   Pros.
   It does its job with a little tinkering and jerking around.
   Cons.
   Unit doesn’t look like it will last more then a month. I think Bissel spent 32 seconds on R&D with this thing.
   It actually looks like my wife put it together. Its cocked to the side, the fluid dispensing lever doesn’t work , I have to pull the cable to get the cleaner to dispense fluid instead of the actual level that’s “designed” to do it.
   Honestly , if it was priced at $19.99? I would buy it and not complain. This heavy price tag for the junk I received is deplorable.

   BiSSEll BigGreen BGFS5000 Portable Two Brush Floor Scrubber & Polisher

   Given so many low customer ratings for this machine, we were apprehensive about buying one. As it turned out, our machine has none of the problems cited by so many others. Perhaps Bissell’s Chinese manufacturer redesigned a few parts to work better?

   – machine is a virtual clone of the Sears floor cleaner that we owned and loved for 25 years (which eventually failed – and no parts are available for it).

   – the brand new BFGS500 arrived fully assembled with all parts (all of the listed pads and the pad clips). There’s nothing to do except remove the plastic wrap and cardboard – and use it.

   – these new models no longer require a customer to install a “switch box” that so many complained about. An on/off switch is built-in. It’s only one speed, but we only used “high” on that old Sears scrubber.

   – the 8-notch brushes snap (with a firm push) securely onto the hub at the machine’s bottom. For spare stiff brushes, search Amazon on “Koblenz 6 Inch Scrub Brushes with 8 Notch Hub 4502332″

   – the liquid container on our machine is fine. It doesn’t leak and it snaps into the machine’s chrome post, lining up perfectly with the slot on the open-close controller.

   – the 35′ cord should be sufficiently long for most jobs – it’s almost too long for us.

   – we bought it to clean our Azek deck – much easier than cleaning by hand.

   – negatives

   … some of the plastic parts should be thicker / stronger – such as the green liquid container cover (reads “Heavy duty – commercial”) – that part is fragile.

   … machine will tip over backwards, so it has to be held onto or rested on something.

   … OK for occasional homeowner use, but no way is this a “commercial” quality machine. It wouldn’t last.

   … avoid buying a “used” machine. New is better, will have fewer issues, and will last longer.

   I have all white tile on my floors. Very hard to keep the grout nice and clean . Cleans GREAT and is fast and easy to use. This has a good weight for use, and the brushes do a great job. Only complaint is that the trigger attachment to regulate the flow of cleaning water has to be Checked regularly it is poorly made and will allow a leak or wont dispense properly. Not that big of a deal once I identified the reason for the problem I was having.

   I have vinyl floors that look like wood. I have used other cleaners throughout the 9 years we have been here. From steamers, a Bissell floor cleaner, to wet moping and dry mopping afterward. Nothing was getting them clean. I have a daughter in wheel chair & dogs. It gets dirty. I was like I’m going to have to replace these floors in next couple of year. Well this was my last cleaner I was going to buy. I wanted one that had scrubbers but not evasive enough to ruin my floors. This thing works!! If you need a cleaner for hard floors get this!! I’m seeing magic before my eyes. Getting them back to the original color!! You can see in picture the cut off.

   Well lets cover various ponts!
   1-Delivery
   Way before the Covid-19 issue Amazon Prime is purposely delaying all Prime packages at least 10 days before initiating the order fulfillment process to all orders from Puerto Rico! I did order this scrubber on August 3, 2020 and it was delivered on August 23,2020. Almost 21 days when in the states would have been delivered on August 8,2020. Hey every night around 12:30 AM Prime Air lands a 737 full of cargo in SJU international Airport in Puerto Rico. Simply put, Amazon is delaying Prime service to Puerto Rico.

   2-The Scrubber came with 2 sets of different brushes, 3 sets of different pads. 35 ft. of cable and works great. It arrived fully assembled.

   3-Proven design. To my surprise it is exactly like my 30 year old scrubber bought from Sears, see picture. With Sears I tried to get a replacement dispenser canister that was not “available” to my surprise it is still manufactured. Both machines are made by the same manufacturer, Koblenz. The differences? The new one is a Commercial Model double insulated OSHA compliant, single speed. The old Scrubber has three speeds , that and the cable are the only differences.

   4- Use- This scrubber is used to clean, scrub and polish 50+ year old Terrazo in 2600 sq. ft. home.

   Based on previous experience with the old model, I believe that I can recommend the vastly improved new model.

   I liked the heavy duty cleaner it was very easy to use on my tile. The weight and the brushes got all the dirt and grime out of the grout between the tiles with ease. There wasn’t nothing I didn’t like about it. Great machine!!!!
