VIDEO REVIEW **Big Green vs. SteamVac** By Noname Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2R5A7ME53LBRR Considering this Big Green is supposed to be a professional grade carpet cleaner, I expected it to be better than my trusty old Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge, F5914-900. The question really is whether or not the Big Green cleans so much better that it's worth the price. I tested it on an old carpet remnant we've had sitting out in the garage for more than ten years. It has never been vacuumed nor steam cleaned until today. On the left of the screen is my new Big Green. The center is preserved for the "before" comparison. The right is my SteamVac. As you can see, there is an obvious difference in cleaning capabilities. I actually gave my SteamVac an extra whirl because it looked so dirty, but it still looks dirty compared to the Big Green side. It's hard to tell from the video, but the dark color you see from the SteamVac side is not wetness. The darkness is actually a more muddied appearance, as if the SteamVac had added water to dirt. I've owned quite a few carpet cleaners and I can say, this Big Green really is the best. Not just because it cleans carpets better. There are many other advantages: 1) The power cord is extra long. I can reach all up and down my long hallway in one stretch. My SteamVac requires me to plug and unplug. 2) The solution tank is extra large. It requires two capfuls of solution, but that will last a long time before needing to be refilled. 3) The collection tank is likewise huge. 4) The hose is long, with a wide head and good suction. It reaches almost up to the first landing of the stairway in my house. 5) Quick drying time. Of course, there are a few drawbacks: 1) Even with the large solution and collection tanks empty, this thing is *heavy*. It requires me to push and pull with both hands -- a real workout. If you have a bad back, this may not be for you. Also, I'm not keen on carrying this upstairs. 2) There is no convenient storage for the hose. SUMMARY AND OTHER THOUGHTS I like my SteamVac. Until now, it was my favorite carpet cleaner, but it's no match for the Big Green. I love Big Green. It's the best carpet cleaner I've ever had. My husband even noticed the cleaner carpets, and he's not one who'd normally care. If you really want clean carpets, buy this one. P.S. If you're like me and just take the things out without checking all, there is a bottle of solution and some cardboard inside the collection tank. I cleaned my entire hallway and didn't know until I went to empty the tank. D'oh! No harm done, though. 33 of 34 people found the following review helpful. "My new favorite toy!" By CodeMaster Talon So declares my Dad about this Bissell carpet cleaner. It is so rare for an appliance to be beautifully designed and work perfectly that I hardly know what to think about the results I got with this machine. My home is the ultimate test for a carpet cleaner: A lot people live here, the weather is rainy, conditions extremely muddy, and nature comes up right to our door. Before using this machine, we've had our carpets cleaned twice at this location and innumerable times before that and at other residences, all with uninspiring success. Commercial carpet cleaners can take days to thoroughly dry out, leave strong chemical smells behind them (or the pungent odor of wet animal hair), are cumbersome and noisy, and clean up is a chore. How did the Bissel stack up? SET UP A breeze. The instructions are clear and the machine itself so well designed I feel confident anyone could figure this out. The cleaning solution is supplied and for our mid-sized apartment we used approximately half the bottle. The machine is light (comparatively), easy to push around (actually kind of fun), and put together in an almost lego-like fashion, using compartments that lock and unlock with gratifying simplicity.
