BISSELL SpotClean Pet Pro Portable Carpet Cleaner, 2458, Grapevine Purple, Black

While none of the Bissell portables heat water, the tank is sturdy enough to hold hot water. My old Bissell Spot Bot had a cracked hose after ten years. So far I used the new one to extract deer blood out of the trunk of my sedan that had spilled on my carpet. It took three tries of applying hot soapy water, scrubbing, and suctioning then allowing it to dry completely each time. But the odor did come out and we can drive our vehicle again without gagging.

Glad I got it. Cleans our couches wonderfully. Havent needed it for pet problems but works great on upholstery.

In defense of the machine, I am a Rainbow Vac user which uses water and is quite powerful at a premium price. Second, I am a Rigid Shop Vac user in my business, so I expect powerful suction when dealing with water. Therefore, The Bissell Pet Pro, faced tough competition at my house. I bought it for convenience and size without checking for a power rating...which I did not find in the description. I like the size. It is Easy to store, quick to the mess. The hand held Stain Trapper is nice keeping the mess out of the big tank, but a few days after using the machine, I discovered some dirty water still goes into the main tank and because I did not clean it immediately, it really smelled when I discovered it. The sprayer was nice to help dilute the urine accident, but at times, it sprayed too wide on to the unspoiled area. If caught early, on my carpet, you can keep the accident area small. However, The big problem and the reason it is being returned is the lack of suction. My Shaw Pet Proof carpet does not allow water or dirt to go though the backing to the carpet pad or floor. Therefore, any moisture stays on the surface to be picked up by a vacuum or carpet cleaner. This shows just how much water is left in the carpet rather than having it hide in the pad. Even the water from an ice cube will remain where it is until it is cleaned up or evaporates. After using the Bissell, the carpet remained very wet and I had to dry the carpet further with a towel. If this is the case, I may as well use my old method of applying water with a spray bottle, use my Rainbow to pick up as much water as I can and dry the cleaned area with a towel....all without the extra expense, just extra manipulation of equipment. UPDATE 12/14/220 I decided to give the machine a second chance (moving from three stars to four) and found by using the regular brush rather than the Stain Trapper, the suction was much better. Because of the good points above: size and convenience I will keep experimenting. I may have to get a short grounded extension cord, however, as I live in an older house and not all of my outlets have been changed to grounded plug-ins.

Really happy with my purchase after using quite often in the last few months. We got a puppy...with lots of accidents. This thing has been awesome. We have a big floor shampooer but I wanted something easier to pull out and use and this is the ticket! Very strong suction, convenient and overall easy to use especially with the Pet Head attachment- this has saved numerous amounts of time from cleaning the whole machine. All the dirt/kunk/pee/pooh, gets added inside this head and eliminates the need of cleaning the whole machine! awesome! (Hint- we mix a whole patch of cleaner and leave it in, and then its ready to go immediately and the head is the only thing we really have to clean after we use it!)

I have had many full size carpet cleaners and portable carpet cleaners over the years. The Bissell product is superior to the other well-known brands. It sprays a solution out without heavy drips or concentrations in one area. I would say it pulls back about 80% of the solution out of the carpet, leaving them only damp. They are usually dry within an hour or two. The reason I gave it four stars rather than five is the actual tool is a little narrow. I think the effectiveness and ease of spot cleaning would be so much better with a wider tool.

It’s good works better for cleaning stains in car on seats.

I like it. Use it for spot cleaning only.

This is amazing! I love my cat, but she has the nasty tendency to pee where she shouldnt when she gets anxious. She has horrible separation anxiety, and its happened on many occasions where my partner and I leave our house and come home to a bed or couch smelling like pee. Before this we were doing every trick in the book. Baking soda, vinegar, enzyme cleaners. I was even debating hiring a professional cleaning company to come by and get the smell out (specifically this was for our couch because I was at my wits end). This cleaner is amazing!! Ive been using an enzyme cleaner first, and then going over the spots with this machine and the cleaner it comes with. Not only does it get rid of the smell completely, but it is so quick and there is no stains! Not just no stain from the kitty, but no stains from any cleanser even on white fabric. I cannot emphasize how much this has saved my life and my home, and I cannot recommend this enough. Its also super easy to use. Im not very strong, but I can easily fill this up and carry the machine where I need it. I was so hesitant to try this because cat urine is such a different beast to try and get out of things. If youre in the same boat as I was, I highly highly recommend giving this a go. Itll save you so much money and so much time instead of trying to clean things by hand.

It was really good at soaking the seats in my truck and the suction is incredible. 10/10 would recommend.

The Bissell Spot Clean Pet Pro is easy to use, cleans deeply, and pulls dirt out of the carpet well. It’s easy to fill and to clean. It’s lighter than a vacuum cleaner.
