   I’ve owned many steamers over the years and been let down by most of them. They either don’t last long or clean all that well without a lot of work.

   There are not “that” many brands of steamers at most retails stores, and I’d been through nearly all of them in the past, including Bissell.

   I needed a good steamer and decided to let online reviews help me judge whether or not I should consider looking at anothe Bissell.

   This model was well reviewed on nearly every site I went to, and, the newer model was basically the same as this one. Putting both of these factors in, to me, it seemed Bissell must have done something right since the last time I used one. So, I took the plunge and ordered it.

   Amazon shipped it quickly and everything was in good condition (no beat up box). Only one screw needed to be installed for the handle. And, they included samples of the two main cleaners. One was a peroxide based deep cleaner and the other was a concentrated carpet cleaner.

   Loading the tank was easy in the kitchen sink. Get the water hot, fill the tank to the water line, then use the desired cleaner. The tank snaps easily into place (something that was an issue with many steamers I used in the past, which makes it a hassle when steaming larger areas).

   The two rotating brushes are great at working loose the dirt/stains. And, with two of them (all my prior ones had just one brush), it took a lot less work to get the carpet clean. This had the added benefit of not needing as much cleaner for each spot.

   About the only down side is the return (dirty) water tank is ready to be emptied all before it’s as full as you might think it to be (since it is a sizable tank). However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing as there is less chance of a spill, and, any gunk in the tank is easier to get out since it is not sitting there too long. Pull the tank, flip the cap, pour it empty, put the cap back on, snap the tank back i and keep going.

   I only had two spots I was not able to get out through the entire house. I’m still trying to figure out what my son got on the floor of his room to cause those two spots. So overall, yes, the steamer did a great job, and, it took less time to do a two story home than an apartment I used to live in (thanks to those two brushes and good steamer suction).

   I used the hand attachment for the stairs and it even did a better job than the one on my previous Bissell (thank goodness). If I could make one improvement, it might be to have a longer hose for the hand attachment so I could get the stairs done without having to move the entire unit every couple of steps.

   And, the cleaner tool they provide to pull out the fuzz and hair that gets into the suction area (and brushes) is amazing! You do want to be sure to use this after steaming, and rinse out the tanks, as it helps keep any odor causing stuff out of the steamer (which can get nasty if left in there).

   I’d recommend this steamer over any of the others I have used in the past, including Bissell ones.

   I LOVE this product. I have two small dogs, and as much as I have tried they still have accidents. This machine effectively cleans the carpet back to its pristine condition in record timing. It does tend to spill when carrying it from room to room, and it can be a pain to fill. I have to carry the tank to my kitchen sink because it does not fit in the bathroom sinks. I only use it on the deep clean setting so I cannot speak to the lighter settings, but it is fabulous. I find it very easy to use, and it took me five minutes to put together. It is not confusing to operate, like some rental machines, and I really feel it cleans better. I do pre-treat some spots I feel will be difficult to get up, but it really does a good job without that too. The formulas can be expensive, especially when purchased from nearby retail stores, so I really recommend looking them up here on Amazon first. I saved like $15 off of the larger bottles of solution on here versus my local Target and Wal-Mart stores. I also do use a Spot Bot pro from time to time to clean up small spots and spills but I have gotten into the habit of using this machine monthly and seriously it makes a giant difference. It also removes the “dog smell” that you notice when you first walk into a home with dogs. Which is GREATLY appreciated, seeing as we rent. It really has made a huge difference in our lives and I cannot simply recommend this machine enough to anyone who has animals or kids, or wants to make sure their carpets are clean. I vacuum first with our bissell upright, then clean with this machine, and when dry vacuum again. It does require you to clean out the bristles and such from time to time, (dog hair clumps) and it can leave these clumps on your carpet while cleaning, but really it does an AMAZING job. I literally cannot believe how dirty my carpets are every month when I use it.
