I bought this machine in hopes of being able to clean my carpets without the hassle of renting a machine or paying someone to clean my carpets. What I got was a machine that completed two rooms, then quit working. By the time, I would have paid for the labor and the parts to repair it, the cost of the machine would have doubled. I'm giving it to a friend that likes to tinker. Maybe he will have better luck with it. I could have had my whole house cleaned twice by a professional for the price of repairing the machine. However, when the machine did work, it did an excellent job. For the kind of money you are paying for a machine, it should be dependable for a much longer period of time. In the future, I will cross the Bissell name off of my shopping list.
