This handy appliance is both compact and ultralight to make the household chores just that much easier. Since 1876, BISSELL have been producing innovative products to help us better take care of the homes we live in. We tested this deep-cleaning model on a bedroom carpet and a very dog-soiled rug and it tackled both with ease. When your floors are clean, put the HydroWave onto the specially designed cleaning tray to prevent any drips.

If you regularly find yourself having to tackle stubborn stains, the Platinum Power Max’s handy pre-treatment wand lets you treat the area in advance of cleaning, while the SpinScrub tool is perfect for tackling your stairs, car and other difficult-to-reach areas. It also has a separate tank for cleaning fluid, is lighter, and no longer comes with a pre-treatment wand. It also comes with a rinse tray: fill this with water, place the cleaner on it when you’ve finished, and set it off. This system requires a towel to blot up the excess fluid, and you need to be gentle with your grip pressure when using it or the carpet will get drenched. Regardless of the mode, Bissell recommends that you press and hold the trigger for a single forward and backwards pass, then repeat the motion without the trigger held down to prevent overwetting the area.The lack of handheld tools makes it tricky to tackle some deeper spot stains or stairs, but that's the trade-off of having such a compact cleaner.

While this model misses out on handheld tools for spot cleaning and in-depth stain removal, it’s a more practical and easy-to-use carpet cleaner for dealing with day-to-day stains, meaning you’re more likely to use it often to keep your carpet in the best condition. I would never have used my Vax at this time of year, needing warm weather and open windows to dry the carpet. The difficult spots on the carpet need a little spray of cleaning solution which is super easily administered by pressing a button on the controls part of the handle.

When it comes to the crunch, they both do the same thing: deposit a mixture of water and cleaning solution onto your carpet, work it into the pile with the brush, then suck the dirty water back out again. Our installation services are only available in Norfolk and North Suffolk, you will be asked for your postcode during the checkout process to see if these services are available to you.

Carpet: Obviously the time taken, when compared to a proffessional doing the job, is this one takes about 5 times longer to achieve a similar result. This has a transformative impact on dirty carpets, agitating and shampooing them thoroughly, particularly if you set it to its Deep Clean option, although this does leave carpets a little damp. In our experience, you will still need to wait a few hours after use for carpets to be dry enough to walk on, but it certainly helps suck up the worst of the moisture that comes from cleaning.
