Compact and Powerful

This cleaner is pretty great given its compact size. I don't think it is as powerful as my old upright wet vac, but that is to be expected. After moving into a much smaller home, I needed a spot cleaner that did not take up as much space as my upright, and this is perfect. The spray cleaner works really well. An added bonus is the ease at which it comes apart to clean. It took about a month to get here (and two separate shipments) but I'm happy it finally made it!

Great in theory

I purchased this right when it came out, so I'm assuming I have Gen 1. We purchased another for my grandmother several months later and a few features are different, like the charging port and color. Im assuming that one is gen 2. This review is about my purchase of gen 1. Hers seems to be working fine but we haven't used it more than three or so times. I also cleaned the contacts on hers immediately after opening. I had A LOT of problems with mine in the beginning. It would turn on then turn right back off, even fully charged. I called support, she walked me through the best she could for a product she didn't know much about (I purchased immediately after release). I could get it to work some times, but not others. I kept assuming the tank wasn't seated properly. Turns out, I cleaned the contacts inside (2 metal rectangles) with a q tip and some rubbing alcohol and it started to work immediately. I went to turn it on today and it's flashing yellow at me and will turn on then turn right back off. I'm going to break it down, clean the tanks and contacts again, and put it back together and see what happens. But honestly, as much of a great Idea that this product is (I would use it religiously if it worked reliably) I just get so frustrated even trying it anymore. Mostly because I'll spray the solution and then have no way to extract it. That's annoying. Also, the spray bottle of cleaner it comes with isn't really enough to make the stain went enough to extract much at all. I ended up making my own spray bottle of cleaner and a lot of water so I can thoroughly wet the spot enough to get the stains out. It works much better and is much cheaper.

May be good for extracting a spill or something, but for cleaning it doesn’t use water and only use the spray detergent and does it work real well you use a lot of detergent

Don’t waste your money or time

It worked great for one month. Stopped working completely after that. The red light just flashes. They know the product is bad, they don’t even give you the option to return. Save your money and stick with the little green bissell.

Sensor renders product useless

Charge time 5 hrs for 15 min of use. Sensors are so messed up, I could wash and dry perfectly to the video instructions and I still get a sensor error stating I have a dirty or missing tank. Then when I try to find other troubleshooting online, the internet is filled with the same crappy ads. I tried refunding it 37 days after buying and they declined my request. Do not buy this product.
