I bought this Lightweight Carpet Cleaner with the hope of cleaning room by room of my home over time so that I wouldn’t have to pay Professional Carpet Cleaners to come in once a year to clean my carpets. We recently added an “indoor” puppy to our family too, so our carpets were really taking a beating. Both my husband and I are thoroughly impressed with the Bissell 2080. We knew buying a Bissell was a good decision, but we were a little skeptical that we might should have bought a more heavy duty cleaner, but every penny counts in our household. Using the 2080 to clean a room at a time per weekend is working GREAT! We did find that the sprayer didn’t meet our needs (puppy spots) – but we took the Bissell cleaning fluid, put it in a spray bottle, then sprayed everything! By the time we were finished spraying, we were ready to use the Powerbrush to run over the stains, scrub the solution and vacuum it up! The carpet looks like new — which is an accomplishment because we’re a family of 5 and that doesn’t include our 2 mature dogs and our puppy! I would definitely recommend this cleaner to anyone that needs to watch their budget but also wants a really good cleaning job!
Oh, one last thing, I read this in reviews before I purchased the 2080 and it is SO true — when you are vacuuming the cleaner out of the rug, GO SLOW!! If you go slow, you’ll vacuum up the maximum amount of liquid and your carpet will dry super quick! Good luck!

but,for the price, it rated 4 stars for me. So far, no leaking issues and the brush bar does rotate, as long as the front piece that holds the sucked up dirty liquid is replaced properly. If it is not, it leaks like a sieve and there is next to no suction. Regarding the time it takes for the carpet to dry, it really is not bad, if you just move slowly and give the machine a chance to suck up the liquid. If you move fast, much is left behind and it takes extra long to dry. Expect dissapointment if you want to get your whole house done in a day. The brush head is small and the machine is not very powerful, so for the cleaning to be effective you will need to take your time and make sure you get everything up. This machine is best for those without big stain problems and is best suited for those that clean their carpets with some regularity. If your carpet is trashed and really dirty, you need something bigger and more powerful (or professionals).

Very easy to use carpet cleaner for regular light maintenance. However, I was looking for a carpet cleaner to get out some traffic and light stain spots – some deep cleaning with a powerbrush – and this didn’t do the trick.
The “powerbrush” on this is a misnomer, as the brush rolls back + forth by…..you! no motor on it. not enough bristles on it to call it a brush. also misleading is “steamer” and “deep cleaner”.
The definite positives were that it’s extremely easy and even fun to use, seems very well-designed, and it’s terrific for light maintenance. 5 stars for all of that. Wish Bissell had advertised it as that so I wouldn’t be stuck having to return it.

Other, better options, which bring my rating from 3 down to 1 or 2:
I bought from amazon the McCulloch Steam Cleaner (mc1275, $100) and it ROCKS. zapped spots out with steam. obviously also great for hard floors and furniture, bathrooms, etc. carpets dried within 2 hours – this from a steamer without any suction.
Also sold here is the Hoover SteamVac JR which seems to have great suction.

pathetic
Had it for three years, used it three times. Then the mechanism controlling the solution release valve failed and it stopped releasing the solution when the switch was depressed…

The Only Deep Cleaner Vacuum for YOU!
I can speak volumes of this deep cleaner carpet cleaner from Bissell. I went on a limb and decided to purchase it based on the reviews.

Works like a champ
I recently purchased this to replace our Bissell Little Green Pro Heat Turbo carpet cleaner. The Little Green’s turbo brush stopped working after 3 years.

Great job!
I just purchased the bissell 2080 Quicksteamer. Let me say I am amazed. I thought I had a nice clean house. OMG! Was I wrong.
