well, I should have said the Bissell I have - I've had for quite some time - it is a canister and it doesn't look like they make it anymore. But this ProPwer 2x looks like it is similar in power, etc.
Deep Cleaners - the even have one called Pet that is supposed to be save around animals.
I just think the Bissell is a pretty good product - and I have been impressed with the solutions they make for their machines
Perhaps you can find some reviews online.
