[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BISSELL Bark Bath PLUS – Portable Dog Bath System, 1844W seemed to be a great idea and something I really wanted to use with my dogs. Set up for the unit is a little time consuming the first time but not too difficult. After priming the system I used the BISSELL Bark Bath to bathe two of my dogs. The noise level is that of a vacuum cleaner and my dogs are used to that so they were not bothered by it. I own small breed dogs and the first issue I had with the bathing unit is the size of the nozzle; a bit large for a smaller dog body which makes it a bit awkward to manipulate. My dogs still needed to be towel dried because the suctioning could not reach all of their body areas. I think this bathing unit would be handy for large breed dogs that have larger body areas to clean. It is much simpler to put my small breed dogs in the bathtub and bathe them in just a few minutes which is less time than it takes to assemble the Bark Bath.

The product is simple to use,clean, and set up. I love how portable it is and I love the idea behind it, but it did not do work the best on my saint Bernard. He loved me grooming him with it and actually fell asleep while I was bathing him with the barkbath, but it did not get him very clean as he has extremely thick fur and it could not get deep enough to get all his fur and it took about 2hrs to fully get through his fur. This product is great and I'd recommend it for those who have smaller dogs or people who have dogs with not so thick fur.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was very easy to set up and use. I highly recommend using it in the kitchen, bathroom, garage, or outside, since there is a bit of water that may come off the dog. I have a rough collie and I was surprised at the fact that the solution and rinse water went through his coat to the skin. I did his front legs first both are white and have very long feathering, there was no problem with the hair tangling or getting caught up into the machine. I then moved on to his body, I found long strokes the length of his body shampooing first then rinsing the best way to use this product. It shocked me the amount of dirt that came off my dog since he had a full grooming about two weeks ago. He was happy and didn't object to the process at all. I think it would be sweet for short hair dogs. I did use it on my neighbors cat, leaving the unit a bit away the cat had no objections, not sure if it even knew it was getting bathed, and was purring and making biscuits the entire time. Think this product to be the go to for muddy paws, last minute show clean up, and a quick clean up and refresh.

Bissel MUST advertise the fact that the customer can only use Bissel dog shanpoo. I only purchase non sulfate, chem free, gentle soap for my pets. nice idea, tho. you need to tell people how to adapt other shampoos, eg diluting them, etc. Agree with comments that it is impossible to use on dog's legs. MAJOR problem. Combined use of furminator comb and traditionalbathwith natural, low suds tupe of soap, no sls, etc.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Apologies for this review being later then usual. I was ill for a month and not able to bathe my dog. Here in California in the Valley it is still warm so it was time to give my 78 lb. Shepard Malinois a bath. It has always been a chore to bathe her. Cover the seats in the car, load the dog and her supplies. Arrive at the pet store and wrangle her into the tubs and then repeat to fight traffic to go home! Now it's simple. We go outside hookup and we're good to go!! My life is so much simpler! It is so easy to use, does a great job and there is no stress on my dog. Oh, and it saves so much money. Wish I had thought of this device. Life is so much easier

The grooming system is very easy to use and it cleans my dog very well. I wouldn't stop going to an actual groomer though, it's more for the in between time and for when the dog gets dirty playing outside. It's easier to use on a dog with shorter hair rather than longer but it's still a great machine and I love using it on my dogs.

Does not able to provide my dog with a complete satisfactory bath. Not able to remove the dust and odour completely from the coat. Had to provide my dog with a regular tub bath after every time I used this. Does not stand close to the quality of shower the pet gets in a normal tub. Would not recommend.

I saw the BarkBath Portable Dog Bath System on Indiegogo and had to order it.!! I thought that $149.00 was inexpensive, as I have my Springer Spaniel bathed and trimmed every 30-days. Purchasing the BarkBath System could save me at least $80.00 per month, between my dogs baths and when I need to trim him. It would be fantastic if there was an attachment available to give my dog a "Air/Hair Cut" also. This could minimize the need every two months to trim my dog too.... Springer-Larry

I have 3 Great Danes, 2 of them stood perfectly still without even a collar on and seemed to really enjoy the experience. My 3rd Dane is a puppy mill girl who is very skittish so it will take more time to get her used to the noise but I think eventually, she will enjoy a warm bath. Great product!!!

This would be a great product for those who have small dogs, storage space and a lot of time. Difficult to set up and use. Does not work well on large furry dogs. Requires large storage space unless you take it apart and put in back together for each use. Plan on 1.5 for whole process. Disappointed.
