Amazon.com Review
Traditional vacuums handle dust and dirt, but some spots and stains call for more rigorous measures. The Bissell Spotlifter Powerbrush deep cleaner targets just such problems with powerful rotating brushes and a tank of cleaning solution. During operation, continuous suction ensures that surfaces don't get too wet and that dirt and stains are sucked up quickly and efficiently. The machine includes a manual spray trigger, so you can decide how much solution to use depending on the surface and the damage. The Spotlifter is a fairly maneuverable appliance--about the same to handle as the average large hand vacuum. Filling and emptying the separate clean and dirty water tanks is notably simple--they just slide off the back end of the machine one at a time. The brush roll cartridge is also removable for easy upkeep or replacement of the brushes. The cleaner comes with an 8-ounce starter bottle of Little Green Cleaning Solution. Bissell also includes a circuit interrupting safety device and a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Summary: This machine is a wast or your money 2008-11-16
Comment: This machine is one of the worst purchases I have ever made! It has barely any suction. My stairs took forever to dry! I eventually had to break out my upright and use the attachment to reclean my stairs one by one because they were so matted and crusty feeling from the left over detergent and such. Not a fun experience. Giving the unit the BFD that maybe it could have been user error, I tried it one more time. This time I no sooner turned it on and it began to smell funny, like the belt was burning. Well I was right something was burning alright, but it wasn't my belt. It was the brush cartridge that literally melted and fell apart in my hand! After my husband looked it over and over he determined it was nothing I had done to cause it. Completely random. So there you have it folks. The Spot Lifter experience...a whole 2...count them...one, two...uses! So if you have one, return it, sell it to an ememy, give it to your nasty minded neighbor, whatever. Just get rid of it. For those who want one...JUST SAY NO! It is not worth the time, money or headache. Cheers.

Summary: Unbelievable efficacy! cleaned red wine, cat urine, vomit and more! 2008-11-08
Comment: I am currently wanting to buy an upright machine as effective as this handheld. The operator of this machine must know to tilt the machine to create the sucking action, if you leave it flat there is no seal created between the front suction piece and the carpet. But I never had a problem with lack of suction. My only complaint is that I am petite 5'1 with small hands and this makes it difficult to grasp the back reservoir tank for pull out/removal so I would wait for my husband to get to it. But I used this machine about three times a week for 4 yrs now and have loved it. My brushes are finally so full of hair and crap that I need to take them and really clean them but this machine takes a beating and gives you your old carpet back. the only stain that it has not completely cleared is a coffee stain on my white carpet that sat for a few days before I got to it. So it was my fault. The machine is loud but very effective.

Summary: A great investment! 2008-08-09
Comment: I bought a spotlifter about two weeks ago. Some mysterious spots had been appearing around our dining table. We weren't sure if they were coming from our dog or what. They looked like drops of coffee and they weren't coming up when we sprayed them with cleaner and scrubbed them by hand. The spotlifter easily took care of them, and now that area of the carpet looks like new. I also brought the spotlifter up to my wife's office and cleaned a large area where a client had spilled a coke. Again, the stain came out to our satisfaction. The suction is powerful and so are the brushes. The machine is easy to take apart and clean. I do wish that the tank for the cleaning solution was bigger. I usually have to fill it up several times when I'm working, but I also tend to clean larger areas than what this thing was designed for. I strongly recommend this product.

Summary: DON'T BUY THIS 2008-07-13
Comment: This product did not work at all. no suction whatsoever. it's basically only good for scrubbing a stain, afterwards you have to mop up the soap and grime with a sponge. don't waste your money.

Summary: no suction = no value do not buy 2008-06-25
Comment: I bought one of these based solely on the bissel name. I needed to clean some upholstery and did no product research. I unpacked the system and gave it a try. After spraying the solution on I got no solution sucked back up. As an experiment I saturated a cushion to see how much it would return (expecting something at least) the collection tank was still bone dry. I returned it and will look at other products.
