BISSELL - Lift-Off Deep Cleaner Pet Carpet Cleaner - Black

We have had this machine for a few months and have been able to use it often. As you can imagine with 3 boys and a dog, there are multiple opportunities to break out the carpet cleaner. We needed a new green machine and a new carpet cleaner so we decided to give this a shot. I was surprised how well it works. The combination is not heavy or bulky. The spot machine lifts off easily. My only complaint is that the cord and hose are not retractable. That should be an added feature for future models. Other than that the machine gets my tannish colored carpets looking clean and it dries quickly, so I know it suctions the water well.

This Deep Cleaner is great. It keeps the water warm as you are working with it, moves easily while using, and all the attachments and lift off canister are very easy to use/remove. The only downside I have found is that it is hard to get all the dirty water out of canister after you are done. There is no easy way to do this. Also, others have mentioned they wish the cord was automatic, but I have no problem winding it up.

I bought this item at the request of my wife. I have seen her use it several times. I have never heard a single complaint. That would put it in the "it works and it's not annoying" category.

Although I had several pet stains, I had no idea how much dirt was in my carpets. Now they look new and my house smells much fresher. At 68, I needed something I can handle - and this is perfect for me.

I've never had a carpet cleaner, let alone use one, so it was actually kinda interesting how this turned out. First, off it was nice that it came with a sample bottle of cleaning solution. It was enough to clean my small living room and a short hallway. The instructions were easy to follow and can reflect on your learning style (quick start, and detailed and slow). Fill the clean container with water a little solution, and off we go. Starting to use it, you will feel the heft of the machine. The repetitive back and forth did me in a few minutes of use. But eventually, I learned to go fast when it puts down the soap, then slow when sucking up the water and dry. It worked well that way (and maybe with other cleaners). It does heat up nicely and you can feel the warm water and dryer on the carpet as you use it. That being said, it does take time to dry properly (4-5 deliberate passes) without dampness. Once dry, my carpets "felt" clean, and comfortable again to lay on.

Love the lift off caddy for cleaning small stains right away. No need to pull whole unit out. Whole machine works great.

Had this product recommended by the sales associate. It was specifically designed for pet owners and it was on sale so I decided to give it a shot. Out of the box it was easy to put together and use. That is the end of the good stuff. I pretreated some of the dogs old accidents and started to clean. First off this machine will only clean about a 5ftx5ft section before it needs to be refilled. That is only if you don't have to concentrate on a particular spot. Second it did little to clean the pet stains it was designed to clean up. Even after going over the stains three separate times the stains and smell are still present. Took the product back to best buy for a full refund which they were happy to give me and I didn't even have to take it apart and put it back in the box. A+ for best buy but the product was not the best.

Best Carpet Shampooer EVER!!! And I used to have a Kirby vacuum with shampoo cleaner. This cleans your carpet like a professional machine. In less than 10 minutes it completely cleaned a small bedroom that had a number of old cat urine stains. I have a very elderly, arthritic cat with kidney disease, who often uses the carpet in that spare room, which is why I bought this machine. I was skeptical that the stains wouldn't return after the carpet dried completely, but the following day the carpet still looked brand new. Money very well spent!
