Bissell 1697-M PowerSteamer Pro Upright Vacuum Review

If you are looking for a rug steamer please be sure and check out the Bissell power steamer .Not only is is the best value for the money its also well built and dependable .

when I first saw the Bissell my first reaction was This is going to be to heavy for me I'm 5 foot tall and am about 109 lbs so Big heavy units make me feel that I will not be able to maneuver them around . I actually was about to buy a smaller unit but my husband said no get the big one it looks better made so I thought I would give it a try . I'm so Glad I did the bissell looks big but its not at all hard for me to use . It cleans the carpets very well and the carpets dry quickly.

I really needed a carpet cleaner I have 1 long haired big dog and one long haired cat  my wall to wall carpet is lite tan .We have had so many people coming to visit over the passed 6 months my carpets were looking shabby , After using this once my carpets are back to normal and really soft under bare feet , This actually surprised me ,clean is expected but softness is a Great.

What I also Like is there is a really easy loading bucket you fill at the sink with hot watter and once its empty of fresh wash water you just dump it out refill and set the bucket back in, very easy NO stress and no attached to the sink hose. just one bucket for both fresh wash water and dirty used water .

The attachment works very well for cleaning the couch you just have to be sure that the soap container is full or the water will not come out of the hose thingy . I found this out by washing a part of the couch only to have the water stop coming out of the hose. I thought whats up with that. but found out that as long as the little bottle has the wash liquid in it it works just fine . So keep that in mind because at first I thought there was a problem with the hose ,anyway I did the whole couch and it looks new .

This unit is not to loud and easy to push, it cleans very well and your carpets will dry quickly so if you do them in the morning they are dry by afternoon .very nice and hard working .
