Greater than one weekBetween cats, dogs, and kids, my carpets are constantly disgusting. I had been renting or borrowing a carpet cleaner every couple of months prior to this, but we finally bit the bullet and bought our own. The photos attached are in my son’s bedroom - I believe it’s soda stains. Well, not anymore at least. Pros: it’s got huge tanks. For one bedroom I had to dump twice and refill once, and had tons left over in the tank after that 2nd refill. It’s heavy duty - you can definitely tell that it’s getting the carpets clean, because there’s intense suction. You feel it when you pull it backward. Plus, I mean, the nozzle attachment. Haven’t used it yet but it’s next on my list. Cons: it’s heavy. Heavier than the rental vacuum in a way. That may be because of the suction this sucker has, but it’s a bit harder to maneuver than some I’ve used in the past. It’s also loud - I know they’re not meant to be quiet, but it lets out a high pitch at a frequency that tickles my brain in a not-fun way. Highly recommend headphones when using it. If you’re looking for a carpet cleaner, this one is excellent for the value.

> 3 dayI received this thing on February 14, 2023 to replace a competitors machine that broke after only a few uses (I know. I should have read the reviews, but it was a very popular, trusted brand, so I trusted them. Silly me!) Well, this one did the same thing. It worked perfectly when it worked, but this morning I went to use it and it died. It smelled like rubber burning and then made a wretched noise so I turned it off. I called Bissell since it was past the return to Amazon date and they were awesome! They said theyd send me a new one to replace it and I didnt have to beg, threaten or plead with them to make things right. I asked if I could pay for an upgrade instead of getting the same one, but they said Id have to talk to Amazon about that, so Ill do that and, hopefully, I can pay the difference and get a sturdier model. Either way, Im very impressed with their customer service and, if the new shampooer works, Ill be even happier!!

> 3 dayI purchased this machine 2 years ago and let me tell you something… this machine is a power house and cleans better than others I’ve used in the past. It easily removes stains from the carpet/rug almost immediately. Side note, I only used vinegar, fabric softener and pipping hot water for the solution and works wonders. Still truly happy with this purchase.

> 3 dayThis machine is much nicer than I the older model and works fantastic my large 7x 5 and my 8 x 10 and 3 x 9 runners. Great great does a good job cleaning and so much easier to clean the machine. To bad they moved the on/off switch but that is minor. Worth every penny.

> 3 dayI have used this type of machine for many years. This one is very easy to fill and empty. First impression suggests it will do a great job for a reasonable to a long service life. The power switch is a bit awkward to turn on and off but worth any inconvenience to help the animals! Used it a bit longer and found everything works a bit better after a couple of tanks. Switch even works a little smoother.

> 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.

> 3 dayThe product works really good. It is somewhat small compared to my previous carpet cleaner, but overall it gets the job done. Because of its size it does have to be refilled multiple times but that is if you are doing a large carpet. I had time so it didn’t bother me at all. Like I said it did its job perfectly. 10/10 recommend!! Ps: make sure to empty out the dirty water once it reaches the full line because it will start spitting out the dirty water onto the carpet. I was distracted in cleaning the carpet that I wasn’t paying attention to that! Oops

Greater than one weekAs a professional house cleaner I’ve used countless carpet cleaners and tools, I have a white patterned rug in my own home that has been worn down by two dogs and my son. This carpet cleaner worked wonders, it not only worked well but did it quickly and efficiently. The tank is large enough to get through enough surface area so your not having to make a million trips. It is easy to keep clean as well. Overall I’m extremely happy with it would recommend it to anyone.

> 3 dayI received this last week. I have cleaned 3 carpets so far. I have a handheld spot cleaner and a very large sanitaire machine that holds 6 gallons of water. This machine is so easy to use. In a weird sort of way, its almost fun to use. Its great for traffic areas that take a beating. Other reviewers mentioned the small tank size. For me, it wasnt a problem. At least the water stays hot while I am cleaning the carpet. If the suction stops working, it means the float has popped up and the machine will not suck up any more water. You need to empty the tank. You can hear the change in the sound of the machine when that happens. Also, make sure the top gray cap is pushed in all the way. Some people said they need two hands to push the machine because the handle doesnt move back. There is a lever to step on so you can pivot the handle back just like an upright vacuum. For the people that have leaks, make sure the ring around the float is not cross-threaded or loose and the cap on the clean water tank is screwed on properly and snug. Of course make sure you have connected both tanks to the machine properly. I snap down both handles on the dirty water tank at the same time when I put it back on the machine. Some tips: * Make sure you thoroughly vacuum first. Really. * Use very hot water from your tap. Dont boil water and use it. There is a max of 140 degrees listed on the clean water tank. * Use the smallest bit of carpet soap. Dont use laundry or dish soap. Add white vinegar to the clean water tank too. * If you have really dirty areas, you can use the machine without the dirty water tank in place. That way you can get a fair amount of cleaning solution into the carpet. Then attach the dirty water tank and suck it up. Dont get the carpet too wet. * After you are done, put only hot water (no soap) in the clean water tank and go over the carpet again. Leftover carpet soap residue attracts dirt. * To extract as much water as you can from the carpet, lean over the machine, loop your hand under the handle on the dirty water tank and push the machine while pressing it into the carpet. * Set up a box fan on high until you are sure the rug is dry. Dig your fingers into the carpet fibers to check. * After you are done cleaning, open the side gray cap and dump the dirty water. Unscrew the ring from the float assembly and clean the float too. Put the float and ring back together. Leave the side gray cap open. * I put the cap from the clean tank inside the cleaned out dirty water tank. Unscrew the ring on the float assembly so you can put the cap inside. I put a paper towel under the clean water tank and slid it back on the grooves so it can air dry. * Take the machine to your sink without the tanks. I was amazed how much cat hair and grit there was stuck underneath. Give the underneath a good spray and check the red rubber bar next to the rotating brush. * I put it up on two wood blocks so the bottom can dry. * Pet stains are a two part cleaning project. Theres the stain and theres the odor. For the odor, you need a pet enzyme cleaner. Follow the directions on the bottle. Your pet may go back in the same place again if you dont remove the odor. Their noses are lower to the carpet and better at detecting odors than ours so get down after the carpet is dry and give it a good sniff. *** Buy this machine. Your carpets are dirtier than you think***

> 3 dayThe turboclean powerbrush pet Bissell has been great for cleaning up pet accidents, and overall carpet cleaning. However, after eight months of having this Bissell, the belt rotator will not cool down, and has been melting the plastic of the vacuum from the inside out, no longer allowing it to work. It is also hard to clean the underside of the vacuum.
