I really do like the Bissell pet stain machine. First off I LOVE that it's rechargeable and it holds its charge. I've used mine a few times and still have over half a battery left. It works great and its light weight so I can literally take and use it anywhere. Weve used ours for pet stains, for cleaning our steps and for small areas of heavy foot traffic since it's much easier than getting our big carpet cleaner out. I really, really like how small this machine is, it makes it much easier to clean smaller stops. The only negative I can give it is that it doesn't hold much dirty liquid so when I clean my stairs I have to empty it a couple times....but I don't mind since its so easy to use and doesn't weigh hardly anything.
