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

This was the 2nd machine i purchased as I couldn’t decide between the Rug doctor model and this one. After owning/using both of them, I ended up returning this one. There are some great features to this machine and there are some big downsides too. PRO’S: Easy to use, easy to scrub, super long cord, GREAT formula (Bissell Pet Pro OXY Urine Eliminator) - this stuff works and cleans well (smells decent too), machine doesn’t kick out that much bad smelling stuff compared to other brands. I like that when it comes to cleaning, the handle is small for your hand (to wrap around it) and you can scrub in a back and forth motion (with some other brands, you can’t do this). CON’S: The lack of suction power is the biggest letdown. While this is stronger then the rest of the machines under this model at 4.9, this is where the Rug Doctor beats it. The Rug Doctor has the strongest suction power out of any machine on the market (it’s at 10). I did a test. I cleaned/sucked up a urine stain on my rug with the Bissell - took me about 20 minutes to clean and suck it up fully (or so i thought). The next day, I went to go touch the spot and it was still noticeably wet. This time I used my Rug Doctor machine over the same spot to see if anything else would be sucked up. THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT of liquid still left over needing to be sucked up! I couldn’t believe it. I spent an additional 10-15minutes sucking up the remainder of what was there w/ my Rug Doctor. The Rug Doctor sucked up the rest of it, and the carpet was dry afterwards. So the suction power on the Bissell is def inferior compared to the Rug Doctor unit but then again the Rug Doctor is at 10 and is going to beat any machine underneath it. OTHERS CONS w/ the Bissell: Everything snaps into place and this is okay but it feels flimsy like it will break or wear soon. It would benefit from either a thicker, sturdier snap or 2 snap mechanisms. The plastic is thin where you attach the scrub brush handle, so if you are heavy handed, it is possible that this is something that could break sooner than later. Better, sturdier design would help prevent this from occurring. The tanks: Both tanks just sit in the unit. They don’t lock in nor snap in. It would be nice if they locked in. They don’t seem to sit flush even when they’re full. It is tricky to empty the dirty water tank. If you don’t remove the top part, the plastic piece will shoot out the top while you empty it. You can remove the top part to empty that tank further but it doesn’t seem to get everything out no matter what method you do. This is something that will eventually gunk up over time as you use it (unless you hose it down outside). I didn’t use the stain trapper tool so i can’t comment on that. It’s not a horrible unit but I returned it because of the lack of suction power compared to my Rug Doctor unit. I need a unit that is going to not only clean the accidents my dogs have, but i need it to SUCK IT AWAY. That’s why I am buying this thing, to suck it away! This doesn’t suck it fully. That’s why i returned it. I want to smell a clean smell, not a urine one.

I wish I had this years ago. I use this all the time at present as we have a new puppy, currently 10 weeks old and potty training. But it was also a life saver when we had a sunfoof leak in an old car. It sucked out multiple buckets from the floor of our car. We had those crazy weeks of rain here in Ca. and after the second round of water removal with the Bissel we got smart and got a car cover until we were able to find someone to repair the leak. 1. Works Great with puppy piddles 2. Good suction 3. The brush Does rough up material/carpet a bit, so be gentle with areas you want to keep smooth. 4. Have not used the larger attachment, if its solid I pick up with tissue, then go over it with the regular attachment to lighty clean any smell. 5. Small amount of leaking from the sprayer, but thats normal I think. It happened with the industrial verions we rented to clean all the carpet Overall very useful, helps me stay sane knowing I can clean the carpet better than trying to use sprays, rags and lots of scrubbing

Sucks dirt out of carpets and seat

Finally had made the decision to purchase and I’ve used it on my dining chairs, my carpet, couches, and I’ve used it to deep clean my car and I will never regret buying it. It’s come in handy for kids stains when my nieces come over and drop juice on the carpet or chairs. In an hour I had all my dining chairs looking brand new as they have light tan fabric on the seats. The pet solution worked effortlessly on the carpet when my puppy had a few accidents. Don’t hesitate just get it you’ll never look back.
