I bought the predecessor of this machine and let it sit in the back of a couple of years. What a mistake. I do not know if it's age (see NiCad go wrong on the shelf?) O design flaw, but runs only about five minutes for a fee. Electric spray is great – even distribution of cleaning solution with little effort – but I only have a spoonful back into the hopper of the battery before dying. I have a boy cat that was neutered too late and I think I need something a bit heavier than when the neighbor cats come and make him nervous enough to start marking their territory INTERIOR again.

The dogs had an accident today, so I took my new Spot Lifter to address some points in the ole number 2 on my new carpet. I used the Bissell 8 oz liquid cleaning that comes with the terrain lifter. The spray mechanism worked well and I saturated the dodo and the point has been cleared away with the scrub brush. It worked well from a standpoint of cleaning still leaves a trail of shit, but my biggest problem is the almost total lack of any aspiration. I admit that over spray and used about 1 / 3 of the bottle of cleaning spray for this small but smelly. I realized that maybe an ounce of fluid was aspirated unpleasant the reverse of my carpet and on the machine. Basically no suction. The rest of the cleaning fluid is still in my new carpet. I have to do some manual labor here. Avoid these people.

This does a poor job of cleaning and shampoo dosent get a backup. The tissue is kept moist.

I bought this issue yesterday and wasted my money. I am writing this so you will not have to. First, it seems like a good idea for me since I have limited space. I charged the battery for the instructions and used it on a stain. . . I was fine, but I knew I have to do a clean 2. Then all hell broke loose! You have to remove the collector face every time you use the machine, empty and replace. Easier said than done – and is not as easy as the instructions imply. I tried several times today (20 + since my purchase of today) to replace the manifold front – is impossible! Every time I think I got it, "snapped into place," I started the machine and washing liquid which flows from the side. Needless to say I've had several "little green" cleaning fluid showers in the last 24 hours! I'd say if you have the space to watch a bigger model because I can not believe that there would be the same problems. . . Take it from someone who just lost $ 45 and shelving.

I used this clean almost every day for 2 months, because I tend to a cat that has problems with poop and poop on the carpet only, no matter how often the discipline him. In any case, the battery is dead, and will now make its way into the trash. It worked well while it lasted, but its short battery life makes it unprofitable. I feel bad for being a waste and deterioration, and Bissell should feel worse for the sale of a product that goes through the Strait to a landfill. We believe that the green people! This is the last time you buy a product from Bissell, since I can not trust them to be responsible in this time of global warming we live
