Best Bissell Handheld Vacuum Cleaners

I wish I'd had this sooner. I have a senior dog, a cat and numerous foster animals and this is the easiest device for cleaning up and keeping my… Read more

carpets nice in a house full of beasties. I've been a foster carer for 15 years so my house has seen more than it's share of animal accidents. If I could afford it I'd be buying the shelter a handful of these so that other foster carers could access them for some easy clean up after our visitors.

Disappointing – Fortunately I used my flybuys points to purchase this as I’d be returning it if I had purchased this from a retailer. It’s very heavy, and hurts my… Read more

arm to use it. The rotating scrubbing brush barely touches the carpet so I have to push down really hard simply to get some scrub action on my stain. And due to the weight and the need to push down so hard it’s painful on my forearm. The clean water tank requires a ratio of about 3:1 water to carpet clean solution. And since it quite easily utilises a full tank on one spot, ur using a significant volume of solution. The bottle of bissel solution will be gone by the time I’ve done another couple stains. It’s probably good for 4 stains/spots. And considering the price of the bissel solution it’s not at all economical. The suction is minimal, my carpets are left very wet afterwards. I was hoping this would be easier/more practical than my cheap vax carpet shampooer, but due to the fact you only get 20mins of powered cleaning, and the scrubbing brush barely touching the carpet, I managed to do 1 or 2 spots before I had to recharge. I recharged, leaving the clean tank refilled ready to go. Next day I went to do the other couple marks only the find the clean water tank had leaked, even tho I had the machine correctly positioned upright so as to avoid leaking (the instructions state that it leaks if on its side or if you clean a sofa in a downward motion) turns out it leaks upright too.

One positive I can attribute to this appliance is how easy it is to clean the machine itself. No screws to remove the scrubbing brush, it just pops out which I really like. M Other than that, I’ll probably continue to use my vax even tho it’s heavy and big, and a huge pain due to its size, it cleans almost as well as a professional carpet cleaning machine. And it takes 2 seconds to clean a stain- the bissel takes much longer and does a sub-sufficient job aswell.
