Bought this machine to use on upholstery suite. Started to look a little grubby – this machine brought it back to life – fabulous. Really easy to use – the oxy liquid that comes with it smells great. This is a 5 out of 5 review!
I bought this because my cat has a sensitive stomach and I rent with a cream carpet. Nightmare.
First time using it – So easy to understand the instructions! The vomit had been dried on over night and the carpet pile is quite thick too, so I was a little worried, but it was so easy. I just filled up to the markings and away I went! Gone in a couple of mins. Plus, it fits away so easily in the cupboard. Its going to save so much time and effort, good bye all the buckets and “cat sick only sponges and gloves”.
Only down side is the hose looks like it wont last very long, but I’m sure if youre gentile with it, it’ll be fine. For the price, I think you’d be an idiot to think you can just yank this thing around.
Well worth it!!
Waited until I used the cleaner before I wrote a review, our two recliners are 6 years old and were pretty poor looking due to heavy traffic so we invested in some covers to hide them ! Cleaner was easy to set up and get going, if you don’t constantly keep your finger on the trigger so you don’t soak each area it’s great, more I used it the less liquid was used. You do need elbow grease to get the stains out but it’s well worth the effort, each chair took about half an hour to do. I have done them both twice and I will be doing them a third the next time we have a warm day as it must have take around 24 hours to fully dry. They do smell better and the fabric feels so much better. You could use them on the stairs and small areas of room carpet, also be useful clean up any liquid spillage.
Does the job fine if only cleaning a small area or a spillage.
I was surprised how good little carpet cleaners work very good I would recommend i
I bought a car and after I got it home I realised the seats weren’t leather they were so filthy that they looked like leather, I am pretty convinced that the previous owner must have driven with his dog on his lap because even the seat belt stunk.
This cleaner was brilliant and it made a huge difference to the seats. It was worth every penny, didn’t drench the seats, it left the seats quite dry. So glad I bought it!
Used mainly on the upholstery in our motorhome. Very easy to use and cleaned well. Sucks up most of the liquid, surfaces left only slightly damp. Got out lots of invisible dirt.
Very easy to use ideal for cleaning my car interior done a great job on seats and carpet.
Good all round bit of kit, could do with a bit more suction no problems apart from tha
Machine was easy to put together and operate. Bought this as my car seats still smelled after child was travel sick in the car. Very happy to report that the smell has FINALLY gone. Also gave this a whirl on my other seats and it got out an old coffee stain. Needless to say that the water tank came out dirty so very satisfying getting rid of the stains of a family car!
Word of warning. The dirty water tank is tricky to fully clean out, some creative swishing will do the job though. Plus it’s worth cleaning the brush vacuum element as it does collect grains of dirt from where the vacuum missed.
This is a great little device, and works a treat.For those small carpet spills then this machine is ideal.
Kids have a habit of dropping anything and everything onto our sofas and smearing it in. Luckily this cleaner is excellent and brings it back looking like new, easy to use and not too bulky for storage. Only slight downside is it is very noisy. But I would definitely recommend
Got this after fighting for my money back twice over spot cleaners that arrived broke or not up to the job.
This machine is a joy to use and has taken the stress out of my life. I am a disabled animal owner so accidents are part of my life. There isn’t a week goes by without the Bissell spot cleaner coming out. It cleans my sofa, mats, pillows and carpet of stains and spill marks. It’s also quite therapeutic watching the dirt disappear to leave a nice clean area.
The carry handle and shape means it’s very easy to transport and store. I wash it out after every use with a certain disinfectant known for producing a variety of scents and sometimes put a spot of it into the cleaning water too. Well done Bissell …You Rock!
I am so satisfied with my new toy!
It cleaned my carpet perfectly, it’s easy to use and take not space. What not too love.
I tried so many products to clean my kitchen carpet and nothing worked, this carpet cleaner removed easily the new stains and fade the old sturdy ones.
Wow – this has got to be the best cleaner we have purchased! We have a stand up VAX which has seen better days so got this for smaller spills. It’s so useful, it’s super portable, very easy to use and much easier to clean than a stand up (especially the VAX which gets really dirty in the main suction head compartment and you cant get to clean it). This comes apart so you can clean the hose head properly.
It’s great for getting spills and accidents up from carpets, so far we have used it on cat pee (on a sofa no less – used the Bissell Pet Stain and Spill treatment with it and after going over a few times it’s now fine), many spilt coffees on cream carpet, and even a bowl of cereal on the sofa (poor sofa, getting abused but the clumsiest family) and thank goodness no stale milk smells. For that one we used the regular treatment you get with the cleaner and was great.
So when you spill something or find a pet mess, you can quickly whip it out to head over to get it on the job straight away.
Would highly recommend this, and a bit of advice, I usually rinse it through with some clean or treated water a few times if you have cleaned up something particularly nasty, to clean it though, but remember to let it run for a few seconds with just air, to try to dry out the hose pipe itself to stop any algae forming inside it.
Love it.
This has been a godsend for removing the various “spills” and stains that come with owning two Jack Russells.
Easy to use and very well designed for a small flat with little storage space.
I find it very easy to use and maintain. Also, the brush has not caused any damage to the carpet as one might expect from such stiff bristles.
One use on a long term stain and the carpet looks like new.
After taking delivery of a 3 piece sofa, it really needed a freshen up. The Bissekl Spotclean Proheat stood up to the job as you can see by the previously “its bern cleaned for you” results.
Great machine.
Excellent product, the soap doesn’t smell of much (disappointed) but my car came up like brand new. I have two boys under ten and under the car seats is a sight to behold. Cleaned the lot. Had to go twice on stubborn marks but did the job.

I have a detailing company and its fantastic to use for car seats and carpets
over the years I have used different vacuum cleaner,s and this beats them by miles
If I could give 50 star,s I would
Outstanding
The best machine ever every household should have don’t hold back is easy to clean sometimes my 12 years old daughter uses it as well I absolutely love it the solutions clean super good buy this is a great buy this is a game changer I cleaned my carpet and I though it wasn’t that dirty when I empty the dirty water I was shocked how dirty my carpet was amazing cleaning produc
I have a cat that pukes at least once a week…this has saved my sanity and my cats life.
Easy to use and works very very well.
Cracking product don’t hesitate. We have cat who chooses to wee in new areas and is often sick thanks to grass. This little beauty cleans and freshmen right away. Easy to clean, easy to use, highly recommend. Solid but portable
I wish I’d got this years ago! We recently hired a rug doctor to clean all our carpets because our latest rescue dog had had various accidents before settling down to being fully house-trained. The day after my poor husband had finished cleaning all the carpets in the house and returned the rug-doctor to the supermarket, the flipping dog went into season!! So I got this cleaner to clean up the various blood-stains decorating the living room and our bedroom. I was so impressed by it – powerful, effective and really easy to use. It was definitely worth the money and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to clean up occasional spillages and stains, especially if you own pets and they have accidents from time to time. With 3 dogs we definitely need it.
Great product, does the job. Used on my sofa and could not believe how clean it came up.
To be honest I didn’t think it would be as good as it is. Tried it on a old light grey and white large rug and yes it took a few goes but it has come up so bright and clean. I tried it on this as thought if it can get this looking good it can do anything. I would definitely recommend
I am in love with this product. I used it to clean my mattress, it was simple to use and has really freshened it up giving it a new lease of life. Left the window open during the day at it dried within a few hours.

I have young grandchildren and fabric sofas. Need I say more. Does the job well, neat and easy to store.
I had been looking into buying a wet vacuum for my stairs for some time. The dog apparently likes to vomit on my carpeted stairs, and only there – never on hardwood floors. Despite cleaning it every time, there were unsightly and smelly stains left behind. A friend recommended this particular vacuum after he used it in his car.
It came quickly and with an instruction manual that was easy to read and understand. Setting up the small machine took only a few minutes. I filled it with the water and put some of the cleaning product that came with the machine into it and set to work. It took probably 10 or 15 minutes for the carpet to become completely clean! Slowly, the stain lifted and the vacuum was easy to use; you squeeze on a small trigger to spray out water and then drag the bristled brush back over the wet area to suck up the moisture and the stain. It lifted and my carpet looked amazing afterwards!
I would highly recommend this product, especially for carpets and rugs. I have yet to use it in my car or on any other furniture like sofas or pillows, but I can imagine it would work just as well. Wonderful piece of kit every household should have!
Perfect for small arias witch is handy with children only a cupple of things it could do with a different attachment for stubborn arias and a lock for spray button would of been amazing other than that no complaints
It will leave water/tide marks if you don’t suction out enough of the fluid. It did leave a noticeable difference to the cleanliness of the sofa. Maybe my expectations were too high but I thought that it would make the sofa look almost new again, and for the most part it did that, but there were still some stubborn messes that were not completely gone after drying. Perhaps a second wash would get rid of them but I’m just too exhausted after doing the chaise part of the sofa, maybe in a month.
Does what you expect it should. The only criticism is that the machine instructions tell you to look at the cleaning solution bottle for amounts to use and the bottle refers to the machine instructions. So it’s a bit of a guesstimate!

With 2 puppies this was a life saver for spot cleaning accidents also for stairs and car love i
Having young kids there are often small spills, bit the bissell spotclean does work well on these. I went for this machine over the pro due to the heat technology, but this is really unnoticeable and the water never feels warm, even after a long use. Having said that it does still clean well. Some stubborn stains may require some scrubbing and a second pass with the spot clean, but overall very happy with the results.
Absolutely brilliant little machine, cleaned my three piece suite beautifully. Looks like new
I use one at work that’s why I bought one for home, and find it easy to use and fill up. For the money very handy round the house for spot stains. Also going to vallet the car with i
Bought to clean a large corner sofa – rather than hiring out from Rugdoctor. Obviously more expensive initial investment but worked really well and cleaning was very effective. And I can use it when I want!!
Love this fantastic and easy to use. I was unsure about how well it would work but wow was I wrong. My carpets look good as new
WOW something so small but gets the job done, My darling dog has a habit of going to garden then races upstairs leaving mud prints up every step,I have a cream stripe carpet ,This little machine had it done in 20 minutes, So easy to set up an use the suction is brilliant an the brush is strong an sturdy, Come with 2 small bottles one spot cleaner an a booster ,Love this machine well worth the money .
This little carpet cleaner does exactly what it says on the tin. Easy to use, all cables and pipes wrap around the product when not in use, fits in a cupboard. I would advise you buying a full size cleaning product with it, as the sample size is small. I used it to clean a carpet stain, and from unwrapping it, to putting it back in the cupboard was literally 10 minutes. A great machine.
I bought this for my son and daughter.in law as they were forever borrowing ours we’ve had ours for years. It’s been used many times for cleaning carpet spots. 3 piece suites etc
So highly recommend
It’s everything you ever wanted. Quick to assemble with the appropriate fluids, easy to empty, easy and quick to use and extremely effective. Better for small areas than those big monsters rhyming with Max which take ages to clean and are complex to assemble and dissemble.

I was a little confused by the cold temperature of the water though, as I expected it to heat the water. On a little research I discovered that it’s intended for you to put hot water in it, rather than it actually heating the water.
I found the nozzle quite hard work as the tough tube it’s attached to (non-adjustable, fixed to the machine) seems to want to face UP and my wrist grew tired having to grip it so tightly that I could force it to face down so that it stayed in contact with the cleaning surface.
It works well though and I’m generally very pleased with it.
I love this item, it could have better suction but for something so small it does well. Great for steers, and furniture. Big spaces you have to keep emptying and re filling.
Love this, spraying the gun on the stains and watching them dissolve and run and then disappear is satisfying. I did my entire bedroom using this. Only down fall I have are
1) the waste tank doesn’t fill very high before it needs emptying, a little below half way (when it needs emptying it stops the suction
2) the hose feels a little flimsy
Now for the good bits
1) stains come up brilliantly, little to no effort and no scrubbing needed
2) the water maintains its temperature, I put hot tap water and it came out the spray the same temp as was put into the tank
3) the liquid solutions are bigger than expected, I didn’t follow the guidance, and I used a lot less fluids than recommended and found it did brilliantly so decided to stick to that amount each time I filled up. I refilled about 8 times and still have fluid left over
4) it isn’t ridiculously noisy like most machines, probably slightly quieter than a vacuum cleaner
5) the carpets aren’t left drenched, they are left ever so slightly damp and soon dry after an hour or 2.
6) it’s so easy to store, brilliantly designed and doesn’t take up loads of room.
I would really recommend this product to anyone, my carpets where covered in printer ink, foundation, lip gloss, and plenty of other liquids (youngest caught playing with makeup)
I did scrub to remove gloss and I seriously didn’t ever expect it to come up,and it did.
Highly recommended, especially if you have kids, pets or anyone messy, or even old carpets like mine, I never ever realised how dirty it was until I had see the black tank.
Product is good but instructions are rubbish I would prefer written instructions not diagrams which make no sense at all
Bought this on a whim after reading an newspaper article about how effective if was cleaning car seats. Came in very handy over Christmas when a large glass of red wine got spilt on an pale coloured upholstered chair. The Bissel spotclean was fantastic and totally removed the stain following about 30 minutes work. The chair is good as new and would otherwise have gone on a skip so the spotclean machine has effectively paid for itself already.
Absolutely stunning piece of kit. Easy to put together, just attach the two tanks to the side. I also bought the slightly larger brush and some febreeze scented shampoo also from Bissell – would recommend these as I used half a bottle for my first go but anticipate will need less next time. I have a large corner sofa which I have had over ten years. I adore it but it had started to look grubby. An hours fun with this machine and I am the proud owner of a bucket full of sludgy water and a sofa that looks like the day I bought it. Be light on the water trigger as it dispenses plenty. My sofa was spotlessly clean and dry again within a couple of hours. Amazing.
I use this every Sunday for 2 hrs to clean the mess that my two toddlers make. My velvet sofa and my fabric dining sets are still in my flat thanks to this machine. Perfect for stains, beyond, pens, paints, food, ketch ups, strawberries any stain you name it.

Great little machine with two cat vomiting machines in the house is in constant standby. Cleans up mishaps with minimal fuss and leaves the carpets clean and refreshed. Only complaint in came with minimal instructions which were clear as to how to put it together but nothing on how to use it!

This easy portable machine is ideal for small stains/patches and very easy to use. It is smaller than expected but works well on what it was purchased for, would recommend.
What’s to like about this ? Well everything I used it on a rug that had some stains on it. It took them out straight away with no effort. My son used it on his car seats they came up like new he couldn’t believe the difference. It’s so easy to use suction is good plenty of cable and it’s easy to clean when you have finished using it. It’s a bit pricey but i think its worth every penny
I really love this product. We have 2 young dogs and this machine has been able to clear up stains that even an upright carpet cleaner couldn’t! It’s so compact and easy to store and so easy to use. Messes are cleared up quickly and our furniture and carpets look like new. The cleaning products which go with this product leave a fresh smell. It’s now my favourite cleaning product!!
I have to say what’s not to like, I was looking more for a mattress cleaner than carpet/upholstery cleaner. But have this compact seriously powerful little cleaner. I wanted more than a steam cleaner for my mattress cleaning looked for other mattress cleaners and most had horrid reviews. I took a chance and bought this knowing I would still need it for carpets and upholstery on an as and when basis. But mattresses every 3 months or so. Seriously came out like new, I can’t show before and after but spilt some tea which went through to the mattress also, came out completely. Had to treat twice as was stubborn but when dried, you would never know it was there. Only down side it came with only the small attachment, so had to get the larger head separately. To include that would be good. An excellent investment.
The instructions were very poor, but once I figured out how to use it, it did exactly what I needed.
I bought this to compliment a new Vax Compact carpet cleaner to do the carpets along the edges and stairs. It exceeded my expectations, removing the darks edges of the bedroom carpets and a first class job on the stair carpet removing all stains, did a great job on the upholstery of my dining chairs. I would highly recommend.
Absolutely an amazing machine. I used to clean a sofa bed that was really in a very bad condition with stains of dirt and was not cleaned for over 3 years. After using the machine it looks like almost brand new. It’s unbelievable the difference. I definitely recommend it.
The instructions are modern – pictures only but could do with written back up – it definitely works because of the dirty water at the end of use in the reception tank
Never realised how dirty the car seats were until I used this on them now going to use it once a week
Have not tryed yet has it did not come with any trial shampoo in box but look ok I have now used it I found it great cleans up old stains very well would buy again but dont need too has I am happy great job
I bought this cleaner purposely for the car seats and carpet, i was very pleased with the muck that came out and into the cleaner container, it would have been nice if the company gave a larger cleaning fluid, than one that will only probably last about 3 cleans.
I love this little cleaner! It’s light and easy to fill with solution/water and easy to clean. Very quickly got out any stains we had in our carpet after our pup had gastroenteritis (it was horrific). I’ve used it since to clean our sofas and curtains.
Like other reviewers, we have cats which have a habit of vomiting on the carpet. Using sprays often left stains and we relied on getting the carpet cleaner in every few months. With this unit, I can whip it out and clean up any messes really quickly with no stains or residues left on the carpet. One tank cleans about 2 square metres so it’s certainly not a replacement for a larger unit but it does mean we only have to get the professionals in every six months or so. Just ordered the 6″ tool to complement the smaller 3″ one which comes with the unit. The only issue is the need to plug it in but having read the reviews of the Vax battery powered equivalent, I think it’s worth the hassle to get the better suction.
Bought this to clean upholstery on various armchairs and the results are amazing. It’s so easy to use, not at all heavy to carry around and the water coming out of the chair is satisfyingly (and disgustingly) brown! The only problem I had was with the picture only instructions – I’d have liked words too. I wasn’t sure whether the machine heated the water or whether you add the water at 60 degrees as indicated in the slightly confusing pic. But I just looked on the answered questions section here and it seems you put the water in at the temperature you need it. Happy cleaning!
I love this machine! So easy to assemble. Very clear instruction booklet. For very dirty carpets you do need to clean two or three times. The first time brings out all the dirt from below so carpet looks a bit dodgy after first clean. But leave to dry then clean again a few days later and carpet looks great! Also the compact size of this machine makes it easy to store away in a small flat. Brilliant item!!
Very good spot cleaner, it actually cleaned so well that I ended up trying to do the entire hallway. It really gets the carpet clean and it is very easy to use.
Love this little machine. Bought it to keep on top of the dirt on my cream car carpets, but have since used it to clean an armchair, sofa cushions and stairs. Perfect size for those awkward spot cleaning jobs …. best of you’re using it on upholstery, don’t leave the retreat too long otherwise it just soaks in!
Like the ease of use from room to room picks up mess nicely dont like having to get down on knees to use if they had an extension
Pipe that you could fit would be perfect.
After debating whether to purchase a new suite or to invite a Professional Cleaner to my home, I decided to give this machine a go. My suite is still very comfortable but very dirty (I blame our 2 dogs lol). Within minutes of using this machine, after very easy assembly, I was amazed at the difference it made to an armchair, followed by a nasty stain on a large rug, followed by anything I could find within the home that needed a little clean. Brilliant machine, very impressed.
This machine is super efficient at cleaning small patches on the carpet and rugs. It’s easy to empty and it’s design makes it convenient to store. I find that it has slightly less suction than another cleaner that I had, but to be honest, what it provides is more than enough. Would definitely recommend.
It’s perfect ! It is small yet powerful so easy to use and great size to store when not in use
I was very impressed after first use and even more impressed at the condition of the carpet after cleaning. I couldn’t believe the colour of the water after cleaning I had no idea my carpet was so filthy! I will be using this regularly from now on! Oh the carpet wax dry in an hour too!
Mostly I liked the manoeuvrability of this gadget; it is small enough to sit on the stairs if you need it there and is very light weight to carry upstairs to a bedroom also. It is, however, only useful on fairly small areas but then stains tend to be on not very large bits. Expensive for what it is though, but I guess it does what it is supposed to do.
This will not replace an upright carpet cleaner but for spot cleaning on fabric or carpets this seems to do a decent job. Only used it 3 times so far but easy to fill with detergent/water and easy to empty. Doesn’t seem to leave carpets as dry as uprights but only really designed for small areas so less important imo.
I’ve had one of these previously and it lasted about 15yrs until it finally gave up. (Older model)
Is I’ve bought this & it’s as good as the old one,
The only thing is that I’m sure the new hose is not quite as long & this can really get on your nerves as you have lift & move the unit as you move around the item you are cleaning.
This Bissell Carpet Cleaner is a convenient and effective cleaner for small spills and stains in the home. So far, it has proved effective for red wine, dog stains , mud and mysterious smudges on carpets and upholstery in cars. It works best if the area to be cleaned is dampened, not soaked, with water beyond the area of the stain before using the cleaner. This blends the cleaned area with the surrounding fabric and avoids a halo effect. The cleaner head is about 7 cm wide, so is at its most effective as a spot cleaner for accidents rather than spring cleaning. A useful tool for the household arsenal.
Despite all these minor criticisms, I am very happy with the machine and can’t wait to try it on the car upholstery.
I didn’t want a big cleaner because I would have no where to store it, so after reading the reviews I decided to opt for this. I wanted it for cleaning a large rug as well as a large three seater sofa. Its easy to assemble and to use, its also really easy to empty and rinse out afterwards which is great. But as others reviewers have done, I found it very hard work doing a large area and It wasn’t easy to evenly clean it. Although I could see the dirty water tank filling up which was really satisfying, and also shaming which made me feel glad I was cleaning it!. The attachment head the cleaner comes with is small to make it more suited for doing a sofa or chair. As it claims, it is a spot cleaner, and I have found it ideal for cleaning spills and stains. The more you spray the water/cleaning product onto an area to clean, the longer it takes for it to dry. It took a couple of days for my sofa to be completely dry and even then I had to get the hair dryer on it to speed it up. I think it is something I need to get better at using. I’m pleased with the machine overall, and it does what it claims. It just isn’t for large areas, so it wasn’t quite what I was hoping for, you definitely need a larger machine for that. There may be different sized heads you can buy, I’ll have to look into it.
This is definitely only a spot cleaner, not a full carpet cleaner. It’s really effective for the accidents my cats have occasionally, including some old stains which came out just fine.
I liked this product because it was so easy to carry about, and a long enough electric cable …… suction was great, and most of all, it got rid of the stains on my carpet…
So very happy. The Bex Bissell carpet products did the trick.
With pets and grandchildren, there are lots of spilt drinks, muddy and dirty marks etc! This little machine is perfect, easy to use and so handy, saves me dragging my large machine out! I love it!
This is a great machine for small spills/stains. We use it after our dog has emptied his bladder during an epileptic fit and find it work very well to stop stains occurring. The only down side is that it isn’t automatic like my previous bissell spot cleaner which no longer seems to be obtainable.
A teensy bit expensive for what it is though, so -1 star.
The best way to use this is to spray cleaning solution on the carpet before and leave for a few minutes, then use a drill brush to agitate before vacuuming up the dirty water.
Regular liquid washing detergent and Vanish work effectively and are cheaper than the branded solution.
