Bissell Pet Stain Eraser Cordless Portable Carpet Cleaner, and car/auto detailer, 2019 Version, 20037

Ok so I have to say the first unit that was delivered was defective. The dirty water leaked everywhere. I was able to troubleshoot with BISSELL and they suggested I tried it again. I did and it still leaked. I was texting their support and sent pictures. They sent a replacement immediately. It was here in two days.I received it yesterday and tried it today after charging and it worked perfectly. Just as it’s supposed to. No leaking anywhere. The suction is great and made easy work of a pet accident. Make sure everything is threaded and clicked into place and you’ll have a great little unit to help when you don’t want to drag out the huge shampooer. The included solution is great on stains too. I did an area of the hallway and didn’t lose a single bar on the battery.It seems like those that are having leaking issues have a defective unit. If you get a defective product reach out to BISSELL directly, they stand behind their products and there’s a reason so many people purchase them. I’m loyal to the brand and that’s one of the many reasons. They’re very responsive via text and handled my issue right away.

For small areas only. I works wonderfully, but I pre-treat the carpet with another stain remover--the liquid for this machine is expensive, and I would get the concentrate and add water. I let it sit for about 15 minutes, and vacuum up the dirty water. Also great for juice, coffee, cola spills, as that is mainly what I use it for. You don't want to let pet urine sit for very long, as the deeper it gets the longer the odor lasts. This little vacuum does the job right away and holds a charge for hours or even days if it sits idle. I spent over two hours poring over the huge selection, so I had to go with what everybody else said works great.

First, I will readily admit that it does not work as well as say, a 'Bissell 3624 SpotClean Professional Portable Carpet Cleaner - Corded' but it is a lot lighter and much much easier to set up, pack and clean after using. I seldom need a lot of capacity in either the spray or dirty water container so that is about perfect. It only weighs about twice as much as a typical Dustbuster and there is no cord to unwind and rewind. The battery capacity seems good so far. A significant spot cleaning will only use about one of the three available power bars when fully charged.Yes, the suction is less than a corded portable cleaner but it is adequate. First, you need to realize that vacuums do not pick up stuff, especially liquids, by suction; you get it by air flow so if you bear down or bury the nozzle in puddle you get little air flow and therefor little suction and second (think more like a tornado than a vacuum), if you are picking a significant amount of liquid or a heavy liquid then every 10-15 seconds rotate the unit so the tip it's upright and let any liquid that is accumulating to drain into the tank.About the leaks, if you don't put the clear top of the nozzle/tip on properly it will leak badly on use. Make sure the tab on the base of the unit is firmly in the clear plastic tip before snapping it in. I have seen no other significant leaks of dirty water.I never use a cleaning agent unless it is in a separate spray bottle. Water will clean most normal spills (I normally only use my unit for cleaning up after pet accidents and plain water works 98% of the time) and when you do use a cleaning agent use it very sparingly so you can rinse it all out with water. Professional rug cleaners will tell you that people using too much cleaning agent and not rinsing it all out will make it difficult to professionally clean it later.Overall I like the unit because it is cordless about half as heavy as the lightest corded wet/dry vacuum and much easier to set up, pack up and clean afterwards. It is not perfect but the best I have found so far.Update: I would like to add few ergonomic comments. It is hard for me to pull the clean water tank out of the body. I wish the grip ridges were bigger and deeper and provided more leverage to pull the reservoir out. Ditto the dirty water reservoir. The ridges in the tank are neither sharp or deep - fortunately once you release it it does not take much to pull it out. I agree with other reviews about the little doors that cover the charging port. They are an unneeded feature that makes it more difficult to plug in the charging core and a possible point of failure that could render the whole cleaner unusable. Lastly, the on/off button is hard to locate sometimes. The active portion is not clearly marked and you have to be right in the center to operate it. Minor digs but something Bissell might want to consider for future models.

I am SHOCKED at how well this works without having to put in much effort. I thought for sure it would be a pain or I would have to go over spots again and again. Nope. It instantly took up red clay/dirt stains on my beige carpet and a water ring type stain on a chair caused by another cleaner I tried. I looked at the stains on my carpet for months! I just was too lazy to scrub at them. If I had known all along I could just order this... ugh! I should’ve taken pictures but I just didn’t ever think it would work so well. Now you do go through the cleaning solution really quickly so make sure to have a big bottle on hand and it does leak a little like others have said (come on, Bissell! Fix that!) but I just held a paper towel under it when I was walking from place to place. That problem hardly undermines how great this thing is. I will happily deal with the leak if it takes stains up this easy.

I've had this for a few years and used it multiple times. Since day one the collection container drips and leaks which makes it feel counter-intuitive as you are dripping the dirty liquid that it picked up back on the rug. It does have decent suction and is small in size and easy to store. I do wish I a bought a larger model that has a hose and a separate collection container instead of a built-in one.Pros:LightweightHandheldRechargeableEasy to storeCons:LeaksMedium suctionDoesn't hold a charge very longHard to clean some parts
