General Comments
Had this Bissell Powerwash Proheat three years. The TURBO-Brush attachment is pathetic. The manual brushes are better with a lot of elbow grease but still not great. The upright part of the cleaner is very poor and clogs very easily. Never leave it on carpet while you refill as you will return to find a sharp dirty line where the front of the machine is supposed to to suck in dirty water. The machine is not good enough to clean away that line. Being good with technical things I have repaired many elecrical items, so taking this apart to thoroughly clean it was not too difficult. When put back together it worked fine, after two months of storage it didn't work until I had taken it apart again and un-stuck the tubes. The inner water reservoir perished and leaked after about a year. Even though it still works I hired a machine last time because overall it turns out quicker.
