My old Bissell carpet cleaner died after many, many years of excellent service, so I know how good this brand is. I love the separate tanks, and how easy it is to remove the nozzle and brush roller cover for cleaning. It is so much easier and more efficient to clean than my old model, and I don't have to unscrew anything in the process. It is a real blessing for someone with arthritis like me.
It is a little lighter than my old machine - another plus - and manoeuvres well.
There are so many improvements on my old cleaner, such as the edge sweep brushes, the lower profile ,the cleanshot - and the nozzle clean out tool is excellent for pet owners. There were so many bits of my old model that were so difficult to clean properly, but this one is a breeze.
It's cleaning efficiency is everything I expected from a Bissell machine. There is no way you are getting this back!
