How do you know if the extra money is worth spending?
I want one that will clean and not leave my carpets so wet. My current Bissel doesn't have brushes that move. Is that something I want in my next cleaner?
If you don't have one you recommend is there one you would stay away from? |
I had a Bissell that heated the water and I had a Hoover, both were uprights and both konked out on me within two years. I also had the Little Green Clean Machine (I'm not sure who makes that one) but it was very weak with the suction and just left the area sopping.
A few months back I picked up a Rug Dr portable. It has a pretty large reservoir and wheels. The brush part can spin or not, switch is on the handle.
I will say that I was looking for an upright and kinda went with it as I was worried about another one breaking down and certainly couldn't spring for a full size Rug Dr, but this portable is amazing.
The suction is so dang strong on it.
I wouldn't recommend it for large areas, but anything under 4x4 you could quickly and easily cover. It's by far stronger then the two uprights I owned.
Good luck in your search!
