 - A TRULY great machineI read reviews and researched again and again because I was afraid to end up with a piece of junk like the Hoover FloorMate I owned. I actually was looking for something to clean my vinyl and linoleum floors to replace it and just happened to see that this carpet cleaner listed doing both carpets and other flooring. I finally decided after falling in a wet spot in the middle of my kitchen while carrying buckets and mops to give it a try. What a relief when I used it in my kitchen and diningroom. Yes it is a little heavy to push back and forth but so is carrying buckets of water and having them slop everywhere. It cleaned better than the Floormate and left almost no water on behind. It is taller and doesn't get under the smaller spaces but neithe did the Floormate do so well there. Next I hit the livingroom. I have a husband, a dog and ivory carpet in there. I spend a lot of money having the carpets cleaned several times each year. Our house is LIVED IN. It did a wonderful job even on the really nasty spots. This thing will save enough to pay for itself in less than a year and it certainly seems well made.I have always had good luck with Bissell products and I will NEVER buy another Hoover ANYTHING (which is made in China for Dirt Devil)again. Rating: - Easy to use, good resultsThe innovative design with a bladder for clean water inside the tank where the dirty water is stored makes emptying and refilling the machine alot easier. It does limit the amount of water you are able to store so you do have to make frequent trips to the faucet. Very little instruction is required and the section in the manual required to get started is only a few pages. I am very satisfied with the Bissel product and the general shopping experience Amazon offers. Rating: - This Machine is awesomeI was unsure as to how well this machine would work. Let me tell you, it worked great. My carpets dried quickly, and areas of my carpet that I had written off as a lost cause came out looking like new. I have 3 dogs, and this was a miracle. The clean up was kind of a hassle, but well worth the outcome. We are thinking of selling our home soon, and dreaded the thought of having to replace carpeting before having an open house. I would recommend this for any residential application! Rating: - Excellent ProductThis cleaner is extremely powerful and very well manufactured. The heater makes a big difference in the level of cleaning. It is very sturdy and really removes dirt, as well as old stains. I was really surprised to see the improvement in my neglected carpet after just one use. There is a little more assembly than I would have liked. All in all, I'm glad I spent the extra money. This is a quality product. Rating:  - ShampooerThe assembly is a little difficult. The directions were not all that clear. That makes it a bit cumbersome at first, but once you figure out how to use all the attachments, it is pretty easy to use. It works well, but the biggest downfall is that it uses quite a bit of detergent, so that is costing a bit more money than I like. Other than that it seems to work just fine.
