Amazon.com Review Dirt is a normal part of a carpet's everyday wear and tear--but that dirt can get ground deep into a rug's fibers every time it's walked on, damaging them permanently. Portable, lightweight, and easy to use, the Bissell PowerLifter PowerBrush Upright Deep Cleaner protects and extends carpet life by removing deep-down grit and stains, using just hot tap water, deep-cleaning detergent, and its four-row rotating DirtLifter PowerBrush. Carpets are left clean, odor-free, even gently groomed for a polished look. The PowerLifter's user-friendly design includes thoughtful touches like a comfortable handle, quick-release cord hooks, a lint screen, and easy-to-maneuver wheels, as well as a built-in measuring cup and a removable nozzle for quick clean up. In addition, the unit's two-in-one water-tank system features a heavy-duty bladder inside for clean water, which empties and mixes with the cleaning formula during operation. The dirty water that gets pulled out of the carpets collects around the outside of the bladder, which means the clean and dirty water never mix. The unit's wide cleaning path covers more ground in less time, while the 20-foot power cord spares users from unplugging and re-plugging when cleaning larger rooms. The PowerLifter is not a steam-cleaning machine, so don't expect the same results that steam can deliver. It is, however, an inexpensive alternative to professional cleaning, without the hassle and expense of carting a rental machine back and forth. The unit comes with a 16-ounce bottle of Fiber Cleansing Formula and a dual-purpose Scotchgard-enhanced detergent that both deep-cleans carpet and protects it from future dirt and stains. The 12 amp full-size upright deep cleaner measures 19 by 11 by 44 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty. --Mary Park

Most helpful customer reviews 74 of 78 people found the following review helpful. Why Pay More? By dream factory Bissell has proven itself the leader in carpet cleaning systems for years. So I ran out to rent a carpet cleaner which we needed immediately due to a monster spill. All the rentals were rented out! + It costs $$ to rent. + And who knows whats left over in those machines. So I made the decision to buy one to have in just such an emergency. Great decision. Why buy an expensive Bissell for over $250 when this 1622 Powerlifter Powerbrush can do everything they can. It's got the brushes it's got the power. The only real difference between those models is that they heat up the water for you. Well can't you just pour hot water into the resevoir? Yes you can. And away we go. I made this wise economic puchase some months ago. This machine has proven itself reliable strong and able time after time. The ultimate weapon for all sorts of messes.. . . . .. And yes it cleans alot better that the store rental units. Oh and by the way we did try that little green machine cleaner. For-get-aboudit. 20 of 20 people found the following review helpful. very pleased By D. Montano I rely on this little cleaner to keep up with pet stains. I could not be happier. It cleans, it picks up the water nicely, it's quiet and it's an inexpensive option. The water container is easy to operate, it sits right down with a tight seal, it's easy to carry. This is a very nicely designed, inexpensive cleaner. 31 of 34 people found the following review helpful. Good cleaner - as long as you don't have dirty carpets! By Ann McCann After three cleanings of two area rugs - I wash them once a month, the nozzles that squirt cleaning solution plugged up. Checking the internet we found that clogged nozzles are a common complaint - and not at all easy to unplug. We called the Bissell company, who put us through some tests (have a screwdriver handy when you call the customer service line!) and recommended we take it to a local repairman.The Bissell- recommended repair person quoted me $89.95 to clean the machine and get it running again. Cleaning and belts are not covered under Bissell's warranty - making the warranty effectively useless. I had had a Bissell with a heater and an upholstery brush that lasted several years. I had hoped that the machine would be more durable without the heater - but I guess not. Now we're in a quandary over what to buy the next time, and I'm depressed over buying a rug cleaner that would only work for three times on two 5x8 area rugs! See all 23 customer reviews...
