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.

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.
