Editorial Review:
Spot Lifter, Power Brush, Corded Hand Held Extractor, 18' Power Cord For Continuous Cleaning, Motorized Dual Brush Roll For Double Cleaning Action, Powerful Spray & Suction Clean & Help Dry In 1 Step, Quick & Easy To Use, Uses #499 Little Green Cleaning Formula.
Traditional vacuums handle dust and dirt, but some spots and stains call for more rigorous measures. The Bissell Spotlifter Powerbrush deep cleaner targets just such problems with powerful rotating brushes and a tank of cleaning solution. During operation, continuous suction ensures that surfaces don't get too wet and that dirt and stains are sucked up quickly and efficiently. The machine includes a manual spray trigger, so you can decide how much solution to use depending on the surface and the damage.
The Spotlifter is a fairly maneuverable appliance--about the same to handle as the average large hand vacuum. Filling and emptying the separate clean and dirty water tanks is notably simple--they just slide off the back end of the machine one at a time. The brush roll cartridge is also removable for easy upkeep or replacement of the brushes. The cleaner comes with an 8-ounce starter bottle of Little Green Cleaning Solution. Bissell also includes a circuit interrupting safety device and a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Does What It Says:
I've owned my 1716 Spotlifter for about 6 years and decided to purchase one as a gift for a friend. We both do rescue and have anywhere from 6 to 8 cats in the house at any given time. I have been very pleased with my Spotlifter, so was quite surprised at some of the reviews I read. My Spotlifter is the purrfect tool for quick cleanups before the stain sets in. I own a Little Green and the Pro Heat as well, and I am always surprised at how well this little gadget really does work. Yes, you do have... more info
This machine is a wast or your money:
This machine is one of the worst purchases I have ever made! It has barely any suction. My stairs took forever to dry! I eventually had to break out my upright and use the attachment to reclean my stairs one by one because they were so matted and crusty feeling from the left over detergent and such. Not a fun experience. Giving the unit the BFD that maybe it could have been user error, I tried it one more time. This time I no sooner turned it on and it began to smell funny, like the belt was burning. Well I... more info
Unbelievable efficacy! cleaned red wine, cat urine, vomit and more!:
I am currently wanting to buy an upright machine as effective as this handheld. The operator of this machine must know to tilt the machine to create the sucking action, if you leave it flat there is no seal created between the front suction piece and the carpet. But I never had a problem with lack of suction. My only complaint is that I am petite 5'1 with small hands and this makes it difficult to grasp the back reservoir tank for pull out/removal so I would wait for my husband to get to it. But I used this... more info
A great investment!:
I bought a spotlifter about two weeks ago. Some mysterious spots had been appearing around our dining table. We weren't sure if they were coming from our dog or what. They looked like drops of coffee and they weren't coming up when we sprayed them with cleaner and scrubbed them by hand. The spotlifter easily took care of them, and now that area of the carpet looks like new. I also brought the spotlifter up to my wife's office and cleaned a large area where a client had spilled a coke. Again, the stain came... more info
