I really love this carpet cleaner

I really love this carpet cleaner. It came with a sample size of the pet odor cleaner and I ended up buying a 60 oz bottle of it because I liked it so much. The carpet cleaning is surprisingly light for all that is included. It doesn't turn well, but it is light enough that it isn't too hard to make a turn with the cleaner.

It has worked great for our carpets. I've used the small attachment for cleaning furniture, but because I have pets, I have used the pet cleaning attachment more when cleaning the couch.

Disadvantages: 1) I feel like I am constantly emptying the dirty water since a lot of the container is taken up by the bladder that holds the cleaning solution. 2) The carpet cleaner only maintains the temperature of the water. The model up from this one will heat the water, but I didn't want to pay the extra money. As long as super hot water is put in the bladder then it's fine. If you don't use all of the cleaning solution though it is kind of wasted, or you don't get the hot cleaning aspect. 3) Even with the hair catcher it still spits out pet hair.

Overall a great carpet cleaning, especially for the price. I've had it for almost 2 months and I am happy with it. We'll see how long it takes before I run into an issue.

I love it. It cleans like a professional carpet cleaner.  It is easy to clean and reload with more water/cleanser

I purchased this cleaner about a month ago. A little embarrassing, but my carpets hadn't been cleaned in years. I have 2 teenagers, a husband in construction, and cats. I asked a lot of this cleaner and it delivered. My floors look amazing. Of course there is a few problem areas, and you will need a stain remover, but that's a given anyway. This machine was extremely easy to set up and even easier to use. Also I got the best price ever from Amazon. I paid $139. No shipping, no tax. Amazing!!

I've used heavier, more expensive carpet cleaners in the past and was quite dubious when purchasing this lightweight, non-expensive model. Well, I'm sure glad I gave it a chance. I had called in a cleaning service and was quoted thousands of dollars to clean all of our carpets. With this cleaner I can do one floor a day (takes around one hour and 1 gallon/fill of cleaner) and the results are truly amazing. For heavier stains I went over a few times and most of the old stains are gone! The house smells and looks wonderful. The machine is easy to clean and empty and I'm always amazed at how much dirt it picks up. Only thing missing, I find, is an attachment for the stairs. other than that...I am a very satisfied customer..

I am glad that I choose this model over the professional model.  This one has 2 motors and it does a great job.  My carpet has never looked better.  This cleaner has a big spinning brush that actually fluffed up the carpet, it pulled sand and dust out that my "Dyson Vacuum" and my monthly cleanings with my "Hoover spinscrub 50" missed. The carpet dries really quick, usually in an hour and a half or so.  It is way easier to use/push then the "Rug Doctor" that I had rented in the past and it cleaned far better.  I would recomend this product to anyone with kids or pets in the house.  It was worth every penny.  The only down side is friends have been asking to borrow it ALL the time.

I received my cleaner two days ago and couldn't wait to use it. Read the instructions thouroghly and jumped in.  It is extremely easy to use and cleans great!  Carpet is almost dry after using.  I have three animals and was a little leery as to how clean this appliance could really get my carpets.  (two dogs that are out all day and come in at night dragging dirt with them)  I hate to admit there was actually MUD in the reclaim tank.  This just proved to me how well this little baby really works and again, the dry time is almost next to nothing.  Highly recommended.

Still happy with this product.  I have already used it enough times to pay for a couple of professional carpet cleanings. Works as well as when I bought it.  Loving it!

Wow! This carpet cleaner is amazing! It cleaned a carpet that I thought was a goner! You can't go wrong with this carpet cleaner.

I have 2 puppies and white carpet so this thing gets a work out!  It is so much easier to use than my old model and works great.  I removed one star because it goes through the cleaning solution like crazy, not very efficient in that way but cleans fantastic.

We use the Hoover FH50150 Carpet Scruber about a week ago for the first time, our carpet really needed cleaning.  After using this scruber, the carpet is so clean, you can feel the different when we walk on it.  Money well invested, thanks !!!

I've had this now almost 2 months, and every time I use it, I love it more and more.

I have a house with 2 big dogs and a lot of carpet, which is not a great combination. In the past I've had everything from other upright cleaners, to multiple variations of the smaller versions of carpet cleaners, and hands down this is my favorite.

At first, you might tell yourself that it feels like it's cheaply made because it is light, and it is plastic... but rest assured, it it well engineered and it works great!  I've had zero issues with it and have cleaned up more messes than I should have to in 2 short months.

The dirty water tank is easy to empty without having a lot of debris left over in it, and the clean water tank is also easy to use and holds  a surprising amount of water.

I have owned many carpet cleaners, even a Rug Doctor. I really like this one!  I have serious dog issues and must shampoo A LOT. However I am finding it more and more difficult to lift and carry heavy items.  This cleaner is perfect. It is so user friendly in that the soap and water compartments are separate and you can easily rinse a section with the flip of the switch. I have found that rinsing is so important .  It is so easy to empty and I don't have as many issues reattaching the tank to establish suction again.  Yes the tanks are smaller but I would gladly refill or empty more frequently if it means the machine is lighter and easier to handle which this one definitely is.  I used the stair attachment and it was easy to use as well. The price is excellent especially with all of the attachments that come with it in the bag that holds it all.  The shampoo that comes with it has a great smell.  I was hesitant to buy this on Amazon, but read the other reviews and was convinced. So glad I did!

We bought this carpet washer right after moving into our new home. I have to admit that it was really scary to see what this machine gets out of an actually "clean looking" carpet. We now use the cleaner every other month for our carpeted areas and additionally when accidents occur. I would highly recommend the cleaner to everyone who is looking for an reliable device to deep clean their carpets.

This steam cleaner is awesome. I have been using a kirby shampooer, until now. This works so much better than the Kirby shampooer. My carpets are clean, and the spots are gone. I have lived in this house for over a year and right outside my front door gets really muddy. Well needless to say my carpet by my front door got really gross. The kirby did nothing for it, but this steam cleaner did a fantastic job. I had to go over the area a few times, but it became really clean. I have two young kids who are extremely messy, and in their playroom was some leftover poptart that got squished in to the carpet. I had tried to get it out, but low and behold the Hoover steam cleaner brought it up. I haven't tested the upholstery part yet, but from the looks of the cleaning tool, it will be great. Also I bought this steam cleaner for my mother for last christmas and she loves it too. So far we have no complaints!

I bought this for myself as a Christmas present with three kids under four and two dogs I figured it would be worth it. Yes! It has been amazing. Throw up, poop, spills used to be a huge ordeal to clean the carpet now it takes 2 minutes and it's fresh and cleaner than I could ever get it by hand. Thank you Bissell for making my life so much easier!!

So far, I'm extremely pleased with this product.  It cleans way better than any carpet cleaning machine I've ever had.  What it does that the others have not done is dispense a large amount of the cleaning solution from the upper tank into the carpet and then suck it all back out into the lower tank, which means a lot of the deep down dirt gets out.  I also like that you can then put clear water into the tank and rinse out all the residue.  My carpets haven't been this clean in years.  The main drawback in the design of this machine is that both tanks are quite small and have to be refilled and emptied frequently.  However, I find that to be a small inconvenience when compared to the beautiful job of cleaning it does.

This vacuum has changed my life. It's made my 15 year old carpet in the entry door actually look cleaner, which never happened with my old vaccuum. My niece noticed right away when she came to visit. It has an endless variety of configurations. I've used it so far on my carpet, wood floor, tile, linoleum, couch, curtains, walls, and stairs. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't really stand upright on its own when you set it down in the middle of cleaning. You have to lean it on something or let it fall to the ground. Otherwise, I LOVE it.

I have owned my Rug Doctor spot cleaner now for a few years.  I love it for cleaning car upholstery and carpet.  It works amazing on home carpet and seating with upholstery.  I typically use Resolve spray cleaner with a nylon bristle brush agitation before using my Rug Doctor with the same name brand cleaner.  The beauty of doing this process is that you can remove literally any stain and the results are amazing.  The best aspect of the Rug Doctor finalizing the process is that it leaves the material virtually dry and smelling brand new.  I have removed food and drink stains from cars and dog puke from carpet and this machine is my best tool for the job.  Super compact, well made, easy to use and better yet easy to clean.  I especially love the handle for carrying and longer retracing handle for wheeling around.  Could not imagine a better design.  Best cleaning investment I have ever made hands down.
