Bissell 3624 Spot Clean Professional Portable Carpet Cleaner – Corded , Black

Works better than an upright in some instances…
I purchased my Spotclean on Amazon over a year ago (6/2013). It has worked almost flawlessly for my intended purpose. I use it to clean my carpeted stairs, stained carpet areas, upholstered chairs, and even my car interior rugs. I also just used my Spotclean to ‘clean’ up the mess left behind by my decrepit Bissell Proheat 2X steam cleaner. It had left awful dirt streaks everywhere. With the help of my 3 year old, we used the Spotclean to clean up the dirt streaks.The SpotClean is relatively easy to use and requires a little less effort to pull out, assemble and clean up than my Bissell Proheat 2X (which is being replaced). The suction on the hand tool is excellent. However, it DOES require a bit of hand force to extract the water. I don’t mind because I want the area to dry quicker. Also, you will have to use your hand to scrub the carpet a bit if your stain is stubborn. I think some people may have unrealistic expectations concerning these machines. A hand tool does require your ‘hand’. So, I consider these efforts minimal to achieve my desired results.The SpotClean has cleaned approximately 90% of the stains I have attempted to clean. I have a husband, 3 teenagers, a 3 year old, and a Cairn Terrier. So, I consider this a small feat. I have NOT used it to clean blood, wine, or ink. I really need to get a new upright steam cleaner because I can always tell where I’ve used my SpotClean because the area is lighter than the surrounding carpet. This is because the SpotClean did its job.The SpotClean is compact and easy to move around. It is compact enough to sit on standard stairs without toppling over. It has a bit of weight when the chambers are filled but not enough to cause fatigue by my standards. I am a 5’3 woman, and I don’t lift weights. Some mentioned the desire for a longer hose and a retractable and/or longer cord. However, I think the hose length is adequate since you can easily move the SpotClean from Point A to Point B. If it is too long, then it is unmanageable to re-coil, then you would have another set of complaints from people. Also, if the cord length was longer, it would take more time than I care to spend to wrap it up. A retract feature would be one more thing to break and then we would really complain. Regarding the noise, it is louder than I would prefer but it may be just as loud as a standard vacuum cleaner. It does not bother me enough to do sound comparisons since I am just cleaning spots.I think the SpotClean cleans a decent area on one fill up. I admit, I do more ‘area’ cleaning than spot cleaning sometimes. Once you have taken the time to pull it out and assemble, you want to clean ALL the spots you see. If you are doing a full set of stairs, it will definitely require 2 fill ups. I pour the dirty water down the toilet instead of my laundry sink. I recommend rinsing the hand tool and the water chambers when you finish a job. I try to let the chambers dry overnight before re-assembling to put away. However, I have left the water chamber with the cleaning solution and water between uses without any problems. You will also need to spot check for lint build up on the red filter that is covered by the water chamber. You can wipe off the lint easily. These are all just precautionary steps to reduce ‘yuck’ build-up and musty smells. Remember that carpet cleaning is a dirty job. No matter how convenient the machine is, we still have to clean the filth collected from our handy little devices.My last recommendation is to use the recommended Bissell cleaning solution. It smells wonderful!!!! A little is all you need. Do not use more than recommended. As a matter of fact, I use a little less because I do not want excess shampoo in my carpet.

Me gusta mucho como quedan limpios aunque los líquidos que venden no se me hace que justifiquen su precio. La máquina funciona muy bien.

チャイルドシートの汚れやソファの汚れが綺麗になりました。なかなか良いです。ちょっと音がうるさいのが気になりますが、買って正解でした。

端的に機能について言ってしまえば、洗剤溶かした水入れた霧吹きと水を吸い込める掃除機で事足ります。少量かつ頻繁に使うのでなければそちらのほうがコストパフォーマンスはよいのではないでしょうか。10000以下で入手できます。じゃあなぜわざわざ3万出してこれを買うのか。霧吹きに相当するシャワー(?)をバキュームがセットになっているため、霧吹いて、バキュームしての手間が省けます。面積が広かったりすると違いが判るのではないでしょうか。あと、ほかの方も述べていますが、清掃面は濡れます。ずぶぬれです。シャワーと言いましたがむしろ穴の広がった霧吹きのようにボタボタと水が出てきます。それをバキュームでズォーッと吸うイメージです。乾かさないと座れません。まあ、霧吹きでかけてタオルで叩くように、っていう掃除よりははるかにはかどるでしょう。
