Its not for a big mess or area but works okay to remove smaller stains immediately. This product is pretty good.
The water is expelled thru the motor vents to such a point that you, your clothes, the wall near the carpet and the nearby furniture are coated with this soapy residue.Junk - complete junk I have taken it apart and put it back together numerous times and the problem continues. Don't know how good it is because the water (dirty or clean - I don't know) escapes thru the vents that are supposed to release the air generated by the motor. There is no, repeat NO way to stop this on my machine.
I just threw it away and am ordering a new SpotLifter. It just doesn't do the job. All the brushes do is swirl the spot around. It doesn't have automatic scrubbing brushes, but it has great suction and does the job perfectly. I've had this thing for over a year and only used it two or three times because each time I do I swear I won't use it again. After totally using up two Bissell SpotlLifters, I thought I'd give one of these a try.
Wrong. It's heavy and noisy and ineffective. After all, it has scrubbing brushes, right. Well, it's here, and I just had apot to clean up. It's lightweight and coreless to boot. So it should do a better job, right.
The suction is horrible.
So a very small area of the scrubber actually scrubs the carpet, and even then, only the ends of the bristles reach it. That means most of the scrubber never touches the carpet during operation. In short, the unit has very little cleaning power, leaving it ineffective for short carpets or bigger spills. In the year I've had the Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber, I've never been able to clean much of anything on my short, berber-style carpet. My main gripe with the product is a little different than others cited here; if you look at the angled, circular scrubber itself, you can see that about 80% of it is recessed inside the casing.
My mom always used bissell carpet cleaners and handhelds and hers crapped out after 6months. I have never had a bad experience with this cleaner. OBVIOUSLY if you have something clumpy you gotta 'pick it up' THEN clean it.otherwise it will throw whatever clumps you're cleaning at you-I don't know any cleaner that won't. I have a small dog who cannot go out in the colder months and is crate trained but can be high maintenance.
Don't pay any attention to those people that comment 'it won't clean up my dog's diarrhea, vomit, carpet runner,etc.first of all-this is a SPOT CLEANER. I've had this awhile and it's great. And as far as suctioning.you set it on vaccum to scrub and suck to residue and spray first.I've never had a problem and highly recommend it. Not a FULL SIZE Carpet cleaner.don't be cheap and buy this expecting to clean your 'entire carpet runner or entry way'.it's not gonna happen, you'll be exhausted.
Pet stains, poo stains, soda, vomit.you name and this thing will clean it. So great I'm getting my mom one for xmas.don't believe the negativity.they're just challenged. I believe it is capable of doing so-if you don't mind doing it. I've used it daily for pet stains.
