Bissell Spot Lifter

Bissell spot lifter is a hand held deep carpet cleaner (the 2x 1719 specific model) which is especially built to remove stains and spills. Although as a general way of speaking it is said to be a carpet cleaner (which it is ...) but it can also be used on other materials such as couch, rugs, stairs, etc as well. If you want a more conventional looking (and very powerful too) utility, then you may be interested in something like this oreck steam cleaner which does a similar job but bigger in size.

Anyway, the spot lifter does not have any wire cords and is powered by a battery.

Here are the main hardware specifications first...

*. When fully charged it can last up to 15 minutes (this is the continues usage limit, so when using in real situations it will last longer than this - more on that later...).

*. Can be used on carpets, upholstery and stairs especially.

*. The battery uses 9.6 Volts.

*. Has a wide looking cleaning nozzle which is approximately 7 inches. Not only it removes stains and dirt but at the same time sucks the dirty water, etc into the inner cup as well.

*. They recommend that before using it for the first time you'll have to put it into charging for about 24 hours and then afterward it still requires about 12 hours.

*. It looks small but still they've included two tanks in it. One for the dirty water and the other for both clean water + the cleaning solution (tank capacity 12 ounces).

*. Has an inbuilt carrying handle as well.

*. The cleaning solution included is called the - Little green advanced cleaning formula.

*. Weight is about 2.8 kg.

*. Has a one year limited warranty.

When removing the stains, first make sure to spray the chemical into the carpets and then push the button to start the spot lifter's scrub power brush to do the rest. And as a general reminder - remember this is a stain remover, not the usual carpet, rug or a floor cleaner by any means. And as a tip, when trying to suck the dirty water, try to angle the unit to get the maximum results.

Sometimes you will have to go few times over some "arrogant" stains or spots but again remember this is a cheap utility and make no mistake, it does remove stains but the not the most powerful one either. The cleaning solution is very cheap and can be found in general stores without much of a hassle too.

The vacuum and the brush rotations may not be the most powerful of all but for a cheap price and a light weight, the bissell spot lifter DO have the ability to help you get rid of your stains nonetheless. Can be highly recommended.
