Bissell Commercial Bissell BigGreen Commercial BG10 Deep Cleaning 2 Motor Extractor Machine

This surpassed any expectations I held. Pros: slide off the top of the box, plug in the extension cord and it’s ready to go! This is lighter weight than I expected (Female/mid thirties). It is fairly easy to pick up and carry. Cleaning is a breeze. As directions state: vacuum well! I have a Miele C1 cat and dog, vacuum daily (I work from home), and hair still came up. However, none was stuck to the machine or bristles when done. Easy to operate. Quieter than expected. Removed two stains from my cat throwing up (treated with biokleen carpet cleaner). Rather than use my handheld machine I waited two days for this to arrive. I have three senior dogs (18,16, and 15) one has kidney disease and is deaf (she was given 30 days to live 5 years ago) and in the last few months has struggled to hold her bladder more often. I am fairly good at catching accidents when they happen (luckily they happen on the hardwood more than the carpet), but I was hoping this machine would take care of what I possibly missed (I began to smell an off urine smell in parts of our room). I must admit I despise carpet. Our bedroom is on the first floor and one of two carpeted areas (the upstairs carpet but two of my dogs are too old for stairs). We recently moved into our home and I could not continue paying a company to come out and clean the carpets (which are new), no matter how often they claimed (green and low scent!) eco-products, my house wreaked like the laundry aisle at target. I have an older cat who has survived cancer twice, an husband who survived hereditary cancer, and needed to continue to minimize exposure to toxic junk. Not to mention the smell left was overwhelming and gave everyone headaches. After running this machine with diluted Puracy cleaner (and then running a rinse cycle over the carpet), only a faint citrus smell is left and carpets look so clean! The water was so brown! The carpets looked cleaner and smelled better than when the professionals have come out. They were also far less damp. I placed a dehumidifier, cracked a window for a bit of winter air, and shut the door to not trigger the thermostat. Cons: it takes forever to use. I may have went much slower than some (I had to refill four times). It took me almost two hours to do our small room. I am not looking forward to doing the living room (but the blessing of clean and fresh carpets outweighs the time it takes to use). If I were only using this a few times a year, I wouldn’t care, but as I know I will replace these carpets within a year, I plan on cleaning them once a month to keep things cleaner. The upstairs where only cats hangout occasionally will see the remainder of uses.

When I bought this, I was highly skeptical because I have always used a Rug Dr that I rented from a local carrier. I have used them for years and was not really familiar with the Bissell Machine. I bought it after reading some reviews from other people who purchased this particular product. As with everything, there were both positive and negative reviews to go through. Build quality for both machines is good. However, after using both machines, I feel that the Big Green has a better design than the Rug Dr. One of the reviews caught my eye and really swayed me towards this product. It mentioned the ease of cleaning and maintaining the item. The biggest difference between a Rug Dr and the Bissell Big Green Machine is in the way it scrubs the carpet. Rug Dr uses a brush bar that moves from front to back rapidly to scrub the carpet where as the Bissell uses a spinning drum just like a vacuum to scrub the carpet. I have not tried to take apart a Rug Dr to clean it but with the Big Green you just push a small lever and the drum swivels out of the bottom, remove (3) screws and the brush pulls right out. Access to all of the dirt and pet hair is easily removed. Time it takes me to tear it apart and put it back together for cleaning is about 10 to 15 minutes. This is important to me because I do not care how many times you go over your carpet with a vacuum or how long you take to vacuum, there is going to be deep dirt that will come up during cleaning. With pet hair it is the same. Pet hair works its way into your carpet and with a good carpet cleaner it is going to get pulled out and stick to the inside of the machine. I literally just pulled a handful out of it that was stuck to the drum around the brush. Thankfully it is easy to remove so I can get in and clean it out. As far as performance of the two machines, I would say that they are almost equal. I do see that the Big Green has the ability to pull up more of the water than the Rug Dr leaving your carpet dryer after one pass. I have (2) 100+lb bull mastiffs. My female has a bladder control issue so I am cleaning my carpets is a monthly chore for me.. The pet stains do come up. I use the Bissell Advance Clean and Protect with a good pet spot treatment prior to cleaning. That pretty much sums up my review. I do recommend this to anyone who owns a home and is wanting their own machine to keep the carpets clean. It is a decent investment to make but if you are always having to rent one to get it done you may as well buy one. It really does save a lot of my time by having it on hand rather than being at the whim of store hours and the time it takes me to pick it up and return it. Hope this helps.

I have about 15 years experience in commercial and residential floor care and carpet cleaning. This is the machine I purchased for my own home use, and I also use it for friends and family. I don't put anything inside the clean tank but hot water, and that is my only rule if someone else is to use it. These models are extremely popular in the rental market, which means they can take a lot of abuse. Maintenance is simple, suction is great for it's size (it won't compare to a truck mount or larger system but it's more than adequate if the user is thorough. Carpet cleaners are wet machines full of dirty water, if you finish a space and immediately click it off and wheel it across a hard surface, you'll drag nasty water everywhere because it's still hanging inside the machine just above the floor, you have to plan for that and act accordingly. A good process for prep, use, and storage is necessary. Always store it with your recovery tank and clean reservoir open to prevent funk and odors. The design is thoughtful and the build quality is fantastic. It's narrow and folds down to something accordion case sized, with sturdy grab spots to lift it up at the front and back (one a few inches higher than the other) which makes it easy to lift and carry, but you'll find doorways a bit awkward to traverse whilst humping it around this way. Always vacuum thoroughly first, twice as many times as you think thorough is. Use a simple pump sprayer to apply a mixed prespray solution to the rug and agitate it (in a pinch you can use a clean broom, but a carpet rake or counter rotating brush made for carpet is ideal), fill the machine with ONLY clean hot water, make slow deliberate passes in straight lines and your primary goal should be pulling as much water BACK UP as possible, so dry passes until you're ready to keel over. If you shut off the machine and a bunch of dirty water dribbles out, you didn't get it very clean and you definitely didn't dry it enough.

I recently purchased the Bissell “Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine”, and let me tell you, it has exceeded all my expectations! This incredible carpet cleaning machine has completely transformed my once heavily soiled carpets, surpassing the cleaning performance of not one, not two, but three Hoover carpet cleaning machines I've previously owned. Here's why I can't stop raving about it: 1. Unparalleled Cleaning Power: The Bissell Big Green is a true powerhouse when it comes to removing stubborn dirt and grime from carpets. It effortlessly tackles high-traffic areas, stains, and even years of accumulated dirt with ease. I was genuinely amazed by the visible difference it made in just one cleaning session. 2. Deep Cleaning at Its Best: What sets the Bissell Big Green apart from other carpet cleaners is its ability to penetrate deep into the carpet fibers. It reaches where other machines have failed, extracting dirt, allergens, and pet hair that were seemingly impossible to get rid of. The end result is carpets that not only look visibly cleaner but also feel rejuvenated and refreshed. 3. User-Friendly Design: Despite its powerful performance, the Bissell Big Green is surprisingly easy to use. It features a simple, intuitive design that makes setup and operation a breeze. The large water tanks eliminate the need for frequent refills, allowing for uninterrupted cleaning sessions. Additionally, the long power cord and wide cleaning path make covering large areas a quick and efficient process. 4. Exceptional Build Quality: The construction of this machine is impressive. It feels sturdy and durable, ensuring that it will last for years to come. The cleaning brushes are robust and effectively agitate the carpet, while the powerful suction leaves no trace of residue behind. It's evident that Bissell has crafted this machine with longevity and reliability in mind. 5. Outstanding Value for Money: Investing in the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine is truly worth every penny. Its exceptional cleaning capabilities and durability make it a cost-effective solution for anyone seeking professional-grade carpet cleaning results at home. Not to mention, it saves you from the hassle and expenses of hiring professional carpet cleaners. In conclusion, the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine has completely transformed the state of my carpets, surpassing the performance of multiple Hoover carpet cleaning machines I've used in the past. Its unparalleled cleaning power, user-friendly design, exceptional build quality, and overall value for money make it an absolute game-changer. I wholeheartedly recommend this machine to anyone looking to restore the beauty and cleanliness of their carpets effortlessly. Trust me; you won't be disappointed!

Absolutely Fantastic - way better than the rentals from that other brand, and identical to the Bissell rental machines. I have waited a while to review this because since it was a high dollar item I wanted to thoroughly test and use it and see how it held up. With that said - this thing is a carpet cleaning brute! It has paid for itself many times over. Full size - just like the one you rent. Folds down easily to transport in an SUV. Light yet well built. Really heavy duty cord - which is an extension cord - So I have also used it for my vacuum and steam cleaner. Tanks empty easy. No assembly required.. Its ready to go out of the box. There is nothing about this not to love! I also bought the upholstery cleaning brush. I have used it at my home, my office, my moms home, even the rooms at a client's motel! I have also used the upholstery tool to do couches, office furniture, my mom's mattress (she is elderly and experienced some incontinence issues). The upholstery tool (NOT included but available separately) is also great for car and airplane headliners, carpets and seats. Recently we had flooding in the area and I even used it to suck up water before actually drying and then shampooing. I cant even express how handy it is to deal with messy mishaps, right then - without having to go rent. This thing has cleaned up everything from unwelcome pet "presents", to elderly incontinence mishaps, to vomit in a Cessna, to Chinese food that shot off the seat when I had to brake hard. (were talking Egg Foo Yong with that thick brown sauce and a quart of egg drop soup!). It turned a nasty dusty couch that sat in storage into something I was able to sell instead of to pay to have taken away. I have yet to find anything that this wont clean, and clean well. The solution (also not included) is available everywhere, is reasonably priced, smells great and has both Scotchgard and Febreeze. Super easy to use. Easy to clean. Compact to store and transport, and a cleaning powerhouse that will do everything from shampoo your carpets to detail your car. You cant go wrong and you can own it for the same price as just a few rentals would cost.

First .... remove all packing material. This machine was impressive on the first rug but it was crazy impressive on the second rug when I took the cardboard packing material out of the suction line. Seriously though ... it's worth every penny and it stores better than my out- going machine. I have rugs and then berber carpet in two rooms. The other machine cleaned pretty good but didn't have enough suction power to pull the moisture and dirt from deep in the fibers. My berber used to take half a day or longer to dry and that just made the dirty look come back faster. The suction of this machine let my carpets dry within 2 hours! With four dogs ... a quality machine is a must to clean my carpets. Wish I would have just bit the bullet long ago. Ive spent more than the cost of this machine buying other machines and renting other machines. No more!

I’m sharing my honest experience to help others understand what this machine is (and what it is not). Pros: • Not very heavy compared to larger commercial carpet cleaners • Easy to clean and maintain after use • Simple and intuitive to operate — no learning curve • Convenient for regular maintenance and light cleaning Cons: • This is not a truly professional-grade machine • Compatible cleaning solutions are mild and non-aggressive • It will not make your carpet look brand new — it refreshes and improves appearance, but does not deeply restore heavily worn or stained carpet Overall: This carpet cleaner is a good option for homeowners or light-use situations. It works well for refreshing carpets, removing surface dirt, and maintaining cleanliness between deeper professional cleanings. If you expect a commercial-level deep clean or dramatic transformation, this is not the right machine. But for ease of use, maintenance, and regular upkeep, it performs well.

Bought this 2 years ago, wanted to work with it for awhile before I reviewed it. We bought a house and inherited white area carpeting. What were those people thinking? Replacing it is pretty far down our list of planned improvements but we have a dog and you can guess my problem. I was paying a professional service more than $200 at least once every other month depending on the season and weather. Yikes! Bought this heavy duty machine and am DELIGHTED with the results. If you can vacuum you can operate this shampooer. You are washing the carpet not the pad underneath so some stains do ‘come back up’—thats When it’s time to shampoo again! I did make the mistake of emptying the waste water into my utility sink causing a clog somewhere down the way. My husband made me listen to our plumber lecture me on « household plumbing ecosystems.” Let me save you that pleasure: Empty that bin into the toilet and flush! The various formulations of bissell rug shampoo are fine, but when I run out this time I plan to try StainX rug shampoo, also available here, because it does a super duper job with laundry stains. I vacuum before shampoing AND after because if there is any dog hair still in the rug the machine pulls it up and rolls it into little clumps. Awesome! Clean then cleaner still! This process is not a time suck. All in all depending how many rooms and hallways I’m washing I never work beyond 1.5-2 hours. And once it’s all rinsed and dried the handle folds down and the whole thing stores easily at the bottom of a linen closet. For me and probably for you too it’s a great investment!

Great machine! Amazing how well it’s built. Lighter than expected. Simpler to use than expected. Functions at 10/10 score. The dirty water tank after rinsing looks brand new! They must have used some silicone compound to prevent dirt from sticking. The only thing was that the hose is extra $100. PS. After using it for about 10 minutes, I realized I hadn’t taken out cardboard piece where the suctioning is done. Despite that, the rugs looked amazingly cleaner—a testament to the power of this machine!

The BigGreen arrived a week after I had just washed the carpets using our old household carpet cleaner, so I thought I'd give it a try in our daughter's room. When I went to empty the BigGreen in the bath tub, I was amazed at how dirty our carpet was. While the BigGreen does an excellent job of cleaning our carpets, there are a few Pros and Cons to the BigGreen: Pro: - Tanks very easy to fill, empty, and clean - Brushes on the bottom very easy to remove and clean - Power cord can easily be changed (long yellow extension cord that is included with the BigGreen) - Handle folds down for easy storage - And of course, nice clean carpets Cons: - No accessories included. So, if you plan on cleaning your car or if you have carpets on your stairs, you will need to purchase the hose separately. - Heavy - I found it difficult to maneuver Okay if you are just going backwards and forwards, turning is difficult and sometimes feels like the whole thing is going to tip over (especially if the top tank is full and bottom one is empty). In conclusion, this is the same carpet cleaner you see available for rent at many retail stores. It does an excellent job of cleaning carpets, and is a very good investment for anyone who has pets or kids and want to keep their carpet clean. I've used this a number of times for those "accidents" on the carpet. Very easy to setup and put away.

Its a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. The commercial version is a little more powerful with better results on really ground in dirt. I realize I could rent one but i think it will pay for itself in no time. Its just a pain loading and unloading in my vehicle. Great product definitely worth it

I used my machine today and I am amazed how great it works. I used to own another brand before but there is no comparison. It is a bit heave but the pay off is that it really dries the carpet well. In a couple of hours my carpet was dry. Considering it is winter that is pretty impressive.

Very good product. Do not regret this purchase at all. I have been shopping for a while a finally decided to go for this model. Very robust, it is doing an awesome job on carpet, couch, sofa even with my winter jacket using the hand tool (big green commercial hose) sold separately. I saw the other residential options at the store and I do not regret to have chosen this commercial deep cleaning machine. Design is robust, simple to use and easy to maintain.
