I enjoyed using the Bissell TurboClean Pet XL, out of the packing it was easy to put together and set up. Almost right away I used the bottle of Bissell cleaner that came with it on my couch. I have a dog and two cats, so my couch takes a beating. It was easy to use and I was amazed how much dirt and hair came off my couch. I was on a roll! The next day was my dirty area rug, my dog had gotten sick and thrown up on it it took the stain right out. I cleaned the machine (which was very easy) and clean the carpet upstairs in the Master bedroom. I had no problems doing the carpet it came out clean and smelled fresh.
