Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review: Lugging the vacuum cleaner up a flight of stairs becomes a virtually painless chore with Bissell's lightweight Quicksteamer Powerbrush II model. The upright 4-amp vacuum weighs just 12 pounds while still providing up deep-down carpet cleaning, eradicating pet hair, dirt and small objects with power. Using steam heat and Bissell's own DirtLifting brush technology, this cleaner is ideal for individuals looking for painless, yet thorough cleaning.

To use the carpet cleaner, users fill the 1/2-gallon tank with clean water and cleaning formula. At the push of the power button, the cleaner's brush uproots dirt from the carpet, lifting it up into the residue collection tank. The vacuum covers an 8-1/2-inch cleaning path. A removable nozzle enables flexibility while cleaning. Users maneuver the vacuum about the house with an ergonomically correct grip form minimal stress to wrists and hands. The vacuum cord spans a distance of 20 feet. Users assemble the cleaner by an easy two-step process. For the best success, read all enclosed material prior to use. The cleaner is covered by a one-year limited warranty. The vacuum measures 15-3/4 by 9 by 44-1/4 inches and weighs 18 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Bissell Quicksteamer Powerbrush II - A Great Deal *****

by C. Hammons 2007-03-11, 227 people found this review helpful

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!

Light weight and not especially powerful..

by Smiley1 2006-07-03, 95 people found this review helpful

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).

Quick Usage for Light Maintenance vs. Other Options

by L 2006-05-30, 115 people found this review helpful

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.

**updated**
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.

Item is smaller, lightweight and more versatile than the full size models. It is very easy to use on a small areas for quick clean up, and works well on large areas too. Very easy to clean when finished. I owned the larger model before, and I like this much better. It cleans just as well, except it has no hand tools.

OK, I'm officially surprised

by Alan Nitikman 2007-05-05, 26 people found this review helpful

This machine cost $89 on Amazon. A professional cleaning job for one room around here costs over $100 and they require furniture removal. As others have mentioned, it's not really a "steamer," since you fill it with the Bissell solution and hot tap water. I was prepared to be disappointed, but I had some spots that hadn't come out with spot cleaners that this machine sucked right out in one session. The suggestions to go slowly both for application and for sucking the moisture back out are spot on (well... spot out). It dried overnight. I don't know if it would remove difficult stains, but it removed dirt, food, juice, and grease stains I tried it out on, so I'm very satisfied. An 8-foot-square area took about 2/3 of a tank of solution, so it's probably not optimal for quick, large-area cleaning, but, for spot-cleaning, it does the job well.

better than expected

by Gary Gale 2006-10-09, 25 people found this review helpful

for traffic areas, or less than 1500 sq ft home, this is just great. cleans extremely well. made my 10 plus year old carpet look clean and fresh. if you do a large room or entire home, you will need to fill the solution chamber and empty the collection chamber often. but, this is very easy. the machine is very light, efficient and easy to use.

Great cleaner, but go slow.

by DST 2007-01-29, 23 people found this review helpful

Going slow is the key. You have to let the machine do the work. My only complaint is that it did leave tiny stripes on an oriental light-colored rug but I think that's more a matter of the extremly low and tight pile than the machine. I love the size and am able to get between furniture that I wouldn't be able to do with any of the larger machines. It even got under my coffee table. My only regret is that I wished I'd gotten the 2090, which has a hard-floor attachment (but since I could order the attachment directly from Bissell for the same $10 difference, I'm okay with it). I did a large bedroom and hall in a couple hours and was pleased with the results. It's amazing what it got out of areas I thought were already pretty clean. Next time I'll use their pretreatment formula for the hard-to-clean heavy-traffic areas. There is also a formula booster they sell, but I haven't tried it yet.

What an Amazing Cleaner!

by Maria 2005-11-01, 28 people found this review helpful

After buying this machine, I was very excited to take it home and give it a try. I was so impressed! I live in an appartment so it was great for my small living spaces and really worked well at cleaning new and old stains! I also really like the color and how easy it was to use! I was amazed by how light this machine was too! I was able to easily maneuver it around my apartment and had no difficulties with it being to bulky or hard to move around. It did the job perfectly and my carpets now look so clean and new!

Dynamite machine

by Wil's Mom 2006-07-06, 22 people found this review helpful

I have a large Bissell steamer but was tired of lugging it around, bending to turn the dial to wash or rinse and trying to clean the debris out with a long stick. Chose this machine because of it's size and ease of operation. Is my cleaner of choice now. Quick fill and empty. No automatic rinse but doesn't appear to build up soap. Brush and cover is easy to take apart, clean and put back. Foot pedals for on and off and handle release. Works well.

Clean, fresh carpet is just a few hours away!

I ordered this item from bestbuy.com, and have used it once so far. It cleaned my carpet pretty well - no more hair and gunk left and it even smells better! Some really stubborn stains didn't come out, but it did help remove most of them. You can actually see the dirt come out when you empty the dirty water tank. In fact, this machine worked so well that all the gunk and dirt it took out of my carpet effectively clogged my drain as I tried to clean it out in my sink - So, word of caution, you may want to empty the dirty water in a toilet bowl and flush it down. Also, when cleaning out the hair that caughts in the rotating brush, you may want to first remove the dirty water tank, b/c when you tip the cleaner to get to the brush, the dirty water may leak all over your freshly cleaned carpet.

Overall, great machine - just follow my above instructions. :)
