We have tried many, None are Better than the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine
If a picture is worth a thousand words, I have posted two pictures of the very first short pass on our home's carpet using this new machine. This is at the top of the stairway in the upstairs hallway. She placed the machine and then pulled the handle releasing the cleaning solution and water and pulled the machine backwards ONE TIME. She did not go back over the spot. Look at the results. Strange thing is, you don't really notice how dirty the carpet is until you use a GREAT MACHINE like this one.........These carpets were cleaned with the Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 just two months ago. My wife vacuums our entire house EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. In fact, she has a machine on each floor to avoid having to carry the vacuum up and down three floors. We have Simplicity Pro Upright Vacuums (an $800 plus per machine vacuum) and a Shark Upright, and they are very good vacuum cleaners. We have 3 large canine kids all who reside in the house, where they belong. Of course, most of the carpeting in our home is an off white berber style carpet. We have tried everything over the years from professional carpet cleanings to various rental carpet cleaners and we have owned a number of machines ourselves. Recently, our neighbors allowed us to borrow their new Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 to clean our carpets. It worked well and I decided it was time to buy our own machine (again). The Rug Doctor we borrowed from the neighbors worked better than the upright Hoover Pet Machine and another similar upright "vacuum cleaner" looking carpet cleaners we have owned. Usually, the biggest flaw in these upright machines which are styled like vacuum cleaners are that they don't extract the water and cleaning solution well (weak suction) which leaves the carpets wet. Also, they have small water holding tanks for both clean water and extracted water. Small tanks mean a lot of filling and emptying of those small tanks. Every minute spent filling or emptying dirty water tanks is a minute NOT spent cleaning the carpets. You can spend more time emptying and filling those small tanks than you actually spend cleaning the carpets. It's critical that you don't overuse ANY of the carpet cleaning solutions when cleaning the carpet. It's a common mistake people make when cleaning their own carpets. Some people equate more soap with cleaner carpets and in reality, just the opposite is actually true. When you use too much soap, the machines don't rinse the carpet well and it doesn't extract the solution OR the water from the carpet. The carpets will actually get dirty faster when they have excess dried cleaning solutions on them. Also, carpets which remain wet longer because the water and solution are not extracted properly will mean more dirt will stick to the carpets and running a vacuum cleaner over damp carpet gums up the vacuum cleaner and reduces the vacuum cleaners dirt lifting ability, not just when the carpets are wet, but afterwards as well. Typical residential Vacuum cleaners (not the Shop vacuum types of machines) are NOT designed to extract moisture from any surface. Getting your vacuum cleaner wet underneath from using it on damp carpets will cause the brushes to gum and the belts to slip and eventually it will wreck the machine. Wet / damp carpets are not only a nuisance, they are destructive to vacuum cleaners. Just ask any vacuum cleaner repair person and they will confirm just how destructive it is to use any residential vacuum cleaner on damp carpets. Ideally, when you begin the project of cleaning your carpets, you want to spend as much of your time actually cleaning the carpets and not shuffling clean and dirty water back and forth. This is where the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning machine really separates itself from the competition. Not only are the clean and dirty water tanks larger than virtually every other machine we have either owned, borrowed or rented, the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine also has a much better cleaning bar to scrub the carpets. But one of the greatest distinctions between our new Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine and the Rug Doctor which we had borrowed from our generous neighbors, is the Bissell is far superior at lifting the water and cleaning solution out of the carpet when you are extracting the water and solution. I would say it is at least TWICE as good as the Rug Doctor machine at actually extracting water and cleaning solution from your newly cleaned carpets. Having owned about half a dozen different machines over the years, I wasn't too excited about spending $400 plus shipping on another carpet cleaner. I have cleaned and repaired our previous machines numerous times and it's really disappointing how many of the machines are really made. The Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine has a 5 year Residential Warranty on the machine, which is excellent. The machine is well made and another SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE between this machine and the Rug Doctor Blue machine is the actual handle height when you use the machine. My wife and I are both taller than average, she is 5'10" and I am 6'4". I personally found the handle on the Rug Doctor machine at a terrible height for me to use. The Rug Doctor machine handle requires me (and my wife) to stoop over to operate the machine, which becomes a problem very quickly. Not the case with the Bissell Big Green Machine. Near as I can tell, the handle operating position on the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine is about 5" taller than the Rug Doctor machine. This makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE when using the machine. Big advantage to the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine. The water and solution extraction of the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine has to be at least DOUBLE that of the Rug Doctor Machine we had borrowed from our neighbors and theirs is a new machine with very little use. How can you tell how much water the machine is extracting? Simple, if you put two gallons of clean water in and when you extract it, you only get 3 quarts of dirty water, the rest of the water is remaining in the carpet, along with some which will evaporate during the process. The point is to get out as much of the water and cleaning solution that you have put into the carpets. The Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine clearly is superior to the rug Doctor in extracting cleaning water and solution out of the carpets. By far, the best machine we have ever used to clean carpets. The carpets were even dryer than when we have paid someone $800 or more to clean our carpets. When my wife cleaned the carpets with the Rug Doctor machine, we actually used those floor drying blower machines for 2 or 3 days after the carpet cleaning to help dry the carpet.Truth is, we are so used to having damp carpet after cleaning that we own two of those clam shell styled floor dryers which the carpet cleaning pro's use. With the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine, there is no need for the floor drying blowers as the carpet was dry to both the touch, but more importantly, it passed the "SOCK TEST" after 24 hours. Walk on the carpets in your socks and see if they get wet. After a day, our carpets passed the "Sock Test" where it took nearly three full days with the rug Doctor machine. The two machines are similar in appearance and in style. But that is where the similarities end. The rug Doctor is a good machine. The Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine is a GREAT MACHINE, especially for the price. I asked my wife to honestly give me any negative about the Bissell machine she could think of after having spent two days cleaning several rooms of carpet and hallways and staircases. We discussed the two machines and their use. In the end, the ONLY negative comment about the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine is that we didn't purchase it sooner. Hands down, The Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine is the best carpet cleaning machine we have ever used, owned, rented or paid others to clean our carpets. Having a direct comparison to the comparable Rug Doctor machine was very handy. I would give the Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 a 7 out of 10, where as I would give the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine a 9.9 out of 10. Why a 9.9 and not a perfect score? I don;t want the Bissell engineers to stop their pursuit of perfection in residential carpet cleaning machines, but with this machine, they are much closer to perfect than any other machine we have ever used.

This machine is worth every penny.
EDIT: Almost a full year later and this machine is still performing amazingly well. Still very happy. I'll try to be brief as I've only used this machine for 2 and a half tanks worth of cleaning. We just received it in they mail yesterday. Our carpet is disgusting to say the least. We have too many animals and let things get out of hand the past couple of years. One of our dogs is 15 and has accidents every day. The light colored carpet is now dark brown from mud, feces, and urine. I really should be too embarrassed to publicly admit to how awful the state of our house is in, but in order to illustrate how well this machine performs I don't want to hold back. Trying to make the house livable again is going to take many hours of hard work, and this Big Green Machine is a great start. I honestly thought the carpets had no chance of becoming clean. I was very wrong. As soon as I came home from work yesterday, I opened the box and unpacked the machine. Basically, this consisted of unfolding the handle to the upright position, and pulling out some pieces of cardboard packed inside the tanks. There's a 24 oz. sample bottle of cleaning solution in one of the tanks so be sure to thoroughly unpack everything. For now, I've set the hose aside because I had to see if spending the money on this top of the line carpet cleaning machine was worth it for our situation. (It is.) After we clean the carpets, I'll get to using the hose on the couches and steps and update on how that worked out. After unpacking, I filled the clean water tank halfway and put in one cap full of cleaning solution and went to work on a little square area I had just vacuumed. Wow! Just one pass forward and back and there was already a nice clearing of dirt, poop, and yuckiness that I thought had no chance of being removed. This machine is the real deal and tackled the test area effortlessly. It's really easy to operate, not difficult at all to push and pull, and the tanks are easy to remove and clean. So far the only negative I have is the cord wrapping around the handle. Just seems like there should be a better solution. Not too big of a deal, but this is a premium machine and it'd be nice to have a retractable cord like my Wind Tunnel vacuum. Speaking of vacuums, I need to find one that performs better than the Wind Tunnel I have now because even after vacuuming, the carpet machine still pulled up a ton of hair from the carpet. I need a vacuum that won't leave so much behind. I'm going to attach some photos of the test area. Keep in mind that this is only one time through. You're supposed to keep cleaning until you no longer see dirty water being sucked up, but since I'm going to do the whole room over the weekend I just did my quick test and took a couple of photos of the few passes I did. I've actually gone over the same area again and it's cleaner than the photos. Five stars for ease of use, and great performance. Buy with confidence!

I bought this machine out of pure frustration. I love the lightweight ease of the Bissell, easy use and two way clean. I use the Bissell Big Green Carpet Machine in a 8 bedroom house living with a large family 2 dogs included. This shampooer cleaned with ease on extra dirty carpets where using other professional carpet cleaners had failed Removed family and dog stains with ease and left my carpets looking brand new. Love it Love it Love it, worth every cent :) :) :)

Excellent cleaner. Does a good job. I have 4 dogs and my carpets get very dirty at this time of the year . I have had numerous cleaners and the' Big Green' is the best cleaner I have had. It is not too heavy either . Very easy to fill and empty and clean. Had a couple of little problems initially but they were sorted out immediately. Very happy with the level of customer care.

Because of COVID restrictions, for more than a year we could not rent carpet cleaners - as the rental locations don't/can't clean the machines satisfactorily after they're returned. And after all that time our carpets looked awful. So, we decided to buy the Bissell Big Green. I did my homework and it looked like the Big Green consistently had the best reviews online. It's not cheap, but it works better - and is cheaper to buy - than the rental machines, and owning one is convenient and proactive. It means you can take your time to clean your carpets thoroughly without rushing to return it before you have to pay for another day of rental. You also have the advantage of having a powerful machine to clean up spills quickly before they set. The suction is so good that the carpets are merely damp after vacuuming. No fans needed as the carpets dry within a couple of hours on their own. I hate cleaning carpets, but if I have to do that job, I'm going to use the Big Green. It works well and it's foolproof to use. If you've got a house full of carpets, you won't regret buying one.
