This vacuum is unbelieavable!  It worked wonders on all the carpets in my home.  I have an old dog and a messy husband, and my carpets look even better than the day I bought the house!  The Bissell is so easy to use and it is very powerful!  Pets stains?  NO PROBLEM!  I feel like I've tried everything else to get rid of pesky pet stains.  I highly recommend the Bissell pet stain remover solution to use with the Bissell cleaner for best results.  The hot water tank is very simple to clean, and there are a bunch of brushes to work on the carpet.  Don't be alarmed if the machine occasionally...
