so you have to refill/empty more often. It takes up less storage space. It is lightweight. For this price, it is affordable to replace. It has been working very well and I have had no issues with it. When it breaks, I will buy another one immediately!

> 3 dayI used this Bissell in my area rug in den. I have 3 dogs and 10 grandkids.I live in GA. Red mud and clay. Works like a champ Pulls all the grind in dirt up. Mud, spills and doggie accidents I have bought two of these. First one my daughters borrowed and never brought back.lol So got another one clean constantly with it . Excellent size and price. Not to heavy to push either. The container started leaking alittle but I use alot. Would be nice to have an opening on top to just pour it in also. Good buy holds up well.
