This carpet cleaner works well on daily stains and is super easy and compact to get around. Only issue is with really difficult stains, you need to spend some time soaking and repeatedly cleaning to get it removed. Overall great product for the price.
I have only had the product a few days and used it to clean the sofas, rugs & stairs and I was happy with the results. I hope the quality stay and its durable over time.
I bought this to suck water out of my cars carpet after the boot leaked which it did very well, have since used it inside on stains which it has done very well.
A robust powerful deep cleaning machine. Surprisingly so. Very impressive cleaning action and string suction removes the water thoroughly back out of the carpet. Floor dried clean and fluffy with no remaining smell. Once dry hoovered over and smelt as good as new. Absolutely delighted and saved a full room carpet now does not need replacing. Compact shape for storage. Highly recommended.
Bought especially for smaller areas (recliner seat, stairs etc) and works really well. After one go the stair carpet looked a lot fresher. It’s easy to use and the results are immediate. It does leak a little around the handheld section and when you are getting the tanks in and out but ours is very minor. Not enough for it to be a malfunction.
Pros:
* Amazing Suction: Impressive suction capability for thorough cleaning.
* User-Friendly: Easy to operate, leaving fabric almost dry with no lingering stain marks.
* Versatile: Ideal for extensive use, even on larger areas like mattresses, with patience.
Cons:
* Fragility Alert: Handle with care; avoid using hot water to prevent plastic tank melting and warping.
* Spare Parts Solution: Squares & Spares offers quality, affordable spare parts for UK users.
* Hose Caution: Be mindful of the hose to prevent cracking; avoid pulling forcefully.
Recommendation:
4 Stars: Life-Changing Fanatic Product
This Bissell spot cleaning pro shampooer offers transformative results, making it a fantastic investment. Although it boasts amazing capabilities, its fragility warrants careful usage. Employing a mixture of pink stuff and water, I restored my mattress to its whitest state, even combatting ink stains. Additionally, this tool effectively tackles pet accidents, with the odor-prevention solution deterring repeat incidents. A minor learning curve aside, it earns a resounding 5-star recommendation, with any shortcomings attributed to user adjustment rather than product performance.
So that was good enough for me. I have used it on the carpets as home when spilling coffee and the results were fantastic and have also used it on my HGV truck seats which were incredible results! My sister also used it for a chair she picked up on marketplace and was that impressed she ordered 1 for herself.
Bought on sale to keep my carpets fresh in between professional cleaning. Used to hire a machine from a well know brand from my local supermarket however I have to admit the bissell has given a better result.
The only downside is that the suction could be a bit stronger but it only take a few extra passes to get most of the water up. love it !!!
It arrived packaged well, really powerful suction. Cleans carpet on stairs really well. More high trafficked areas need going over a couple of times. Only downside as for 4 stars it is very loud. But works great!
Just used this machine bought in 2002 never used but today I needed to because of my dog being greedy and swallowing his food to quickly then throwing up so I decided to to use my carpet cleaner and I’m so happy with this machine so easy to use it brought up the mess up so easy and clean I’m just glad I bought this machine better than my vax upright carpet cleaner .
I’ve got an aging dog who’s having a few accidents of late. If this is a sign of things to come I thought I’d best be prepared to remove the accidents. With not having many carpets in the house I decided the spot cleaner would be a better option.
Having tested and successfully cleaned an offending area the product is that good that it highlights how dirty the rest of the rug is. I now need to get a carpet cleaner in to tackle the job lot.
So. It’s great at what it does but because of the nature of what it is it will highlight that the surrounding area aren’t quite as clean as you’d have thought.
I recommend this for the right uses but wish I’d bought a bigger carpet cleaner with nozzle attachment.
It’s pretty horrible!
This, is what you want though. Having used a Vax machine on carpets in the past I was pretty sure I wouldn’t like what I saw. You think it needs a BIT of a clean, then you do the job, and the resulting dirty water is fairly off-putting. But this is the colour of success of course.
If it produced clear or mildly cloudy waste water there wasn’t much dirt in there at all. Filthy brown, means it was worth it.
Before I did this effort on my new/used car purchase, I’d been using a sponge and rags and washing-up liquid. I spent two hours on just the fronts seats and headrests and realised this had been a fairly heavy smoker’s car with the first try at drying a bit of the seat with kitchen roll. It came away that classic yellow/tan nicotine colour.
In fact, literally the only part of the car that escaped this assault by tobacco was where the driver was sat all this time. Now the question arises, why didn’t I smell this? I’m afraid the used car dealers have discovered the wonder of ‘ozone bombing’ a car’s interior.
Now, they don’t need to rely on dangling de-odorisers or actually doing the effort of valeting the soft spongey seats, they just put the ozone-maker/ioniser in the car for a few hours, and the smell has gonebut the stinking actual source of the smell, the dirty nicotine/tobacco film, has seeped into the first layer or so of seat materials and I cannot sit on that. I won’t ask my family or let my family, sit inside that.
I’m not paid by the company, I have no benefit from this review, except I am just pleased I got some muck out of the textile covering of the car seats, the carpeted rear floor panel of the boot, and the sponge underlayer of the seats too I think probably is worked on.
It smells nice afterward, the dirty mucky water produced cannot be faked, it really works. It takes effort of course, and this was just the first shot at it. If you only have a car for a week you wont bother (eg car dealer) but if you made what is a big purchase to yourself, or are just proud of your vehicle, this is the right tool to clean it up.
The use is simple, clean tank sends soapy water down the pipe to the attachment by a pump, and the attachment almost immediately sucks it back up. ALWAYS wet the surface first with the spray-trigger, because it’s got tobe wetted for it to work.
Clean detergent water, shoved through the fabric/carpet, and dirty water sucked back up into the dirty tank. Pull the dirty tank off, empty it nowhere near your sink, use a street drain or the toilet bowl – it’s pretty horrible gunk sometimes.
So this little Bissel unit, was almost immediately loaned out to my daughter, who suddenly decided her sofa might need it (was us refusing to sit down a hint?!). Which is good. Textiles and foam used extensively in furniture and car seats, really hold smells and the source of smells.
Tips I have: use warm water. Use the right stuff to put in the water, it foams well when aerated by the pump, but if you use this stuff without a proper device like this, it doesn’t foam much at all. My car seats were pretty damp afterward, so I put a heater in there (it has a safety tip-over cut-out switch too), a small one and cracked the windows just a bit.
I gave the seats a really thorough wetting with this cleaner unit, and so them still being damp a day later, even with the heater is not to say this could be avoided. I just put a towel on the seat – use one that matches the colour if you don’t want it obvious – and then resumed the heating and venting once I got back home.
This is a device I THOUGHT I might possibly benefit from using, because I was about to buy a new (used, new to me) car. They have been universally filthy, the ones I had to try out, and big, posh cars are at least as bad. Often, used cars get handed around or illegally hired-out for cash I think, and nobody doing that’s going to clean them.
If you want to know if a car or carpet or other surface needs cleaning, just get a nice white bit of kitchen roll, soap it up, and rub it around on the surface of the seat, curtain, carpet or whatever, and see what comes off.
I almost guarantee it won’t come away pretty, that piece of soapy kitchen roll. It’s a really satisfying job and as I say especially good for used cars where the dealers have found a low-effort way to mask or deceive buyers about the state of the car’s cleanliness.
Plus, if it is too much to afford, you will easily find someone to club together with, like other tenants in the same house, or maybe a family member, and that makes it easier to afford. I got the three-year guarantee/warranty option, because for 15 including accidents, that’s good value.
Take care all.
to start with i would recommend the following addition items: non-rubber knee pads (will leave marks when wet), a separate scrubbing brush, and a spray bottle. Personally i like to pre-soak the area with the detergent using warm water and the spray bottle, leave it a few minutes then scrub to agitate the dirt, then use the machine and its clean water to rise and lift the dirt.
The machine itself is easy to use, just make sure the cap on the clean tank is screwed tight as it points down.
The power lead is heavy duty and a good length to keep you, machine and water away from the mains.
Suction lead is a little on the short side for my liking, but ideal for stairs and furniture. One of the reasons i recommend a separate scrubbing brush is to reduce wear and tear on the hose where it meets the handle (as many others have mentioned this is a point off weakness). You’re going to be down there scrubbing either way, you might as well get a comfortable scrubber for the job.
The unit itself is on the noisy side but its understandable. the motor is trying to suck up water, not just air. and its pumping water to the handle too. the machine is compact and easy to use, though there is no locking function on either tank so dont knock it over. Hose and power lead stow away nice and tidy and the handle is held securely in place.
results: are fantastic if you are willing to put the work in. a few hours work has made an off-white bedroom carpet and a grey corridor carpet look like new and completely removed high traffic dirt marks. like any of these machines it does not leave area completely dry but with the help of a fan on low power, 2 hours later its dry to the touch with bare feet.
over all verdict? worth the money if you’re willing to put in the effort. these compact machines are there to aid you, not do it for you.
Cleaned the foot stool. very dirty especially on the corners. Good points, powerful, sucks well and leaves little cleaning fluid on the item being cleaned. spray works well and delivers a lot of fluid. The brush is reasonable, maybe another row of bristles would work well. Cleaning heads seem a little counter-intuitive. The working order is, suck in front then brush then spray. Personally I think spray, brush Suck makes more sense. I sprayed, turned off the machine, scrubbed then turned back on and sucked. It worked well. It is loud but I’d rather an effective tool that a quiet one! It does what was expected. I would have liked a slightly longer hose. The electric lead is nice and long. Personally I don’t think it’s too heavy. It packs away neatly. Overall I’m happy.
Have previously borrowed a friends cleaner but with the purchase of my new puppy decided to buy one for myself. The cleaner has been very useful and is so easy to use ! Very good value for money and the cleaning product that I bought to use with it smells lovely! Suction power is very good and the carpets are almost dry to the touch. I used it to clean my sofa cushions and they have come up amazing clean!
I’m glad that finally I got it. Works very well.
Really good but prefer if it comes with Vanish as the stuff with it not that good to clea
The unit is very portable especially good for stairs, the one negative I have is that it is quite noisy
Product arrived in bissell box and not double packaged which is always a plus when getting rid of cardboard. The unit itself seems well made and comes with a small sample bottle of cleaning fluid which should last a long time. Bought for cleaning cars it has a 1.5m hose which allows great access and two water tanks one clean water other for dirty. It comes with two nozzles big and small. The small is excellent for getting into car upholstery and carpets while the bigger one more suited to household carpets. Suction power is great and car was dry in about 2 hours. Cleaning of the unit after use is easy, clean bucket of water suck ut up through the nozzle and it cleans all the dirt out the hose stopping any long term smells. Vary happy.
I will use it on my car interior, my sofa and chairs, my headboard and all spills on carpets.
This machine does exactly what it claims to. Easy to use, does the job really well and quite strong and sturdy.
Noisy and could do with wheels and longer hose !
Does a good job though Iv cleaned 2 cars and stairs and some mats
Absolutely great machine, my sofa has never been as clean, however you should probably buy ear defenders with this as the noise is serious
Bought because “I wanted one”. Initially I wanted it to do the car mats and seats. Did the car mats in the sitting room one day I was bored and they came up excellent. I then turned my attention to stain on the carpet that I had tried to remove with a Vax, to no avail, years ago. Boom!!! Stain gone!!!!! I then did the whole sitting room carpet and then the stairs carpet too……… Very good machine, but thats born out by many great reviews and youtube videos too.
I was not sure thought it would be cheaper for a rug doctor loan but the reviews stirred me, i purchased and I am super pleased. Everywhere is cleaner and my sofa a large corner fabric is back to new!! Its actually good to have and once or twice a year if that give the carpets and sofa a nice new lift. Highly recommend!!
To be honest. I mis bought, I should have gotten something to more easily do larger spaces, I didn’t realise this was for small bits.
I think this spot cleaner and a proper carpet cleaner would ideal.
We used a lavender soup. Not the little bottle that came with it.
Took a long time, we used an additional brush which was key, we went over areas a couple of times.
When we moved in these stains were there. Over 3 years ago. We think it was puppy urine.
Now all gone!
Works very well as it moistens dirt and sucks it away. Very noisy though.
I needed to be able to freshen my carpets as I have two elderly cats, this works well for me
This has been an absolute godsend, completely removing all stains etc from our carpets. We also have 2 dogs who are occasionally taken ill on them & the spot cleaner completely removes any trace of an (either end) accident within minutes ! Makes effortless to clear up what would otherwise be a long messy clean up. I generally only use warm water without detergent on fresh spills but have also used detergent to successfully remove historic stains. No reservation in recommending !
Bought this not expecting much it’s fantastic did our sofa n was disgusted how much dirt it collec
I have used this to clean my sofa, Wow my sofa looks brand new. Cannot wait to do my stairs and landing.
Great product, have cleaned the car, caravan seats, stairs and couch with it so far. It’s as good as any professional cleane
Does a great job- light, easy to use and powerful enough to get the stains out…as long as you use good product along with it. As a cleaner I highly recommend.
The Bissell spot clean pro is a great for stairs, upholstery and rugs. Easy to use and leaves the area clean and dry.
Really easy to use, quite powerful for a little cleaner! Cleaned my stair carpet really well, and some areas of living room carpet and rug that were getting engrained with dirt where people were sitting next to. Really great product! Would highly recommend.
Bought this to clean dark grey fabric dining chairs and remove a small mark on lounge carpet. This is very noisy but really goes the job! Actually embarrassed at what came out of our four year old chairs! Highly recommended but of kit!!!
So easy to use and brought our carpet up lovely!!! Couldn’t believe the colour of the water when I finished, didn’t think it was that bad! Now… I’m going to have to start on the couch!
Not too heavy and very easy to use. It brought my hall and stair carpet up a treat.
I had read all the different reviews and decided to choose the Bissell Spotclean Pro despite some negative reviews.
I certainly wasn’t disappointed.
Quite impressive with this as you always unsure about buying something you may only use once then disregard it, but exact opposite used it every week since purchased and works really well especially on car seats
Great size, good sucktion. Unbelivable how well it can suck the dirt out of my sofa or rug. Next step – cleaning the car. Definitely recomend it as it will do the job up to your expectations.
We got this machine to clean our sofas and rugs, we don’t have carpet. The sofa is quite dark in colour, had no stains but I kept on sneezing every time I sat down. Well, it did survive building work and while I vacuum it regularly, I guess dust and dirt have settled. I don’t see much difference on the sofa itself after cleaning it but the dirty water said it all, it was nasty. I love this machine, it didn’t leave the sofa wet much but it’s now clean and smells fantastic.
The carpet cleaner is so easy to use, very easy to set up.
There are 2 cleaning heads which are different size, so ideal for carpets, rugs, stairs, cushions. The list is endless where you can use the cleaner.
I like that you could spray the solution onto carpet then go over it to take the water out of the carpet. So it didn’t take too long to dry.
It will fit in a cupboard as not too big and it’s not too heavy.
It is very noisy, earplugs needed kind of noisy.
I am very impressed with car seats after 10 mins with this handy tool, they look like new.
Included bottle of cleaner is very small, suggest buying a larger bottle together with the machine.
This machine is really powerful. I’ve had some stains on my carpet I couldn’t get out. From my child, my old dog, and from my back door leaking. I’ve used this machine and they’re gone. It doesn’t leave your carpet soaking wet either. The cleaner solution smells nice. It is very easy to use and to empty. The tank when full covers a bigish area. I’m really impressed.
This is my second machine as the first had a faulty handle that snapped when I phones amazon customer service the problem was resolved in a matter of minutes, customer service was excellent a few days later and I received my new machine.
Bought this in the hope of it helping my awful stairs carpet. I didnt actually think it might get any of the stains out of my very worn old carpet but it has. It’s amazing and brought it up amazingly. It’s very easy to use. Can be a bit heavy when full with water but its fantastic and great for the money.
Easy to use on all areas around your home. The clean & dirty containers are easy to change. It’s refreshing to see a dirty / boot stain or mud stain be removed before your eyes. I also washed my sofa covers & then cleaned the sides with my bristle cleaner. My 5 year old sofa looks new.
We borrow our sons Vax upright carpet cleaner when needed but now have this one for emergency spills. Its performance is just as good as the bigger machines upholstery attachment. Its great on car seats and carpets, i must admit i was influenced by “The detail geeks” Utube videos! The drill brush is the ultimate weapon used with this machine.
Its fine. just buy (or mix) some suplement and use hot water. you can use this recipe ( not necesarry i [personaly use common landry stuff with littlebit vinegar 🙂 enjoy it
2 tablespoons (30 ml) of liquid laundry detergent
cup (59 ml) of liquid all-purpose cleaner
1 scoop of OxiClean
1 teaspoon (5 ml) of fabric softener
1 gallon (3.8 L) of hot wate
On receipt, I gave the sofa arms a quick spruce up. The difference was very noticable and the waste water was suitably filthy.
You don’t need to press hard or work it vigorously so the head should not need to snap. Press the button to squirt the water and firmly and calmly move the head back and forth. It works a dream.
It’s a little louder than my vacuum cleaner but it’s not excessively loud.
I recommend this machine. Top stuff.
Decided to test this on day two after spilling soy sauce on our cream carpet! (Facepalm). Worked an absolute treat cleaning the stains and following that we’ve done a full refresh on all our carpets and they’ve come up looking great. You don’t realise how dirty the carpets really are until you use this and look at the water afterwards
The machine itself is small and ideal for many jobs. However, the hose is quite short when you consider how loud the machine is. You can’t escape the ear defening noise level. I had to take breaks because I have personal limitations to how much I can do. When I turned the machine off for those breaks I couldn’t hear prooerly in the ear of the side the machine was on. I teied pounting the air flow vent away from me and so on to limit the noise but it was still so very loud. Some may not mind this but some folk may find loud hoover type noises difficult.
The cord was long enough for my use. The tanks are a good size. I cleaned a large square area and only had quarter of the refuse tank filled up.
I haven’t used the small attachment as I was cleaning a larger section of carpet. Not sure I would ever need that one. I would have liked some on board storage for it but there isn’t. Not a hige deal breaker for me but I do have a habit of putting things somewhere so I don’t lose them as I might need them one day, then when that day comes it is nowhere to be found.
I read a review that said the attachment snapped under the preasure they were applying. But you shouldn’t apply preassure too much. You need air flow. You tilt it back away from the brush. If you apply lots of preasure then you cut off air flow and then there is zero suction. Same with a hoover. If you put your hand over the hose of a hoover it can’t suck air up and the motor freaks out and strains itself. Likewise with sucking up the water. You need airflow for the machine to suck upwards. Add lots of preassure and to cut off its ability. So tilt back onto the clear plastic area but don’t push down to the floor too hard.
The machine doesn’t dry the carpet. It is not a dryer. It removes liquid enough for you to be able to air dry the carpet or fabric quickly. It should take 30mins to an hour to dry a whole room carpet with doors/windows open, good air flow and not raining outside to make the air flow coming in damp. Your best way to dry fast is with carpet fans or even just fans to get air flowing around the room. A dehumidifier as well would dry things even quicker. The faster you can dry the carpet after the better results. I use a 20L per day dehumidifier and one floor fan for a medium room if doing a whole carpet.
This is a great machine. We had a flood from the flat roof above. We have burgandy carpet and there was a whitish deposit in it from the flood water. It was also dirty and going smelly despite drying it out withing 48 hrs. Wish I had this machine to suck some of the flood water out but at least I have it if we get flooded again. I washed just a large square to test it out and it looks great while wet. Not sure it can rescue my carpet and I will need a new one but at least it got out a whole load of dirt and whatever the whitish powdery stuff was untill I can replace the carpet.

Small and fairly lightweight does a great job of cleaning small spills and stains on carpet and upholstery a godsend in a house with a dog and a baby.
The brush attachments are particularly good and better than found on other similar products in the past.
Can confirm removes biscuit smudges and formula spews effectively.
It’a good product but i expected more power from it.
A minus is that it doesn’t have wheels so it’s kind of hard to handle.
I thought I’d give this machine a go after reading the reviews. I must say, I’m very impressed. The photo above was a small piece off hallway carpet which didn’t look dirty at all, as the carpet is only a year old. The Pro’s definitely outweigh the cons.
The pro’s
Easy to assemble and set up
Just use warm tap water and a small amount of Bissell carpet cleaner.
Easily slide the crevice along your carpet
Doesn’t leave carpets soaking wet
Dries within a couple of hours
Leaves carpets smelling fresh
Quite a long cord
Cons
Being on your hands and knees to clean carpet as the cleaner is small
Quite noisy
Tank not very big for water, so have to keep topping up
Thought it would be on wheels for easy manoeuvrability
Pipe not very long
I definitely recommend this product for small jobs. Definitely wouldn’t recommend for a large room carpet, as it would take way too long and you would have to keep topping up the machine. I’ve used it on my headboards, rugs and carpets and it’s done a fab job.
Brilliant machine, easy to use. Brushes on nozzle really help with stains. Little noisy ,but understandable due to power of motor. Only negative is extraction hose needs to be slightly longer.
Great product!
Completely renewed the sofa and chairs.
Some things I think would make that product perfect:
– A larger cleaning container than the dirt container (I find myself filling the cleaning container more than emptying the waste container, and for some reason the waste container is larger ..)
– Place in the device itself to store the extra handle of the cleaner. So I’m sure I’m not losing him.
Its very easy to assemble and use the only thing i dont like is that its very loud
Love this product! I needed to deep clean sofa, mattress and a few rugs. I have a carpet wet vac by VAX and this spot cleaner is soooo much better! Really easy to use. Very help full to have a bottle of cleaner with it. Wire is long so you can go far. Very very easy to clean! I was so amazing by how much this thing got out! Totally worth it and a must have in the home
The first SpotClean Pet Pro I ordered was faulty and had to be sent straight back. I thought the problem was that the trigger didn’t work properly as it hardly moved and no spray came out. On reflection, I think it had a faulty pump as the trigger on the replacement sent by Amazon (very promptly) also doesn’t squeeze very far but, by contrast, sprays well.
Just hours after the carpet cleaner arrived, one of my dogs was sick in the middle of the night after a fun day of eating stones, twigs and other savoury treats in the garden. I have owned a Bissell Big Green for about five years and find it excellent for cleaning a whole carpet but far too big and cumbersome to haul out just for spot cleaning, especially in the middle of the night. It was a relief to have the SpotClean to hand as it is lightweight and quick and easy to use. The pet mess cleaning tool is a real bonus as it saves having to clean up the mess by hand before shampooing and prevents the inside of the hose and dirty water tank from becoming too soiled. It took me a little while to get used to gauging exactly where to hold the cleaning head for the spray to hit the right spot and the best angles for holding the head for using the brush and and vacuum. The cleaner works best if it is held fairly lightly and used slowly. On the whole, it did a pretty good job. There is a small, faint stain remaining on the carpet which will probably come out next time it is cleaned.
While I was pleased with the ease of use and general performance, there are a few points worth mentioning which could do with improvement. First, the cleaner is quite noisy and could wake others in the property, and probably neighbours too, if used at nighttime. Second, for some bizarre and unfathomable reason, Bissell have stopped putting the helpful two filling lines for water and cleaning solution on the clean tank. There is now only one line for water and and instruction to add 2 fluid ounces (approx 60ml) of cleaning solution but no measuring cup is provided. I used my digital kitchen scales and a cup from another appliance to measure the correct amount of solution but if you haven’t got either to hand it would be sheer guesswork. Third, it looks as if the transparent cover on the pet mess tool can probably be removed for cleaning after use but is so fiddly to remove that I gave up. My manual dexterity and eyesight are not what they used to be. Finally, the design of the machine is small and neat. It comes with the normal cleaning head and the pet mess tool. One can be attached to the end of the hose and left in place but there is nowhere on board to store the spare cleaning tool. In my house it stands the risk of being found and chewed up by one of my dogs, the fate of so many other loose cleaning tools. For these reasons I have knocked one * off the score. Come on, Bissell, just a few small improvements would make the SpotClean Pet Pro an excellent cleaner!
I’ve just used this on my car seats which were covered in mud and stains from kids, dogs and my all weather walking and they’ve come up a treat. One tank was enough to do the whole car – boot as well! I had to go over one or two areas that were deeply soiled. The seats now look like they did when I first bought the car and the whole car smells fresher. From now on the occasional clean should keep those seats spick and span. Now to tackle the house carpets.
I’m gobsmacked on how good this little machine actually is! I’ve had a vax platinum power wash for a few years now and it kept braking or the suction wasn’t good enough on the hose. After seeing loads of videos of this on tiktok I though bugger it I’ll give it ago. The suction is 100% better and won’t be buying an over expensive vax again!
My bedroom is all white, including the carpet. As a consequence you can imagine the entrance way gets dirty far sooner than the rest of the room. A huge whole room sized cleaner was not suitable since I only have carpets upstairs in my house.
This little gem is fantastic. Perfect for my needs and allows me to keep on top of the high traffic areas that need spot cleaning . I highly recommend this little machine. Nice and compact and fits well and out of site under the stairs. The liquid it comes with is good too. I also put a few drops of fabric softener in the cleaning tank.
It’s really loud just a heads up but it gets the job done I uses the large attachment to clean my carpet and it turned out grea
I purchased this so I didn’t have to keep throwing out rugs after my dog rubs his back on them . Over time the rugs began to smell and needed to be thrown away .
I purchased this and on the first day I cleaned a rug that my uncle had in his spare room for over 40 years never cleaned . The bissell spot cleaner brought it back to life and looked really good
All carpet cleaners are loud because the government don’t impose noise restrictions on carpet cleaners like they do on vacuums. And this machine is no different, it is loud but does a fantastic job and is really easy to clean .
The suction is strong providing you have the water tanks seated properly and in place . The hose could be longer but it’s not a problem moving the cleaner closer to the work area. I got this on sale which made the purchase even better . It really does lift the dirt out and drying time depends on how much water is sprayed on the material. You just have to suck the water out until no more is being sucked up
The unit is small enough to be stored virtually anywhere and doesn’t get in the way .
Cleaning is easy . Simply suck up some clean water which will clean the pipe . Empty the dirty water tank,suck up more clean water ,empty the tank . That’s it !
Only use cleaning solution that is made for machines,they produce low foam . Too much foam kills carpet cleaners . There are cheap brands of cleaning solution that are rated for machine use so you really don’t need to keep on spending on expensive liquid. As long as it produces low foam and is rated for machine use it’s good to go. It should tell you this on the label or in the manufacturer’s description.
Excellent results! I bought this spot cleaner as a full size would be too big for what I needed. Sturdy product and easy to use. I used it to clean whole rooms and stairs (sits perfectly on standard stairs so no need to hold machine as you go) and although it’s a hand and knees job, the results are worth it. Would highly recommend! I tried dirt busters carpet cleaner but must admit, the bissell cleaner has best results, slightly more expensive but cuts cleaning time.
Brilliant little machine, i was surprised at the power it has. It is quite noisy when using, but it cleans extremely well & has powerful suction to draw out excess moisture. When finished, cleaning is quite quick and straight forward & to clean the hose through, you can simply put a little clean water in a bowl, put the hose in and switch on, obviously making sure the dirty water tank is in place. The rest is easy, rinse out the tanks and dry, give the machine a wipe over & job done. Also nice and small to store, hardly takes up any space. Am still planning on getting a larger machine for the main carpet areas, but for small stains, stairs, upholstery etc, this is perfect.
Hey BMW. Who ever thought cream floor mats was a good idea? The marks were really spoiling the interior. I bought this cleaner with low expectations but it has given the carpets and seats (which were really stained and grubby) a new lease of life. It’s strangely satisfying to use. Watching the dirty water build up is fascinating and disgusting in equal measure. Buy it, if only to find out how dirty you are.
Pros: effective, satisfying process, value for money, compact, easy to operate, long cable and hose, big tank capacity, nifty features to keep it compact for smart storage, amazing free carpet cleaning solution tester provided, perfect for animal lovers, easy to clean, fast drying time (2 hours max), works well on carpets and furniture, breathing new life into old carpets and furniture which saves money from no longer needing to buy new or replace, quick to clean the areas that need attention, attachment heads are well made, top quality, saves space compared with a stand up carpet cleaner, clearly able to see all the dirt that’s been picked up from the colour of the water.
Cons: these are MINOR in comparison to the pros. Very noisy – my cats are really scared of it and I can’t use it past 10pm (I’m a night owl) because my neighbours wouldn’t be happy with the racket. I can’t use it as a spot cleaner because it’s too good at cleaning so the rest of the room looks dirty meaning that a 5 minute job turns into over an hour’s job to clean the whole room. As it’s a spot cleaner it takes longer if you want all the room doing as you have to move the tank about more and it’s easier to do it cross legged instead of bending over. It’s made me feel like my house was filthy and as a borderline OCD cleaner that really hurts BUT now I’ve used it the house has never felt so clean. The instructions are just pictures which is more difficult in my opinion to understand how to use it. It doesn’t tell you how much solution to add because it says use the measurement cup. There was no measurement cup attached to the sample bottle because it’s only a small bottle so I had to google for ages to find out the correct amount. It didn’t even specify in the description page so that was fairly disappointing. If anyone is struggling to find the measurements out, a full tank consists of 60ml of solution and the rest is warm/hot tap water that goes up to the fill line which is printed clearly on the tank.
If you’re like me and have to be very careful with money I can assure you that this was the best purchase I have ever made and the money it’s saving me is fantastic. No professional carpet cleaners bills, no new furniture and no new carpets. And even though I got a good deal by getting it on Prime day, it’s well worth the money with or without the discount so don’t hesitate and add it to your basket!!
Bissell are fantastic. I now own a Bissell carpet cleaner, vacuum cleaner and a carpet sweeper. All 3 are the most important appliances in my house and make daily appearances which are more essential than anything else I own.
Amazing!
As a mum of 2 girls, 4 & 1 I often find myself cleaning spills everyday that the sofa never recovers from, with this machine I am now able to clean the sofa properly and it be transformed back to its like new state.
My only regret is not knowing about it sooner and buying it sooner. I used to pay 100 a year for a cleaner to come do it all for me, now I can do it myself for a fraction of the cost. Amazing.
