After having owned two bissell carpet cleaners only to have the plastic bladder on them break several times and then not hold as much since they share a tank. I was ready for something else. Took a gamble on this Hoover and did our upstairs rooms. I was so impressed I came back to write a review.
First off the dump tank for the dirty water not only completely comes out of the machine but the top of that tanks comes off completely making dumping the bad water easy and rinsing the tank out easy as well. My bissells had just a little opening for this so rinsing the tank in them was a b%t^ch.
Secondly the hand tool has its own two rotating brushes. Very very important and no one seems to mention that not even best buy's description. Find that on a bissell...you won't cause none of them have it.
Last but not least it just cleans better. We have two pet stains that the super pricey bissell could never pull out that the hoover had no issues with and cranked them out as if they never were there.
So as I was using the hoover and think of all the money we spent on bissells that did not do anything I got kinda mad. I don't think I will buy bissell anything ever again and I certainty not tell any friends they can borrow my new cleaner (you know how things come back broken when lent out).
What's great about it: easy to empty dirty water tank
