BISSELL - Revolution Hydrosteam Pet Corded Upright Deep Cleaner - Titanium/Copper Harbor

It's the most pricey carpet shampooer in its class, but its worth it. Comparing all features I settled on this one because it had an upholstery/hand tool, and also because is can do steam. Note, it can only do steam treating on the floor, and the steam isn't particularly aggressive, but you can hear it. It sounds a lot like using an iron that makes steam. The steam function runs by itself, without vacuum suction or the rollers, as a way to pre-treat/pre-warm the area to be cleaned. The Max Clean mode makes use of steam, but not the same way. Quick dry mode uses a lot less water and does not use steam. The pair of rollers spin very fast and definitely do a thorough job. The picture attached to this review is of an "impossibly" dirty carpet area; its the walkway between my garage and my kitchen. This off-white carpet gets very dirty here, because of the garage. After one pass, you can see the stripe where it's cleaner. (This is a few days after the area dried, as an experiment). This part of the carpet has been professionally cleaned in the past, with not so great results. Truck-mounted steam cleaners usually use man power to brush and scrub the carpet, so its more labor intensive and you cant concentrate the scrubbing. For smaller areas, this cleaner might be better than having a pro come out. A full tank of wash formula mix will probably be able to do about 100 square feet, so you will probably want more than just the sample bottles this comes with.

Since our purchase, my daughter is the one who has operated it. She is quite impressed. We bought an earlier model, in 2019. We have used it often, especially recently, because we have older dogs, who have been having many accidents. Recently, it wasn't working well. So, we bought this updated version, and it has been working amazingly. The steam feature really helps to get down, and treat the carpet, to the floor level. The machine is heavier, than the old one, but cleaning level is far superior. There is an instruction video, we found online, and it is very detailed in explaining how the machine is operated. For us, it was worth the investment!

The device works as advertised. The device went together easily. There were a couple of small spots I did not expect to be removed but they still were a good 75% gone. 2 places I really cared about came up clean. You do go through the water/cleaning solution very fast but it is likely necessary. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is because the rinse and storage tray which cleans the brush area - the dirtiest/soap-scummy area - is optional. It should be included since it is not easy to clean otherwise - you have to take it outside and run it, running clean water through it. This area had a large 2'x2' black coffee stain . Nothing got rid of it. The Bissel made quick short work of it. We were very surprised.

Love this steam carpet cleaner. It is light weight but powerful and efficient. We have an eldery dog ( see photo at the crime scene)who is beginning to dribble. She is on estrogen replacement (it is working), but accidents happen. The portable Bissell we own was no mach for Carly, so we invested in the above. It was a great investment. At 72, I am sure that if I can do it, so can you. The instructions are clear, and the machine snapped together quickly and was ready to use in less than 20 minutes. I had the worst stains treated within half an hour and began to treat the lightly treaded areas.I went back over the heavily soiled areas with both steam only and steam plus cleaner. Here is where I made a rookie mistake and over applied cleaner...no matter, the machine has a quick dry mode to vacuum only and extract excess liquid. Results: carpet looks great and has a fresh smell. There is a very light "shadow" where the beast is in the photo, which will probably go away completely with a refresh treatment. If it does not improve, I will still be well satisfied with this purchase. I should close by adding that the cleanup of the machine, before storage, was equally easy and efficient. A special tool is included to comb out the roller brushes and clean out the steam and vacuum ports of any debris that may have been missed by your pre vacuum of the carpet. I can't wait to try out the upholstery tools on the beast's favorite couch.

A hot water line in the master bathroom broke and by the time I got it turned off, water was flowing into the bedroom carpet. The stain was awful and so was the smell. Research told me it would require more than one cleaning. I decided it was cheaper to by this Bissell that have someone come more then once. It took a few tries but got the job done.
