Surprising Things Come in Small Packages
I live forever in the hopes of finding a deep cleaner that really meets my expectations, but after testing my neighbor's huge, heavy Kirby years ago, my friend's Bissell ProHeat, renting Rug Doctor machines, and owning a Hoover SteamVac, I've had plenty of experience with the different models and features. Nothing has met my expectations.
I even worked as a teen for a neighbor who owned a Stanley Steemer type chain and know that they're results weren't great either. Cleaning up the equipment after they'd been through a house took hours. Deep cleaners end up being heavy, especially if you have more than one level in your home, awkward to use, difficult to clean out, and rarely effective. This is why I approached my test run of the Bissell ReadyClean with some skepticism. I'm actually surprised with the results.
Pros:
-This machine is as light as they come. At 12 pounds, I was amazed by how easy it was to move and carry.
-I won't say it put my...
An ideal, simple and uncomplicated, money-saving cleaning helper
I've had a previous deep cleaner, but it was cumbersome, difficult to operate and maintain, and just not what I, a 78 year old apartment dweller, felt comfortable with.
I just received this today and was first delighted to find it extremely easy to assemble. This is saying a lot because I more often than not have difficulties with "easy-to-assemble" items. I had one very minor difficulty with getting one screw in the proper place, but corrected that easily, so that wasn't enough to knock off a star.
Operating it was a piece of cake with the help of the easily understood instructions. And while I'm admittedly a slob when it comes to getting things clean, I did a fine job on the carpet including eradicating a couple of old spill stains.
I admitted my age in the first paragraph because I believe it's very important to indicate that even a guy my age can handle this light weight equipment with ease.
So I'm more than highly pleased with this...
Good For Surface Cleaning
This is the fourth Bissell cleaner I've owned, the Spot Bot by far being my favorite. I've also owned and given away two Hoover cleaners. Always a fan of upright vacuums and cleaners, I was eager to try this new toy.
Assembly is literally a snap of two body pieces attached with two provided screws. The adjustable handle slides and snaps on; it's held stationery with a twist of a plastic nut. Fill the water reservoir up to the marked line and add to the water with solution up to the second marked line. If you opt not to use the concentrated solution, you'll have to do some measuring of the cleaning fluid. Personally I never measure, but simply guesstimate and have never had a problem. Be careful not to use too much solution or you'll be dealing with a soapy mess.
For my first cleaning project I did the upstairs hallway and was ready to chuck this machine almost immediately. It didn't dispense water and after some manipulations it dispensed water intermittently...
