TurboClean Pet XL Upright Carpet Cleaner, 3746

I wish i took before and after photos. but i wasn't planning to write a review. i never do. but i'm really happy with my purchase. This was easy to assemble. Easy to clean. I was just really impressed by that alone. The instruction card was also super easy for me to understand. Everything clicks into pace. I used two youtube videos and followed along. The machine feels durable and made well. Now the cleaning performance was also great. We had two high traction areas and now the carpet is all one color and significantly lighter and cleaner! I was scared I have to return this because once again i've never used a carpet cleaning machine myself and i didn't think the results could be better than the professionals. But now i can throw the box away. I'm happy with my purchase.

I love my Bissell. Just wish there was a better way to clean it out so you can get the smell out of it. I have to really work hard at trying to refresh it. But it works great on dog hair for sure. Wish the cord length was a little longer constantly having to re-plug in somewhere. Good attachments good suction. The only problem is is that the attachments due tend to fall off don’t have a long enough stem to set up on, but it works great.

This is the best money I’ve spent in a long time. My dog was getting old and forgetting outside is place for bath rooming. She never would have when she was young so I know her health is failing. Regardless this has saved the carpet. Easy enough to use daily or a couple times a week depending on needs. Very effective and made the whole room look nice. Takes the smell and everything out. Worked well on furniture when she had an accident while asleep. Would recommend to anyone with kids or pets.

This machine is OK. That's about all I can say. Well, It's a Work-horse... a heavy-duty cleaner. But it takes some getting used to. It is not like the Eurek I was used to. First, when you pull the trigger, it puts out... big time. You have to learn to be light on the trigger. Secondly, the brush is aggressive... and you can't shut it off like you could on my previous one. It lacks a little in the carpet drying capacity, leaving the carpet a little on the wet side. And if you clean often (as I do with pets) it stresses the carpet pile. Furthermore, loose carpet fibers and pet hairs accumulate in the brush cavity and have to be removed by hand WHEN THE UNIT IS SHUT DOWN. I park it on vinyl floor, and if I do not dry-run it for a while after finishing cleaning, it drains onto the vinyl floor, requiring regular mopping. It has some chubby little feet that protrude from the bottom to lift the brush off the carpet when in the upright position... which is GOOD, protecting the carpet when cleaning upholstery, etc. Yet sometimes those little feet are slow in retracting when carpet cleaning is resumed, leaving the water in the carpet for a pass to two. Do I recommend it? --Yes, if you want a workhorse of a carpet cleaner... and are willing to live with its quirks. My previous brand had quirks, too... but they were entirely different. I'm still looking for the "perfect" machine... but the ones at the local rent-shop are not it!

We bought this shampooer after the Hoover power dash pet one died. After taking it apart we realize there was a flaw in that design and allowed water to get into the motor. So we purchased this one and was quite surprised at how much more solution it held! Especially since it wasn't very much bigger than the Hoover. The carry handle is in the perfect spot in the middle making it easy to lift. The solution container is a really great size for this size of shampooer. And the waste container actually holds quite a bit as well. Our Hoover didn't even hold the amount of solution that was put out which seemed really odd. This one also will stand on its own so that you can fill it. It won't leak either. My old one had a tiny hole to allow air to come in to push the solution down so I had to plug my finger over the hole while I filled it up and then put solution in. That was a huge pain. This one I just said it in the sink I fill it up and put the solution in. Dumping the dirty solution is SO much easier than our old one! I can actually dump this in the toilet and don't make a mess! One of the major pluses of this one over the Hoover that we had is the ability to clean the waste tank. Cleaning the Hoover was a nightmare. I had to take it outside and use a hose and still could never get it fully clean. This one actually has a large cap on the bottom of it that you can unscrew to remove a section of it and I can fully clean it out very easily. This is such a huge plus because anytime there is even a little bit left in our old one it would start to stink very quickly. Now on to the cleaning. Get ready to see some black water! I was absolutely shocked at how well this pulled dirt and pet hair out of our rugs. We do not have carpet so we have area rugs and runners. This does a fantastic job of cleaning it. The attachment for the upholstery cleaner is way easier than our old one however I wish it had a rotating brush and a little bit of a wider head so that it could suck more solution up. I do wish that you could take the entire plastic front off to clean pet hair that has stuck to the front of it. There is one section that pops off but I find that hardly anything even gets in there. It's still easier than my old one though. My old one I had to take it outside and hose it out. With this one I wait for the pet hair to dry then I flip it over and unscrew the section for replacing the belt that way it loosens the brush. Then I can just use my finger to wipe out the now dry pet hair. You can do this wet but I find it yucky so I wait for it to dry because all the hair just sticks together and it doesn't feel gross. Then I just reattach that little section with the two screws. It is on the noisy side but I have yet to find a shampooer that is not noisy. But it's not so noisy that I need to wear at earplugs or anything. There is very little water leakage when you turn it off. Most shampooers allow some of the dirty water to come back out because it hasn't gone fully up the tube. This one has very minimal water dripage. Would definitely by again.

Nothing about this works the way it should, and I'm livid I spent almost $200 on this pile of garbage. Notes on why as follows: -Dirty water tank doesn't actually hold a seal; if you don't empty it literally the minute you're done it will redeposit all of it right where it's sitting. Have fun grabbing a drink of water and coming back to a nasty new puddle on your floor. (No, this wasn't a one-time "maybe I just did seat it right" problem. It simply doesn't hold the liquid. I've taken to setting it in a large tray while I work so if it drains while I'm spot cleaning, at least it's contained) -the spray function on the handheld spot cleaner attachment worked only twice. Want to dispense cleaning liquid? Detach, use the system in the classic vacuum way to dispense, reattach the hose, and carry on. -Cleaning fluid reservoir spontaneously drains entirety of its contents all at once. Delightful waste of whatever product you're using while also making a new area to have to suction dry. -Only the hose actually picks anything up. Tried doing the living room, noticed the dirty reservoir was suspiciously empty. Doing that much area with the spot cleaner attachment? Horrendous waste of time. But leaving that much damp carpet to just air dry and hole for the best? Also not good. -connection between hose and body frequently unseals. So as you spot clean an area, a small fountain of dirt water is just pooling out underneath the vacuum body. This, coupled with the inability of the dirty reservoir to actually contain the dirty water, makes for a beyond terrible experience if you're, say, cleaning up after a pet has had an accident on your carpet. You now have urine in TWO places, mixed with plenty of liquid carrier and being given extra time to soak further in to your carpet, the pad, and the concrete underneath. Have fun getting rid of the smell now that it's set that deep. This piece of garbage can and will double the problem or worse. You're better off just trying to soak out as much as you can with a towel and dousing the area with some kind of cleaning product like back in the day before we had these types of appliances. Considering Bissell is supposed to be a major name in this space, I'm thoroughly disappointed and honestly never going to trust another one of their products again. A harbor freight knockoff would likely be more reliable.

This picture speaks for itself. I love my Bissell TurboClean XL. I appreciate the gallon size water tank so you don’t have to keep refilling so many times and the large suction so tackle more of the area your cleaning. You can remove the handle for easy storage (mine stays in the garage so no issues for me). As you can see from the picture the cleaning performance is 100%. I’m SOLD!!!

Very powerful, and very quiet. Great engineering for ease of use and assembly. Also fluffs the carpet quite well.

Estoy feliz con esta lavadora alfombras, limpia súper bien así como los productos que trae. No deja empapado, y limpiar con el accesorio para muebles también súper fácil .
