Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL QuickSteamer Upright Deep Cleaner, 1770Customer Review: Lightweight, effective, and affordable, albeit misnamed Summary: 4 Stars
If you're here, you're probably looking for an effective carpet cleaner that a) does not cost $279 and b) doesn't require you to bend and scrape and clean large areas with a tiny hand-held brush, à la the Little Green Clean Machine. For light to medium use, I can easily recommend this unit.
A few months ago, two Greater Swiss Mountain Dog puppies were added to my household; the QuickSteamer has proved invaluable. Cleaning is as simple as a few passes with a vacuum; the unit is thankfully lightweight, particularly to anyone who's lugged a Rug Doctor. Refilling cleaning fluid is easy, accomplished through a removable tank on the back of the unit that can be taken out and replaced with one hand. (Though Bissell recommends its own line of soaps and fluids, I've had fine results with Mr. Clean.) The unit's assembly is simple, so any problems are easy to diagnose. Unlike other carpet cleaners, the QuickSteamer has not clogged on me.
Though the cleaner performed well most of the time, it was out of its league with a few heavier messes; any sticky job with a big potential to stain has to be lightly softened up with dishsoap and paper towels. The chamber for the dirty water is also a bit oddly-shaped (there're lots of nooks and crannies inside), which makes it more difficult to clean; like the cleaning fluid tank, though, it lifts out separately for easy handling. The brushes don't rotate - but, like other components, they can be removed for cleaning. Additionally, despite the name, the QuickSteamer has no heating element; the operator must add hot water to the cleaning fluid tank. (That said, in my experience, lukewarm water has worked just fine for cleaning.)
One additional tip - be sure to empty the dirty-water tank after each use. If you let the water collect and sit, the chamber can take on an odor that will increase when the machine is fired up. (It won't spread at all to the area you're cleaning, but it can make using the machine unpleasant.) The odor will dissipate when the chamber is emptied and rinsed with water and cleaning fluid.
The bottom line: the machine does a great job for most household clean-ups, and I do recommend it. Heavy-duty use is a bit beyond it; in that case, perhaps the next step up, a $100 upright with rotating brushes, would be a better choice. For the family with kids or pets that needs to clean up the occasional spill, though, this machine will fit the bill, and your budget, quite nicely.
