BISSELL Turboclean Powerbrush Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner and Carpet Shampooer - Deep Clean Your Carpets for a Fresh Look and Feel

KaitlynKaitlyn: I've used this now twice to clean my bedroom carpet. Its not a huge room but big for an apartment. I'm VERY glad I didn't get dissuaded by some of the reviews that complain about cleaning it, because it's really not that hard (I'll get to that).

Suction:
I found the suction to be more than adequate. I've used a lot of steam cleaners, many way more expensive and had it take days to dry the carpet. With this cleaner both times the carpet was dry the next day following the instructions doing two or so passes to suck up the water.

Effectiveness:
You can see by my image that it definitely gets up the dirt. I have two little elderly dogs, so on top of the normal dog dirtiness they also occasionally have accidents. It got up the dirt very well as you can see in the image, but it also got up the accidents, which is no small feat. They are male dogs so it has a particularly strong smell.

Cleaning:
I read all the reviews that stated you have to take it apart and unscrew to get it clean and about getting hair in the tank. Don't do what I did, and instead ignore those. You don't have to do that.

To clean the tank, I found it quite effective to fill it...

Arndt Detmers: I purchased this carpet cleaner to use on area rugs in my home, as I do not have actual wall-to-wall carpeting anywhere anymore. With multiple geriatric dogs and a cat, accidents do happen - and I found it way to cumbersome to haul my large professional carpet cleaner from room to room for a quick "touch up."

Since I have bought this little machine, I have absolutely loved it! It is not very heavy at all, is super easy to clean (more on that later), and has A LOT more suction than what one would expect from a cleaner this size and, frankly, at this price point. In terms of its ability to dry my area rugs, it does exceptionally well. Even after multiple passes for cleaning in the same area it manages to leave the rugs reasonably dry. Since the machine allows for suction without distributing water, I do use it to go over the damp areas a few times before moving on, and I can say that it definitely sucks up about 90% of the water it distributed in the cleaning process!

That said, I have only used this machine on area rugs that are not made of wool, silk, etc. While my rugs are not cheap, they are an artificial fiber of some sort that allows for cleaning them...
