I really like the Bissell Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner is a gem for helping me to keep the oriental rugs looking new and clean. I also want to add I have a dangling nerve in my lower back which limits me for doing some basic tasks. I am able to use this cleaner because it is so lightweight. I did use the Bissell Oxy Pet Deodorant solution in the cleaning tank. I have a ninety-five pound shepherd which is tough on my oriental rugs. See the pictures the rug came out looking like new. My next project is my long haired cat's favorite chair. Thank you Bissell for manufacturing such a nice appliance.
