Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this purchase. Light weight and holds a lot of cleaner. I did one room per fill. It should be noted I clearly haven’t cleaned the floors in a long time (3 years yuck) and we just got a puppy who is the devil. It was incredibly easy to install! I was going in 15 mins. Including putting the water solution together.

This carpet cleaner can do the job of a full size carpet cleaner, at less than half the weight. The only disadvantage over this cleaner versus a full size cleaner, is that some full size cleaners have additional attachments for furniture or other items. The Turboclean does offer one optional attachment, for hardwood floors, but nothing for furniture. Which in my opinion is ok, as most pet stains happen on the floor anyway. Extra attachments would only clutter up the machine, and add unwanted weight anyway. The design is pretty simple, it looks like most upright carpet cleaners, or vacuums, the big difference here is the width of the Turboclean. It's width is 9.5 inches, as opposed to around 13 inches for most full size units. The height is 44 inches with the handle extended, and 38 inches with it retracted. Most of the unit is made out of lightweight plastic, including the wheels. With no water in the cleaner, it is pretty easy to move around, and get up and down stairs. The clean water tank only holds half a gallon, so that doesn't even add much weight to the machine. I do like that you can put hot water into the clean water tank, as a lot of stains actually need the heat to help break them up, especially set in stains.The tank has fill lines for the correct amounts of water and cleaning formula. By the way, it is recommended to only use Bissell cleaning solutions in the tank, to ensure that foaming up or other problems do not occur from using untested or unapproved soaps. Most dishwashing, laundry and other soaps are designed to foam up somewhat.So make sure to not only keep those out of the water tank, but also out of your rug. If you need to pre-spota stain, just use a little bit of the included cleaning formula, for best results.Foam can fill the waste tank, and force you to have to try to empty the reservoir repeatedly too soon, and it can break up the suction flow.  The Turboclean has one power roller with 4 wavy rows of bristles, which lets this cleaner scrub out tougher stains. The bristle rows are nicely spaced to help keep pet hairs from wadding up too much along the roller. Even if hairs do accumulate, they are easy to remove by running a pen or screwdriver along the roller, forcing the hairs up and outward. The suction is very good. It lifted water and stains pretty easily. The handle is nice and comfortable, even after moving the cleaner back and forth and spraying the rug continuously for 60 minutes. The weight, size, ease of use, and performance really make this cleaner shine. Adding water to the reservoir and emptying the waste tank only takes seconds. Both tanks can be removed and installed at any angle the unit is in. The reservoir tank just pops right out, no clips or straps. The waste tank is held down by two quick clamps, that only take seconds to use. It really does a great job. I am including pics of a rug I tested using hot sauce, strawberry syrup, and sriracha sauce.Within the first 2 minutes most of the stains were lifted, I am pretty confident that after quite a few more passes,the stains would have been removed. However to hurry things along, I did use a hand held brush to work the spot remover into the stain quicker. Afterwards it only took a couple passes with the cleaner to remove the stains.I honestly don't think a hand brush will be needed for most stains including pet stains. I only used one here, because I deliberately picked some hard to remove stains to see what this could do. Overall I am very impressed with how well this compact rug cleaner performs. At only 12lbs it does the job of some of the higher priced full size, heavier rug cleaners. With it always being wet outside this time of the year, it's nice to be able to grab something lightweight and quick to clean up the dog's foot prints every time he runs into the living room after being outside. I can not say enough how convenient this cleaner is.

In a house with 2 cats and a large 80 point dog, it's safe to say that a carpet cleaner is required in our house. We already have a smaller spot cleaner, but our larger cleaner bit the dust and needed to be replaced. I also hate the spot cleaner because I hate getting on my hands and knees to clean up a mess after one of my animals got sick. The Bissell Turbo PowerBrush is the perfect solution for what I was looking for - it works great as a general carpet cleaner and is also small enough to be used for spot cleaning without making me get on the floor to clean up stuff. The unit itself comes in 3 parts - the handle assembly, the cleaning solution tank, and the bottom brush cleaner part. Putting it together was a breeze. The only reason I docked a star off my rating was because in my experience, there were times when the handle assembly didn't click totally with the bottom crush cleaner part. When that happens, the cleaning fluid will not dispense - the handle assembly, fuel tank, and brush roll assembly have to lock and click together perfectly for it to work. So I docked a star for it being somewhat temperamental. That out of the way, this thing is pretty much perfect for what we need it for in every other way. I was able to clean up a mess from when one of our cats got sick and also finish cleaning the rest of the carpet in our bedroom. The tank itself isn't large enough to do more than one room at a time like a larger carpet cleaner can - but it's enough. Also, another word of caution, be careful when emptying the tank. It's clipped to the top of the brush assembly, and when I picked it up the first time to empty it, I accidentally spilled some of the refuse water on the floor. I found it best to lift the tank straight up and empty it quickly to avoid making another mess. The PowerBrush came with some concentrated cleaner to use, so that was helpful - the tank mixture line is designed to be used with Bissell's concentrated cleaner line, so be mindful when you need to buy some more. If you're like me and you need something that can be both a spot cleaner as well as a standard carpet cleaner, and you have pets, then you really should check this out. My wife and I are both really happy with it.

I'm very impressed with this little cleaner! It's small, light and it cleans up pet messes really well. I had a Hoover before and it was so heavy and clunky. I upgraded to this one and it blew my mind. It didn't require more strength to push it around and it only takes a little bit of cleaner to get the job done.

I like it! Between the three cats (hairballs and such) and the remodel project, this carpet cleaner is the perfect size for my 650 sq ft house and area rugs. Lightweight but powerful enough to get the rugs clean and clean smelling. You will definitely want to use hot tap water (not boiled). The machine is then easy to empty and clean. And as my house is small, I keep in in the basement so having it lightweight makes it easier to transport.

I have 4 dogs and carpet. I used this for the first time this weekend to clean up some of the spots from the youngest dog marking the carpet in the hallway. It was easy to set up and I managed to clean my small hallway and half my room with less than one tank. It does look like aspects may be difficult to clean out is my one concern.

Great purchase. Had to clean a small carpeted area and did not want to spend a bunch of money on a carpet cleaner. This one got a "best buy" designation by Consumer Reports. Easy to use and did a great job. Warning: I would not recommend this product for large areas, but is appropriate for smaller areas.

Cleans well, easy to use (load and empty reservoirs). Good purchase if you have a pet who has occasional accidents. We have a smaller Bissell spot, but this one is easier to use and better on my back.

Love it. Small, lightweight and very powerful. Is easy to clean

Lite and so easy to use. Did a great job on my carpet!!

We had a puppy accident almost immediately after assembling the cleaner. The cleaner was easy to use and efficient. You couldn’t even tell the mess had happened on the carpet! Excellent product!

Easy to use and gets the job done. My pet has been having several accidents and it gets the spots out even days after I find them. Definitely a household must for pet and kids

Great little carpet cleaner! Most of our home's flooring is hardwood but this really does the trick in the few carpeted areas. Not bulky or heavy. Easy to use.
