Bissell Powersteamer 1694

Bissell powersteamer 1694 is an upright deep carpet cleaner that features in a larger tank, wider (12 inch) rotating dirt-lifter powerbrush, decent motor and comes with a carpet cleaning solution of its own. Although the nozzle height might come in between your way if you have a lot of narrow corners or when trying glide it under beds for instance, otherwise the nozzle is pretty powerful and can cover a larger area thanks to the size anyway.

Below are the main hardware specifications...

*. Especially designed for cleaning carpets, upholstery and stairs.

*. 6.5 Amp motor.

*. Extension hose - 6ft.

*. Longer wire cord - 7.6 meters.

User Feedback Section

Thanks to the powerful rotating brushes and the formula it can remove both dust and stains from carpets, upholstery, etc. But make sure to check the brushes from time to time for stuck-ed fibers, etc (which is a common to all carpet cleaning machines anyway) also. They provide a measuring cup for mixing the chemical... so read the manual and use in the proper quantity.

While using it with the formula, the machine automatically goes over the surface with "just" brushes to get rid of dust and then applies the solution which enhances the overall process. It is a big looking product so will take some space while storing as well. The outer surface is made out of plastic and has moderate durability ratings as a result.

In places where the nozzle fails to get in use the upholstery tool. Although the weight can be a bit difficult to bear with (if you have to lift it often or so...) but when using on stairs the extension hose is pretty useful. Again remember if you have some deep carpet stains you'll have to go over them several times.

So if you have carpets (may not be the best for high traffic surfaces) to clean but can bear the weight + the bigger size, then the bissell powersteamer 1694 is a pretty decent product but cannot be recommended for heavy duty jobs.
