  Super Dooper Vacapooper!

  This little vacapoo is better than I hoped for. It really performed small miracles on the stairs in both my apartment and also through several apt. buildings that I maintain. I needed something more than the smaller spot cleaner but not the commercial-grade shampooer I use for entire offices and rooms. This machine was light and it's the perfect width for stairs. Why 4 stars? My only gripes are these: The tank that collects the dirtied water also collects suds, which is to be expected, but sometimes the suds seem to register as if denser.. like water.. which in turn causes the machine to stop full function until you empty it. It's easy to empty! It's just not ideal to have to stop and empty it so often when it's really not full of liquid. Lastly, the roller brush only starts a'rollin' when the body of the machine is tilted back. Normally this is a non-issue but for stairs, which is what this vacapooer specifically is made for, it's not conducive to it's own task. When you tilt it back you reach the wall with the handle and the base has barely made it halfway across the stair. Sure, you can turn it and then push and pull it that way for the rest of the stair... but I wanted to be able to keep it at 90° and pull it across that way. Y'know? Anyway! It's really a good machine for it's price and size! Highly recommend.

  Great Light-Weight Carpet Cleaner Pets or Not

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  When I received the Bissell Jetscrub Pet 2529 Series lightweight carpet cleaner, the first thing I noticed was how light the box was for a carpet cleaner. After opening the box, the next thing I found, was how simple it was to assemble the machine and to get it running. The provided instructions are simple and make it simple to know what you are to do. The handle is really the only thing to assemble to the machine and it snaps on easily - just make sure to put enough pressure on it to ensure that the plug engages completely, or you will end up with intermittent power to the machine (I made this mistake). Once the handle is on, you can fill the clean water tank to the appropriate lines with water and cleaning solution (see picture). Once filled, the carpet cleaner is ready to go. Though this machine is advertised for usage on pet problems and the sample bottle of cleaning solution is specified for cleaning pet urine, I used it on a very stained carpet downstairs, where shrimp cocktail sauce had been spilt and never cleaned up properly by hand. I followed the instructions and pre-treated the stains with Bissell Stain Pretreat and let stand for 10 minutes. Then I used the Jetscrub on the stains and the surrounding area, by spraying with the Cleanshot using the Solution Spray Trigger. It did a marvelous job lifting the stains and noticeably cleaning a carpet that I didn't think was so dirty. It was so easy, that I cleaned more than I originally intended. The only issue was that the clean water tank is not huge, so it will need multiple refills for large areas. I will be purchasing more carpet cleaning solution and plan to tackle my carpeted basement stairs next. The Bissell Bissell Jetscrub Pet 2529 Series lightweight carpet cleaner is well built, easy to use and does the job well! I would suggest this to anyone.

  Perfect for regular upkeep

  The simplicity of an upright with the ability to wash your carpets on a regular basis. I wouldn’t say this is a replacement for something like a heavier deep clean machine, but this will certainly make it so you won’t need to do a deep clean as often, if ever so long as you stay on top of it. I have various carpet styles in my house and have lived here for almost 2 years without doing a carpet shampoo. I have done some smaller spot cleaning, but nothing full room clean. So, I didn’t expect this to deep clean as it is listed as “perfect for cleaning rugs and smaller carpeted areas.” However, on the shortest of carpet, it did a surprising job in getting up the stains and renewing its color. The next length up didn’t quite get the deep stains, but certainly cleaned as noticed in the disgusting water that was dumped out. The thicker, more typical carpet style, definitely gave it a refresh, but I didn’t notice any real stain removal. I have cleaned them three times now, and there is no doubt the carpet looks better, but some stains just won’t go away. Now, I wouldn’t say that is a bad thing, because these stains have been there a while and I feel, had I had this JetScrub when they occurred, they may not have been as lasting. It states it is for small carpeted areas mainly because you will have to fill and empty the device multiple times and it never seemed to be at the same time. I always had to empty the machine before I had to refill the solution. But, it is as simple as dumping out a typical vacuum container and filling what is like a large sports bottle with hot water and an ounce of solution by following the lines on the bottle. When done, the rinse storage tray allows you to easily rinse the brush and nozzle, but still required a little extra cleaning on disassembly. The base holds the machine, the brush and the nozzle for air dry without leaving stains on your floor. However, I feel they should have made some sort of place to store the dirty water tank in an open position. Like a hook on the side of the machine or something. Just so it is easy to hang it to dry open because you don’t want to leave a damp dirty tank sealed in the machine. As mentioned, this is perfect for maintaining your rugs and carpets and cleaning fresh stains. It is really noticeable how much it is cleaning up and even better after you have done multiple cleanings over time and notice the dirty water isn’t looking so disgusting. The brush was clearly picking up pet hair, but tended to leave it on the carpet in clumps. The clumps were easy enough to pick up, but would have been better if it could have sucked them up with the water. The directions for deep clean say 1 pass forward and 1 pass back with spray then without, but found that doing 2 passes without still managed to pull a little more water back up. As you use it more, you can tell what works best for you. Would be great if it was a little easier to use on stairs with an attachment. Overall, a great machine for keeping your carpets fresh and clean on a regular basis.
