BISSELL TurboClean Pet XL Upright Carpet Cleaner, Upholstery Tough Stain Tool & Formula included, 3746

I don’t have a lot of carpeted area in my house, but I do have a lot of rugs. Having them cleaned, and being charged hundreds a year for cleaning the rugs and the small carpeted rooms was getting ridiculous. My dog got ill and had terrible accidents all over a rug. I was about to throw it away and get the carpet underneath cleaned, and a friend recommended this cleaner. I was very skeptical, but I am so glad I bought it.I used their antibacterial pet solution, and it worked wonders. I read reviews about not spraying too much ( I only held sprayer half recommended time) , moved it really , really slow to suck up the water, and it worked perfect. Dried quickly. Rug looks brand new, smells amazing, too! I was able to do a 10x12 rug before emptying, and used rest of solution still in tank to clean my dining room carpet . The dirty water tank was absolutely disgusting and I gagged trying to empty it, but it seriously cleaned up even hardened chunks of smelly dog vomit. You will realize how dirty even your cleanest carpets were when you see the tank! Parts were easy to clean, it wasn’t loud at all , and was lightweight enough to get it up stairs on my own. Make sure to vacuum really well before using or you’ll be picking up wet clumps of dog hair that it leaves behind.

So far, so good! Used twice with excellent results. The carpets in my parents house hasn't been replaced since the 80s. Unfortunately, it's high quality carpet and they don't replace anything until it's worn out. :)The hallway from the kitchen to the bedrooms was almost black! After one cleaning using the Pro solution, the improvement was unbelievable! I believe after going over it once more it will look almost like new. Guess we'll have to wait a few more years for replacement.I'm 62 with bad knees but was able to complete the task with no issues. Take your time and remove as much water as you can which will reduce drying time greatly. It was dry within a couple of hours.Be sure to read the instructions. The black water tank will only fill partially before needing to be emptied so don't expect to use the full amount of cleaning solution before needing to empty the tank. You will notice that it will stop suctioning water so that's your clue to empty. It's not broken!!The parents were greatly impressed!

We bought this shampooer after the Hoover power dash pet one died. After taking it apart we realize there was a flaw in that design and allowed water to get into the motor.So we purchased this one and was quite surprised at how much more solution it held! Especially since it wasn't very much bigger than the Hoover.The carry handle is in the perfect spot in the middle making it easy to lift.The solution container is a really great size for this size of shampooer. And the waste container actually holds quite a bit as well. Our Hoover didn't even hold the amount of solution that was put out which seemed really odd. This one also will stand on its own so that you can fill it. It won't leak either. My old one had a tiny hole to allow air to come in to push the solution down so I had to plug my finger over the hole while I filled it up and then put solution in. That was a huge pain. This one I just said it in the sink I fill it up and put the solution in.Dumping the dirty solution is SO much easier than our old one! I can actually dump this in the toilet and don't make a mess!One of the major pluses of this one over the Hoover that we had is the ability to clean the waste tank. Cleaning the Hoover was a nightmare. I had to take it outside and use a hose and still could never get it fully clean. This one actually has a large cap on the bottom of it that you can unscrew to remove a section of it and I can fully clean it out very easily. This is such a huge plus because anytime there is even a little bit left in our old one it would start to stink very quickly.Now on to the cleaning. Get ready to see some black water! I was absolutely shocked at how well this pulled dirt and pet hair out of our rugs. We do not have carpet so we have area rugs and runners. This does a fantastic job of cleaning it.The attachment for the upholstery cleaner is way easier than our old one however I wish it had a rotating brush and a little bit of a wider head so that it could suck more solution up.I do wish that you could take the entire plastic front off to clean pet hair that has stuck to the front of it. There is one section that pops off but I find that hardly anything even gets in there. It's still easier than my old one though. My old one I had to take it outside and hose it out. With this one I wait for the pet hair to dry then I flip it over and unscrew the section for replacing the belt that way it loosens the brush. Then I can just use my finger to wipe out the now dry pet hair. You can do this wet but I find it yucky so I wait for it to dry because all the hair just sticks together and it doesn't feel gross. Then I just reattach that little section with the two screws.It is on the noisy side but I have yet to find a shampooer that is not noisy. But it's not so noisy that I need to wear at earplugs or anything.There is very little water leakage when you turn it off. Most shampooers allow some of the dirty water to come back out because it hasn't gone fully up the tube. This one has very minimal water dripage.Would definitely by again.
