Review Of Bissell Carpet Shampooer

by Ryan

When you have a big family like mine you will find that the carpet is a magnet for every drink and plate of food that is served throughout the day. Though we observe a no shoes in the house policy, my carpet is always dirty and badly stained. After paying for a professional cleaning several times year and not getting great results I finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase a do it your self cleaner.

I priced the different models at my local Target and Wal-Mart and finally settled on the Bissell Carpet Shampooer. It felt like an expensive purchase to me but compared to other models, it was a good deal. Plus if you figure I would get my carpet professionally done twice a year and pay $125.00 each time, my Bissell will pay for itself in just one year.

Using the shampooer seemed like a daunting task at first but I was very pleasantly surprised that it was a lot easier than I had thought it would be. Add water, detergent and you are ready to begin. Ten rows of cleaning bristles and a water heating button offer a deep cleaning and great stain removal. If I used cool water only I don’t think I would have had such great results.

There is an assortment of hand tools that will help you with hard to reach areas such as the stairs and corners. With the attachments you can also do your couches, chairs and even mattresses. This excited me very much, as having a 2 year old we have had a lot of accident happen on our bed so that was the first thing I washed. I used warm water and went over the stains a couple of times, the results where almost invisible stains and a nice fresh scent.

I found very few draw backs to the Bissell Carpet Shampooer. One of the issues being the size, if you have to carry it upstairs it’s pretty heavy and a bit bulkier than a regular vacuum. The other problem would be the price of the detergent. If you want to use your shampooer regularly you will have to spend quite a bit on the detergent.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I am now able to do my carpets once a month and that helps maintain them cleaner. The whole house feels fresher and looks more inviting and comfortable.
