Bissell Commercial Bissell BigGreen Commercial BG10 Deep Cleaning 2 Motor Extractor Machine

This surpassed any expectations I held. Pros: slide off the top of the box, plug in the extension cord and it’s ready to go! This is lighter weight than I expected (Female/mid thirties). It is fairly easy to pick up and carry. Cleaning is a breeze. As directions state: vacuum well! I have a Miele C1 cat and dog, vacuum daily (I work from home), and hair still came up. However, none was stuck to the machine or bristles when done. Easy to operate. Quieter than expected. Removed two stains from my cat throwing up (treated with biokleen carpet cleaner). Rather than use my handheld machine I waited two days for this to arrive. I have three senior dogs (18,16, and 15) one has kidney disease and is deaf (she was given 30 days to live 5 years ago) and in the last few months has struggled to hold her bladder more often. I am fairly good at catching accidents when they happen (luckily they happen on the hardwood more than the carpet), but I was hoping this machine would take care of what I possibly missed (I began to smell an off urine smell in parts of our room). I must admit I despise carpet. Our bedroom is on the first floor and one of two carpeted areas (the upstairs carpet but two of my dogs are too old for stairs). We recently moved into our home and I could not continue paying a company to come out and clean the carpets (which are new), no matter how often they claimed (green and low scent!) eco-products, my house wreaked like the laundry aisle at target. I have an older cat who has survived cancer twice, an husband who survived hereditary cancer, and needed to continue to minimize exposure to toxic junk. Not to mention the smell left was overwhelming and gave everyone headaches. After running this machine with diluted Puracy cleaner (and then running a rinse cycle over the carpet), only a faint citrus smell is left and carpets look so clean! The water was so brown! The carpets looked cleaner and smelled better than when the professionals have come out. They were also far less damp. I placed a dehumidifier, cracked a window for a bit of winter air, and shut the door to not trigger the thermostat. Cons: it takes forever to use. I may have went much slower than some (I had to refill four times). It took me almost two hours to do our small room. I am not looking forward to doing the living room (but the blessing of clean and fresh carpets outweighs the time it takes to use). If I were only using this a few times a year, I wouldn’t care, but as I know I will replace these carpets within a year, I plan on cleaning them once a month to keep things cleaner. The upstairs where only cats hangout occasionally will see the remainder of uses.

When I bought this, I was highly skeptical because I have always used a Rug Dr that I rented from a local carrier. I have used them for years and was not really familiar with the Bissell Machine. I bought it after reading some reviews from other people who purchased this particular product. As with everything, there were both positive and negative reviews to go through. Build quality for both machines is good. However, after using both machines, I feel that the Big Green has a better design than the Rug Dr. One of the reviews caught my eye and really swayed me towards this product. It mentioned the ease of cleaning and maintaining the item. The biggest difference between a Rug Dr and the Bissell Big Green Machine is in the way it scrubs the carpet. Rug Dr uses a brush bar that moves from front to back rapidly to scrub the carpet where as the Bissell uses a spinning drum just like a vacuum to scrub the carpet. I have not tried to take apart a Rug Dr to clean it but with the Big Green you just push a small lever and the drum swivels out of the bottom, remove (3) screws and the brush pulls right out. Access to all of the dirt and pet hair is easily removed. Time it takes me to tear it apart and put it back together for cleaning is about 10 to 15 minutes. This is important to me because I do not care how many times you go over your carpet with a vacuum or how long you take to vacuum, there is going to be deep dirt that will come up during cleaning. With pet hair it is the same. Pet hair works its way into your carpet and with a good carpet cleaner it is going to get pulled out and stick to the inside of the machine. I literally just pulled a handful out of it that was stuck to the drum around the brush. Thankfully it is easy to remove so I can get in and clean it out. As far as performance of the two machines, I would say that they are almost equal. I do see that the Big Green has the ability to pull up more of the water than the Rug Dr leaving your carpet dryer after one pass. I have (2) 100+lb bull mastiffs. My female has a bladder control issue so I am cleaning my carpets is a monthly chore for me.. The pet stains do come up. I use the Bissell Advance Clean and Protect with a good pet spot treatment prior to cleaning. That pretty much sums up my review. I do recommend this to anyone who owns a home and is wanting their own machine to keep the carpets clean. It is a decent investment to make but if you are always having to rent one to get it done you may as well buy one. It really does save a lot of my time by having it on hand rather than being at the whim of store hours and the time it takes me to pick it up and return it. Hope this helps.

I have about 15 years experience in commercial and residential floor care and carpet cleaning. This is the machine I purchased for my own home use, and I also use it for friends and family. I don't put anything inside the clean tank but hot water, and that is my only rule if someone else is to use it. These models are extremely popular in the rental market, which means they can take a lot of abuse. Maintenance is simple, suction is great for it's size (it won't compare to a truck mount or larger system but it's more than adequate if the user is thorough. Carpet cleaners are wet machines full of dirty water, if you finish a space and immediately click it off and wheel it across a hard surface, you'll drag nasty water everywhere because it's still hanging inside the machine just above the floor, you have to plan for that and act accordingly. A good process for prep, use, and storage is necessary. Always store it with your recovery tank and clean reservoir open to prevent funk and odors. The design is thoughtful and the build quality is fantastic. It's narrow and folds down to something accordion case sized, with sturdy grab spots to lift it up at the front and back (one a few inches higher than the other) which makes it easy to lift and carry, but you'll find doorways a bit awkward to traverse whilst humping it around this way. Always vacuum thoroughly first, twice as many times as you think thorough is. Use a simple pump sprayer to apply a mixed prespray solution to the rug and agitate it (in a pinch you can use a clean broom, but a carpet rake or counter rotating brush made for carpet is ideal), fill the machine with ONLY clean hot water, make slow deliberate passes in straight lines and your primary goal should be pulling as much water BACK UP as possible, so dry passes until you're ready to keel over. If you shut off the machine and a bunch of dirty water dribbles out, you didn't get it very clean and you definitely didn't dry it enough.

AMAZING🙌🏼 product! This carpet shampooer is by far the best I ever used. Easy to use and it just cleans. Sorry I don’t have before and after pictures or video. I have rented rug doctors before, but nothing compares to this machine. I know it’s expensive, but paying someone to clean your carpets will be about the same price. This will pay for itself after a few rooms. I love it and looking forward to getting the hose attachment. ✌🏼

Well what can I say. This thing is awesome. Bought it to replace an older Bissell proheat 2X healthy home pet that was given to me long ago and it finally gave up the ghost a few weeks ago. Did lots of research on this and the rug doctor and this was the better choice. It is constructed of heavy grade high impact plastic and has a very sturdy feel to it. It’s actually built better than I expected but seeing as this machine is commonly used as a rental or contractor unit you know it’s built to handle that kind of use. Be warned. It is a heavy machine weighing in at around the 40 pound range give or take but that actually works to its advantage as far as extraction goes. The detachable yellow 16/3 25” power cord gives you plenty of reach so there’s less hassle with having to change plug-in locations. The large high capacity 1.75 gallon solution and recovery tanks means you spend more time cleaning without having to stop and refill and get rid of the dirty water. Sound level isn’t too bad considering it has a rather large vacuum motor. It kind of sounds like an older shop vac. Even with the brush roll motor running it’s still not too bad. Now let’s talk about what matters. How it cleans. Unlike the rug doctor, this machine cleans on both the forward and backward pass instead of just on the backward motion of the rug doctor. The high pressure spray and large multi row brush roll make quick work of heavily soiled carpets and the powerful suction pretty much picks up everything it puts down so the carpets dry rather quickly. The key to peak performance is you MUST thoroughly vacuum prior to using any kind of carpet extractor. Also, make your cleaning passes with a slow steady motion so the machine can do a thorough job. Especially important so the suction can extract the dirty water more thoroughly. What I do is make one forward and backward pass with the solution trigger squeezed then one forward and backward pass over the same swath with trigger released for a good extraction. Using hot water from the tap (not boiling) with the recommended amount of carpet cleaner per the instructions aids in better cleaning. Cleanup afterwards is a breeze. The entire top of the recovery tank comes off so it’s easy to empty and rinse out when you’re finished cleaning. Good idea also to rinse out the clean water tank and let both sit open to dry. Give the brush roll a cleaning to get any carpet lint from the bristles and in the brush area. I always run a little plain water through the system to flush out any soap residue in the pump and lines and spray nozzle. All in all I consider this machine a great choice for anyone looking for a high quality extractor. With proper care and maintenance it will last many years. Highly recommended.

Finally, a workhorse carpet cleaner that can handle frequent bouts of kitty vomit. Easy to disassemble and clean. Heavy but manageable as long as you don’t have back issues.

I’m sharing my honest experience to help others understand what this machine is (and what it is not). Pros: • Not very heavy compared to larger commercial carpet cleaners • Easy to clean and maintain after use • Simple and intuitive to operate — no learning curve • Convenient for regular maintenance and light cleaning Cons: • This is not a truly professional-grade machine • Compatible cleaning solutions are mild and non-aggressive • It will not make your carpet look brand new — it refreshes and improves appearance, but does not deeply restore heavily worn or stained carpet Overall: This carpet cleaner is a good option for homeowners or light-use situations. It works well for refreshing carpets, removing surface dirt, and maintaining cleanliness between deeper professional cleanings. If you expect a commercial-level deep clean or dramatic transformation, this is not the right machine. But for ease of use, maintenance, and regular upkeep, it performs well.

First .... remove all packing material. This machine was impressive on the first rug but it was crazy impressive on the second rug when I took the cardboard packing material out of the suction line. Seriously though ... it's worth every penny and it stores better than my out- going machine. I have rugs and then berber carpet in two rooms. The other machine cleaned pretty good but didn't have enough suction power to pull the moisture and dirt from deep in the fibers. My berber used to take half a day or longer to dry and that just made the dirty look come back faster. The suction of this machine let my carpets dry within 2 hours! With four dogs ... a quality machine is a must to clean my carpets. Wish I would have just bit the bullet long ago. Ive spent more than the cost of this machine buying other machines and renting other machines. No more!

Great machine! Amazing how well it’s built. Lighter than expected. Simpler to use than expected. Functions at 10/10 score. The dirty water tank after rinsing looks brand new! They must have used some silicone compound to prevent dirt from sticking. The only thing was that the hose is extra $100. PS. After using it for about 10 minutes, I realized I hadn’t taken out cardboard piece where the suctioning is done. Despite that, the rugs looked amazingly cleaner—a testament to the power of this machine!

The BigGreen arrived a week after I had just washed the carpets using our old household carpet cleaner, so I thought I'd give it a try in our daughter's room. When I went to empty the BigGreen in the bath tub, I was amazed at how dirty our carpet was. While the BigGreen does an excellent job of cleaning our carpets, there are a few Pros and Cons to the BigGreen: Pro: - Tanks very easy to fill, empty, and clean - Brushes on the bottom very easy to remove and clean - Power cord can easily be changed (long yellow extension cord that is included with the BigGreen) - Handle folds down for easy storage - And of course, nice clean carpets Cons: - No accessories included. So, if you plan on cleaning your car or if you have carpets on your stairs, you will need to purchase the hose separately. - Heavy - I found it difficult to maneuver Okay if you are just going backwards and forwards, turning is difficult and sometimes feels like the whole thing is going to tip over (especially if the top tank is full and bottom one is empty). In conclusion, this is the same carpet cleaner you see available for rent at many retail stores. It does an excellent job of cleaning carpets, and is a very good investment for anyone who has pets or kids and want to keep their carpet clean. I've used this a number of times for those "accidents" on the carpet. Very easy to setup and put away.

Its a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. The commercial version is a little more powerful with better results on really ground in dirt. I realize I could rent one but i think it will pay for itself in no time. Its just a pain loading and unloading in my vehicle. Great product definitely worth it

I used my machine today and I am amazed how great it works. I used to own another brand before but there is no comparison. It is a bit heave but the pay off is that it really dries the carpet well. In a couple of hours my carpet was dry. Considering it is winter that is pretty impressive.

Very good product. Do not regret this purchase at all. I have been shopping for a while a finally decided to go for this model. Very robust, it is doing an awesome job on carpet, couch, sofa even with my winter jacket using the hand tool (big green commercial hose) sold separately. I saw the other residential options at the store and I do not regret to have chosen this commercial deep cleaning machine. Design is robust, simple to use and easy to maintain.
