Those who rate the carpet washer three stars or less have done so because they feel it’s difficult to get into the corners, it leaves clumps of carpet fibres and doesn’t easily lift old stains. HOW DOES IT RATE AGAINST OTHER BISSELL CLEANERS?

BISSELL's lightest upright carpet cleaner at 5.6kg is perfect for smaller households who want a more regular deep clean. The compact design mean limited storage is no longer a problem. Carpet cleaners are great to have around but most people don’t need to use them on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. As a result, they can seem like an expensive luxury. If that’s a problem, the Bissell PowerClean is a good option to consider, because it’s an affordable model that doesn’t compromise on basic cleaning ability. The above is similar to how the majority of carpet cleaners work, but the Vax Platinum SmartWash Carpet Cleaner makes life easier still, using auto dosing of the cleaning detergent. The Bissell ProHeat comes with a whole arsenal of handy features which make it superior to the Bissell Powerclean in my eyes. It has a spotclean function to pre-treat stains, three different cleaning modes, one of which leaves carpets dry in just 30 minutes, plus it has upholstery and stair cleaning attachments, which mean you can clean almost all the fabric surfaces in your home. Whilst I waited for the living room carpet to dry, I moved on to the hall. Again, this had several old stains on both the carpet and the matching hallway rug. I had used all of the included bottle of formula on the living room, but fortunately I had a large bottle of the same formula, in the cupboard, for use with our current carpet cleaner.Two–Tank System– Keeps clean and dirty water separated for superb cleaning results, and they are easy to empty and refill using the red carry handles.

Motorized DeepReach PowerBrushes– Delivers a deep clean, washing away stubborn dirt and stains that a vacuum usually leaves behind. Once your carpets are looking like new, emptying and maintaining the Bissell PowerClean is straightforward – simply remove the carpet brush roll and nozzle, empty the dirty water from the tank and rinse both thoroughly, before drying and reattaching.There are some areas of the machine that are hard to clean, such as some inlets on the bottom of the machine. These were full of a mix of sand, carpet fibres and cat hair and the only way I could clean them properly was by scraping it out using a butter knife. My other Bissell carpet cleaner comes with a handy tool which you can slide into hard-to-reach places for machine maintenance. It would be great if this machine had one included too. The box also contains a 236ml bottle of Bissell Wash & Protect Pro Stain & Odour carpet cleaning solution, which you use in a ratio of 1:50 with warm water. The cleaner got through more water and solution than the Bissell HydroWave in our tests, so you may end up spending more on cleaning solution in the long term.

The Bissell Powerclean 2889E Series comes with four rows of motorised “DeepReach PowerBrushes”, which are said to aid in double the amount of cleaning power versus Bissell’s previous light weight carpet washer. The two-tank system ensures that dirty and clean water are kept separate, so floors are always cleaned with a mix of fresh water and formula. STORING Bissell provides a 1.9-litre water tank for dirty water. On an average clean, then, you’ll need to empty and clean this dirty tank a few times for each fresh-water/detergent tank. Thankfully, the process of removing the tank and emptying its contents is easy enough.

The instructions give a helpful guide on how to clean and replace all the removeable fixtures of the machine. They also show how to replace the motor belt if that snaps. There is additional advice on the effective use of the carpet washer in the safety booklet, including how best to store the machine and warning not to clean the tanks in the dishwasher.
