Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bissell PowerLifter PowerBrush Upright Steam Carpet CleanerCustomer Review: More trouble than help. Summary: 1 Stars
This machine was nothing but trouble from the moment we got it.
1. The machine leaks. Not only did the seal from the main water tank leak, but the detergent container also leaked. After using this machine we had to empty it of all fluids, and then set it in the laundry sink overnight so it could leak to it's little heart's content.
2. Uneven distribution of detergent. This leads to stripes of alternating clean and still dirty carpet. The detergent goes into a gravity well that gets mixed with water, and is then dropped onto the carpet in whatever fashion it chooses, it is NOT sprayed. If a port gets plugged from hair, dirt, carpet fuzz, or anything for that matter, then cleaning solution will not drop out of that area. We found ourselves going over the same areas of carpet over and over and over again to get thorough coverage.
3. Flimsy belt drive. The drive belt that drives the rotary brush head, snapped the first time it was used. We replaced it and the second belt drive snapped the 3rd time we used it. I discovered that the metal axle actually gets HOT while using the machine, and the drive belt is rubber. So if you are wondering what that burning rubber smell is...go buy a replacement belt.
4. Plastic. The entire body and most moving parts are plastic. So the trigger that releases the detergent broke 1 month after we purchased the machine. I wanted to clean the only carpeted room in our home, I did NOT want a weekly repair project.
5. I just gleefully threw this piece of junk into the trash can.
Description of Bissell PowerLifter PowerBrush Upright Steam Carpet CleanerPowerlifterŽ Powerbrush Upright Deep Cleaner. The powerful and easy to use full size deep cleaner for carpet and area rugs Dirt is a normal part of a carpet's everyday wear and tear--but that dirt can get ground deep into a rug's fibers every time it's walked on, damaging them permanently. Portable, lightweight, and easy to use, the Bissell PowerLifter PowerBrush Upright Deep Cleaner protects and extends carpet life by removing deep-down grit and stains, using just hot tap water, deep-cleaning detergent, and its four-row rotating DirtLifter PowerBrush. Carpets are left clean, odor-free, even gently groomed for a polished look. The PowerLifter's user-friendly design includes thoughtful touches like a comfortable handle, quick-release cord hooks, a lint screen, and easy-to-maneuver wheels, as well as a built-in measuring cup and a removable nozzle for quick clean up. In addition, the unit's two-in-one water-tank system features a heavy-duty bladder inside for clean water, which empties and mixes with the cleaning formula during operation. The dirty water that gets pulled out of the carpets collects around the outside of the bladder, which means the clean and dirty water never mix. The unit's wide cleaning path covers more ground in less time, while the 20-foot power cord spares users from unplugging and re-plugging when cleaning larger rooms. The PowerLifter is not a steam-cleaning machine, so don't expect the same results that steam can deliver. It is, however, an inexpensive alternative to professional cleaning, without the hassle and expense of carting a rental machine back and forth. The unit comes with a 16-ounce bottle of Fiber Cleansing Formula and a dual-purpose Scotchgard-enhanced detergent that both deep-cleans carpet and protects it from future dirt and stains. The 12 amp full-size upright deep cleaner measures 19 by 11 by 44 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty. --Mary Park
