How Does It Work?
The Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet cleaner is a lightweight and compact cleaner that is easy to carry around. If you have pets and live in a multi-story home, then you can imagine how unappealing it would be to carry a huge carpet cleaner up and down those stairs!
The Bissell TurboClean cleaner has a lot of features that will be quite attractive to pet owners. This product is especially useful if you have a pet that tends to urinate or take care of other business on your carpet! We’ll share a few of those features with you and let you decide if this is the right lightweight carpet cleaner for you.
Weight
Most rental carpet cleaners and other large carpet cleaners can weigh 25-pounds or even up to 50-pounds. The Bissell TurboClean is designed for households with pets and low-pile carpeting. It weighs only 12-pounds making it competitive with even regular vacuum cleaners.
The lightweight convenience of this carpet cleaner makes it easy to maneuver and carry around your house. It’s ideal for homes with steps and is easy to operate for those with limited mobility.
Cleaning Brushes
This Bissell carpet cleaner has a 4-row rotating DirtLifter PowerBrush. The brush scrubs stains and lifts dirt that is embedded deep within the carpet fibers. Powerful suction then lifts that dirt out of the carpet leaving behind a beautiful deep clean look.
The bristles on the brush bar are really stiff which helps ensure your carpet fibers are getting a lot of agitation during the cleaning process. Small edge brushes ensure you are able to clean the outer edges of the cleaning pathway.
Collapsible Handle
The handle on the Bissell cleaner is collapsible which allows the machine to be even more compact and fit into small spaces for storage when it is not in use. This carpet cleaner is roughly the same size as an upright vacuum cleaner and can be stored in similar spaces.
Dual Water Tank System
The Bissell cleaner includes two water tanks to keep clean water separated from dirty water. This ensures that you are not recirculating dirty water as you attempt to clean your carpets. The two water chambers are easy to lift out of the machine for cleaning and refilling. The water tanks have a ½-gallon water capacity.
Cleaning Path
This carpet cleaner has a 9.5-inch cleaning path allowing you to cover a lot of surface in a short amount of time. Edge sweep brushes ensure your baseboards and areas around your furniture are also covered during cleaning.
Removable Nozzle
The Bissell TurboClean carpet cleaner has a removable nozzle. This means cleanup is easy with a nozzle that can be detached and rinsed off at the sink before you put your carpet cleaner away.
Price and Warranty
The best feature of the Bissell Featherweight vacuum cleaner is the price. You can easily find this product for just over $100 and it even comes with a 1-year limited warranty!

Tips for Using the Bissell TurboClean Carpet Cleaner
Here are some guidelines for getting the best results with your Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet carpet cleaner.
Vacuum First
Before you do a wet clean of any carpet, you should first vacuum it thoroughly. This allows you to pick up most of the dirt and debris that is already loose on the floor from general walking around. Vacuum first and you will get better results out of your carpet cleaning!
Only Use Hot Tap Water
One of the downsides of this Bissell carpet cleaner is that it does not include a water heater. This means that the water used to clean your carpet is only as warm as the tap you poured it from!
The best recommendation is to use hot tap water that doesn’t exceed about 120-degrees. If you use water that is much hotter or even boiling, you risk damage to the water tank. This may even void the warranty from Bissell, so please don’t do this!
Drying Time
Be sure to allow your carpet enough time to dry before you start walking on it again. The best recommendation is to wait 2-4 hours before you step foot on any spot or areas you’ve cleaned. This will help keep your carpets looking like new for years to come.
Wrap Up
Do you have a pet that likes to run around outside in the dirt and then track it all over the inside of your house and on your carpet? Then you should really consider the Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet carpet cleaner. It has a lot of features to offer with its compact size, budget-friendly price and 1-year limited warranty. Let the Bissell TurboClean do the heavy dirt-lifting in your house!
