Sad to say waste of money. I read reviews and seen a lot of cons, but trusted BISSELL. I have the older model which I love. Since thus is " made" for pets, hey why not? Well, the same complaint , it does NOT suck the water up. I do like how it is lighter than the older ones, but it stinks when you have to use 2 to get the water up. Sad.

This carpet cleaner went above expectations (and they were high). I was very impressed with the machine. I had a carpet cleaner from another manufacture, and was expecting similar results. I was amazed at how much better it cleaned, and how easy it was to clean itself. One thing I liked was the ease with which you can see how much clean water is left. I don't write reviews, but was so impressed I felt I should this time. Thanks Bissell, you have a return customer for sure, and one that will tell his friends about it!

I loved this vacuum! I have two rugs in my house that I had used it on about a dozen times and it was so effective in getting up all the crud that I couldn't even see! It was especially helpful after pet accidents but even routine cleaning, I loved it! However after about 6 uses, it stopped working and it won't suction. Tried all the problem solving steps and it still won't work. Not with the money for the minimal uses.

I am so glad I finally purchased this cleaner. As quick and easy to clean my carpeting as vacuuming. I'm very impressed! I have off white carpeting, and a very old cat with a tricky digestive system. We've only lived in the house a year, yet the white spots on my carpet from spot cleaning were everywhere. I cleaned the living room in the morning and it was clean, dry and spot free in the early afternoon. Very pleasant scent from the cleaner, and the carpet looks and feels great. Cleaned the rest of the carpeting the next morning. My new favorite tool!

I was given this deep cleaner to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. To my amazement this deep carpet cleaner attacked our pet stains full force, and gently lifted all the dirt out of our carpet with a few gentle passes. There was no hard labor involved as the instructions were simple to follow and the heated water feature broke up the mess instantly! I love that this vaccum is easy to use, thorough in its cleaning and brilliantly designed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to clean carpet. There were problems with every part of the machine. The tank kept saying it was full and stopped drawing water. The second time I used it to extract water from my car carpet (there was a leak). Using the attachments it did the same thing saying it was full and stopped. I have always purchased and loved Bissell products. Sadly, I think I need to research a new brand.

I absolutely love this steam cleaner! I typically have a company to clean my carpets, but no more! Save the money and do it yourself! I understand we are all professionals and work long hours like I do, but this is very easy to assemble, even for this single gal, I put it together in no time! Even if you have no pets, this one is the best!

Our carpet in the bedroom had that 'doggy smell' because our dog sleeps in the bedroom with us. I used the cleaner on the express mode and it took care of the odor and dried quickly. Our carpet is about an inch thick, so I was concerned about the drying time, but it dried within a couple of hours and the cleaning solution did not leave any lingering perfume smell, which I like. I also used it in the regular mode for a small throw rug that had stains and it cleaned the stains and left it looking like new. Overall I am pleased with the machine. The only thing I don't like is how heavy it is, but other than that, it's a great machine and does the job!

Well, what can I say. If you live in a house with kids or pets this is a must have. Any spills stains will come up easily with this vacuum. It will keep your carpets clean and will not soak them. I have used it in my car and in my home and it is saved me a lot of money. I did receive this free from pinch me.com But, would purchase in a heartbeat. Having kids and pets this is a must.

Plenty of power for residential use. Tank could be bigger, maybe, there is room on handle for bigger tanks. Could get closer to the wall, but I understand the design, better on the sides than in the middle. Overall, very pleased with performance. More than enough power for the average household carpet.
