This Bissell is easy to use, does a great job of lifting deeply soiled grime out of carpets and since it is a wet vacuum, it works well to remove odors from carpeting. I also use it to clean hard flooring when needed since the extra water does a better job of removing soils from laminate and other hard flooring.

The vacuum is strong so it lifts back up most all of the water, I tend to really soak soiled carpets to get them good and clean, and with that it makes a thorough job of getting things clean.

Well worth the money.

I have found this product to be quite disappointing. I only used it on rugs, we have no carpeted rooms. We do not have pets in the house. I have sent it for repair twice. It has taken a long time and this second time has not been repaired at all, but I have had no contact for 6 weeks until I initiated further inquiries today. I was scrupulous in using the machine according to instructions and in cleaning it after use. In the absence of repair, I am using my Vax Steam cleaner which I think is doing an ok job. I can not recommend this product.

I use my cleaner probably only once or twice a year and it works well. The only con is that the water runs out quickly so you have to refill a few times and the cord gets in the way. The last time I used it I was happily going back and forth over my large rug to realise the rug still felt dry! The water wasn’t running through properly. I did some trouble shooting and started again which was not a problem. I also own the small cleaner for spills etc which works great for me.

This thing is a ridiculous design. Near impossible to clean machine after use. Save your money and buy one 1/2 the price for same crap. I guess it cleaned alright but I think that was more to do with the hoover pet plus detergent. It left the carpet a bit on the wet side. Pretty easy and light to use just crap to clean.

Works well and cleans lots of dirt out of the carpet. You need to use fans or the heater to dry the carpet within an hour. I use it on my mats also and they stay nice and clean.

I’ve only ever bought Bissell as I’ve heard bad reviews on cheaper options.

Really lifts up dirt and cleans. Can see the colour of dirty water extracted from the carpets. Should have bought this long ago. It would be nice to have a slightly larger water tank. However, it's lightweight and less fatigue to handle with less water load too. Cleaning solution can be costly if used frequently. Great machine for pet accidents.

I am really happy with the performance and suction. It is very light not really quiet it is very easy to maneuver.
I use this to clean my carpet, grey colour 1 bedroom apartment, it is a bit small for us, we have a baby so use it very often.

Rubbish cleaner and a waste of money!
Used it twice had to send it back as water was gushing out of the tank. They had it for weeks.
Got it back used it twice and guess what same thing
rubbish rubbish rubbish
Never again Bissell ..... you use to have a very good name in the business, not now

I only have floor rugs, but have pets. Finally tried my Bissell out and must say I am quite impressed by it's performance. Have been a longtime user of Vax barrel cleaners (30yrs) and this leaves the carpet clean and impressively dry. Very easy to use and clean up is a breeze (once I worked out how to empty the 'dirty' tank)
Only just purchased it during Master's closing down sale, hopefully it will continue to work as well as it has. - will amend this review if i strike difficulties like some of the others are saying.

Major faults, water kept pouring out of the machine

Bissell replaced the same part 4 times and the same issue continues. Took months at a time to get the part, so we use it a total of two times.. Now out of warranty period and they won't do anything :(

Stunning machine. I used it on older, flatter, pale grey carpet and it came up brilliantly. My main task, though, was a plush living room rug which has dogs on it every night. BOOM! it was filthy (who knew?) and now looks like the day I got it. A joy to use, too.

Purchased last week $180 what a rip off for piece of junk. The machine is a waste of money and time. Look for something better.
