This is the best purchase I have made in a while. I have owned at least four different types of carpet cleaning machines. I’ve hated every one. Either the suction sucked, or the brushes were worthless, and clean up was disgusting.
But this thing…..The suction is amazing! There is an on/off switch for the brushes to rotate (and they actually loosen hardened cat vomit), and someone actually put thought into the waste water bin design. It has a spout where you run faucet water into and it cleans out all the disgusting water. No more yucky left over waste water to make the bin (and closet) smell.

I bought this unit to replace the bissell green machine. The first green machine lasted for years and worked well. However their quality went down hill. Last one only lasted about 6 months. I bought this unit based upon the reviews. It is cumbersome and it works well as far as suction goes. The fresh fluid tank doesnt seat well and leaks or it doesnt allow fluid to flow. I will not use it indoors since it makes a mess when it leaks.

My spray spout also fell off so now a stream of water comes out which saturates the rug. The only choices I seem to have is to pay $50 and buy the hose attachment just because of a 25 cent piece of plastic. My clean water tank also leaks wherever it stands and I agree someone else had said the design of the tanks needs improvement. I don’t know how many times I took off the dirty water tank and the water runs out on the floor and yes it is hard to hold the tank and fill it. I agree it did seem to clean well back when it had a spray nozzle. Maybe I just had bad luck.

We have three dogs and often have to clean with our RugDoctor Might Pro, but the Portable Spot Cleaner is just a quick portable powerhouse when we just have a small spot on the rug or furniture. The powered brush does a great job at agitating and cleaning. Must have for pet owners.

This machine can handle any stain we have from our pets. It is heavy and bulky to move around the rooms other than that it is one of the better cleaning machines we have ever had.

I purchased this cleaner to get some old pet stains up for a friend of mine. The spot cleaner gets the spots clean very well but there is room for improvement when it comes to design for this machine. I had trouble filling the clean water tank. You have to do it all with one hand because the tank isn’t designed so it can be sat down on anything. It is an odd shape and you have to hold it the whole time you are filling it, putting the cleaner in and putting the lid back on. It gets kind of heavy and the handle it has is hard to hold on to. It’s not actually a handle it’s like a nub you hold on to. You can’t wrap your hand around it so you never have a good grip on it. Also the tube you have to put in the tank has to go in a certain spot and I didn’t realize that (it doesn’t specify that in the instructions) and I put in the wrong position in the tank and it popped off and had to get the tube out of the tank to out it where it needs to be. Very hard to do because your hand can’t fit down in the tank and even if it did the water is hot and it will burn your hand. I had to finally retrieve the tube with some needle nose pliers.
If you know these 2 factors before you buy this machine you will be more prepared than I was.
Also in the description it says it has rotating brushes. It does not, what it has is 2 rows of brushes in the middle that go up and down in a scrubbing motion. They do work well though.
Like I said it got the stains up very well and it doesn’t leave your carpet wet like other machines. I do like the machine and plan to keep it and would recommend it as long as they know about the small design flaws I think they will be alright.
So before you use it find something that you will be able to sit the tank down in while filling and make sure you have the tube in the correct spot and you will be alright.
