"No review will suffice," said one thrilled shopper. "I have had it for a few months now and I could plug it in right now and it would work just as well as the day it came out of the box. ... We previously tried a friend's carpet cleaner to fix my husband's headliner after a light leak in his truck and all hers did was spread the stain out. It was no match for my Bissell. Same for the used SUV I bought about a month ago. My machine was pulling what looked like chocolate milk from the carpets."
