Bissell PowerWash PowerBrush Select 1623E

Do not buy.

- In the year i've had this, its broken three times. First it was a hole in the bladder when it was 4 months old. I was told I would have to pay $60 for a new one including bucket thing as you cannot buy the bladders separately and the warranty doesn't cover these. Secondly, 3 months later, the belt broke on the pump, so I was without until the sent me a new belt for the pump ( I had to pay). Thirdly, roughly three months later again I've had the plastic nozzle SNAP and of course....not under warranty.

and to top it all off..it doesn't suck up all the water and to get it all of the carpets you have to go on your hands and knees and use the hand 10 cm hand tool, OVER THE ENTIRE HOUSE.

It cleans well, dirty and messy carpets are revived and freshened and so much dirt can be cleaned away. With regular use you can make sure your family is living in a clean house with a clean carpet. My only concern with this power-washer is cleaning the tank after it has sucked up all that dirty water. That was an issue for me. It was hard and messy to collect all the pet hair from the bristles and clean the container. But all in all saves time and effort from manual carpet cleaning methods, or hefty and pricey carpet leaning service.,

I purchased my Bissell around 8 or 9 years ago. I have used it in the house approximately 4-6 times per year, I clean the cars 1 to 2 times per year and annually clean lounges and beds. My machine has never skipped a beat. I am impressed with the finished clean each and every time. After all this time and use I am only just ordering my first replacement little belt. I really didn't expect to still have this machine after all this time and if it every decided to retire itself, there is no way I would purchase anything other than another Bissell.

I don't know if the newer model is any better but mine stopped working after 2 months light use. When I returned it to Bissel I was told that as a result of it being "dirty" they wouldn't cover it under warranty. I did clean it to the best of my ability after each use but it appears that you ha to almost dismantle it to adequately clean it between uses. It's a carpet cleaner it's meant to be used for picking up dirt!! They wanted to charge me $186 for the service 1/4 of the cost of the machine!! Buy a cleaner that's more resistant to dirt, I don't have to dismantle my Dyson after using it!! I guess that Bissel is cheap but now I know why.
