Cleans well and easy to manoeuvre. So far I used it to clean the carpets in the entire unit, living room and two bedrooms. I used it to remove coffee stains and wine stains as well. The bottle of water only sufficient to cover just about 3 square metres and should be refilled. A little difficult to clean after use. Apart from that, I've had no other problems.

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.

Our house has dogs inside so the carpets take a bit of a beating. This unit picked up far more dirt and dog hair than I imagined. I would even go so far as to say the results are as good as some of the bigger hire machines without the dramas of the hoses etc.
Nice, compact, easy to use and clean. Well worth the money as it pays for itself after probably only two uses.

For the price $183 bucks it is a great little machine.
Our carpets aren't too dirty only 3 rooms are carpeted but needed something to keep em clean and fresh.

Its a little noisy and the tank is tiny but with 2 refills per room it does a spectacular job considering this is an entry level machine.

I made my own cleaning solution (just to see if it will work) combined a teaspoon of napisan couple drops of dish soap and disloved in hot water then topped off with half white vinegar rest hot water.
Did a better job then the branded stuff.

As mentioned in the other review only half wet the stroke otherwise its too wet.

All in all once again for the $ great little thing.

Living in a rental where the carpets were already stained and expecting baby no3 I purchased this in hope of clean and refreshing carpets. Wasnt I amazed with the results after one cleaning. I never thought the carpets were this dirty. I use it every week and love how fresh the carpets feel after each use

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.

Read the reviews and though it was worth a try on our grotty carpets instead of getting a paid carpet cleaner in for about the same price. Fantastic results on the carpet under our dining table. It was able to remove stains that had been in the carpet for at least 6 months. Would certainly recommend.
Easy to use, value for money, and good results.
a bit plasticy but price is cheap probably as a result.

Affordable, cleans well, overall great product :D, Couldnt believe the dirt that it pulled out of the carpet, great for those spills that just happen, I looked at alot of machines and im very happy that I found this one and its a bonus that I can clean the hard floors as well

Water tank needs to be filled often, but what do you expect for a small tank

I used this product for the first time today and am now wondering why I didn't buy one sooner! The heavy traffic area near my front door was nearly black and now is back to the natural carpet colour after very little effort! Unbelievable that an appliance has worked so well. I was expecting some improvement but nothing like this. Can't speak highly enough of this carpet cleaner.
Easy to use, efficiently removes dirt and stains, easy to empty and clean

Bought this a few months ago from my local Harvey Norman store. ..... thought this part was rather painful, I wish I'd bought one sooner... This thing is fantastic. Does a great job cleaning after your pets.. Quick and so easy to use. What's not to love. Would highly recommend this.
Efficient, does great job, inexpensive, easy to clean afterwards.
