I have been very impressed with this light machine. I wanted something that would effectively clean but was not so large. This machine has exceeded my expectations. We rescue dogs so we are often dealing with pet messes. If you are looking for a machine to clean large areas, this is probably not it. It has a smaller tank so you will end up emptying it frequently. I cleaned an 8 x 10 carpet and refilled/emptied 3 times. It was totally worth it though. I was pleased with how quickly the carpet dried. I will be trying out the hose attachment this week to clean stair treads. I’m sure I won’t be disappointed.
Easy to use, cleans very well from area rugs to a carpeted room. Only challenge was removing dirty water tank was difficult. The plastic clips that hold the container were not easy to unlock. Actually hurt my back trying to pry the clips open.
This machine is very easy to set up and use. It removed all the stains on our basement carpet and left a fresh clean smell thanks to the formula provided in the box. The only thing that bothers me is that the cord is not long enough for the surface we want to clean, which is fine, we just need to unplug it and plug somewhere else. The process is super satisfying, the suction works really well, and it is less costly than hiring a company to do it. The tank gets empty quite quickly and requires several fills but I mean, for the price, this is really good value. Highly recommended!
I have multiple pets. I have owned multiple cleaners over the years. This product was bought to replace my Hoover Pet Carpet cleaner. This model is very small. It takes several refills to get the job done. I also have a very hard time unlatching the grey latches at the sides of the water tank. It is a light machine, and would be best suited for small areas and light work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Danielle, thanks for sharing your experience—we’re sorry to hear the TurboClean™ Pet didn’t fully meet your expectations. We understand how the smaller tank and tight latches can be frustrating, especially with multiple pets; making sure the tank is aligned evenly before closing can sometimes help with the side latches. This lightweight machine is designed for quick cleanups and smaller areas, but our team would be happy to help you find tips or a better fit for your needs at support.bissell.com.
I enjoy the simplicity of cleaning, it’s definitely worth the money and a light weight option for those who have pets, kids or both and need consistent cleaning. I clean my 3 room carpets every other week and it smells better, looks cleaner & allows me to feel better about myself with those results. If you own or rent and want to keep your carpet clean with a low budget this is the best option I have seen. Thanks
