Description of BISSELL Spotlifter Powerbrush Handheld Deep Cleaner, 1716B
Bissell Spotlifter Powerbrush Handheld Deep Cleaner - the quickest way to clean spots and spillsTraditional vacuums handle dust and dirt, but some spots and stains call for more rigorous measures. The Bissell Spotlifter Powerbrush deep cleaner targets just such problems with powerful rotating brushes and a tank of cleaning solution. During operation, continuous suction ensures that surfaces don?t get too wet and that dirt and stains are sucked up quickly and efficiently. The machine includes a manual spray trigger, so you can decide how much solution to use depending on the surface and the damage.
The Spotlifter is a fairly maneuverable appliance--about the same to handle as the average large hand vacuum. Filling and emptying the separate clean and dirty water tanks is notably simple--they just slide off the back end of the machine one at a time. The brush roll cartridge is also removable for easy upkeep or replacement of the brushes. The cleaner comes with an 8-ounce starter bottle of Little Green Cleaning Solution. Bissell also includes a circuit interrupting safety device and a one-year warranty.
Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL Spotlifter Powerbrush Handheld Deep Cleaner, 1716B
Customer Review: Excellent spot cleaner.
Summary: 5 Stars
To begin, you might want to keep in mind that this is the only carpet cleaning product -- mechanical or chemical -- that has actually worked for me, without leaving the carpet spot bleached lighter or leaving a phantom stain or breaking within a few uses, or all of the above. So, this is a rave review, relative to the fact that I've never had a spot cleaner or carpet cleaner before that actually worked.
This thing rocks. It gets rid of old spots and spots on which a cleaning attempt has been made, cat barf, wine stains, cat pee, gravy, mud, dog poo, and that's pretty much what I've tried it on. The only two things it hasn't removed for me were a stain from the feet of a cheap, red table, water soaked and left to dye the carpet, and two black stains on the carpet from which I know not the source. In all other cases it worked, and it left the carpet completely clean, no marks left over, no bleach spot, no lightening of the entire cleaned area.
I haven't had the problem of leaking or a soaked carpet after cleaning. In fact, we've owned ours for two years now, and we use it regularly on cat barf. It's never leaked, and every time, the carpet is left only mildly damp after cleaning. Also, the suction seems to be fine, from what I can see. There is a little window on the front of the cleaner that allows you to see the dirty water being sucked up into the machine. I bought this Bissel spot lifter for my mom today, and I just did a spot on her carpet. It only took about 25 -35 minutes to dry.
Tips for use: Use the Green Machine formula that comes with the cleaner. Spray the carpet and wait two or three minutes before running the cleaner. Run the scrub brushes flat over the spot for several minutes before starting to suck up the soapy, dirty water. Take your time; I think patience is the most important factor in getting a spot up. Make sure you tip the cleaner forward to suck the water up. Otherwise, it's not actually suctioning anything. You have to tip it forward.
My only complaints: The little window area at the front of the cleaner is a pain in the arse to clean. They should make it removable, so you can clean out under it. Fortunately, as it is, you can fit a q-tip under there to drag crud out. My second complaint is that I noticed today that the trigger spray mechanism feels cheap, and -- on the one I bought today -- doesn't release cleanly. Like a squirt gun whose suction has gone sour due to cheap glue. Mind, though, it hasn't. I hope it won't.
All over, the complaints are minor, and the benefits are that it isn't expensive and it friggin' works. Hootie hoo. You won't be cleaning your whole carpet with this thing, but it cleans the spots fantastically.
Add-on: After reading more reviews, it looks like this product may actually have a common problem with the sprayer. I havne't had a considerable problem with this yet. But be wary.
