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

Meets expectation. Can’t say nothing about reliability yet and will update if run into issues. But so far so good.

This has no bells or whistles and I didnt have high hopes when I opened the package and saw how small and flimsy it looked. But I was pleasantly surprised with the results! Ive only used it 1 time, so I dont know how long it will last, but it did a pretty good job getting all the dirt out of the 1 area rug I have. The cleaning solution that came with it worked great with no residue left behind!

My carpet is very old but with 2 old dogs, I’m not ready to change it now. The carpet cleaner worked great, dried fast, and left my carpet soft. I used solution recommended with cleaner. I was very happy for the results and price.

Firstly, for context I just got this carpet cleaner today and used it for ~3 hours. If I have any issues with it in the future I’ll update. Right now, I’m super happy! I was in the market for a carpet cleaner to clean our nasty rental carpets and to have on hand for pet messes. I poured over the reviews for all the sub-$130 machines on Amazon and this one seemed to have the most positive ones. The machine is very easy to put together and use. You snap the handle together, snap in the dirty water tank, fill and snap in the clean water tank, and you’re ready to start cleaning. If you’re looking for something to clean smaller areas, like rugs or pet accidents, this machine is ideal. I have a small-ish apartment and using it over my whole living room was time consuming and took a LOT of water changes (especially because the carpet was gross), but doable. If I had a large house worth of carpet I would’ve wanted a bigger machine. But for my situation I’m okay with spending more time for less money. If you’re willing to spend more to save time and/or you’re wanting to cover a large area, look elsewhere. Pros: * Very lightweight and compact. * Easy to assemble and use. * Good suction. Cleaned out old stains in my carpet with just a few passes. It pulls most of the water out so your carpets get cleaner and you’re not left with soaking wet floors. * Separate tanks for dirty and clean water. Dirty tank is much bigger so there’s room for suds. Cons: * Small tanks. You run out of clean water and/or need to empty very frequently. It took me about 30 mins to do one pass of a 10x10 foot area, for which I needed to empty the tanks probably 3-4 times. * Small width, so it doesn’t cover very much surface area with each pass of the machine. This also means you spend more time to cover the same area. * The brush is cylindrical and spins like a regular vacuum brush. I was actually surprised at how much staining it got out, but for very dirty or ground in stains you would probably need to pre treat and scrub by hand to loosen them up before using this machine. * No attachments, like you’d use to clean furniture or car seats. Tips for using: * Vacuum VERY WELL with a regular vacuum before using this machine. If you have pets and fluffier carpet, I recommend getting some type of carpet brush to pick up embedded fur. * To use this you fill the clean water tank with hot water plus whatever cleaner you want to use (there is a mark on the water tank for each), then hold down the trigger in the handle to dispense the clean water and let go to suck it back up. * The directions recommend going forward and back with the trigger held, then forward and back with it released. I recommend going forward/back with the trigger held once, then repeat without it held until the carpet feels reasonably dry. The reviews that complained of sopping wet carpets were probably either holding the trigger down for too many passes, or not going back over enough times to suck up water. * GO SLOWLY. Especially as you are pulling the machine back toward yourself. If you go too fast it won’t have enough time to suck water back up. * Use hot water. The directions say 60C/140F. I used very hot tap water. * A little soap goes a long way. IMO just a splash of soap is enough, this was enough to pull up a lot of foam (and dirt) out of my carpets. Just plain water will pull out dirt too. * Do a pass with soap over the whole room, then go back with only water in the tank to get the soap back out. Repeat till water runs clear. * Some reviews complained that the dirty tank leaked. It won’t if you pull it straight up and out of the cleaner and then hold it upright until you empty it. If you turn it upside down then flip back upright it will leak a little out the bottom. Also, make sure that it’s properly attached when you click it back in. * If your carpets are really gnarly like mine, expect to spend a lot of time on them (maybe even a multi-day project as you complete individual rooms). I did 4 passes over the room and was still getting dirty water coming up. If I used an industrial strength machine I probably could’ve done less passes, but I’m willing to spend more time since I saved some money buying this machine. Overall, I think this is a really good purchase IF you know what to expect. Is this a professional level machine with tons of power and a huge water tank? Definitely not. Can you get a professional level clean with this? Maybe, but it’s going to take quite a while. If you want to save yourself some money but have the time to spend, and not a huge amount of area to cover, this little machine is a good option. Carpet cleaner rental near me is $60 a pop, not including attachments or soap. I was willing to spend a little more to just buy this even though I knew it would probably take me longer, the convenience of being able to use it whenever I want is worth it to me.

I love this shampooer it is the first I e ever had that sprays out good but also pulls the water back out of the carpet. AND your carpet looks clean. And not a bad price tag either look at my white carpet again. Easy to use WOW!!! I LOVE IT!!!

Got this while pregnant to give the carpets a good deep clean. It was easy to put together and light weight. Works very well and I was happy with the end results. You need to empty the dirty reservoir about 2-3 times for each cycle from the clean reservoir. It usually stopped sucking up the water before the full line on the dirty reservoir. Other than that is was hassle free and didnt leak or make messes, It was also easy to clean the areas that got dirty. No extra attachments.

You will also want: + Large Floor Fan + Dehumidifier + Air Purifier My Situation: I live in an apartment that is mostly carpet. I have lived at this apartment going on 3 years now and have only vacuumed before. I have two cats and two dogs, one of which is elderly and the other is a puppy. My Review: The instructions werent very good for someone who has never used a carpet cleaner before, though I did appreciate the diagrams regarding how to take it apart and clean it. As far as the actual cleaning, it does seem to work really well, but I can confirm the numerous reviews that it takes many hours for even half of a normal sized room. It is also rather annoying how often you have to dump out the dirty water and add fresh, it really wears your back out bending over a ton and then walking with the machine for hours. For someone who hadnt had their carpet cleaned in years, it took me over 4 hours just to do a 6x6 foot section of my bedroom and I was still pulling up dirty water - be sure to set aside 8 or so hours if your situation is similar to mine and youre attempting a reasonable sized section at once. I will acknowledge that, for the price of this one vs the many others out there, it does its job if youre willing to put in the time and effort. Additional Tips: + Wear Earbuds/Headphones, the carpet cleaner is loud like a normal vacuum, so just leaving a TV on or something isnt good enough. + Wear a Mask if Chemical Smells bother you. Though the Bissell Pet Pro with Febreze smells better than just the Pet Stain and Odor one, both are really strong and gave me massive headaches. + Keep a window open. Even if the Chemical Smell doesnt bother you it really helps to have fresh air during the cleaning and after.

I love this carpet cleaner. I can’t believe all of the dirt it removed. This unit is lightweight and easy to assemble and quick to clean. To me, it’s just as good as the professional machine we used to rent, but it’s much easier to use and clean. Can’t wait to use the attachment on my furniture.

This is about the easiest rug shampoo cleaner I have ever had. Congratulations Bissell for making it so easy to clean. It is amazing how it cleans the rug. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a very good rug shampooer.

This little machine is amazing! I have 5 cats 2 small dogs. I didn’t clean this carpet since I bought it 1 yr ago. It pulled all this dirt out of carpet. AMAZING! Great purchase for myself.
