Better than Oreck [Posted on 2008-08-19]
I bought this item to replace an Oreck 'steam cleaner' with which I was fed up. The Oreck costs a fortune AND it's heavy, hard to use and very troublesome to clean . Add to that the fact that, despite it's price, the Oreck is NOT a steam cleaner--it relies on hot tap water like every other brand.
HOWEVER, this little Bissel had it's maiden voyage today, and I'm happy to report that it's easy to use and lightweight, yet it picks up just as much dirty water as my old horrible Oreck.
The clean water and dirty water tanks on the Bissel are separate, unlike Oreck. SO the Bissel tanks are so much easier to remove and re-insert.
There's virtually no assembly required (one screw). And one additional 'plus' is that you can use any cleaning solution you want. (Oreck's design forces you to use their brand only.) I wanted a hypo-allergenic solution which Bissel sells.
The bottom line is that, so far as I can research, no carpet 'steamer' sold for home use actually produces real steam. So don't waste your money on expensive models.
This one does the job even in my household of multiple cats, dogs and sometimes muddy garden. You won't break your arm pushing it around and you won't make up excuses to procrastinate the carpet cleaning chore.
If it REALLY produced steam, I would give it five stars.
It sucks! [Posted on 2008-09-03]
Things I like about this:
Sucks alot of water out, carpet is nearly dry by the time I am done.
Lightweight, not too big, easy to store and easy to empty the container with no confusing parts to mess with.
A quality build, I've had mine for more than 2 years, which is some kind of a record for a cleaning device made for the mass retail market in my experiance.
Though the list of dislikes is longer than the list of likes, I only wanted it to suck the moisture out of the carpet, and that it does (for the most part!).
Things I don't like:
Doesn't suck water right up to the .5th of an inch edge of the carpet where it meets the wall, when cleaning cat urine stains I had to try to sop it up with a rag, not fun.
Doesn't actually heat the water, but you can use hot water in it- manual style.
Water gets sloshed around in the lower compartment as it gets full, and due to it's design it can leak or spash on you, leading to alot of very gross moments and emergency laundry situations.
Hair can get clogged in the main compartment so make sure you have a good vaccum to get it all up beforehand.
I have a Koblens floor cleaner that scrubs my floors, I doubt the static floor cleaning bristles on this device could do the job. But for just pure extraction, it's the way to go! I'm blown away how somthing so cheap could work so well. I wish it soaked up all the urine in one pass, as it is I have to empty it several times... but for only 2 times what it costs to rent an extractor I can spare the time.
I also use this to soak up the water on my tile bathroom floors after I clean them. Works like a charm, barley leaves any moisture behind.
Buy it!! Perfection won't be had for less than $300 bucks for this kind of machine, I can almost guarantee that.
great little spot cleaner for the price [Posted on 2008-09-06]
I too read the reviews on this product before buying it, there were so many that loved it and so many that did not like it??? I decided to be my own judge for the price.
I figured for $70 I was not going to be out to much if it did not work really great....I have a small hand held, down on your hand and knees Dirt Devil spot scrubber... that work ok for small spots but forget if it is big... well I got the Bissell quick steamer and was extremely impressed.
It is so light weight..I have owned the expensive $300 steamers that are so heavy my back aches for a week after cleaning the floor, not with the Bissell quick steamer..., small, easy to store and gets the big spots out too..Like everyone said it does not steam, it does not have rotating brushes, and the water does not heat up....but I still think it really works great..But then I guess if you have really dirty carpets rent the industrial cleaner at the super market and get this for the spot cleaning...in between cleanings...it will get the spots out or at least it did for me, I have a seven year old son and a five month old puppy..... Thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll keep the little dirt devil scrubber for the stairs.
A good carpet cleaner [Posted on 2008-09-21]
It is a good carpet cleaner for my small apartment. It works well. However, it really exhaust me in cleaning the cleaner itself after each usage.
GREAT SERVICE-GREAT CLEANER [Posted on 2008-10-05]
Bissell 1770 Quicksteamer Lightweight Upright
Deep Cleaner Carpet Cleaner (Purchased on 09/04/2008)
great cleaner for a fair price... used it four times with amazing results.
but it's NOT a "STEAMER" SO THE NAME SHOULD BE "QUICKCLEANER"
BISSELL has been making cleaners for decades and they did it right
with this little machine.
