Portable Deep Cleaners vs. Upright Deep Cleaners

Regular deep cleaning is a way to know your carpets are at their cleanest. But given the choice between an upright machine and a portable machine, which should you choose?

Upright deep cleaners are designed to make it quick and easy to deep clean entire rooms of carpet. What sets many BISSELL upright deep cleaners apart are the rows of DirtLifter® Powerbrushes—they do the hard work so you don’t have to. These brushes have stiff bristles placed in a wavy formation on the rotating brush, helping to scrub and lift the dirt and stains your vacuum can’t reach. Then powerful suction lifts it away.

Portable deep cleaners are smaller machines that are great for cleaning spots and stains quickly and easily. They’re convenient to have on hand for unexpected spills, including, wine, juice and pet messes . Having a portable deep cleaner at the ready helps to keep your home looking and feeling fresh between regular deep cleans.

When it comes to upright deep cleaners versus portable deep cleaners, it’s not about which is better; it’s about which is best suited for the job at hand. Think your home could use both? Check out our Lift-Off® Deep Cleaning System, offering both upright and portable cleaning in one machine!
