I recently bought this to clean 20+ year-old carpet that I usually have professionally cleaned ($300+) every year or two. I have two dogs that roam 3+ fenced-in acres and they do come in dirty (but wiped/washed down) during our “mud season” here in Ohio. To make a long story short, the Bissell, to this point, has been a Godsend.
Several reviews we have seen mentioned that the machine either doesn’t clean well or leaks. My limited experience refutes those problems. First, it’s important to realize that the machine is NOT a vacuum cleaner and should NOT be operated as such. You go over an area SLOWLY and suck up the cleaning solution SLOWLY, just as the directions say. I also found out that overlapping the cleaning and vacuum passes (especially the vacuum passes) results in much cleaner results. It also helps to thoroughly clean the machine after each use. Make sure when cleaning the machine to reassemble it correctly, i.e., don’t cross-thread any screw-on caps and make sure all parts are seated properly. Some of the leakage problems that others have mentioned may also be related to dripping from the wet rollers. This was solved by moving the unit to a vinyl floor while emptying or refilling the tanks (this, unfortunately, needs to be done frequently in deep-clean mode) or placing an old towel under the machine to prevent dirty water from getting back on the carpet from the rollers. Or you can just go over the area again.
The cleaning solutions have worked as advertised and I will continue to buy them as needed.
In short, I am well-pleased with my purchase and would recommend this product to anyone. Just read the instructions!

I am going to be honest and say that we were a little hesitant in purchasing this machine at first.
Before buying any type of machine for the house, I always peek at the lower reviews to see common flaws or complaints and a few people mentioned the machine leaking or easy to break. (I have been burned too many times in the past so I’m very careful)
I watched videos on youtube and that inspired me to take a chance and purchase this steam cleaner.
And guess what?
We LOVE this steam cleaner & I just finished using it before writing this up 🙂
We had to find a cleaning machine to help out because we have an aging dog that is having a couple “accidents” every week on the carpet.
Getting a pro out once per month started to get expensive so we wanted to find a home unit that actually worked and was easy to clean up.
This is it!
We use the recommended soap, very hot water, and this thing works like a champ.
Carpet comes out clean and soft, not stiff from dried soap, as other people have mentioned here.
Plus it is SUPER easy to clean up.
I waited for 2 full months before submitting my comments here to make sure all was going well and this machine rocks!
If you need a home machine, take a good look at this one.

My last carpet cleaner was the Hoover Power Scrub. I used it for at least 3 years and have 3 dogs. Basically I used the Hoover every month and wore it out. Used the new Bissell today and here are my thoughts. The Hoover has larger capacity water/soap container and dirty water tank. The Hoover picked up more dirt as displayed by the color of the dirty water. Both machines left me a wet carpet that took hours to dry-longer than both companies tell you. I liked the double row of brushes with the Bissell. The Bissell soap smells weird-or maybe it was the carpet cleaner motor but it’s not really pleasant. The Bissell is easier to take apart to clean. The Bissell costs twice as much as the Hoover.

Green Machine 86T3 vs ProHeat 2x revolution max is difficult to find as a good comparison at the time of this review. I will address both pros and cons of the Proheat in comparison to green machine specifically. DISCLAIMER: proheat is designed and intended for home use application, the green machine (both made by Bissell) is intended for much more commercial use applications, I got it.
PROS in comparison to Green Machine
– warranty – they both have a 5 year warranty
– cleaning – The biggest factor for most. The cleaning capability of this machine is without a doubt comparable to that of the green machine. (There is a but to follow in the cons)
– machine clean up – this is a big factor for some. Cleaning the aftermath of this machine was impressively simple. Everything pops out and snaps in making cleanup a breeze. In comparison to the green machine, you can easily keep this machine looking new after each use, not so much so with the green machine.
– accessories – The accessories pack included with this machine really are nice. It comes with a nice little mesh bag to hold everything, and the tools are useful. In comparison, the upholstery cleaners is a bit narrower than that of the green machine, but it does also dry vac to a small container too.
– Maneuverability – My wife’s big factor. The machine is lightweight and maneuverable for sure. One-handed operation without a doubt. (There is a but in cons for this too). The Green machine operates like a heavy duty machine.
– filling and emptying of the tank – small factor for some but important still. Super easy. Literally pull them out and push them in. In comparison, I would say they are the same, the green machine you pick up and set down.
CONS in comparison to Green Machine
– tank sizes – A major factor for me. The clean tank is one gallon, this is average for most home use machines, no big complaint there. In comparison it is literally half the size of green machine sitting at 2 gallons. The problem here is the dirty tank (bottom). The dirty tank appears to be bigger than the clean tank, HOWEVER, only a quarter of it will fill (about a quarter gallon) before it’s at max capacity resulting in multiple dump trips before your done with one clean tank. In comparison, the green machine has about a 1.75 gallon dirty tank that accepts the whole 1.75 gallons. Much fewer dump trips.
– efficiency (drying power) – this machine I would rate at about 30% efficiency in my opinion. The carpets were still very very wet after a “max” clean. To put a visual on this, I can step on the carpet (195 lbs) and almost feel water come between my toes. The carpet did not dry completely until about 24 hours later with a box fan blowing on it. This left the carpet smelling of mildew, almost like a dirty dish rag. In comparison, the green machine was dry enough to walk on when completed and completely dry within 2 -3 hours.
– price – at the time of this review both products are $299 which is a steep price to pay for a product that is not as efficient as the green machine but marked at the same price.
SUMMARY!
By number there is far more pros than there are cons, however for me personally the cons have more weight than the pros. The Green Machine wins this round between the two. HOWEVER, if you are accepting of the tank dumps and can deal with a wet carpet for several hours, this machine will impress you very much. In comparison to ALL other machines out there it is superior in cleanliness by far!

I really like the way you can take it apart and clean it. Even if you don’t have pets they fill up with hair and lint much worse than a normal vacuum. I used it on my dads white short pile carpet (about 12 years old). he does not have pets. It still filled up with lint. he was going to replace his carpet. He now wants to buy one of these and keep his carpet. So it is a great investment. I used it at my house I have 3 large dogs. I have a thick pile carpet (about 3 years old) It works great on that too. However, the thing I don’t like about it is on express clean I don’t feel it puts down enough water. On deep clean it dumps water. I feel that it needs a third setting in between the two. I just usually leave it on express clean and go over the area a couple times. That seems to work great. Overall I would recommend this product.

This thing worked amazingly. I had dog pet stains all in the carpet and it picked up hair even the Dyson vacuum didn’t get! Easy clean up as well.

Have to say while I’m happy with the cleaner, I’m upset with Amazon pricing. No sooner started using it then I see an infomercial on TV to buy it directly from Bissell for essentially the same price as Amazon, free S&H, PLUS comes with a 10′ hose (instead of 8), 3-in1 stair tool ($51) and stain trapper tool ($49)

Let me start by saying I wrote off all home carpet cleaners several years ago because no matter how expensive or how nice they were they all had the same problem, cleaning them after use. This new Bissell design however has taken that known issue and eliminated the worst part of it. Never have I had such access to the suction tunnels and brushes that you have with this machine. The ease of cleaning is amazing so it brought me back to the home carpet cleaner bandwagon so to speak.
This unit came packaged very well, and by very well I mean it was in a giant box, inside that giant box was another large box and filling for the empty space, inside that box was finally the product box. Inside the product box the machine was tightly packaged as you would find with any cleaner or vacuum when purchased so no surprises there. However I would like to commend Bissell for not using a ton of Styrofoam so kudos there.
Assembly was quite straight forward, all 4 pieces snap together easily and only 1 Phillips head screw needed to be installed. After consulting the manual I was able to figure out how to take apart the front section for cleaning so I was prepared.
Cleaning was a breeze especially with the flat design and getting under the end of beds or furniture. I also appreciate the fact that the accessories and hose come in a separate bag that only need to be attached to the machine when you are using them so leaving less bulk when using the main unit. Another kudos from me on this part. Main carpet portion was straight forward and using the foot controlled “extra” hot shot was pretty nice as well. Basically if you have a spot coming up in front of you there is a foot pedal you can step on that will squirt hot cleaner solution on the spot before the machine gets there to help assist with the removal of said spot.
The handheld attachments made quick work of my couches even with my dogs still laying on it. very easy to attach to the machine and very easy to use. If you have ever had a home carpet cleaning machine you will find most of these things pretty similar.
Now the cleanup. Super easy with the removable pieces off the brush heads. The only part I had to bend down and clean while still on the machine were the brush heads themselves. Ease of access and there was even a tool included to assist cleaning these brushes.
I know this seems like a lot of information but I wanted to makes sure I expressed anything I found so anyone looking at buying this unit could see my interaction with it first hand and hopefully help them make their decision. Long story short I would absolutely recommend this to anyone with carpet cleaning needs in their home. My mother in law has already been eyeballing mine
Good luck and enjoy you will not be disappointed with this machine.

Let me learn y’all something real quick. This thing right here, was sculpted by gods in Olympus ok? I’d rate it a 87 out of 10 if I could. Let me tell you why. Our dogs have magnets on their feet that apparently attract every dirt particle one could find. I didn’t know there was that much dirt on the party’s crust but of course my dogs found it. Anyway our carpet was so dirty from earth’s skin and potty accidents and everything else under the sun so we bought this. We set it up and I picked the dirtiest spot in the carpet and said “let’s see how deep, deep clean means” and I tell you Sammy it looked like 1 strip of brand new carpet. This thing is amazing and if I could find out the inventor of suck amazingness I’d probably get on my knee and ask them to marry me. All the stars given.

This is AMAZING. I can’t even believe it.
It really is like the commercials. We had pet stains on our master bedroom carpet. We replaced the carpet before moving in 4 years ago. A year later, we got a puppy. And, yeah…pet stains. We’ve had our carpet cleaned TWICE by professionals. The first one was ok but the second cleaning didn’t do anything except for wet the dang carpet that took daaaaays to dry. One treatment with the Bissell – NO MORE PET STAINS. WOW. I never thought a home product would work so well. The cost of the Bissell was probably less than what we paid the last jerks to ‘professionally’ clean our carpet.
It is heavy but not unwieldy – meaning, heavy duty but not hard to work or use. I also have their Spot Bot and it’s ok but leaves a kind of ‘crop circle.’ This is like vacuuming but sucking up stains as you do so. We have an upholstered chair that I need to treat with their attachment so I will follow up when I’ve done so.

After ordering (and promptly RETURNING) a Rug Doctor (I’m challenging your credentials, Sir) carpet cleaner, I ordered the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Full-Size Carpet Cleaner. It came well-packaged and was an absolute snap to assemble, even with a team of cats “helping” me put it together. Eager to tackle one of the thousands of disgusting hairball stains in my house (ok so maybe it just felt like thousands) I filled this baby up with the enclosed sample of cleaning solution. You guys. This thing kicks major butt. Unlike the ATM-sized monstrosity that was the Rug Doctor, this machine is lightweight and compact but with the spirit and eagerness of a girl scout selling her last box of cookies. There are a lot of great features to mention but my favorites so far are the heating element which nearly renders the carpet dry as it cleans, and the ease with which the tanks are removed & replaced. There’s no buckles, locks, or riddles. You literally just pull the handle and the little fellas just shimmy right on out of there. Another great perk is the “CleanShot Pre-treat” feature which is controlled by a foot-pedal and allows you to shoot a stream of hot solution directly onto the more stubborn areas and stains. The only criticism I can think of, and its a small one, is that it can be a bit tricky to clean the pet hair out of the front tray (the clear part that everything sucks up in to…not sure what the techy term is?). THANKFULLY, Bissell includes a plastic do-hickey (I’m 99% sure that’s the techy term for this one) that makes this gross job much less tedious. If you are like me and have been disappointed by other major brands of cleaners (I’m looking at you, Hoover, Shark, and Rug “Doctor”) do yourself a favor and invest in this one. She won’t let you down!

This carpet cleaner is fantastic. I got this specifically to help with fleas and… well… when you have two Siberian Huskies, something has to help with the carpet. I use a Dyson Animal 2 Vacuum first to pick up fur, then run the Bissell over it afterwards. If you have ever used a Dyson Animal 2, you should know how well it does. You can see the fleas inside the container with all the fur if you look hard enough. However, when I was pouring out the dirty water container from the Bissell, it made the Dyson look like it hadn’t accomplished anything. It’s like Poseidon came up and drowned all those little bastards.
This unit is easy to assemble, easy to use, and more importantly, easy to clean. Super effective and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a higher end “residential” carpet cleaner.

I have English Bulldogs and for anyone who knows this breed it means drool the likes of which could be used for industrial lubricant. And that is BEFORE the drool attracts dirt. Because of my dogs I have my carpets commercially cleaned every six months and was never completely happy with the cleaners they used or how wet they left the carpets. Note that I have never used a rental machine so I cannot speak to them. This machine is great! My carpet is cleaner (and was left less wet) than any service I have hired in the past. I used the cleaners and pet re-treat products made by Bissell and this machine. I hope this machine lasts because it is the best clean I have ever experienced.
The machine was easy to assemble, with clear instructions. I will say that you must pay attention to the “Full” line on the bottom/dirty water container and empty it promptly even though the “Full” line is far below the container actually being visually or physically full. I say this because I noticed that the suction of the machine drops noticeably if you let the container over fill, once you empty the container the suction is back full force.
The only negative I can say about the machine is that it was heavier that I expected but if you follow the instructions for cleaning you will love the results.

I was a bit worried when I ordered this Bissell Pet Pro carpet cleaner if the suction was going to be enough since the front part (where the suction takes place) seemed not heavy enough. I have to say, that I was pleasantly surprised with the total performance. The key is to realize, that it is not a vacuum cleaner (only looks like one), so in the suction mode the machine needs to move slowly. We had our own carpet cleaner before also, but this cleans the carpet much better and it is easier to move. I am very happy with the result. The sample detergent that comes with it is also excellent, I already ordered a full size. One difference compared to other carpet cleaners is, that it is easy to clean as the parts are removable. This is important, because dirt might get stuck and if parts are not removable to clean the machine might get clogged. This was one of the reasons I bought this one.
P. Jenkins –
I have a cat with advanced kidney disease who sometimes chooses the bedroom carpet rather than her 4 litter boxes. I have been using, or should I say fighting with a carpet cleaning machine that’s about 5 years old and a different brand. It was very inconvenient and finicky to set up, very unpleasant to clean, and not all that good at cleaning the carpet. I gave myself the Bissell ProHeat as a birthday gift for myself–and the cat. I put it together and cleaned the bedroom carpet this morning. It was quick and intuitive to set up and start cleaning. Emptying the dirty water and cleaning the machine took just a few minutes, and the design allows the machine to be thoroughly cleaned, unlike my previous machine. Since it will no longer be such an unpleasant production to clean up my cat’s accidents, I know I’ll be more patient with her. Both of us will be happier.

Ordered this machine…had been looking at Hoovers, as CR rates one of those the highest…But then looked at the actual reviews for the Hoover , with the ” Spin Brush ” system , and saw complaint after complaint about the hardware that mounts the brushes. Many reviewers said their spin brushes performance decreased , and when they looked at the Hoover brushes , the metal parts were corroded.!..and these brushes need to rotate freely , because they are ” vacuum driven” …ie not belt drive , as Bissell uses for this machine. Many complaints about rusty parts on the Hoover machine !
So…Got this Bissell…and have loved it so far. It has actually out-performed my expectations. Please take look at the pics. This originally light beige carpet has been in what turned into a ” workout room”…Weight lifting and aerobics done here for 5-6 years now…Never professionally cleaned because of all the crap that is in the way.
I have now cleaned some of this 20 year old carpet with this machine…and I think the amazing results speak for themselves.
Thanks for taking the time to look at this review. IMHO , you cannot go wrong if you buy this machine…worth every cent!
Very user friendly, in the way that the solution and dirty water tanks remove and re- mount. One big tip , which is not addressed in the instructions…The Dirty Water tank has a “Full ” line on the side of it, which is not even halfway up the side of the tank. Make sure to empty this tank by the time the dirty water reaches it. If you let the tank fill upto above this line ( as I did the first few times) , the machine is likely to lose a lot of it’s suction power , and the dirty water tank may even start leaking , when you have the machine handle leaning back , while in use. Once I paid attention to the “FULL” line on the bottom tank , I’ve had zero problems.
Once again….Awesome machine!

Boy, I really wanted to give this thing 5 stars. I wanted to love this thing. And I did. Until I didn’t.
Straight out of the box, it is easy to assemble, light and maneuverable like a vacuum to be used for everyday spills and accidents. I used it day one with no problems. Carpet in our foyer looked good and dried quickly. But two days later, when I needed it again, it stopped after about 5 tank loads. After a fruitless internet search as to why, I called the Amazon helpline who wanted me to turn the machine on and try to talk to them while it was running…..after exhausting all efforts with them and the actual Bissell rep, they recommended a service center. I hemmed and hawed a while and ended up sending it to be exchanged, thinking it was a fluke. The second machine arrived on Christmas Eve, and stopped working on the same day. I finally gave up and took it to the repair center after the holidays. The problem? It needed a new clean water tank. For something called a pro-heat, well….heat it does not. There is no on board way to heat the water, so you are to fill it with hot tap water. Easy, right? Wrong. Apparently, the water out of my tap – the water I use daily to wash dishes with, etc – is hot enough to MELT the tank beyond repair and I had to have it replaced. So now, when I use it, I have to use water barely warm enough to bathe a newborn baby. It doesn’t clean as well as it did when using the hot water. The carpet stays wetter longer because it’s cold and it really puts a damper (pun intended) on my desire to use the machine further.
The tanks are very small, so you’re lucky to get about ten feet done before the dirty tank is screaming to be emptied. Which, in all honesty, it’s not even full when the machine thinks its full. I guess the only real pro is how easy it is to clean. The machine doesn’t “edge” well, but there are hand tools available to get the last 1-2 inches that the machine can’t reach.
I’ve had machines from other companies before. Other brands, even rentals from the grocery store. I’ve never paid this much for a machine and gotten such mediocre results. If I were within my return window, I would send it back.

I have 3 dogs and I do my best to keep the carpets clean and I often use my Bissel power lifter pet vacuum to keep everything looking and smelling fresh (I know what your thinking, does this guy work for Bissell or what!? I don’t!). This past week I woke up to I don’t know what on the carpet! I figured it was about time I invested in a carpet cleaner that works and boy does this work! Took me maybe 2 hours to finish my whole living room but that’s because I did the “deap clean” made 2-3 passes wet and 2 dry. I had to make frequent trips to empty out the dirty water bin and to fill up the 1 gallon water and cleaning solution, but it was all worth it in the end. I would recommend this to anyone! I’m going to try using the hose and tool on my car seats next.
G. Hall –
I’m a pet owner. I’m sure you can already tell where this is going.
I have an older dog that sometimes has some problems going potty. It can lead to accidents on the carpet and be frustrating to clean up. We went through many products. Foams, scrubbers, sprays, DIY tricks, but nothing really cleaned the carpet to levels I was satisfied with. The carpet didn’t feel soft, and regardless of the hours we spent cleaning it still didn’t look completely clean. After browsing Carpet Cleaners for weeks, I finally caved in and purchased this.
The first time you use it, the moment you see the color of the water after it’s suctioned back in, you’ll have no regrets about your purchase. It was nasty. Dirtier than pond water. You really can’t even imagine what’s under the surface until you use the device, and then you still almost won’t believe it. So much gets soaked in the carpet that no surface cleaning will ever be enough. Buy a carpet cleaner if you have pets with accidents. If not this one, than any other, because you will not regret it. No complaints about this brand though so far, I didn’t realize it at the time of purchasing but it even came with free cleaning liquids, which was nice.
Some Tips for those Interested (Things I saw people complain about):
“Leaking device” – Some people complain that their device leaves spots after they finish. The reason for this is that your device did not fully finish suctioning up the liquid once you turned it off, therefore everything that didn’t make it to the dirty tank follows gravity back down onto the carpet. Put your device on a leak-proof surface like tile, put a towel you’re not afraid to get wet under it, and let it sit there for a while.
“Cleaned the spot, but made the floor dirty” – The device involves soaking the floor and then suctioning the water back up after it has soaked up the mess. If you do not completely clean the floor with the device then you will inevitably just spread the mess through dirty water to a larger surface area. The solution is to fully clean and suction the mess. You want the water in the dirty tank to look like the water in the clean tank if you really want to call it “clean”. Which may take multiple cleaning sessions depending on the size of the mess. (Especially if you’re deep cleaning for the first time, which could end up unearthing messes from years back that were hiding under your carpet!)
“Uses too much cleaner” – The cleaner can be a bit expensive for some, especially if you are going through multiple tanks to completely clean the floor. My suggestion would be to use the cleaner for the first run through, then only use water while suctioning until your tank is coming up clean. After that point, use cleaner once more, and you should be good to go, unless the cleaner removes more grime. In that case, repeat until water comes up completely clean with cleaner.
Hope that helps some. As you can tell, I’m no carpet cleaner connoisseur. This is my first time purchasing one so I can’t say how this pairs up with any other, but I have had no complaints about this product and have been very satisfied with my purchase!

I rarely write reviews of products but this one I have to share how pleased I am with. I recived this yesterday and its AMAZING. Very easy to assemble, only 1 Phillips screw to secure the handle to the body. It is very user friendly. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs and my carpet just wasnt coming clean with my Hoover which is only 4 years old. This machine took out stains I have had for years. My wife even was impressed. The carpet has not looked this good in years and all the odors are GONE. I did not want to replace the carpet having all these pets and this was a much cheaper alternative and I figured I have to give it a try and I am glad I did. This machine is amazing and my floors even after a deep cleaning were dry in hours due to the excellent suction on the machine. My living room is 20×16 so it’s not small but not big. I have to say I spent about 1.5 hours shampooing it because it was so bad with many stubborn stains from over the years. I must have emptied the dirty water 15 times but it was black at first. Then after going over it 3 or 4 times it was not clear but it was sure not black. The first few times it basically precleaned and wet and loosened the dirt. Then it sucked all the dirt and stains up. I wish I would have taken before and after pictures because that would say it all without words the pet hair removal was a breeze with this product and the simple tool that comes with it to help remove the hair works great. It litterly took me about 2 mins to clean the hair out after removing the front easy access covers. My 4yr old Hoover would take me 10 mins or more and I still can never remove all the hair and it left the floor very damp. I have not used the powered pet tool yet but it’s seems very well made and I feel very confident it also is designed with pet hair in mind also for a better job. Durability I cant rate yet because I just got it. It seems to be very well made. Going forward when I do shampoo the rooms it wont take 1.5 hours and so many tanks of fresh water. Now maybe 2 to 3 tanks and 15 mins to do that same room. 20×16. I’m very pleased with this product. Bissel you guys really nailed it this time. Also your pet and urine formula is amazing. The odor is completely gone. Now I can have friends over again and not be embarrassed about the stains and pet odor. I think when they do come over they will ask me if I got rid of all my pets lol. I would recommend this to EVERYONE I would give this 6 stars if there were 6.

Forget the notion that you need to have pets to buy the Revolution Pet Pro, its incredible in more ways then I thought it would be. Whoever designed the molding process for the parts is an engineering genius. It was very simple to put together (and take apart). There is a quick set of instructions on a card (if you deplore reading instructions) and thankfully for people like me, a complete instructional brochure on how to take it apart, change the brushes, replace a belt, etc. Didn’t have to *download* a PDF… thank you Bissell. This machine completely comes apart for thorough cleaning, they even give you this tool that hooks the last of the carpet fibers from the front suction area. You can also take the tank apart and clean that thoroughly. It all goes back together easily and tells you with a *click* sound you seated the part correctly. How does it clean though, especially since I don’t have pets… My carpet is off white natural color, shorter pile and shows everything. It has never been professionally cleaned, only spot cleaned here and there for the past 16 years. Even though we don’t have pets, we have *feet* and there were traffic areas, and spots that seemed to be permanent. The whole process of filling the tank and removing the dirty water tank is easy and once you do it several times, its a no-brainer. I used hot tap water and little bit of Folex since I don’t care for that artificial smell of chemicals in my house. I cleaned a full living room, hallway, and four bedrooms. Ran flawlessly and my carpets look brand new, seriously…a very good job. I doubt hiring someone would have produced better results. It was more then satisfying to dump that dirty water from the tank, omg gross stuff. It did take half the day, but that was several large rooms, and I went over them a couple of times, so I ran this machine for hours without a hiccup. I also used the upholstery brush which is very easy to attach, again superb results in a very tight area. I really suggest you take a few minutes and read the brochure, you can see how to clean the tank and the float, how to take it apart and *own* this machine. Also, Bissell has a full range of replacement parts, which I appreciate to maintain the machine. I’d give it 6 stars if I could.

So I was very skeptical going in. It was very easy to put together, took me about 10 mins? Learning to use it, I decided to watch a youtube video and that was really easy. again, another 10 mins? On to the cleaning.. 3 young kids, a senior dog that could no longer hold his bladder and a new puppy that is potty training! My carpets were filthy!! it took me about 6 gallons of water and about 2 hours to give my carpets a good scrub. I was NOT expecting the stains to move but I’m happily surprised! Not only did most of the stains come out, my carpet looks so clean! I did have to stop half way thru and wash the machine cuz it was leaving streaks but it was fast and easy! I hope this machine lasts because it is my new favorite machine in the house! Now, if they made a machine that washed, dried and folded my laundry, I would have to marry it! (; (Pictures posting soon!)(NOT of me marrying a machine, of course. LOL)
