Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet Carpet Cleaner, 2987,Green/ Black

Used a non rotating carpet cleaner that constantly leaked, even after replacing seals and other parts. This unit is easy to assemble and operate. There have been no leaks after multiple uses (about 15 times). The rotating brush is perfect for extracting pet hair and other debris.

Firstly, for context I just got this carpet cleaner today and used it for ~3 hours. If I have any issues with it in the future I’ll update. Right now, I’m super happy! I was in the market for a carpet cleaner to clean our nasty rental carpets and to have on hand for pet messes. I poured over the reviews for all the sub-$130 machines on Amazon and this one seemed to have the most positive ones. The machine is very easy to put together and use. You snap the handle together, snap in the dirty water tank, fill and snap in the clean water tank, and you’re ready to start cleaning. If you’re looking for something to clean smaller areas, like rugs or pet accidents, this machine is ideal. I have a small-ish apartment and using it over my whole living room was time consuming and took a LOT of water changes (especially because the carpet was gross), but doable. If I had a large house worth of carpet I would’ve wanted a bigger machine. But for my situation I’m okay with spending more time for less money. If you’re willing to spend more to save time and/or you’re wanting to cover a large area, look elsewhere. Pros: * Very lightweight and compact. * Easy to assemble and use. * Good suction. Cleaned out old stains in my carpet with just a few passes. It pulls most of the water out so your carpets get cleaner and you’re not left with soaking wet floors. * Separate tanks for dirty and clean water. Dirty tank is much bigger so there’s room for suds. Cons: * Small tanks. You run out of clean water and/or need to empty very frequently. It took me about 30 mins to do one pass of a 10x10 foot area, for which I needed to empty the tanks probably 3-4 times. * Small width, so it doesn’t cover very much surface area with each pass of the machine. This also means you spend more time to cover the same area. * The brush is cylindrical and spins like a regular vacuum brush. I was actually surprised at how much staining it got out, but for very dirty or ground in stains you would probably need to pre treat and scrub by hand to loosen them up before using this machine. * No attachments, like you’d use to clean furniture or car seats. Tips for using: * Vacuum VERY WELL with a regular vacuum before using this machine. If you have pets and fluffier carpet, I recommend getting some type of carpet brush to pick up embedded fur. * To use this you fill the clean water tank with hot water plus whatever cleaner you want to use (there is a mark on the water tank for each), then hold down the trigger in the handle to dispense the clean water and let go to suck it back up. * The directions recommend going forward and back with the trigger held, then forward and back with it released. I recommend going forward/back with the trigger held once, then repeat without it held until the carpet feels reasonably dry. The reviews that complained of sopping wet carpets were probably either holding the trigger down for too many passes, or not going back over enough times to suck up water. * GO SLOWLY. Especially as you are pulling the machine back toward yourself. If you go too fast it won’t have enough time to suck water back up. * Use hot water. The directions say 60C/140F. I used very hot tap water. * A little soap goes a long way. IMO just a splash of soap is enough, this was enough to pull up a lot of foam (and dirt) out of my carpets. Just plain water will pull out dirt too. * Do a pass with soap over the whole room, then go back with only water in the tank to get the soap back out. Repeat till water runs clear. * Some reviews complained that the dirty tank leaked. It won’t if you pull it straight up and out of the cleaner and then hold it upright until you empty it. If you turn it upside down then flip back upright it will leak a little out the bottom. Also, make sure that it’s properly attached when you click it back in. * If your carpets are really gnarly like mine, expect to spend a lot of time on them (maybe even a multi-day project as you complete individual rooms). I did 4 passes over the room and was still getting dirty water coming up. If I used an industrial strength machine I probably could’ve done less passes, but I’m willing to spend more time since I saved some money buying this machine. Overall, I think this is a really good purchase IF you know what to expect. Is this a professional level machine with tons of power and a huge water tank? Definitely not. Can you get a professional level clean with this? Maybe, but it’s going to take quite a while. If you want to save yourself some money but have the time to spend, and not a huge amount of area to cover, this little machine is a good option. Carpet cleaner rental near me is $60 a pop, not including attachments or soap. I was willing to spend a little more to just buy this even though I knew it would probably take me longer, the convenience of being able to use it whenever I want is worth it to me.

This baby did my whole upstairs. Takes a little longer than my older huge one BUT keeps the water warmer and so easy to take apart and clean. Does a fabulous job cleaning and gets into small spaces! Such a great price and I am very pleased. Make sure you use their brand of cleaner for thsi machine. The spot cleaner just use your own. Great price and easy dragging up the stairs or lugging water tanks around. Smaller is better for women or even seniors!!

This was delivered @ 2pm, just perfect. I needed it because my dog had diarrhea during the night, and of course it hit the carpeting. I cleaned up as best as I could and then sprayed the spots, and waited for my delivery. Very easy to assemble and use. All the spots are gone! Thank you

This is about the easiest rug shampoo cleaner I have ever had. Congratulations Bissell for making it so easy to clean. It is amazing how it cleans the rug. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a very good rug shampooer.

Feels quality for the price and it worked extremely well. People have said it’s a pain to refill the small water jug but in my 700 sq ft apartment I believe I refilled it about 4 times- which isn’t bad. Also the dirty water jug holds multiple bottles of liquid so you don’t have to dump that one each time. Time will tell if it lasts - but I’m feeling good about it. I just make sure to clean it after every use.

This machine is much nicer than I the older model and works fantastic my large 7x 5 and my 8 x 10 and 3 x 9 runners. Great great does a good job cleaning and so much easier to clean the machine. To bad they moved the on/off switch but that is minor. Worth every penny.
