Sarkar “ajs-bookseller” (Houston, Tx United States) - See all my reviews    Got this in the mail yesterday, and for the price and quality it can’t be beat! Our living room rug was full of stains (mostly spilled drinks) and all the stains came out. We would have spent way more to RENT a steam cleaner from the grocery store. I have no complaints about this product and am so glad I read the positive comments from the other reviewers because they are so correct! I was worried about the item being refurbished but it works as new and looks like new and is half the price of new! Very lightweight and easy to manage filling, pushing, and cleanup afterwards.

Palmer (EMMITSBURG MD) - See all my reviews    I JUST GOT MY BISSELL QUICKSTEAMER YESTERDAY AND I USED IT YESTERDAY, I LOVE IT. I NEEDED IT FOR MY DOG, HE SOMETIMES DOES’NT LIKE TO GO OUT SIDE. IT WORKED GREAT. I NEEDED SOMETHING VERY LIGHT AND EASY TO USE BECAUSE I HAVE A BACK PROBLEM. THIS WAS PERFECT, I REMOVED IT FROM THE BOX AND PUT IT TOGETHER MYSELF, ONLY THREE SCREWS, DIRECTIONS ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND WITHIN SECONDS OF GETTING IT IN THE DOOR I WAS DOING MY CARPET. EASY TO STORE DOESNT TAKE UP MUCH SPACE AND LIGHT TO CARRY FROM ROOM TO ROOM, I CLEANED UP AFTER MY DOG, AND I CLEAN AREAS WHERE COKE AND COFFEE AND OTHER THINGS WERE SPILLED AND IT GOT IT ALL UP, ANYONE LOOKING FOR A LIGHT WEIGHT EASY TO USE CARPET CLEANER THAT REALLY WORKS, THIS IS IT

Great choice for those with back problems, October 30, 2005

I chose this Bissell based on the weight and the low, low price. I was so happy after using it the first week that I recommended it to a family member, and ordered another one for her (I think it was $6 more at that time-I had purchased it at $42.99). Because the price was so low, I wasn’t expecting it to work as well as it does. It even brought up a lot of dirt from our berber carpet. I had specifically bought it to clean up the berber due to baby formula stains that had been set in for a while. Again, because of the low price, and how long the stains had been there, I was not expecting any miracles. But, I’m happy to report, that the carpet looks new to me again (it’s about 1.5 years old).

As far as the weight is concerned, I did have some back issues following the days I got a little too zealous in how much area I cleaned. However, this little cleaner weighs less than half the weight of my vacuum cleaner! With lower back/disk problems, I’m sure I wouldn’t have been able to use the bigger, higher-priced machines. I’m glad to report I won’t have to with this great find.

The only thing I have found that might present a slight problem is the cap that has to be removed to fill the clean water tank. It might be difficult for someone with arthritis or limited dexterity in his/her hands to remove. I found that it’s best to just turn it slightly, and then it’s not as hard to unscrew it when it’s time to refill the tank. I’m not scientifically-minded in the least; but, perhaps, the cap tightens from pressure as the water is going into the cleaner. I still rate the QuickSteamer 5 stars.
