Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet Carpet Cleaner, 2987

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I chose a Bissell machine because I have had one in the past and wanted a Bissell again. Also, the price was reasonable. I bought this machine in June of 2025. However, I did not unbox or use the shampooer until July 5, 2025. I had to make sure that it worked before my return window closed from Amazon.First I vacuumed well. Then I followed the instructions and cleaned two areas. One on the wall to wall carpet where I had some water stains from plant drippings. The 2nd area I cleaned was on a 5x7 rug in the bathroom -- 2 different types of carpets. Both areas/carpets came out clean. There is always a learning curve to know how long or how often to press the spray trigger. It does seem to spray quite a bit of water/solution. Make sure you do many dry passes to pull up the excess wet solution. As the directions clearly state, "make dry passes by pushing machine forward and back and across carpet until water can no longer be seen through the nozzle." This is important to make sure your carpet does not stay too wet. In other words, GET YOUR FINGER OFF THE SPRAY TRIGGER!Ease of use:The instructions are well written and picture displays may help a first time user. Pictures made assembly clear, but it is really simple to "snap" the pieces together.The machine comes with 2 different 8 oz. bottles of cleaner to try. = nice touch, Bissell.The machine is very light weight once it is out of the package. I am glad I had it delivered instead of picking it up at a department store. Easier for this older woman. One small issue is the On/Off button. It is encapsulated in a plastic housing. A bit confusing. I searched the instructions to see if I was supposed to pry off the plastic housing. Apparently not. Please take note, this machine DOES NOT come with upholstery attachmentsThis small machine does the trick for my small dwelling. If you have a large home, maybe consider a larger machine. This one is great for my 3 rooms and small enough to store in the closet -- right next to the vacuum cleaner.I hope this machine lasts for years to come. I will report back if it does not.

So pleased with this! It does a great job of picking up pet hair that all the sweeping in the world won’t get, plus deep cleaning. It is also good enough at extracting water from the carpet that I can use it in the humid summer and still have rugs dry pretty quickly. So much more cost effective and easier than sending rugs out for cleaning. I will use this a lot more than I thought I would, it’s so easy and effective. I have the BISSELL little green for spot cleaning so I really questioned whether I needed this too, but I am so freaking glad I bought it. I bought the model that does surface cleaning too. Not sure I needed that since I have the little green, but figured it would be easier than getting two different machines out if needed. I wish I’d bought this earlier instead of the little green since it’s basically a twofer, but again, still so glad I got it. In theory I hate adding to an already large catalog of home tools/appliances, many of which I could borrow from a neighbor or the library. But in reality having it ready at hand is often the difference between using it or not using it. I expect that having this will make my life much easier (and cleaner) going forward, and consider it an excellent purchase, well worth the money. It may not be the most powerful out there, but it is so light and easy to use that I anticipate frequent use will make it as effective as a much fancier product.

I’m so impressed with this carpet cleaner! It’s lightweight, easy to maneuver, and does an amazing job lifting dirt and stains. I used it on high-traffic areas and some old pet spots, and the carpets look fresh and almost new again. The included Pro Max Clean & Protect + Oxy Urine Eliminator formulas worked wonders—especially for pet accidents. Setup and cleanup were simple, and I love that it’s not bulky like some other machines. For the price, it’s a fantastic value and a must-have for anyone with kids or pets.

It's a good machine and it really gets the dirt out. The only reason it's not a 5 is because I wish the tank were larger.Other than that, it extracts dirt like a pro. !I've had carpet cleaners that left my floor soaking. Wet, but this isn't terrible. It dries quickly. The brush works well. It spends well. I have not had any problem with leakage so far. So great! I've done one small room and one meeting room and I hope it stays the way it is now
