Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet Carpet Cleaner, 2987,Green/ Black

We bought this to help with spot cleaning after the pets and kids between professional carpet cleanings. For that purpose, it was incredibly effective and efficient. After cleaning up a few spots, there was still cleaner in the tank, so I decided to try and clean one of our rugs. It was so far gone that I figured trying to clean it couldnt hurt. To my delight and surprise, this machine breathed new life into the rug! It went from grey and seemingly faded to the beautiful blues and greys that inspired me to buy it in the first place. And better yet, the whole thing took only about 20 minutes. Like others have said, the tank is small. I cant imagine trying to do a whole room or a particularly egregious job with this. It seems perfect for spot cleaning and the occasional rug, not as a replacement for getting our rugs professionally done once or twice a year.

I have lived at this apartment going on 3 years now and have only vacuumed before. I have two cats and two dogs, one of which is elderly and the other is a puppy. My Review: The instructions werent very good for someone who has never used a carpet cleaner before, though I did appreciate the diagrams regarding how to take it apart and clean it. As far as the actual cleaning, it does seem to work really well, but I can confirm the numerous reviews that it takes many hours for even half of a normal sized room. It is also rather annoying how often you have to dump out the dirty water and add fresh, it really wears your back out bending over a ton and then walking with the machine for hours. For someone who hadnt had their carpet cleaned in years, it took me over 4 hours just to do a 6x6 foot section of my bedroom and I was still pulling up dirty water - be sure to set aside 8 or so hours if your situation is similar to mine and youre attempting a reasonable sized section at once. I will acknowledge that, for the price of this one vs the many others out there, it does its job if youre willing to put in the time and effort. Additional Tips: + Wear Earbuds/Headphones, the carpet cleaner is loud like a normal vacuum, so just leaving a TV on or something isnt good enough. + Wear a Mask if Chemical Smells bother you. Though the Bissell Pet Pro with Febreze smells better than just the Pet Stain and Odor one, both are really strong and gave me massive headaches. + Keep a window open. Even if the Chemical Smell doesnt bother you it really helps to have fresh air during the cleaning and after.

I ordered another small unit just to clean up pet stains and it actually didn’t work at all, it was another vendor. I called product service and was advised to return it. So I started reading the reviews again on Amazon and watching customer videos and decided to give Bisdell turbo clean power brush pet a try. Well it came in a day and I used it the same day it arrived. It works great. I have a few area rugs and have a 6 month old puppy. The Bissell is easy to put together just a few slide on pieces, instructions are clear and I cleaned all four of my area rugs. I was truly amazed how great the rugs look now. I certainly was paying the carpet cleaning a lot more than what this Bissell cost, very affordable. I highly recommended it. Just follow the instructions and it will work great!

I love this shampooer it is the first I e ever had that sprays out good but also pulls the water back out of the carpet. AND your carpet looks clean. And not a bad price tag either look at my white carpet again. Easy to use WOW!!! I LOVE IT!!!

I went from living in a house covered in hardwood floors to a much larger house covered in carpet. We have 2 dogs and a toddler and really needed something to help keep the carpet clean and stain free. We’ve had a few dog accidents (new home probably caused this) and our two year old spilled a red drink on the floor. Neither of these were a challenge for this cleaner. And when I say I am SHOCKED at the amount of dog hair this thing picked up, I mean it! Pretty embarrassed actually, but glad to have something to help!

Needed a carpet shampooer in general but especially because I have two cats and one is very picky about his litter box and it doesnt take much for him to decide to use the living room carpet instead. Looking through different models to find a decent budget one that wasnt too expensive I found this one and saw many good reviews. I decided to check if there were any used units available to save some more money and ordered one listed as used in good condition with cosmetic blemishes. When I got it in it turned out to be brand new. Everything was still wrapped and bagged, and neither water tank had any trace of ever being used nor had any odors. So the verdict? It cleans well but I have three minor quibbles with it. The first is the position of the power switch. Its on the back and almost at the bottom. This requires you to either bend down to the floor or lift it high enough to access it. Its not very heavy but still a bit awkward and I wouldve preferred a switch near the top or on the handle somewhere. The second thing concerns spraying solution. Commonly with upright shampooers youll start by moving it back and forth over the carpet while leaning it backwards at an angle with the head up off the surface and locked so you can spray cleaning solution as a presoak where needed. Then once the required amount of time has passed for the dirt and soils to have loosened and started dissolving you put it back down and shampoo like normal. With this machine however doing this will waste a good amount of the cleaning solution as it immediately sucks what looks like half of it back up. Im guessing either the suction is that strong, the spray nozzle is too close to the intake, or both. The third thing is minor and barely warrants mentioning but its still something I wish were different. The waste water tank is held down by clamps on either side. Youll have to bend all the way over and reach nearly to the bottom on both sides to snap them open. This isnt difficult and they snap open/closed easily but having used a different brand in the past where the waste water tank simply slid up and out, I wish it were more like that. I docked only one star for all of this. Its still a nice budget machine and Im satisfied with it.

Pet messes are a package deal when it comes to owning a cat or dog or any pet that is capable of puking or peeing or pooping on the floor. This carpet cleaner works very well and is super simple to use. Its got a small tank so it doesnt take long to fill up. Its not intended to scrub the whole house so dont expect it do so unless you plan on continuously emptying the reservoir multiple times. It is specifically for spot clean up. It works very well and is easy to take apart to clean after each use. No more stress of stains or smells after your pet has an accident. The Bissell carpet cleaner will take care of it.

For over a decade now, I have run a company that supplies, trains, and services professional carpet cleaners, so I hope you will pardon me if I act like I know what Im talking about, lol. I have used everything from a Rug Doctor, all the way up through professional truck mounted machines. I have cleaned carpet and floors in trashed-out apartments, high end hotels, expensive lake houses, hospitals, and everything in between. Urine, vomit, blood, feces, coffee, Kool-aid, you name it and Ive cleaned it. No matter what equipment you use, the concept of getting soil out of a carpet is the same - use the proper type and amount of chemistry, proper heat level in the water, proper agitation to suspend soil, and proper removal of that water with the soil in it. Appropriate dwell time is also necessary for deeply embedded or chronic soiling issues. This machine is quite capable of producing all the proper elements when used correctly. I do, however, have a few recommendations on changes to the instructions given with the machine. First and foremost, use only half of the detergent that they tell you to. No matter how much soil is present, never ever use more than they suggest. I used only half and achieved fantastic results. I would imagine the full dose is only necessary for serious soil issues. Secondly, double up on the amount of dry strokes that you do, AKA passes that you make without pulling the trigger. Keep going over the carpet with the machine until you no longer see any water coming up through the window in the front. The carpet will still feel damp to the touch, but will be dry much more quickly this way. And last, do a freshwater rinse afterward with nothing but water in the clean hopper. NO detergent. You will see a tremendous amount of leftover detergent and soil residue coming up in the freshwater rinse (this step might seem like a pain, but you will be very glad you did it once you realize that otherwise, all of that residue would have been left behind in the carpet for you to walk on.) Follow up with the same double amount of dry strokes after the fresh rinse. No carpet cleaning machine, no matter how powerful, can remove years of soil build-up in just one use. Particularly if the soil has gotten down to the bottom of the carpet, where it is sewn or glued into its backing. Trying to soak the carpet and get all the way down there has the potential to destroy the carpets binding and destroy it. So dont bother. (NOTE BENE: This machine, or any other home machine for that matter, is not going to get pet urine out of the padding thats installed under the carpet, and soaking the carpet in an attempt to do so is only going to result in serious problems and microbial growth. Dont do it. Please.) The big difference between home cleaning and the professional truck mounted units is the amount of time its going to take to get the same result. You may have to use the machine multiple times, with a few days in between to let it dry completely, to get abused carpet to look and smell good again. And remember that soil and damage are two different things, so if your carpet is worn or abraded or has had its pile reversed by foot traffic, that is not something that can be cleaned away. It is damage, not dirt. So dont expect miracles. The brush on this machine is very good at fluffing the pile up and correcting crush damage, and it dug an amazing amount of pet hair out of our freize even after a thorough vacuuming. If you are willing to be patient, use the machine multiple times, and follow all of the advice Ive given, there is no reason you cannot get almost as good a result from this machine as you would from having a professional come do it for you. The difference is in the time its going to take, both in the cleaning and in running back and forth with the water hoppers. I still recommend hiring a professional for those serious yearly deep cleans, but if you have pets or small children in the house this machine is an excellent way to avoid add-on charges for chronic soil and serious restoration issues when you do have the professionals come in to service you.

This product is amazing. We just moved into our new apartment and after putting our area rug down from our old apartment, we noticed that our dog had soiled the same area repeatedly, but now we were able to smell the stench. I tried so many thing to get rid of it and finally bought this unit. Let me tell you, it did wonders and removed the pee stains and to our surprise, picked up so much dirt!!! Highly recommend this to apartment renters who need an apartment friendly carpet cleaner! 10/10

I received this thing on February 14, 2023 to replace a competitors machine that broke after only a few uses (I know. I should have read the reviews, but it was a very popular, trusted brand, so I trusted them. Silly me!) Well, this one did the same thing. It worked perfectly when it worked, but this morning I went to use it and it died. It smelled like rubber burning and then made a wretched noise so I turned it off. I called Bissell since it was past the return to Amazon date and they were awesome! They said theyd send me a new one to replace it and I didnt have to beg, threaten or plead with them to make things right. I asked if I could pay for an upgrade instead of getting the same one, but they said Id have to talk to Amazon about that, so Ill do that and, hopefully, I can pay the difference and get a sturdier model. Either way, Im very impressed with their customer service and, if the new shampooer works, Ill be even happier!!
