Advantages: Really deep cleans and deodorises carpet Disadvantages: Machine is heavy if you have to lift it
I have had my Bex Bissell carpet washer for six months and it is very difficult to describe how good it really is.
I have two big dogs ( dobermans), hence eight muddy feet, plus my husband ( I often think he must have eight muddy feet as well, the mess he makes and although I have stone floors in the utility areas to 'save' my carpets, they do get really soiled on occasion.

I have done this several times and the machines ... ...thought this was brilliant).
Bissell suggest you use their shampoo, but I have used theirs, Vax, astonish and two other supermarket ones and they have all been good. It is very important to chack the consistency of the shampoo though - if it is too thick it will put pressure on the motor which pushes this through the system, and it will clog up.Add 50% hot water to this type of shampoo and you will get no problems.
A very important point - ALWAYS ...

Advantages: Clean carpets and furnishing Disadvantages: Heavy and cannot be used on hardwood floors.
...stuck to only using the Bissell fibre cleansing formula, they do say to only use this in their instructions, I have stuck by it purely because I like the lovely smell and the overall performance.
This can also be used to clean Linoleum, vinyl and tile floors, as I have none of these in my home, I cannot tell you how good it is for these, but the instructions do say do not us on hardwood floors.
I am very happy with the performance of my Bissell ...

Advantages: So Easy to use Disadvantages: You realise just how dirty your carpets were!
...invest in one of the Bissell machines instead and I am glad I did!
After reading the instructions which are clearly explained and I recommend everyone doing this first, I set out on my first project, the hall way or as the booklet calls them ‘high traffic areas’. I went over the area in stages, slowly forward and back with the lever on the handle pulled in to let out the shampoo and then forwards and back again, lever, released to suck up the water. ... ...you are living with each day until you try this machine. My next project is going to be the stairs and landing next weekend and I will do each room in turn from there on. It’s actually enjoyable and what cleaning job can you say that about, not any as far as know. I have even now insisted that my husband and daughter help out buy taking there shoes off straight away when they come from outside to help keep the carpet looking great again – nearly ...

Advantages: Cleans efficiently without the expensive of getting someone in to do it Disadvantages: Heavy especially if you need to get it up and down stairs
...book recommends you use the bissell brand cleaners, we have also used cleaners designed for other deepcleaning machines with no problems yet and we've had the machine 3 years. When we purchased this machine it seemed expensive (£230) but it has more than paid for itself with the amount of times that I use it. Especially if you consider how much it costs to bring in the professionals. ...
