BISSELL Big Green Machine Professional Carpet Cleaner, with XL DirtLifter PowerBrush, 9' Long Reach Hose, 6-inch Tough Stain Tool, Includes PRO MAX with Stain Protect Technology Formula, 86T3

I have 4 Belgian Sheepdogs. Think Mals with longer black hair and thick undercoats which are projectile-shed twice a year. I have three cats. Between mud, occassional up-chuck and hair-balls, and whatever else, I tried to convince myself that a regular Bissell was enough to shampoo the carpet. Nope. So far, I'm really impressed with the big green machine. It's a little heavy to get upstairs, but it is easy to clean and does a great job on the carpet.

Hey look, I've had one of these green machines for several years now and I love it. My wife uses it regularly at least twice a year for the whole house and when I saw that one was on special with that pet brush for stairs, I bought that one and gave my other green machine to my son. These are good machines.

We own an apartment complex and after about 40 years, our expensive commercial shampoo machine died. I needed something that was commercial grade but didn't want to spend thousands. I gambled on the Bissell Big Green. I was very pleased with the way the carpet looked after shampooing it. I knew how much water was used and the amount I extracted was almost the same. My only complaint is the maneuverability is not as easy as I hoped. I am used to using a wand.

Did an excellent job! I feel more satisfied using this machine, than having a carpet cleaning service come over. Carpet is soft and fluffy, although I did use a special detergent.

It works well and easy to use for the most part. Somewhat heavy making it. difficult to push and pull for a 70 year old. Need to spot clean high traffic areas but no long dry time.

The greatest carpet cleaner ever. Sucks up more water than any other cleaner, preventing a musty smell and drying quickly. absolutely worth every penny

I was skeptical about using this on our carpets vs professional cleaners. Hands down, this machine is outstanding value for the money, at even twice the price. We did our upholstery, carpets and they are like new. I no longer sneeze from dust on the couches or on the carpet.The machine is a bit on the heavy, side - but not objectively so. Remember, weight is an asset for deep cleaning The machine is amazingly maneuverable regardless. It does not soak the carpets or upholstery. They really engineered this well. Folding handle, water tank(s) are easy to refill and clean, as is the roller system. Parts are very easy to order and replace - if necessary. I can't speak for the durability as we haven't had the machine for a long enough time. However, working with this machine, I can't imagine it not giving good service for a number of years.

so far I LOVE this machine. I used the bissell pretreat and almost didn't have to. it had been ages since this carpet had been cleaned and after the 1st section I dumped mud into the toilet. I decided to wait some and go over it again. still some seriously dirty water. the carpet looks ok, but I'm still playing with the idea to do it again. this machine is so easy to use why not. pst it's the entry way to the house.

I've never been impressed with the rental units you get at the big box stores. I've had much better luck with smaller home carpet cleaners... except in the durability department. Some of them work great, but then die in a year. I finally ponied up for the Big Green and am extremely impressed with how well it cleans carpet in ONE pass. I had a cat mess pressed into the fibers of a carpet in the garage. I used this as a test: just used hot water and soap in the Big Green. First pull - it's noticeably better. Second pull - it's gone. I couldn't believe it, this would've required lot's of hand-brush scrubbing. The rotating brush is also designed to not clog up with hair, it spits them out as a fur balls. Very impressed, and I have a lot of experience with these types of machines. It has to be the best one I've used yet.

I had rented PetSmart machine twice. I was thinking about hiring a carpet cleaning company. Then I thought to myself is it feasible to keep renting carpet cleaning machines with two canines. The choices were to buy a carpet cleaner or remove the carpet, so I decided to buy the carpet cleaner. After much research, I decided upon the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine. It comes fully assembled. It is user friendly. The power cord is nice and long. It only takes a minute to discard dirty water. I can clean one great room before needing to discard and refill. The carpet dries quickly. It really cleans the stains and dirt out of the carpet.
