We had a BISSELL spot cleaner before and loved it but after about 4 years the hose started to crack so it was time to upgrade. Thought we would something upright that looked easier to clean out after use. We use it primarily for cat puke which is usually orangish in colour. I use about half a tank on one stain (this is substantially more than my last cleaner which increases the cost to use this product). One stain I've tried 3 times to get it clean and it still remains. Ended up ordering another spot cleaner in addition to this so basically just waisted my money. I'm outside the 30 day return policy cause you can't make a cat puke to test out the product. Would not recommend for pet spot cleaning.
