Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Upright 2987 Reviews Summary

Usability

Pros:

• "Also very easy to clean."
• "The machine is also easy to clean afterwards."
• "It's easy to easy and it doesn't use a lot of solution so this will last us for a few months!!"
• "They are easy to take off and carry by the handles."
• "It was easy to assemble and some cleaning solution was included in the package."
• "For such a lightweight and easy to use machine, it cleans very well."
• "It is easy to assemble, easy to carry, easy to refill the cleaner container and to empty the residue container."

Cons:

• "Due to the compact or small size I had to refill about 10-13 times to finish most of the room."
• "I wish the dirty water tank was shorter because the full line is like a fifth of the size of the tank."
• "I do wish it was more apparent when I need to empty it."
• "Result being that I had refill the cleaner container and empty the residue continue about every 40-50 square feet."
• "The only this that disappointed was that it does not work for stairs very well or in smaller areas."
• "The clean-water tank is small, thus the area that can be cleaned at a given time is relatively small."
• "The container needs to be emptied a decent amount and I had trouble getting it out without leaking."

Performance

Pros:

• "Wow it looks like the day I had it installed many years ago."
• "It's deep cleaning ability is great and I highly recommend this machine for all pet owners."
• "This powerful machine just cleaned up so much sand, dirt and dog debris that I’m in awe."
• "Brushes seem to clean the carpet and lift up hair."
• "The machine did an excellent job of removing dirt and sand and the vacuum left the carpet fairly dry."
• "It really does pull up pretty much everything in the carpet, even after being vacuumed, it pulls up so much extra crap that the vacuums don't get."
• "The cleaner puts out a nice spray of water and the suction on the cleaner is significant and seems to suck up a lot of the moisture."

Cons:

• "The solution just ran directly through the machine onto the carpet and the machine picked up the solution and did not clean the carpet as stated, it was a bad choice and waste of money!"
• "Eventually the whole motor ended up burning."
• "Had to remover lower tank several times when doing the rugs did not seem to be picking up the water."
• "It really didn’t even suck up half of the water that it emptied out of the tank."
• "It also doesn't get close to walls so there's a 2-3 inch area against the walls that I can't clean with this."
• "The suction was a bit weak, but for my purposes it was good."
• "It did. I definitely had to go over certain spots quite a few times so I do wish the strength of the suction was a bit better but with some patience it worked perfectly."

Design

Pros:

• "One thing I like is that you can lie the machine fully horizontal to reach under furniture."
• "This one has a crevice tool for cleaning edges of wall-to-wall carpeting something I haven’t seen before and a very welcome addition."
• "Very light to use, ease to fill the water resovoire, easy clean when done."
• "It is literally a snap to put together."
• "It's lightweight and easy to operate--with one hand."
• "While you can only go so far under furniture because the water tanks are in the way, I still find it a nice feature."
• "Compact for space saving."

Cons:

• "The rubber valve the creates a tight seal did not last and had to be replaced after two uses."
• "The device comes with a small sample bottle of the rug cleanser."
• "The only drawback is the small water tank that must be emptied frequently, hence the 4 star rating, rather than a 5."
• "The dirty tank is way to big for how much water it holds."
• "The water tank could use some claps to hold it in place like the dirty tank has."
• "No way to take the roller off to clean it without a screw driver."
• "The belt broke after 18 months; totally normal. Except it melted and deformed the brush end."

Value

Pros:

• "It cost me less to do 5 rooms than it would have cost to hire someone to do only 2 rooms."
• "Our carpets never looked so good! HIGHLY recommended!"
• "This carpet cleaner is worth every penny."
• "I’m so glad I finally decided to buy this. Worth it!"
• "What’s not to like for $99 bucks?"
• "The price is phenomenal for a Pro carpet cleaner."
• "I was going to rent a carpet cleaner at Lowes, but they want$39 plus tax. So I calculated $ 113 for this one and I can use it every year, so that's that."

Cons:

• "I would have returned it."
• "I wish I would’ve spent the money on the shark, like my regular vacuum is."
• "It took me 6 hours to clean 1.5 rooms. entirely too small."
• "I will be returning because it wasn't worth the money."
• "Would not buy this model again."
• "All the soap left and water leaked all over my floor."
• "Cleaning solution that comes with it leaves residue that can be felt once dry."

Customer Support

Pros:

Cons:

• "Bissell's customer support is non-existent."
• "Instead of a quick fix, I now have to replace the brush, available only through Bissell currently at a high shipping cost."
