BISSELL SpotClean Pet Pro Portable Carpet Cleaner, 2458, Grapevine Purple, Black

The Bissell Spot Clean Pet Pro is easy to use, cleans deeply, and pulls dirt out of the carpet well. It’s easy to fill and to clean. It’s lighter than a vacuum cleaner.

In defense of the machine, I am a Rainbow Vac user which uses water and is quite powerful at a premium price. Second, I am a Rigid Shop Vac user in my business, so I expect powerful suction when dealing with water. Therefore, The Bissell Pet Pro, faced tough competition at my house. I bought it for convenience and size without checking for a power rating...which I did not find in the description. I like the size. It is Easy to store, quick to the mess. The hand held Stain Trapper is nice keeping the mess out of the big tank, but a few days after using the machine, I discovered some dirty water still goes into the main tank and because I did not clean it immediately, it really smelled when I discovered it. The sprayer was nice to help dilute the urine accident, but at times, it sprayed too wide on to the unspoiled area. If caught early, on my carpet, you can keep the accident area small. However, The big problem and the reason it is being returned is the lack of suction. My Shaw Pet Proof carpet does not allow water or dirt to go though the backing to the carpet pad or floor. Therefore, any moisture stays on the surface to be picked up by a vacuum or carpet cleaner. This shows just how much water is left in the carpet rather than having it hide in the pad. Even the water from an ice cube will remain where it is until it is cleaned up or evaporates. After using the Bissell, the carpet remained very wet and I had to dry the carpet further with a towel. If this is the case, I may as well use my old method of applying water with a spray bottle, use my Rainbow to pick up as much water as I can and dry the cleaned area with a towel....all without the extra expense, just extra manipulation of equipment. UPDATE 12/14/220 I decided to give the machine a second chance (moving from three stars to four) and found by using the regular brush rather than the Stain Trapper, the suction was much better. Because of the good points above: size and convenience I will keep experimenting. I may have to get a short grounded extension cord, however, as I live in an older house and not all of my outlets have been changed to grounded plug-ins.

Works well. The handle feels a bit fragile so I am careful not to put too much pressure on the attachment connection when vacuuming. Easy to set up and clean when done.

First serious use since getting this little machine for Christmas. Had to clean human vomit from carpet. Dust pan for the chunks, this bad boy for the rest. It is slow going to cover the 6-9sq feet that needed cleaned, but all good now.

Are you the owner of a new puppy? Do you have a drooly, old dog that likes to leave his mark? Do you have dogs that like to drag in the dirt from outside? This is the carpet cleaner for you! I just purchased this carpet cleaner as a Christmas present for myself. I needed something in between my smaller carpet cleaner and my upright carpet cleaner. This is the perfect solution. It picks up medium-sized spots easily and has great suction for liquids. I noticed that it has better suction than the upholstery tool on my upright carpet cleaner. One reason I really like this is the size of the cleaner. It holds more solution and more waste water than the smaller carpet cleaner that I have. It makes it easier to clean up larger spills. For example, I cleaned up a spilled glass of orange juice and it didnt leave a stain at all! I didnt even have to empty the waste water tank once. Another reason I really like this is the ability for the cleaner to get into small spaces. It has a smaller nozzle for corners and edges of carpets. My sister used it on her carpet to clean up a muddy foot print. She said, I couldnt believe how easy it was to get mud out of the corner of my steps! So if youre in the market for a new carpet cleaner, look no further! Dont wait to buy this!

Vacuum suction and product is very nice! Helped with the heaviest pet orders!

I like it. Use it for spot cleaning only.

It works well, and does(did, will get to that) a good job of getting stains from my dog out of carpets. Only real downside is you have to scrub at it a bit and the hose can be annoying to clean. However, if you are going to spend $170 anyway for a piece of equipment like this, do yourself a huge favor and spend the extra $10 to get the SpotBot. It has all the functionality of this machine PLUS an automated scrubber. No more manual anything. You literally just set the machine on the spot, push a button, and wait for it to beep, makes cleaning up small spots basically zero effort, no getting down on your knees, no scrubbing. This machine does exactly what it’s supposed to but I could never recommend when that’s just $10 more.

I recently moved and my belongings are in transit on pods coming from another state. The home I purchased currently has carpeting installed over a beautiful wood floor. I plan to remove the carpeting and have the wood floors refinished, but will be using rugs in the majority of the rooms, so I will still need something for small spills. The very day I moved in, my small dog peed in one of the bedrooms. I was surprised because he is 10 years old and has never had an accident before. I guess the stress of the multiple day drive, hotel rooms, and all the changes has him a bit off center. I appreciate that he never peed in a hotel room! Since my previous cleaning machine is on a pod and I have no desire to live with a urine stain in the bedroom until I remove the carpeting, I ordered this vacuum. Let me tell you, not only is there more suction, I appreciate the little separate part that contains the pet stain water, allowing me to quickly dump it and keep cleaning. The design of the entire machine is so much easier to clean than my other machine. I appreciate that the parts snap off easily so that I can thoroughly wash every bit of the dirty water containers and the handheld attachments. I will be donating my other machine when it arrives on the pods and letting friends know to purchase this machine when they get a pet instead. They truly addressed all of the issues I had with my other brand.
