Bissell 1400-5 Canister Steam Cleaner

Pros: Inexpensive, effective carpet care solution
Cons: none

Carpets have been a both a blessing and a curse as far as I’m concerned. There’s a great deal to be said about rich oak flooring and in a perfect world I would surround myself with it. Utopia aside, carpeting is my wife’s passion, and we have...

Pros: Convenience, durability and inexpensive and easy to use.
Cons: Some people are unhappy with this because they cannot get it to work properly.

My wife and I owned the large Bissell upright steam cleaner, and we did not think that they would be able to shrink this product down to size. But, when we saw this in the store at Kmart we decided that if the price was not too expensive to give this a ...

Pros: Lightweight, holds 48 ounces of fluid, easy to use.
Cons: Made a mess of my carpet.

As I'm writing this, I'm packing up my Bissell Little Green 1400 to return to Best Buy. They accept anything back for any reason within the first 30 days, and I have a lot of reasons to return this carpet "cleaner". Background I had new carp ...

Pros: Compact, won't break the bank.
Cons: Can be difficult to assemble; dribbles, covers very small areas.

I received a reminder card from the carpet cleaning company I've used for a few years now. They do an excellent job, but paying hundreds of dollars for carpet and upholstery cleaning didn't seem cost effective to me anymore. I considered purchasing a ...

Pros: small enough to carry around, strong enough to take care of almost any stain
Cons: No heater, but then again, we've never needed one.

The Lean Mean Green Cleaning Machine Home improvements can be fun … or at least that's what my wife keeps telling me. We're near the completion of our laundry room remodel (including our new Whirlpool Duet Washer & Dryer, and I’ve been having ...

Pros: Compact
Cons: Horrible clean-up needed on the vac after every use; collects mold

With Baby #1 on the way we were delighted to have WON this vac, thinking it would be great to have for baby messes in the dining room, etc. Boy, what a surprise to find out that it takes more to maintain this vac than the time it takes to use it!
...

Pros: Great Design for cleaning any stain, affordable and sturdy.
Cons: Scrubber could be more generous in size; Cleaning Solution needs new scent.

Me, The Vacuum Freak I am the vacuum freak of our family. I have two small children and have had to potty train two puppies in the last year and a half. My husband is threatening to set up a curio cabinet for all my treasured vacuums. Does it work? ...

Pros: Compact, versatile, easy to use, highly effective
Cons: Dirty water tank smells pretty bad, hard to clean out

**UPDATED** So, about a year ago, we realized that our couch was just filthy disgusting. At the time we had an almost-two year old and I was hugely pregnant with our second baby. We thought about hiring someone to come in and clean it for us, ...

Pros: Attractive, compact, has a good size hose and power cord.
Cons: Messy, drippy, won't suck the liquid out, not worth it.

I was like many folks reviewing this device. I was strolling down the aisles of Wal-Mart and the Bissell Little Green seemed to be calling me. "Psssssst, come over here, buy me, right now!" There were two other similar and cheaper devices sharing the ...

Pros: Does a spectacular job cleaning
Cons: Hose could be a little longer.

I bought this unit with the sole purpose of cleaning my car carpets. Anything else would be a plus. I've never been so satisfied with a product. If you've ever rented one of those bigger units, regardless of name, you'll know that for the most part they ...

Pros: Light weight and easy to use
Cons: The spray path is a little wide.

I bought Bissell Little Green when my two year old son got the stomach flu. Needless to say, it was a big mess. I ran out to the store and bought this cleaner in hopes of getting the stains and smells out. It seemed easier to use then those other hand ...

Pros: Great styling and packaging. Easy to put together.
Cons: The nozzle isn't compact enough for car interior. Anemic suction."Turbo brush" lacks the power required.

After visiting a local car detail shop and finding out that my 2 year-old's spilled milk would cost me $120 to clean up, *I* cried. I decided that for that kind of money, I'd like to keep the steamer that cleans the carpet. Call me cheap. Anyway, I ...

Pros: Great hose end nozzle
Cons: Everything else

First, I don’t actually own one of these units…I just borrowed my sister’s for a weekend and here are my conclusions. Before I borrowed the Bissell Little Green, we cleaned spots on our carpets using just hot water, maybe with a little vinegar mixed ...

Pros: Easy to use, can store with water in it for quick use.
Cons: Not very powerful, doesn't hold a lot of water.

I bought the little green machine turbo for basic spot cleanup so I have been very pleased with it's performance. I live in a small one bedroom apt but wanted something for small cleanups. I have cats and it's great for quick cleanup after a hairball...

Pros: Super-long cord, compact storage, stores with water
Cons: Not ergonomic, can be messy, doesn't get things completely dry, wide spray arc

I was able to get this unit at a discount from my job, because the box was crushed and it was missing the nozzle head. Luckily, Bissell sells the heads online pretty cheaply.I don't have any carpet in my house, so I've primarily used it on ...
