Tried out by my wife, as she is the cleaning expert.“With previous carpet cleaners, I had to pick a sunny and slightly breezy day to clean my carpets, as they were left so wet they needed warm air and a through draught to dry them, so I was very pleasantly surprised after I had used this. The carpets were not bone dry afterwards, but they were a lot drier than I have previously experienced and they dried totally overnight. They smelt good too as they were not too wet, no damp dog smell if you know what I mean.It was very easy to assemble, even my husband could do it and he is not that ept at such things.” [I fear she’s correct.] “The machine is light, only 6 kg,

Lightweight machine but not lightweight in cleaning. Set up is easy - slot in the extendable handle, use the two screws provided and place the cleaning reservoir which is an easy fit. The there is a long electric supply cable which is handy.In use the machine works very well, wetting and drying is very good, leaving the carpet very slightly damp but it soon dries out and looks as if it has been cleaned well. I notice that Bissel have learned from the past and changed over the water jets to a plastic strip which works very well and is less likely to get blocked up due to erosion as the old metal ones did, which made the machine inoperable,

I've used this for cleaning carpets which have had spillages and dirt from multiple pets. It seems to do pretty well at not just clogging on stray dog hair, instead creating the usual clumps of damp hair left behind to pick up as you go. Compared to my previous carpet cleaner it seems to get a lot more dirt up (I was amazed/disgusted at how much dirt it got up compared to the previous one), and it also leaves the carpet a lot drier - the area is still a little darker from the moisture, but it certainly dried out overnight. Like most carpet cleaners it could do with a more automated spray mechanism. Also, the cleaning fluid container only slots on - it could be more secure.

The unit was simplicity itself to assemble - two screws and one slot and you're there. Preparing for use was also easy - fill with hot water to the water mark; add shampooing liquid to its mark - and unlike our previous cleaner, the tank has a flat base making the filling so easy. push the tank back on the body, press the red lever for power and the grey lever to release the handle pivot and you're off. Press the trigger to deliver liquid while doing and initial forward and back, then release trigger and do a few more (slow) forward and back movements. Move to the next section and repeat until finished. The width of the base is about 8", which is sufficient to get through even a large carpet quite quickly,

This would have been 5* had it been easier to clean after use.Initially we tested it on the utility room carpet tiles which had never been cleaned and had some bad stains. We did not give it any spot treatment prior to using the cleaner and apart from these patches the rest of the area came up very well. We then used it on a couple of large rugs and it gave impressive results.It is very easy to use if you follow the instructions, it does say not to get the carpet too wet which is good advice but difficult to control as you just hold the trigger while using the cleaning fluid, however it did not make the carpet too damp and it dried quickly.If there are any complaints it is cleaning it,

There are a couple of negatives, so let's start there. It is very fiddly to clean. I have to empty out the dirty water tank, fill with clean water and shake, empty and repeat a few times to get it clean. Also there is no smaller attachment for cleaning stairs or tight corners. Therefore my carpets are sparkly clean with the exception of my stairs that look tired.Otherwise it's really good! I use it probably every other week as I have dogs that seem to constantly be making a mess. My carpets look like new when they've been cleaned. I'm always surprised just how much dirt it can get out of the carpet each time as well.You do need to be careful that everything is clean and attached properly or you will end up flooding your carpets as it won't suck all the water up.

Bought this to freshen up carpets while the weather is good. It arrived within a couple of days & was easy to assemble following instructions (only a couple of bits to put together)The machine is light to use & carry upstairs, quick to fill up & simple to use.I did the sitting room & bedrooms and it has made a huge difference in look & smell. We have a Labrador & you can tell there is a dog in the house no matter how much I hoover.It took 3 fills to do the rooms & the water was filthy :(Slow & steady worked really well, the water squirted out of the small filter if it was moved fast, but had it all cleaned/rinsed out in 5 minutes, it took longer to extract the dog hair from the beater bar,

I have only used this once but was very pleased with the results. Easy to assemble and easy to use. Quite light and maneuverable. Not used it on the stairs as not sure how easy that will be. Carpet came up lovely after first clean with stains being removed that had been on the carpet for sometime. My wife hoovered the carpet first and then I got to play with our new toy could not believe how much dirt and dog hair came up out of the carpet. Much easier to use than a rental that I have previously used. I look forward to doing the carpet a second time as I as sure the carpet will look like almost new. Did need to fill with clean water and empty a few times but it is only a compact so no problem there and easy to clean once finished using it.

I ran a previous verious of this carpet cleaner into the ground after 15 years of extensive carpet cleaning in four different properties. As space is short, I wanted a another compact carpet cleaner; neither did I want to drag a very heavy machine around. This carpet cleaner fits the bill. It is compact and not too heavy. My carpets had not been cleaned for a while. Judging by the colour of water in the waste-water collection tank, they were filthy! The carpets certainly look better and have a fresher feel. Cleaning the collection tank can be a little fiddly because small amounts of dirt can get stuck in awkward corners. Also important to clean the foam filter and the nozzle underneath the machine as they can get clogged up.

A good item that does exactly what it says it will, ie be lightweight, portable and clean carpets. I’ve previously hired carpet cleaning machines from DIY centres and these have been large unwieldy bits of kit. The Bissell compact cleaner was easy to assemble and instantly feels light, but well built. I have cleaned a number of medium sized rooms now, (approx. 4mx4m) and the cleaner has the cleaning fluid capacity and dirty tank capacity to do at least a couple of these size rooms without too many refills and empties– which is good. I had hoped that I would be able to clean the stairs as well; obviously it's stated that a separate stair cleaner isn’t provided but I thought it might be compact enough to get on individual stairs – it's not.Overall a good bit of kit and good value,

Used to clean a new carpet. Works well and not as noisy as I expected it to be, no more so than my hoover. Does not soak the carpet through and the way I do it, my carpet is dry within 2-3 hours. The only 'problem' I had with it is that as my carpet is new (less than 6 months old), even after having hoovered well beforehand, it pulled a lot of 'fluff' up and this proved awkward to get rid of from out of the machine, we had to more or less dismantle it to do so then blast it with a hosepipe! Subsequent cleans have been a bit better, still fluff but not as much, but the cleaning of the machine is a bit of a pain. Not that heavy to carry around. I ordered the Bissell Wash & Refresh with Febreze to use with it,

It is light and cleans very well , but the cleaning of the actual machine afterwards is a bit of a turn off. I could not get the dirt and fluff out of it and the bristle were interwoven with hairs and fluff. Some smaller parts impossible to get at.In addition the water tank locked on and it took two male neighbours to free it. The help line was not much help as the lady did not seem to have any answers when my neighbour spoke to her.We found the instructions inadequate and very poorly printed being much too small, the internet has several videos and they helped a lot, but not everyone has a computer. In all I could use it easily and it is light. I did my whole house in two days,

What a great machine, used this to freshen up a hall carpet of an elderly relative who had suffered mishaps going to the bathroom, due to COVID-19 recommended restrictions had not visited so often - used some of the diluted solution on stains and a clean washing-up brush (now put aside for just this job) waited for a few minutes put the machine over the affected area, following supplied instructions - dryish to touch so no problem leaving it to dry for an elderly person - visited the next day - AMAZING - not a trace of the issue - no more embarrassment for the person involved. Ordered and used the pet solution which smelt lovely, highly recommended. Easy to clean solution tank,

I’m super happy with this carpet cleaner. We have a large rug that fills the lounge area on top of laminate flooring. It has huge traffic all day... then we got a puppy!Super easy to use and I was genuinely horrified at the colour of the water! It did a great job. The suction left the carpet nearly dry and the cleaner came with a trial size bottle of cleaner that I estimate will do 3 cleans.I am really happy with it.Cleaning was a bit grim but quite easy to do.Good value. Bottom of the price range with great reviews. There are cheaper products but from unknown brands with poor reviews. There are also way more expensive cleaners. This is perfect for keeping our rug and bedroom carpets clean and fresh.Can’t do stairs though.

Our old Bissel Powerwash Proheat model just failed which turns out to be a blessing in disguise. It was complicated, heavy, clumsy and unreliable and as a result did not always do a good job. This compact model is a total contrast and despite being less powerful and having no heater does the job simpler, quicker and with no hassle. And it is far easier to store at the back of our cupboard under the stairs because the handle retacts and being much light can be lifted at arms length without back strain. My only reservation is that as the solution tank neared empty froth started to blow out of the waste tank.
