Anticipating problems with potty training my 3 year old, I invested in this carpet cleaner. Best idea ever.
I had an old Bissell spot cleaner before this, but felt like I was contorting myself cleaning the floor after pet accidents. With a pantsless toddler in the mix, I knew I needed an upright model.
This model fits the bill, and after a week of heavy use, I am so, so glad to have it. It is wonderfully designed and clicks together very satisfyingly. Both the upright cleaner and the hose attachment are fast and intuitive to use. Filling and emptying both tanks is super simple. Sometimes I find myself hoping that my kid's accidents land on the carpet so I can suck it up with this instead of a huge wad of paper towels.
My one friction point is that the entire unit is a bit cumbersome to haul up and down a staircase. In my hurry, it's hard to know where to put my hands to lift it with minimal strain. I think I've figured out an optimal placement for me, but it would be nice if there was an equally intuitively designed lift spot. I also wish there was an easy hook for the attachment hose, which I use so often that I usually leave on the machine.
This is a hard-working little unit.. I'm in a single wide trailer with carpeting and I appreciate the fact that it's lightweight because I have rheumatoid arthritis and things are painful to push/ pull but this is a breeze to use. it does a nice job.. This would be great for someone with a small apartment or even an RV... it runs out of water sooner than my other bigger Bissell but that's okay. it's not that big a deal.. makes up for it in how it really cleans deeply .and I'm very happy with it.. good job in developing this shampooer, thank you.
Nice compact cleaner. My previous carpet cleaner was bulky and heavy so I never wanted to use it but this one is easy to maneuver. It easily removed two stains from my hallway carpet. Remember this is compact so tanks for dirty and clean water are smaller so you have to empty/fill more often but I find it worth it. I don’t love where the power button is located but will get use to it.
Works well. Empty tank can be difficult to remove to empty.

I bought this because it's the lightest weight carpet shampooer with attachments it works as well as my bissell pro heat pet pro however I need to empty the dirty water tank often I wish it was bigger and the clips that hold the dirty water tank in place are hard to manage otherwise it's awesome.
