Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet Carpet Cleaner, 2987,Green/ Black

I like how simple it is to fill and empty. It does a surprisingly good job cleaning and pulling water out of the carpet which is the main reason I bought this. I didnt expect much given the low price but this carpet cleaner delivers! I still have it 5 stars despite a couple of things I dont like about it. Both tanks are on the small side so dumping and filling are pretty frequent, and the on/off button is near the bottom of the handle and not especially easy to operate or get to.

I love this carpet cleaner. I can’t believe all of the dirt it removed. This unit is lightweight and easy to assemble and quick to clean. To me, it’s just as good as the professional machine we used to rent, but it’s much easier to use and clean. Can’t wait to use the attachment on my furniture.

Love this machine! I didn’t realize how dirty my rug was until I cleaned it with this machine! I have 2 big dogs and vacuum daily and this is how clean it got it! Very easy to use the machine and very easy to clean the parts afterwards. Does a great job pulling the water back out too! It is a smaller machine and lite so it does not hold a huge amount of solution or dirty water.

I love how this cleans the carpet. The key is to clean in small sections and go over a few times so get all the water up. The main thing I don’t like is even with vacuuming this cleaner will pick up a lot of extra hair which is great except it doesn’t have a place to dispense it so it just gets stuck in the brushes so I’m constantly stopping and pulling fur out. As far as how it cleans I love it. I wish it had upholstery attachments

Amazing little machine. I have a rug doctor that I love. I use a couple times a year. I really needed something for the in between times for the main rooms. I was really amazed how well the Bissell 2987 cleaned and also extracted the water back up. Only took a couple of hours to dry. Would definitely would recommend and would buy again. For the price and performance a great machine. Another great feature is that it cleans up so easy.

I have been using Stanley Steamer to clean my bedroom carpets for 3 years. There was a one time dog urine in my master bedroom. The odor never came out. The price if Stanley Steamer just went up so i decided to purchase my own carpet cleaner. Im so glad i did not only did it leave my carpet looking like new but also removed the odor!!! I used the enzyme solution that came with the cleaner. I cleaned the entire bedroom and did not fill the dirty water tank. For my size rooms , 3 carpeted bedrooms, this is an awesome product! This is my second bissell product and bar none these are the best products i have owned. Customer Service is also outstanding when i had a question about my vacuum cleaner.

Between cats, dogs, and kids, my carpets are constantly disgusting. I had been renting or borrowing a carpet cleaner every couple of months prior to this, but we finally bit the bullet and bought our own. The photos attached are in my son’s bedroom - I believe it’s soda stains. Well, not anymore at least. Pros: it’s got huge tanks. For one bedroom I had to dump twice and refill once, and had tons left over in the tank after that 2nd refill. It’s heavy duty - you can definitely tell that it’s getting the carpets clean, because there’s intense suction. You feel it when you pull it backward. Plus, I mean, the nozzle attachment. Haven’t used it yet but it’s next on my list. Cons: it’s heavy. Heavier than the rental vacuum in a way. That may be because of the suction this sucker has, but it’s a bit harder to maneuver than some I’ve used in the past. It’s also loud - I know they’re not meant to be quiet, but it lets out a high pitch at a frequency that tickles my brain in a not-fun way. Highly recommend headphones when using it. If you’re looking for a carpet cleaner, this one is excellent for the value.

The short story is that I am very pleased with this carpet cleaner. It is lightweight, powerful, cleans well, and is inexpensive. It has some limitations, which I will cover later. Will it hold up over time? I will update my review if it fails. new, if you like to read long, rambling reviews, strap in. Prior to this I had a Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe carpet cleaner for cleaning large areas. It worked well but the bearings that ran the cleaning brushes rusted solid after a year or two of use. That machine had a kind of turbine, mounted between two metal ball bearings, which ran the brushes by utilizing the suction of the main vacuum unit. These bearings were completely unprotected from water and failed, as anyone with a functioning brain would expect. This was either a sloppy design choice or an example of planned obsolescence. Regardless, I won’t be getting another Hoover product again. This machine uses a belt powered beater brush like a normal vacuum cleaner. I purchased it specifically because of this and hope that it will stand the test of time. We will see. Now on to carpet. Carpets in general are nasty but they are the cheapest ‘nice’ floor covering out there so many places have them. Until I have the time and energy to upgrade I am stuck with them. They WILL get disgusting if you let them, and by ‘let them’ I mean not shampoo them religiously every few months. I made do with an existing spot carpet cleaner I had, a Bissell Spot Clean Professional (which I highly recommend), after the Hoover failed me, and it did well enough until I got a new puppy. While it was great for little accidents, getting down on your hands and knees to do a large area regularly was very unpleasant. Its also great for vehicles and stairs, which this machine is not, so they pair well. The Spot Clean Pro has lasted me several years of intermittent use so here’s hoping the TurboClean will as well. I used this machine according to the instructions and I have several notes. The instructions say to make one slow pass forward and one slow pass backward while spraying solution and to repeat the process while not spraying solution. End of cleaning, let dry. For my medium pile carpet this left it very wet and with quite a lot of shampoo in it (as evidenced by little bubbles in the pile). I made one slow pass forward and one slow pass backward while spraying cleaning solution and then two to three slow forward and back passes without spraying until the unit stopped picking up much water. This dried out the carpets much better and left them cleaner. Once I had finished the area I then made another full round of passes but only filled the machine with hot water. No cleaning solution. This helped get even more dirt out and left the carpets free of shampoo. If your carpets are very nasty you will have to repeat this process several times until the water comes out clean. This level of effort is required when using any carpet cleaner though, even powerful ones like Rug Doctors. While my puppy has left the carpets quite filthy multiple times (accidents, garbage can raids, the murder of a few house plants, etc.) the has machine cleaned them perfectly and without having to pre-treat the stains. Carpets get truly awful if you don’t religiously clean them so be prepared to work at it, but this machine will get the job done. So, how were the results? Great. After extracting several tanks of what appeared to be chocolate milk from my carpets they look fantastic and, maybe more importantly, smell clean. This was very difficult to accomplish with a new puppy using only carpet cleaning sprays or the spot cleaner. It is also easy to clean and empty. Does it have limitations? Yes. This is the largest Bissell consumer level unit you can get without a stair or spot cleaning attachment, which I didn’t need because of the Spot Clean Pro. That said, its tanks are small, and its cleaning head is not very wide. You will be filling and emptying these tanks a lot and it takes a long time to clean a large area. As expected, without the stair cleaning attachment you wont be able to use this on stairs. I also found the handle uncomfortable. The unit gets rather heavy when full of water and the hard plastic handle tends to mush your little finger after a while. None of these are deal breakers and it is a great value. Some additional tips: The small bottle of cleaning solution (8 oz) that comes with the unit is enough to fill the cleaning solution tank 4 times when following the instructions to the letter. That is enough to thoroughly clean about 50 square feet of carpet; basically, an area that is 5x10 feet. You may have similar results using less solution, depending on how nasty your carpets are. My unit came with a coupon for 50% off and free shipping on a ‘Pet Stain Removal Pack’ No. B0092 from the Bissell website. It includes a full-size bottle of cleaning solution (48 oz), a spot treating spray bottle (22 oz), and a bottle of ‘booster’ for the cleaning solution (16 oz). That kit is normally $37 dollars before taxes and shipping from their website without the coupon as of this writing. The same items separately cost $33 from Amazon, so it’s a good deal. I have no idea how long they will keep doing that though. Keep a paper towel or little baggy handy if you have someone in the house that makes a lot of hair. Pets, kids, significant other, Bigfoot, whatever. Even if you vacuum thoroughly beforehand this machine will clean deep and kick up lots of filthy wet hairballs. You’ll want to pick them up as you go or they will clog the machine. Do not let the tank get too full. Empty it every time you fill the cleaning solution tank even though it appears to be hold much more water, as the machine seems to have reduced suction the fuller the dirty water tank gets. If the machine makes a kind of popping sound and loses suction that means the dirty water tank is full. You must stop and empty it (it is a safety feature, as the dirty water tank would overflow otherwise). Rinse the machine out according to the manual after you finish cleaning, or it will begin to smell. Do NOT tilt or shake a full dirty water tank after removing it. If you do the water will puke out the suction tube and get everywhere. Learn from my mistake.

I’ve been researching for the best carpet cleaner, reading reviews and comparing. Finally decided on this one and I do not regret it. I love this carpet cleaner. Con: small water tank. But way more pros than cons especially for the price. It has great suction and it cleans so good. I just received it today and did the entire apartment. I love it!

This isn’t a carpet shampooer, it’s a MIRACLE worker. Most of my house is tile and laminate but there is carpet in my bedroom, office and then there is this 7x10 rug in the living room. I purchased the rug secondhand on market place and it needed a deep clean. My other carpet cleaner stopped working and I was desperately in need for a fix for this rug (as you can see in the photos). I have three dogs that shed like it’s their only job on this earth. I literally vacuumed over this rug non stop for 25-30 minutes straight making sure that I got it as clean as possible before shampooing. AND YET the shampooer pulled up hair that the vacuum couldn’t quite get!!! Pros: - I love that it is light weight and doesn’t hurt my back at all to use. - It is super easy to put together/ very user friendly. - It obviously does the job it was intended to do. - A little spray goes a long way for each spot. - The suction was strong enough that my carpet was barely damp at all after going over it a few times. Cons: - The formula tank is small and I had to refill it a second time just doing the 7x10 foot rug. - I wish the cord was just a smidge longer. - It didn’t completely remove stain. (However it was ketchup and it did better than I expected. So honestly I can’t really be upset at this). Overall, this is a GREAT investment and for the price I don’t believe you can find a better product. Do yourself a favor and buy this one. I went back and forward on a different option before buying this and I am SOOO glad I did.
