Great for small spaces and pet owners

I've been using a Bissell BarkBath Duo to freshen up my Samoyeds; we had hardwood floors and the carpet attachment was used for spot cleaning the hardwood floor, our car carpet, and upholstery. Last year we moved to a condo with concrete floors; the bedroom is about 1/3 the space of the small condo and looked awkward without something to break up the space. Neither I nor my partner like floor coverings, but we got a 10x12 rug. The dogs LOVE it; they can dig their little claws in there and actually get a grip! I've been using the BarkBath to spot clean it for the last year, and it finally gave out after 5 faithful years of service. Living in a small home means every purchase must justify the amount of space it takes up and perform several tasks. We loved the price of the TurboClean, the attachments, and the fact that it came with sample-size cleaners, the minimal footprint, and the spot clean capability for upholstery. It arrived four days after a deep clean, and I immediately used it on the concrete floors to test the suction, expecting little difference because they are vacuumed and mopped daily. I used water heated to 115 deg F, and a non-toxic hardwood cleaner to avoid a rinse pass. The amount of dirt and grime that came up! Not only was it an effective floor scrubber, almost doubling as a vacuum, it also suctioned an excellent amount of the dispensed cleaner, and the floors dried quickly. I used the same 115 deg F water on the rug, this time diluting the recommended amount of detergent into the reservoir, and gave it a quick soak pass, dispensing the cleaner on the rug without allowing the TurboClean the chance to suction it up (it still suctioned a good amount). Then I filled the clean reservoir again, this time with half the recommended detergent, and actually cleaned the rug; the amount of dirt that came up was astounding! I gave the rug two more passes with just hot water to pull out all the detergent for dog safety, and the water got lighter by the second pass. Afraid of soaking the rug through its pad, I decided to do it all over again in a couple weeks until the water runs clear. My whole 750 sq ft condo took me 2 hours, 8 full tanks of clean water, and 10 empties of the dirty water to scrub. There were a few things I did not like: the location of the on-button feels too low, but I understand the design calls for it since it has to be shipped in pieces. The foot lever to release the handle is too flimsy and sticky and more often than not made the whole TurboClean lunge backwards when I was trying to use it. The wheels do not pivot at all so whenever you change positions it groans like Chewbacca. Despite all this, it is a highly effective machine . The TurboClean has earned its place in my cleaning closet.

The absolute best

The team that designed this little powerhouse should get an all expenses paid, 2 week vacation. We just bought this yesterday, retiring the big daddy we had, which was also a bissell, but when you get to be a silver haired woman, our old one was not doing a great job, and was getting way too hard to hard to use. Carpet had pet stains, but now looks bright, clean, and I am feeling only a little tired, now for honesty sake ..... I am 78, and I feel all my limitations, but this little treasure is my early birthday present to myself

Works very well, but tanks are small. Multiple refills are required to clean anything more than a rug. But it's lightweight and small enough to clean stairs, easy to handle.

I can't believe how terrific this light weight machine really cleans. Also, the cleaning products do not have a strong chemical odor which surprised me. All in all, I'm very pleased with my new Bissell carpet cleaner!

Shipped very nicely packed and works great, We have owned Bissell for the last 25 years and have never been diappointed. They always work and clean everything nicely. For those who have had issues, instructions are very clear and cleaning of of machine afterward is a huge key to keeping it in working condition. Overall very happy, Great job Bissell....
