I realy love this machine, I have two cats, two kids, and a messy husband-this machine is invaluable! It is a bit heavy, I would not want to lug it up and down steps, but it dose a fabulous job. I have cream colored carpeting on my main floor and have cleaned many spills with this steam cleaner. My carpet looks a good today as it did four years ago, all thank sto this machine. Maneuverability This machine is easy to push and pull, I am only rating it good instead of very good because it dose not turn very sharp. That said it turns as good as any onther steam cleaner I have used. It is easy to turn, and that is more important in my oppinion. Ease of Maintenance It is very easy to take off and clean the dirty water jug as well as the clean water jug. I usualy soak the dirty jug and attachment tips in bleach water after cleaning a nasty mess. I also suck bleach water up through the machine after a particularly discusting mess is steamed. Suction Performance It is great at sucking up spills and leaves my carpet damp, not wet, after a use. The carpet is generaly dry with in an hour. Versatility This is awsome for cleaning a whole rug or a smaller section because of the wide bottom and easy to use tool. Design This is a sleak and attractive machine, I love it! Durability It takes a beating and keeps performing. I said previously that it is a bit heavy, but I believe this adds to it's durbility. This is not a delicate flower.

I had borrowed this deep cleaning vacuum from my in-laws because of my dog who had an accident the carpet. It works really well for getting pet stains out of carpets. I was so amazed that I had to buy one myself. I did some basic vacuuming before using this vacuum. I can really tell the difference in the carpet I use this every so often even if my pets don't have an accident. Not only is it good on carpets, it is also good on my throw rug. I have a 6 foot by 8 foot rug and it is good to use on it to. It gets nice and clean. It pulls out any smells and stains. Several applications or sessions of cleaning makes it less of a hassle to clean the carpet each time. I have used other wet vacuums in the past but this is the best one that I have ever used. This is a really great recommended purchase.

As we are in the process of getting our home ready to sell, we were trying to decide if we should get replace the carpet in our living room. We have inside animals and lots of friends stopping by, so it is a high traffic area, and it was starting to look that way. We decided to buy a carpet cleaner, and clean it first. We chose a Bissell Powersteamer Powerbrush. Let me just say, I am so impressed and amazed at well this works. It saved us from replacing the carpet. It is so easy to use and very lightweight to my suprise. It looks like a vaccum cleaner, not a big bulky carpet cleaner, like most I have seen. Left my carpet looking like I hired a team of experts to clean my carpet. I cleaned all the carpets in my home, and I belive it has helped with my allergies. I have noticed in the weeks since I have cleaned the carpets, I breathe easier. It has 4 rows of rotating brushes that removed deep down set in dirt, and grooms your carpet at the same time for a professional look. It has a cleaning tool that allows you to clean your stairs and upholstery. It has different settings for high traffic, Normal, and a water rinse. I used this with carpet cleaning solution, Bissell, pet stain & odor.

I recently purchased the Bissell Powersteamer! I am not sure if I am fully satisified with it or not yet! I liked the price and I like that its pretty light weight! I also like that it works well on my furniture! It even comes with an upholstry attachment! I have 3 boys running around all the time so I have to constantly clean the couches and such and this is a great tool for that! I also like that it is easy to fill and empty! It is also very easy to use the right measuremtn for the solution since it gives you a seperate container to put that in. I had difficulties getting my carpet clean with this item though! It worked somewhat but not as well as I would have liked! Let me add though that my carpet has a sort of raised design diamond pattern in it though so I think it is hard for the brushes to clean down into the patterns! I am a little confused about why it is called a "powersteamer" because the water only gets as hot as your tap water will get. I definately didnt see any steam when I was using this product but I may be wrong! I definately recommend this item if you have a flat carpet with no raised patterned designs! It also works great on furniture dont forget!

I bought this deep cleaner a few weeks ago, and I still love watching all the dirt come up with this deep cleaner!  I've even volunteered to to my parents carpet at their house!  This is incredibly easy to use and well worth the money.  I have three cats and a dog, and this deep cleaner has saved me from throwing them all outside!  Now if the dog knocks over a drink onto my area rug, I can just get out my deep cleaner and have it smelling like new in just a few minutes!  I usually set the soap level to heavy traffic in my house which uses a lot of soap, but the smell is worth it.  I thought I was going to have to put new carpet in my house, but this was cheaper and does a great job.  The water tank is easy to fill and easy to empty.  The cord isn't very long, so if you have a larger room, that would be something to consider.  The upholstery brush does as good of a job as those little individual upholstery cleaners.  And those are nearly as much as this full sized deep cleaner!  Highly recommend!  Especially if you have pets!  Oh!  And even my little vacuum apparently doesn't get all the hair out of my carpet, but the brush on this deep cleaner picks up the hair.  It doesn't suck it up, I usually end up with hair piles on my carpet, but once it's dry I can just vacuum those up.  So, what you think is clean, isn't really until you've used this deep cleaner!

This is one item that you MUST have if you have pets, kids, and a ........HUSBAND! This little machine cleans great and leaves behind a fresh and pleasant aroma, excellent for Spring cleaning for after-the-winter closed up odors.  Easy to use, afordable, easy to clean and store away once the job is done! Also nicely cleans vehicle interiors. Love it!

I got this Bissell Powerbrush Steam Cleaner about a month ago and I never looked back!  The day me and my husband got this, he put it together and we used it that evening after putting the baby to bed.  The carpet that we have was only about 1 year old, but it was worn down from the baby's messiness along with having a few accidents on it from the dog when we were still house-breaking her in the puppy stage.  We also live in a dirt driveway, and when it rains...it becomes very muddy.  Even though we take off our shoes at the door, the mud and dirt would still be tracked into the house.  We used this machine once and wow...it made the carpets look almost brand new again!  I couldn't keep my husband from using it throughout the house!  It took away all the bad smells that was in the carpet from the pet messes and the ground in food from the baby.  This was worth the money!  It doesn't have the heater element in it, but honestly...you don't really need it!  As long as the water that you use is warm/hot, it will do the job perfectly.  Some people say that it leaks when it isn't being used, while it is sitting between uses, but it hasn't leaked once with us for the past month.  Just make sure you drain all the water out of it before you put it up.  You can keep the soap in it and it won't leak.  Simply reading the instructions from front to back will tell you everything to keep it running for years to come!  Overall, I find it was a great investment and it will be used at least a few times a year if not monthly!

I have recently purchased the Bissel Power Steamer Vacuum and I used it throughou my house and even on my car rugs.  I had never used one befoe and so I was a little skeptical if thes would really clean.  Well, now I know this one is great and I really feel like my rugs are clean.  I also cleaned my couch with the Bissel Power Steamer Vacuum and I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome.  I had went out and bought a couch cover because my couch was loking pretty dingy and after I used this Bissel Power Steamer Vacuum I actually do not even have to use the couch cover any more.  It looks great now.  I also have two cats at home and my rugs would collect the hair and dirt.  This machine really picked up that hair and I could literally see the amount of dirt that it picked up because of the dirt water I would empty after using it.  Wow, now I feel like I truely have a clean house and I recomend this product in every household.
