You need to find a “happy medium” though with how fast you move because “it doesn’t work well if you go too fast and your carpet will take forever to dry if you go too slow.” It’s a touch bulky, so storage may be an issue if you live in a smaller place, but it does “such an amazing job,” it’s worth it. As a Hail Mary, they bought this Bissell steam cleaner and report, “One treatment with the Bissell and NO MORE PET STAINS WOW.” They never “thought a home product would work so well,” adding: “The cost of the Bissell was probably less than what we paid the last jerks to ‘professionally’ clean our carpet.” A second customer also thinks it’s a pretty “easy and effortless machine” for those who have carpets. After having their carpet cleaned “TWICE by professionals,” they thought there was really nothing more they could do - and they were sick of having their carpet stay wet for days. People with pets and carpets know how dangerous that combo is, especially if you’re, say, house-training a puppy, like this shopper who replaced their carpet then got a puppy. This cleaner is a beast! The last time I cleaned my carpet I borrowed a friend’s commercial Rug Doctor, and this little Bissell did just as good a job as the big, ginormous cleaner.” “The carpets are dry within hours.” Its small size also belies its surprisingly powerful engine, according to another reviewer who advises potential buyers not to be “fooled by its small size. “A rug that before took me three hours to clean I can clean in less than one,” they write. “You have to refill/empty more times than you do with a large shampooer, but this one is so light, and powerful, and efficient, that it doesn’t bother me one bit.” Its reduced size and weight also makes it perfect for those who struggle to handle large machinery - one reviewer with a bad back calls it “light and easy to maneuver,” while another reviewer whose previous “bulky and heavy” carpet cleaners were causing them “sore arms and shoulders” says this machine is efficient and easy to handle. “This is not your typical big heavy thing you have to drag around,” one writes. Reviewers love how easy it is to lug this lightweight and compact carpet steam cleaner around the house. It snaps together easily to fill and change water.” “The amount of cat hair this thing sucks up is insane,” she says. At about “the same size as a Shark vacuum,” it’s not as bulky as some other carpet steam cleaners, but one customer says the smaller size doesn’t affect how powerful it is. You can’t deny the results when cleaning out the dirty water tank either.” Over 1,000 other customers also call out how lightweight this cleaner is. One reviewer who runs a doggy day care out of her home writes that it “picks up a CRAZY amount of deeply embedded debris, dirt, stains, and hair,” preserving a carpet that “sees high traffic regularly and potty accidents on occasion. That’s been proven once again by the fact that this stream cleaner - one of the most affordable on this list - has more five-star ratings (40,000) than any others we found. If we’ve learned anything over the years, it’s that the price of something rarely determines its quality.
