Rated 5 out of 5 by Crimson59 Love my Big Green Deep Cleaner
I thought I was going to have to replace my carpet after cleaning it twice with another brand rental. I am amazed how my light carpet looks after cleaning it with my new Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine. It looks almost like new!!! I can't wait to use it on the rest of the house! Thank you, Bissell! It is so nice to always have this machine at my disposal....no more hauling a rental back and forth and having to hurry to get the job done!

We have only used our Green Machine one time, but we are absolutely amazed at how clean our carpets cleaned up. We have experienced before that carpets were very wet after cleaning them with other machines, and the carpets were so close to dry we could not believe it. We feel it will pay for itself in just a couple uses with the price we pay for carpet cleaning company fees.
It is absolutely a smart purchase....

Rated 4 out of 5 by Big Green I Am Pleased With The Results
I just purchased this machine a couple of weeks ago and I have used it only once. I cleaned the carpet in three bedrooms, a hall and a stairway. I am pleased with the overall operation and the cleaning results. In a two story home, the weight of this machine is something to consider but I removed the tanks and it was managable. This replaced a Hoover machine that began leaking and some of the plastic parts broke all around the same time. The upper tank of the Big Green seems to be made of a similar quality plastic but the bottom tank seems to be a more durable type of plastic. I paid a good bit more for the Big Green and I have high expectations for its durability.

Purchased because of the 5-star review but had never used one prior....always had it professionally cleaned but we are tired of paying that high price. This machine performed better than my expectations according to reviews. Extremely satisfied! My carpets(berber) feel so soft & are as clean as a professional job if not better. The price of the machine is the cost to have my house professionally cleaned one time. Would highly recommend it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AJ it SUCKS...in a great way
Although a bit heavy and takes some effort to maneuver, it seems to do a great job cleaning and an especially great job at drying. highly recommended!
Primarily for cleaning up after cats and heavy traffic areas. Does a great job but it chokes a little on the buildup of cat hair as you clean. I can't imagine that any cleaner could handle that better but it is noteworthy.
Overall, it was a great purchase and I expect many years of reliable usage.

After reading the reviews on your website, I felt that almost all the purchasers felt it was a reliable, easy to use, and efficient carpet shampooer. I would agree. I tried it on a rental condo carpet and was very pleased with the appearance and the feel of the carpet. It was astounding how much dirt was in the dirty water tank. I'm looking forward to cleaning all the carpets in my home

Amazing cleaner! Effortlessly cleaned the whole home and our rental unit. It picked up spots that we didn't think were coming up. It works even better when pre-treated, but it might not have been neccessary.
So glad we spent the extra money, this is far superior to a normal steam cleaner.

Rated 4 out of 5 by D.Engel Cleans Great But..
The big green machine cleans great, but is difficult for my wife to push back and forth. Things which could improve the machine is [1] a better cord winding system, not over the handle, much more like upright vaccums have and [2] a good light on the machine's front to let you see cleaning results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by multipets Lives up to the reviews
I had no intention of investing this kind of money in a carpet cleaner until I read the reviews for the Big Green. I thought I would just buy another Proheat 2x. I have multiple animals so I clean my carpets several times a year. The reveiws were spot on as to how good this machine is. The real test was when I cleaned the 10year old, light beige, builder grade carpet in the "cats room". Every stain was removed and it looks like new! I was thinking of replacing it, but no need to now. I was also amazed as to how dirty the dirty tank water was, the Proheat never got this kind of dirt out of the carpets. You have nothing to lose in trying it, Bissell gives you 30 days to try it and if you don't like it, you can return it for only a few dollars in shipping costs. That was my thought when I placed the order and I have NO intention of returning it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ebzlady Powerful and Convenient
I loved my ProHeat 2X for several years, yet I decided it was time for something more powerful for my parents carpets. They hadn't been cleaned in nearly 10 years. The Big Green was exactly what I needed. Because the carpets needed industrial-strength care, I wanted to tackle the house a few rooms at a time, and having the convenience of my own machine, I was able to work at my own pace. This allowed me to systematically tackle a BIG job, with little wear and tear on ME. Well worth buying, rather than renting a machine, and with the condition of the carpets, hiring a professional would certainly have exceeded the cost of purchasing my own machine -- so glad I "bit the bullet". By the way, the carpets look great!!!

I've used Rug Doctor and this blows it away. The carpet is left a lot dryer and cleaner. My carpet feels as soft and clean as the first day it was installed. Cleanup is so easy. I even clean the roller, three screws and it pops right out and allowing you to clean underneath making it as clean as it was when it was shipped to me. If it ever broke, I would buy another, it's just that good.

When delivered, the wastewater lid wa s broken. I believe it was caused by insuffient packaging. A replacement came quickly. This machine replaced a lower cost Hoover product. You get what you pay for. The Bissell did an excellent job. It w.as worth the money

Rated 5 out of 5 by JlP The Best Bissell Ever! Worth every Penny!
I had the Pro-Heat machine, that I thought was good. I needed to buy a new machine and this one was recommended by house painter! The machine is easy to use and clean. I have never had such clean rugs! I was amazed at how much dirt came out of my rugs even though I cleaned them repeatedly with the Pro-Heat machine. My rugs have never been this clean. It is amazing how it changes the color of a carpet! (dirt) I also used the attachment for furniture and the results were amazing! It did a better job than the professional furniture cleaner I hired. Don't bother buying a cheaper model. Invest your money into this machine and you will not be disappointed. I cannot say enough about how well this machine cleans.

We have white carpet and 3 dogs so we need a carpet cleaner. I've used a number of different machines and this one is heads-and-sholders above the competition. The product is well engineered and well built. Some of the notable features [not all] include:
** Large capacity solution and extraction tanks.
** BOTH tanks are removable for easy refill and dump.
** Two motors, 1 for vacuum and 1 for brush.
** Great spraying control and agitation.
** Incredible extraction [can't say enough here].
** Seals that really work -- NO leaks, dripping, etc.
** Great warranty [5 year] but I don't expect to need it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by StillShocked Better than any rental machine!!
My wife and I have a large breed dog and have been battling the white carpets in our walkout basement ever since we moved in. We've found ourselves renting machines or borrowing ones from friends and they do an okay job. THEN, we stumbled across a deal of a lifetime on one of these from a local store and decided to try it. In one word...AMAZING! It did our entire basement on less than one tank full of water and pulled unspeakable things from our carpet making it look like new again. I'm still speechless at how well this works. We haven't used the handheld attachment yet but hope that it works just the same. Good job, Bissell!!

I bought this machine after my old Bissell with the bladder would not extract all the fluid that was sprayed on the carpet. Plus I got tired of constantly having to empty and refill the VERY small tank and bladder.
The Big Green got out stains that the other machine could not. I was able to clean my whole living room without having to empty and refill the tanks, my old machine wouldn't even do half of the room.
PRO: Very large individual tanks.
Being able to see how full the tanks were.
Longer attachment hose.
CONS: Does not have a heater to heat the water.
There is not a clear rinse switch - the cleaning solution goes in with the clean water. I did a second pass after cleaning the whole room with just hot water to remove any residual cleaning solution.
Machine was of course heavier and took a little more muscle to manuever it but I was able to do it and I have had back surgery.
I also purchased the rotating brush attachment for the hose which worked great on the steps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Calimagne The best carpet cleaning machine I've ever used.
I had several carpet cleaning contractors in our house. They all left some stains. A different rental rug cleaner wasn't perfect either. Then we bought the Big Green Cleaning Machine. I didn't know it was legal to make such a rugged machine in America. It is made of sturdy plastic (ABS?), built to last. The power switch is not a flimsy foil clicker that falls apart soon. It is as sturdy as the rest of the machine. The cable won’t get hot due to undersized wires. Is it the superb chemical from Bissell I use? Is it the boiling hot water I poure in the tank? Over some spots I have to run the machine several times but the Bissell leaves NOTHING behind except for some compacted animal hair balls I pick up using the vacuum feature of the Cleaning Machine. I don’t think of it as a big disadvantage. Other machines leave this dirt IN the carpet instead of ON the carpet. And yes, I clean the machine after EVERY use with joy like the owner of a new Porsche 911. I rotate the brush roll manually and let it catch a paper towel that wipes behind the brush too. The amazing vacuum performance is due to a powerful motor and a suction nozzle that is slightly held down to the carpet with springs and has a narrow opening that will increase the air velocity. Another big advantage: you can rent it before you buy it. Can Bissell improve this machine? How about a cup holder or an integrated MP3 player? (Just kidding).

I've had plenty of those small, buy at the local box store, steam cleaners over the years. They last about 6 months or less and then something breaks. I was researching the smaller machines online and people would give 100 "great" reviews for a machine, and then others would give 40 "piece of junk and it broke in a few months" reviews on the exact same cleaner.
I had to do something quickly because I have a 14 year old pit bull that is becoming senile and urinating in the hall way. After much research I came across the Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine. I read all the reviews of how great the machine is, but I was concerned about making a huge investment. Then I figured, "you know what? Those cheap machines are costing me more in the long run because I have to replace them every few months/years, so just get this one." I am sooo glad I did! Wow, this machine works GREAT! It cleans deep, sucks up all the water, is reliable, and has no issues. This is a real work horse that works like a professional model, and it is very easy to use too! I am very happy with this machine and would recommend it to everyone. By the way, the Bissel carpet cleaner works wonderfully - much better then the other enzyme brand stuff for urine smell.

We have always rented the Red Machine, but when we reached our 70’s decided it was just getting too hard to handle. We did then hire two different carpet-cleaning companies, but never felt our carpets were truly clean. We have only had the Green Machine for a few weeks, but could not be more pleased with the purchase. All the reviews we read are right on! It cleans much better than the other machine. It’s great to be able to do one room at a time, the carpet dries so much faster than with other methods, it stores easily with the fold down handle, and pushing it is no problem. The machine is very well designed - easy to understand and use. It is heavy, but getting it up and down the stairs was much easier than with other machines. The Big Green Machine is worth the price! Thank you Bissell!

I purchased the Big Green Cleaning Machine this month and have cleaned the room where my rescue dog has continually urinated. I have to say this is the best machine I have ever used. It took up every stain, smell and left it like a new carpet and it is 14 years old.
I know it is a little more expensive however the simple use and no having to put it together really counts with me. I would recommend it to anyone. Now I am getting ready to clean the rest of my house. Thats how excited I am about having it. Thanks Bissell!
