Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL Quicksteamer Powerbrush Lightweight Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner, 2080
Customer Review: Affortable cleaner but must be VERY patient.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's my first cleaner. You have to be really patient, go slowly, and sometimes more than a number of times to get all the dirt out of the carpet. When the collection tank doesn't have black dirty water then you've gotten all the dirt out if you are that patient. There are two fill lines on the 1/2 gallon clean/solution tank - one for the cleaning fluid (16oz Bissell Fiber Cleansing Formula included) which uses very little cleaning fluid (maybe 3oz) and the other line for the hot water. There are two snap-on clips on each side of the collection tank you release then lift the tank up from a handle and empty the dirty water out through a hole on the back. There is also a black filter on the tank you can remove held by a plastic clip that's the same color as the tank. When you remove it, use that hole to clean out the tank after you dump the dirty water. You just need a Phillips "x" head screwdriver to assemble the cleaner and to also remove the brush roller and plastic cover to clean when you are completely done since hair may bunch up there.

Summary: 4 Stars
This shampooer was priced right and does what it says it will do. Assembly was very basic and only required tightening 3 screws. It has handy onboard cord storage hooks, a removable chemical tank, and a dirty water reservoir, both of which are very simple to remove and reinstall. It's pretty simple and intuitive to use too. Just add hot water and cleaning agent to the tank in the recommended ratio and follow the instructions. Clean-up was straight forward too. The final results are largely dependent on the carpet, how badly stained it is, the chemicals that you use, and technique...the machine itself sprays the chemical, agitates the fibers, and sucks the dirty fluid back up into it's reservoir just like it's supposed to. It's not too loud and not overly cumbersome. This first-timer found the whole process to be pretty easy and effective. It took 2 or 3 tries with the 8 years of build up in the high traffic areas, and it won't regenerate cut or worn fibers in those areas, but the rest of the carpet looked new after one try. Very pleased so far.Customer Review: Great for small jobs
Summary: 5 Stars
I previously owned an 8 yr old Dirt Devil Steam cleaner that stopped dispensing soap solution so I went looking on Amazon for something to replace it. After reading the reviews I decided to purchase this model. This did a pretty good job at some major stains I had at the townhouse I am renting. I do miss some features that were on the Dirt Devil I had such as the soap and water being in a seperate container. You could dispense soap/water then rinse with just water where as this one the solution and water are mixed in the container. The size also is great for lugging up and down the stairs and you can actually use this on stairs although it is somewhat awkward I was able to do it. I couldnt afford the more expensive models that had some of the features that my Dirt Devil had so this one served the quite well. Like the others have said this is for small areas that need to be cleaned and not whole rooms.
I give this 5 stars because it does what it claims to and nothing it doesn't. A great little cleaner and very happy with my purchase.
Customer Review: Buyer Beware! - Not for Those with Pets!
Summary: 1 Stars
Faulty design! This unit has worked fine with one exception - I have two cats and therefore hair in my carpet. The unit refuses to work when the hair clogs the water channel. The reason the hair clogs the water channel is because there is ONLY about a 1/16th or less opening for the hair to pass through, (which is where the water passes through) which means you are CONSTANTLY having to take the unit apart, unscrewing and disassembling this part of the unit, remove the hair, which is almost impossible to retrieve because the opening is so narrow you can only get a Q-tip in it. I checked out the Hoover's, but they use the same exact design, so you will have the same problem if you have pets. Most likely you'll find yourself sitting on your carpet with a screwdriver in hand and very frustrated at the poor design of either the Bissell or the Hoover. It amazes me that products are released to the public without careful and thoughtful preliminary testing, preferably, by women, who use most of these products.
Customer Review: Better than I expected!

I first looked at carpet cleaners at Linen&Things. This cleaner was sold out, but they had a smaller one in stock, and at first I considered buying that one. I came home to look at Amazon reviews, and no one really liked the smaller one anyway,but this Bissel got the most favorable reviews (thank you all!). Well, I decided to just order from Amazon (free shipping!), and I just last weekend used it for the 1st time. I was so impressed with how this little 13lb. carpet cleaner worked! My 9yr old son and I live in a small 2 bedroom co-op that was in rough shape when I bought it - the carpets are ok, but needed cleaning. It made a tremendous difference, and will be an easy part of my housework routine!
For everyone's info - when I owned a house way back when, I had a Bissel cleaner also - much bigger and more powerful - and I still had to work slowly to extract as much water as possible. I think that you just have to do it this way, and like everyone says, if you go fast, the carpet will remain wetter.
