- A nice little machine.
- Upon opening some pieces were laying in the bottom of the box. I removed everything and noticed one broken piece and one missing for the attachment. One call to the bissel service dept. with a detailed explanation to live help and they sent a free replacement upon review of my receipt and the cord end cut off the bad unit and fedex'd to them prepaid. Within 5 biz days a new refurb was delivered free of charge and it worked great! As far as the use, it is a little heavy but it has to be to clean in auto mode. With unit in deep clean it goes through cleaner fast but does a good deep clean. The buttons are easy to understand and the hand attachment works good. Its definately a time saver in our house with 2 little boys. Thanx Amazon & Bissel!

- Priming is frustrating
- So this product must be plagued with this priming issue. Out of the box mine would not spray no matter what. I tried all the methods online but they did not work. But I am resilient, and didn't want to go through the hassle of returning/exchanging. I finally found a method that works, though it isn't for the faint of heart. Turn the unit off, and suck (yes, with your mouth) the small tip on the hose that dispenses the cleaner. Give it some good hard sucks, no liquid should be coming through though. Now turn the vacuum on and squeeze the trigger. If your luck is as good as mine, the fluid should start coming out. As far as cleaning goes, it seems to do the job on the my cat's hairball spots, which was the main purpose of the vacuum, so I am happy with the purchase (minus the priming).

- Works as Advertised
- Bought a refurbished model. Works great! Better utilized if you have lots of spots as the reservoir holds enough for about 3-4 applications using the spot bot. The manual vacuum works great for those hard to reach areas. Be aware that this uses quite a bit of the cleaning forumlas per filling which is why it's recommended to use on more than one or two spots.

- The least they could do is clean it before they ship it.
- I just got the machine. It had pet hair in the brush and both bottles of cleaning fluid were half empty. This was a little disconcerting. It's like finding a X-rated video in a 'remanufactured' DVD player, (assuming you don't like the idea of used X-rated videos).
I bought it for my outdoor furniture and the occasional spill in the house. I tried it, and to my surprise, it actually seems to work. It does, however, take a lot of elbow grease when using the brush. - 2008-03-13, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- I can't live without it!
- I love this little carpet cleaner. Its lightweight so it's not a pain to move around, but it still does an amazing job. The tank doesn't hold a lot of water/solution, but its really easy to fill so I don't mind having to refill the tank. I love the hands-free option, just set it on a spot and it does all the work. This option tends to leave the spot pretty wet so i go over it a couple times with the hose. I had some spots in my carpet that I couldn't get out, even when i rented a carpet cleaner, but this machine got them out the first time I used it. I really recommend the oxy gen2 cleaner, it works wonders!
