I received the Bissell carpet cleaning machine late last week when I returned home from a trip. I was able to try the deep carpet/pet upright cleaner. I have had at least two pets for years. My dog is a maltipoo but my sisters dogs are always here. I absolutely would purchase this machine and have bragged about the ease of it to a couple of my family members already!! My carpets have not been this deeply cleaned since they were new. I have tried machines from the store that you rent along with all kinds of sprays. My house feels and smells so good!! I'm thrilled and I really have enjoyed this product already. I only did carpets on the first floor and I still have to do upstairs and my basement. Happy cleaning for me!!
