Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a really nice little shampooer. I have a dog with medical problems resulting in recurrent issues with soiled carpet. Since we are remodeling I am not too concerned with the carpet being hurt but flooring is down on the list of tasks for 12 to 24 months. I purchased this to keep my sanity without having professional crews in every 3 weeks. I was impressed with the cleaning ability of it, the suction, and the cleaning solution that comes in the package. Having owned kirby, rug doctor, Hoover, electrolux, and other brands. None of them cleaned better than this small unit. That having been said, I also used the solution at half or less than the recommended ratio to help avoid the dreaded hard carpet and super soiled spots from soap being left in the carpet. The u it is VERY easy to clean after use. If the dirty water compartment was less tight there would be leaking problems. The plastic is sturdy enough for intended use unless you intentionally want to use them for a basket ball or target practice. I have avoided Bissel products until now due to continual bad reviews but I am pleased so far about this unit. Nice for the price.
