I concluded that it was a handy tool for spot-cleaning fresh stains on carpets and soft furnishing. It was pleasing to see that the Oxygen Boost hadn’t bleached any colour from my fabric sofa cushions. It’s only when completely dry that you can truly see the results. If you take the Bissell back and forth over the wetted carpet or soft furnishing several times, vacuuming up the dirty liquid, then the area is left only slightly damp to the touch. But this machine really is designed for tackling new spills rather than ingrained stains. I also wanted there to be a row of stiff bristles at the front of the cleaning head: it would be good to scrub away at stubborn stains if you need to. I used two tanks full just to clean a rug thoroughly. You’ll go through 200ml of liquid in less time than the 20-minute battery life. The frustrating thing is the low capacity. The results smell nice but not overpowering. I also liked the subtle smell of the cleaning products. That said, there was still hard-to-lift pet hair left on the carpet. And you can see a fair amount of hair – human and pet – wrapped around the brushbar. You can see how very much dirt has been lifted. The state of the filthy water it collects is impressive. The tank that collects dirty water pops off for easy emptying. It could, however, lift enough pet stains and mud that it no longer looks like it needs to go in a skip… So it made quick work of spilled drinks but couldn’t make my tired doormat look like it was brand new. Performance-wise, I found it great at picking up fresh messes but so-so at ingrained dirt. I have a dog, two cats and a dozen rescue hens, so I was well placed to test it. You don’t have to mechanically pump it, you can just hold the button down and the machine sprays the stain for as long as you like. You can turn off the brushbar to save power. It came as a surprise that the machine needs to be turned on and vacuuming for the spray to work at all. The visual instructions make it clear that it’s designed to use on horizontal surfaces or pointed uphill, never downhill or sideways. Use the Bissell to spray the stain from slightly above, then pull the machine backwards slowly over the stain, or backwards and forwards, with the motorised brushbar on (it rotates at up to 2,000rpm). Ideally, vacuum the floor first to pick up loose dirt. The 200ml reservoir pops off and has a fill hole that’s big enough to be filled under a tap. The sample bottle has a small cap though, so it’s not as easy to measure out the 15ml as it would be with a large bottle. The machine’s visual instructions suggest using 15ml of Oxygen Boost, filling up to a line with tap water and then topping up with Pet Stain & Odour. These products are the ones recommended for use but you could presumably experiment with other carpet wash liquids. A litre of Oxygen Boost costs £14.99 at the time of writing and 1 litre of Pet Stain & Odour carpet cleaner costs £12.99. If you love the cleaning products, note that they’re pricey. It comes with mini (236ml) bottles of two cleaning products to try: Oxygen Boost and Pet Stain & Odour. It’s as easy to grab it as it would be to reach for a roll of kitchen towel. The good news is that its cordless convenience makes this easy. The capacity of 200ml and 20-minute battery life aren’t huge, and there’s a long charge time of “less than 4.5 hours”, so it’s best used for little stains when you spot them, not an every-stain-in-the-house cleaning blitz. I noted that it uses a 10V charger, rather than a USB cable. The Pet Stain Eraser arrives ready to use and was quick to unpack. At 2kg, it’s half the weight of Bissell’s previous cordless handhelds. And it’s Bissell’s first mini cleaner designed specifically for pet stains. Most rival handhelds just have a brush you scrub with, not a rotating power brush. You spray the stain then a power brush lifts it and a vacuum sucks it up into the second tank. It boasts two tanks: one for water and detergent, one for the dirty water it lifts. This cordless cleaner is designed for removing small stains from carpets and soft furnishing.
