[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have three cat's that tend to be ultra messy. This product worked exactly as advertised. "TOPS"

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awful stained carpet from everything you can imagine from our little puppy. Very impressed with how much better it looks after cleaning.

Absolute garbage. Made it impossible to clean the plastic portion where all the gunk gets stuck. They provide one plastic tool which is seemingly the only way to get up into the head and clean it. Even popping the plastic portion off is mostly just for show as it doesn’t expose the gunk trapped in the narrow duct. Aside from that, it’s still trash. Leaves residue on the carpet, the various cleaning solutions made for it smell terrible, and the portion that contains the nasty water is also impossible to clean.

Phenomenal machine. So well built and durable. Saves so much over the "big yellow" cleaning service. Love how it soaks the cleaner on say 3 pull passes and then not pressing button on 3 or more pull passes to suck all of the fluid up. With that method it drys amazingly fast. Great return on investment!

I recently purchased a Little Green machine and was not pleased with the amount of water extracted. As a result, I did research before purchasing 3588. Although Bissell was recommended by Consumer Reports, I checked Hoover. Hoover reviews said it was better than Bissell, but after watching a U-Tube video demonstration, I knew it would put too much water on my carpets and would not meet my standards for extracting water. Bissell exceeds my expectations! It was easy to use, got up stains, and my carpets dried quickly. I used the "express clean" setting and overlapped small areas before moving to another section. The "clean shot" was convenient for visible stains. I then slowly extracted all of the water out of my carpets. Any water left behind leaves dirt, too. I tried to extract more water by moving in different directions and put the machine against the baseboard to remove dust from the edges of the carpet. I learned to clean the cover often because accumulated dirt can spit out onto the carpet. I did not have to empty the dirty water often as some reviews stated. Although I have no pets or children, parts of my carpet had not been cleaned in 20 years! Cleaning four bedrooms and a large loft was so easy I cleaned coral-colored chairs that had not been cleaned in over 30 years. I cannot believe how nice they look! My final test was Karastan runners that I have on hardwood floors. It is very important to control the water because water that penetrates area rugs can damage the wood floor. I recently cleaned these rugs with my previous carpet cleaner and was amazed how much more dirt was extracted. I am happy I added a brush cleaning tray to my order. The measuring cup that comes with it is convenient to fill the water tank, and a lot of dirt came out of the brushes. I plan to clean the brushes after cleaning every room in the future. My only complaints are: 1. The control switch would be easier to use if it was metal, and 2) the power cord is located too low on the machine and could be longer. Weight is not an issue because I took the brush cover and two tanks off when I carried the machine upstairs.

Broken belt on first bedroom leaving me unable to finish just one room. I followed all directions and prepped the room well. Its also a loud machine and i wear ear protection. Removing the belt cover per instructions broke a tab on the cover. Machine is also very aggressive on soft high pile carpet with no way to turn off or even adjust the brushrolls.

I am very impressed with this cleaner. It is extremely well- constructed and is simple to use. Unlike my previous carpet cleaner, lots of thought seems to have gone into making this cleaner easy to handle and maintain. The assembly instructions as well as the cleaning instructions are very user friendly. Finally, it does an amazing job of cleaning my carpets. I haven’t tried it on upholstery yet, but I expect the same excellent results. I wish I had the stair cleaning attachment, but it’s not in my budget just yet.
