Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet Carpet Cleaner, 2987,Green/ Black

Feels quality for the price and it worked extremely well. People have said it’s a pain to refill the small water jug but in my 700 sq ft apartment I believe I refilled it about 4 times- which isn’t bad. Also the dirty water jug holds multiple bottles of liquid so you don’t have to dump that one each time. Time will tell if it lasts - but I’m feeling good about it. I just make sure to clean it after every use.

I bought this to see how it would clean an area that the dog lies continuously and leaves soiled. It does a very nice job and is easy to use . The suction seems adequate as the carpet does not feel really wet when finished and the pet odor product has a nice smell. It is small enough to store easily and does the job . The tank is not especially large and has to be emptied frequently but easy enough to do. I am satisfied with this product.

I 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.

This worked better then a rug doctor or industrial BS they try renting you at the stores. My landlord never changed the carpets boxing in, I couldnt look at it anymore without thinking ewwww constantly. I didnt even want to look down. No have washing, products and vacuuming could of cleaned this, this beautiful. Im beyond satisfied and in love. Thankyou

The best thing about this cleaner was how simple it was, in design and usage. This sucked up so much more dog hair that I wasnt even aware of it being there. The roller brushes were amazing and did a fantastic job, also. It might be a good idea to use this as the vacuum cleaner and then as a stain/dirt cleaner. It is so simple to snap together and use that a child could do it! Just remember this is not a vacuum cleaner when the carpet is wet and you have to run it very slowly across the wet carpet, because it puts a lot of water on the carpet and it spreads pretty fast, so it might take two or three slow drags across to get most of that water up. I wish everything was manufactured as well and simple as this item. Its not really necessary to have all of those bells and whistles on products to get the job done right and they got this one RIGHT!!! Mike in SWFL

I love this little powerhouse. It is light and easy to use. The amount of water picked up equals the amount put out. My carpets have not looked this good in a long time and the house smelled so nice after using it. I purchased a Hoover Smartwash 2 yrs ago. It stopped dispensing the soap after 1 yr. A part broke and I replaced it. The part did not fit properly and I could not suction water up with it. I did a lot of research before buying this Bissell and couldnt be happier. Bigger is NOT always better.

This cleaner isveryeasy to useand does a thorough job! Also, Its easy to haul up and down stairways.

I recently had a different brands product and the engine burned up after a year of having it- literally started smoking. I got this one for about the same price point- and it works so much better! Ive had it for a few months and after getting bad dog food causing runny poops alllll over my house- this carpet cleaner was a life saver! Suctions super well! Carpet dries very fast since it sucks up so well. Does kick out pet hair- but I would prefer that vs clogging the vacuum. I use less cleaner than suggested cause it gets too foamy and will leave a residue if the ratio to water isnt right. I hope this one lasts longer than the previous- Bissell is def my go to brand for all things floor cleaning.

Used a non rotating carpet cleaner that constantly leaked, even after replacing seals and other parts. This unit is easy to assemble and operate. There have been no leaks after multiple uses (about 15 times). The rotating brush is perfect for extracting pet hair and other debris.

The short story is that I am very pleased with this carpet cleaner. It is lightweight, powerful, cleans well, and is inexpensive. It has some limitations, which I will cover later. Will it hold up over time? I will update my review if it fails. new, if you like to read long, rambling reviews, strap in. Prior to this I had a Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe carpet cleaner for cleaning large areas. It worked well but the bearings that ran the cleaning brushes rusted solid after a year or two of use. That machine had a kind of turbine, mounted between two metal ball bearings, which ran the brushes by utilizing the suction of the main vacuum unit. These bearings were completely unprotected from water and failed, as anyone with a functioning brain would expect. This was either a sloppy design choice or an example of planned obsolescence. Regardless, I won’t be getting another Hoover product again. This machine uses a belt powered beater brush like a normal vacuum cleaner. I purchased it specifically because of this and hope that it will stand the test of time. We will see. Now on to carpet. Carpets in general are nasty but they are the cheapest ‘nice’ floor covering out there so many places have them. Until I have the time and energy to upgrade I am stuck with them. They WILL get disgusting if you let them, and by ‘let them’ I mean not shampoo them religiously every few months. I made do with an existing spot carpet cleaner I had, a Bissell Spot Clean Professional (which I highly recommend), after the Hoover failed me, and it did well enough until I got a new puppy. While it was great for little accidents, getting down on your hands and knees to do a large area regularly was very unpleasant. Its also great for vehicles and stairs, which this machine is not, so they pair well. The Spot Clean Pro has lasted me several years of intermittent use so here’s hoping the TurboClean will as well. I used this machine according to the instructions and I have several notes. The instructions say to make one slow pass forward and one slow pass backward while spraying solution and to repeat the process while not spraying solution. End of cleaning, let dry. For my medium pile carpet this left it very wet and with quite a lot of shampoo in it (as evidenced by little bubbles in the pile). I made one slow pass forward and one slow pass backward while spraying cleaning solution and then two to three slow forward and back passes without spraying until the unit stopped picking up much water. This dried out the carpets much better and left them cleaner. Once I had finished the area I then made another full round of passes but only filled the machine with hot water. No cleaning solution. This helped get even more dirt out and left the carpets free of shampoo. If your carpets are very nasty you will have to repeat this process several times until the water comes out clean. This level of effort is required when using any carpet cleaner though, even powerful ones like Rug Doctors. While my puppy has left the carpets quite filthy multiple times (accidents, garbage can raids, the murder of a few house plants, etc.) the has machine cleaned them perfectly and without having to pre-treat the stains. Carpets get truly awful if you don’t religiously clean them so be prepared to work at it, but this machine will get the job done. So, how were the results? Great. After extracting several tanks of what appeared to be chocolate milk from my carpets they look fantastic and, maybe more importantly, smell clean. This was very difficult to accomplish with a new puppy using only carpet cleaning sprays or the spot cleaner. It is also easy to clean and empty. Does it have limitations? Yes. This is the largest Bissell consumer level unit you can get without a stair or spot cleaning attachment, which I didn’t need because of the Spot Clean Pro. That said, its tanks are small, and its cleaning head is not very wide. You will be filling and emptying these tanks a lot and it takes a long time to clean a large area. As expected, without the stair cleaning attachment you wont be able to use this on stairs. I also found the handle uncomfortable. The unit gets rather heavy when full of water and the hard plastic handle tends to mush your little finger after a while. None of these are deal breakers and it is a great value. Some additional tips: The small bottle of cleaning solution (8 oz) that comes with the unit is enough to fill the cleaning solution tank 4 times when following the instructions to the letter. That is enough to thoroughly clean about 50 square feet of carpet; basically, an area that is 5x10 feet. You may have similar results using less solution, depending on how nasty your carpets are. My unit came with a coupon for 50% off and free shipping on a ‘Pet Stain Removal Pack’ No. B0092 from the Bissell website. It includes a full-size bottle of cleaning solution (48 oz), a spot treating spray bottle (22 oz), and a bottle of ‘booster’ for the cleaning solution (16 oz). That kit is normally $37 dollars before taxes and shipping from their website without the coupon as of this writing. The same items separately cost $33 from Amazon, so it’s a good deal. I have no idea how long they will keep doing that though. Keep a paper towel or little baggy handy if you have someone in the house that makes a lot of hair. Pets, kids, significant other, Bigfoot, whatever. Even if you vacuum thoroughly beforehand this machine will clean deep and kick up lots of filthy wet hairballs. You’ll want to pick them up as you go or they will clog the machine. Do not let the tank get too full. Empty it every time you fill the cleaning solution tank even though it appears to be hold much more water, as the machine seems to have reduced suction the fuller the dirty water tank gets. If the machine makes a kind of popping sound and loses suction that means the dirty water tank is full. You must stop and empty it (it is a safety feature, as the dirty water tank would overflow otherwise). Rinse the machine out according to the manual after you finish cleaning, or it will begin to smell. Do NOT tilt or shake a full dirty water tank after removing it. If you do the water will puke out the suction tube and get everywhere. Learn from my mistake.
