Can I use it to professionally clean carpets?

Yes.....The machine is very good we use it for our company...we have already made our money back plus profits...

Probably not. It's good for quick cleanup of spills on linoleum and light daily cleaning on low pile carpet, but I wouldn't want to use this as my sole vacuum.

The DC 39 has great suction and is easy to handle so I think it would be fine for cleaning carpet where pets are but we do not have a pet so I can't comment from personal experience.

Yes, I use it for spot cleaning and it does a great job. It's not very big, and it's light so I like that part too. Drying time isn't too long, depends on how saturated you get the carpet...probably an hour with a ceiling fan on it.

perhaps so. It is the best vacuum cleaner we have ever had and it does a fantastic job of removing pet hair etc. We love it because of it's ability to get under beds, sofas and cabinets. It is also wonderful for cleaning stuffed furniture and draperies. True, you can get a vacuum of lesser capabilities than this one, but in the end, you get what you pay for.

Yes, but best to use professional cleaner unless your machine is extra large capacity and has a delicate cycle.

Not really. It can break up set in stains. Great for grout, grills, floors. It does not suck up dirt, it breaks it down. I purchased a Hoover steam vac from amazon, perfect for carpets. I had a bissell. The Hoover out cleans the bissell by a mile. At about 159.00 it is a steal.

Depends. This is a very low power unit I use on no-pyle carpet to tidy up in a church fellowship area and it does a good job. The suction area is small as is the canister. It's great to tidy up but I don't think I'd use it for cleaning.

Yes. You can use it for light floor vacuum jobs with no wipe attached. You can also take off the floor head and put on attachments for cleaning corners, dusting, furniture etc. I even used it on a small flat rug that I have at my entry way and it did a fair job. Of course not as strong as a regular vacuum. But for daily cleaning upkeep, it's very handy and easy to use.

My answer would be no. You might be able to vacuum up excess water in the carpet but you'd need something else to accomplish the actual shampooing.

Personally, I wouldn't use a carpet cleaner on hardwood floors. Actually, I now wouldn't even recommend this model to anyone since mine is already broken and haven't used/abused this machine enough, but it's long out of warranty I suspect.

I'm not as excited about the suction as I was, when I first purchased the unit. Apparently horsepower (HP) is a bogus metric in which to measure the power of the motor and subsequent vacuum. This unit has about 1/2 the suction as my old red/black bulbous unit, with the same HP rating. So no, I would not recommend it for carpet, other than to vacuum up an initial spill of something dusty/dirty/wet that you don't want contaminating your household vacuum cleaner.

Yes. It does good surface cleaning, not deep cleaning though. It works for scatter rigs because it won't suck them up like a stronger vac will do. While a good shaking out will do a better job with small rugs, this is good in a pinch. I call it an electric broom rather than a vacuum because it does the job as a broom would do, but sucks up the dust & crumbs so you don't have to use a dustpan. You have to empty the canister and clean the filter regularly for it to clean well. This is my second Bissell in about 15 years. I love it!

Yes - mine are berber / looped so it cleans it just fine. I would suspect it may pickup carpet fibers with regular carpets - but maybe a tad more than regular vacuums

I really don't know if you can. We use ours at church on tile floors. And it clean spots out in carpet we found out. Sorry I really couldn't answer your question.

It can if you are vacuuming shag carpet or if canister gets to full or filter gets clogged. These are not meant to do heavy duty work but more for bare floors apartments and throw rugs.

Yes. It works very well on carpets; both for spot cleaning and daily vacuuming. After surgery, I could not handle the large vacuum, so this small one helped me keep things clean. It comes apart easily and works well as a dustbuster for spot cleaning. The crevice device is great for getting the carpet edges clean when vacuuming close to the wall.
