The actual brush mechanism is even narrower than narrow width of the vacuum. It could be used for area rugs, but barely; be prepared to fill the tank constantly. I'd spend more for a model with a larger volume reservoir and one that heats the water.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from BISSELL HomecareBy Janelle McFarlane, BISSELL Consumer Care, September 8, 2025
Thanks for your feedback, Soso. We’re sorry the TurboClean™ Pet didn’t meet your expectations. For larger areas, a model with a bigger tank and heated cleaning might be a better fit—our team can help you find one at https://support.bissell.com. We appreciate you giving BISSELL a try!
I really love this shampooer. It really picks up the pet hair. I would have given it 5 stars but the cord is only 20 ft. instead of 25 ft. like my old shampooer. Also with the clean tank being stationary I can't watch the water go into the tank.
Great product. Gets up the dirt grime and dust in the carpet. This is better for a smaller room. All my bedrooms are large with carpet. I have to refill about 2-3 times for a good cleaning
I am impressed with how easy the TurboClean Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner from Bissell was easy to put together and to use. I especially like the hose for cleaning steps and uphostery. It is lightweight and does not take up very much room when stored.
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....
