Upgraded from an older Bissell heated pet pro cleaner that we had for many years. This model was an excellent choice. Better cleaning, larger water tanks and easier emptying of the waste tank. Despite the size and weight the unit is easy to maneuver. The longer power cord and hose means less reconnecting and we can clean multiple rooms and stairs without relocating the unit. Definitely worth the price and should have purchased this model originally. Great product Bissell!!!
