I bought this because we have carpet in our basement. And i thought the floor was ruined thanks to a leaky basement. But i bought this and the carpet was saved. I have bought alot of carpet cleaners in the past. But none of them were this powerful or cleaned as good as this did.

It took me four uses before I thought it would be fair to write this review. The Pros for me are the long cord, easy to use/clean, size of the machine, and powerful suction for a deep clean and to reduce drying time. The first time, I tried the express setting, used the hottest tap water and measured the cleaning solution properly and did not achieve the expected results. I could hardly tell if it accomplished anything. We have a few heavy-traffic areas and frequent spills so I knew there would soon be another chance to try it out. The second time, I used the heavy clean setting and added a little more than the recommended amount of cleaning solution. I was happier with this result but thought I might still have to occasionally hire a professional. The third trial was disappointing but I feel it may be unfair as a test compared to normal home use. Our special needs daughter is six and was very quick to spill pancake syrup on a bedroom floor with off-white carpet. The ease of getting out and turning on the machine made it a fast response but the syrup was very difficult to suck up. After several passes, there still remains a gray area where the stain is. I will have to try a harder chemical cleaner and deeper-reaching tool to remove it from the fibers. The fourth trial was what I was hoping for! After putting it off, I decided to give it one more run. I used double the solution and used the deep clean setting. It took about an hour and a half and three tanks of water to cover three rooms and a hallway of carpet. I passed over heavy traffic areas 2-3 times and used the spot sprayer when necessary. I was careful to pass over with the suction a few times, especially in heavily treated areas and was very happy with the results! I am extremely pleased that it dries quickly. This extensive trial was completely dry within a few hours.

I did a lot of research before I bought this machine and I am so glad I bought it!! I had stains from my dog on my carpet and I had to get rid of them. I am so pleased to say I cleaned my carpet and all of these stains are GONE. I did follow the directions EXACTLY as noted by Bissell. I will use Bissell if accidents occur to avoid problems in the future. I do think this machine could be used to clean an office if you work in a building where you are responsible for your space. As far as having problems pushing the unit, I had absolutely none. It was easy to fill the water/cleaner tank and empty the dirty water tank.

I highly recommend this carpet cleaner! I was a professional cleaner for a couple years and I've never used a cleaning system that works better than this. I let my neighbors barrow it and they are hooked as well, and purchased one! Very happy with my purchase and use it weekly!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 10 year old carpet was professionally cleaned in January .. since our new puppy arrived in March, I've been spot cleaning accidents with Power Dash carpet cleaner. The carpet was looking worse instead of better. Last week we purchased the BISSELL PET Pro 35882 and have cleaned all my carpets. Wow...they all look and feel even better than when they were cleaned in January!

I have two dogs that sometimes forget the carpet is not the lawn. I clean up urine and the occasional vomit accident. I pretreat the stain and use the Pet Pro Carpet Cleaner to clean the soiled area. Carpet looks new although it is over 15 years old. The carpet never smells of pet odor; I can't say enough about the great cleaning this little machine does. It is far superior to the older Bissell carpet cleaners I have owned and so easy to clean. I love, love, love it!

I researched various carpet cleaners and I decided to purchase this one due to it met a lot of the qualifications I was looking for. It worked great for a week in which I used it once. The same on the second try. The third try was a disaster. It started up brush turned but it would stop when I pressed the water release button. No scrubbing action nothing. I purchased this item brand new. l took it apart, cleaned it and put it back together. It wasn't dirty because I cleaned it after each use. Needless to say I had to return this unit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have always spent good money for a great product! We have this new one from Bissell and it's a complete joke! Cheaply made just unbelievable how awful this carpet cleaner is! It wont suck up the water put on the rug so I had to use 3 towels! It is so flimsy the hose is a complete joke it doesn't stretch and it's the worst kind of plastic on the whole machine it feels like it's gonna fall over and melt on its own.

I clean carpets for a living and have never experienced a clean like this before in one shot and in half the time. This machine is very easy to use, is light weight and doesn't leave the carpet soaking wet like most machines. I love the pretreater feature especially because I have 5 active kids and a puppy. I also love that there are adjustable cleaning modes, one is for a deep clean and the other is express clean. Drying time for both modes are very quick and even quicker if you use a fan while you're working. I recommend to anyone with carpet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish my 20 year old Bissell cleaner still worked! It cleaned much better and I always had about equal amounts of water in the dirty tank as in the clean tank...meaning it sucked up what it put out, This one left about twice as much water in my carpet! Also hate that the attachment hose is seperate. It was much easier to store it and dry it when it was attached. They did make this machine easier to clean brissels ...that is nice. But I am probably gonna return this because it is clearly leaving behind alot of muddy water
