We welcomed a new puppy recently and we were so happy to have received the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser as part of the Stellar Product Testing panel. I'm also the mom of two young kids that easily spill food, drinks, etc. I've had many cleaners from small to big and I have to say this was by far the easiest to set up and get going. It's powerful enough, but in no way replaces a heavy duty big cleaner. But that's not what I would buy something like this for. This is perfect for those small areas and quick clean ups. I love how compact it is, and how easy it is to fill and empty. I also love the fact that it is cordless and easy to just pick up and take wherever you need for quick clean ups. I have cleaned area rugs, carpet, and even our sofa with ease and was able to get even old stains out with this cleaner. Happy mom here thanks to the ease of the Pet Stain Eraser.
