This basic, affordable carpet cleaner works great for small, pet-free homes and apartments. Despite being rather cheap, it has a brush system that helps remove stains more effectively. This system is usually found only on more expensive models.
Specs
Pros
Pro Good for deep cleaning
The machine has 4 rows of power brushes that form a wavy pattern to deep clean your carpets. The intersecting movement of the stiff bristles scrubs dirt more efficiently than just sucking it up or washing with water. Bissell uses this same system for its more premium models. Keep in mind though that the motor isn’t as strong as the expensive ones so it can’t handle old and stubborn stains.
Cons
Con Low versatility
While you can use this machine for general carpet cleaning, you can’t clean hard to reach spots or clean furniture with it. That is because you can’t add any attachments like a furniture brush or a crevice tool. There are also no side brushes so it will leave a gap a few inches from the wall.
