Our previous machine was a Hoover pet that worked great and when the belt broke and we could not replace we had to upgrade to a new machine. Unfortunately this machine does not compare in my opinion. After only a few uses the sounds it is making has me concerned that it will not last long. The water tank has a large capacity however the waste of water tank is half that and you end up having to empty it shortly after beginning the cleaning process. As far as the cleaning itself, it looks good while wet however as soon as dry the stain reappears so you can tells it's not a very deep clean being completed. For the money this machine cost I am highly disappointed with the machine and results I have seen.

I've owned this machine for 7 months, I bought it because I had 3 cats and a new puppy and she was making accidents on the carpet and I needed something on hand at all times because getting a rental machine from the store was just so inconvenient for something that happened quite frequently. My puppy is long potty trained but having this on hand for any spills, vomit or stains from dirty paws from the animals is amazing and I can't imagine my life without this machine now. I owned a previous model Bissell but it wasn't geared towards "pets" and the Bristles got filled with hair entirely and they stopped spinning completely and I didn't know for multiple uses. This machine never clogs for me and the bristles never stop spinning and it lifts hair and dirty with ease, I use it on the entire carpets 2 times a week and have had no issues with lack of performance, I definitely recommend this machine!

Great product I got to try from pinched.com. I had tuff pet stains and the attachments and cleaner got it right out. The carpet looked great, dryed quickly, and no more stains. Was easy to use with the manual. I would highly recommend it. Worth every penny.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hope o can add a side by side pic! It speaks for itself!!! By the way I researched all the other carpet scrubbers before landing on this one and I'm so happy I did l, it'll save me so much money without having to pay professionals to come do it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best and most important purchases of my life. I recently moved into my dream townhouse and despite the lease saying previous tenant must have carpets professionally cleaned, this either did not happen or didn't happen effectively. I literally could not go upstairs without being extremely upset, and the stench also reached the floor below. It was not habitable for me. Two bedrooms, a hallway, and stairs took a very long time, six hours last night and another six this morning but it was very bad and your technique gets better as you go! I am so grateful for making the right decision. Tank could be bigger, I filled it at least twenty times. You should use laundry detergent and oxyclean for awful situations. Keep an eye on the tank or your efforts will be wasted. Used the pet tool for stairs but ultimately brought the heavy unit down each step. Glad the reviews were legit. Can't wait for my furniture to arrive.

This unit does an exceptional job of cleaning and I totally appreciate the changes in my ability to quickly clean the Bissell! my old machine was difficult to get the pet hair out of various parts of the cleaner and to get debris out of the brush bar shield. Now all the parts pop off quickly so you can carry them to the sink rinse them out and get back to cleaning.i even clean them out several times during the cleaning process. It is also lightweight and easy to use. Attachments are very simple to use and clean very well. I love this machine!

Well, the on / off button works and unfortunately that's about it. Nothing sprays out of cleaner which is probably a good thing since every time I pull back on machine it literally pulls apart. Have tried everything but duct tape to hold it together (won't be going there). I move machine forward, spray button doesn't release cleaner, pull back on machine and am left holding the handle w/ tank attached in my hand. Rest of machine hasn't moved. Thought this would be a great machine. So mad at myself for having gotten rid of old machine.

I love this vacuum cleaner! If you have pets, this is definitely the vacuum cleaner for you. The powerglide makes it vacuuming much easier and smoother. The swivel is great, too! I love how easy it is to empty/wash out the bagless canister, get to/clean the filters. Well worth every penny! I only wish that they would make a longer hose for the lift off.

The machine has a great power and works for deep cleaning, but leaves too many hair of my dog in the carpet specially wet, after you finish cleaning with this machine, you still need to pass another vacuum to aspirate all the wet hair loose in the carpet. For me that's why it's 4 star not 5.

I had an old Bissell pet carpet cleaner that finally stopped sucking up fluid. This one was a replacement. I was happy that this one is lighter and much easier to clean the dirt out of. I like having separate clean and dirty tanks but they are so tiny that I'm constantly stopping to empty and fill. My biggest disappointment is that Bissell no longer makes a machine that has a separate soap dispenser. I really loved being able to shampoo and rinse all at one time. Having to completely empty the soapy water tank and then refill with clean water and start all over is annoying. This machine also does not suck up fluid as well as my old one did when it was new and working well. I wish I could get it fixed.
