Do I need a carpet cleaner? No, but am I going to watch this video? Absolutely

I really do appreciate the heights this man goes to in order to provide the best review for these vacuums. I love doing this deep of an analysis and researching when I purchase a lot of things, so it saves so much time to have a professional do this. Thank you so much Vacuum Wars, you are a necessity for me lol.

Didn’t think I needed one. Grabbed up the bissell hydro steam anyways ….
I’m obsessed with cleaning things with it now. Example : cleaning carpets until it ran clean.
The dirty water bucket did indeed assure me that I was WRONG. I needed it.

Thank you for all of your had work and dedication to your craft, it is greatly appreciated!!!

[poogeasaurus]

You’re better than consumer reports. I wish everything was this thorough!!!

I have the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam and I’ve been very happy with it. It’s been able to remove stains my old one could never. But it will absolutely chug through its water supply very quickly. But I suppose that’s what you sacrifice for the steam function. Definitely my favorite cleaning tool I use. I even purchased the Bissell Little Green HydroSteam to go along with it. They are an unmatched cleaning duo.

I had my Big Green for over a decade before I decided to upgrade to the newer black model (the Big Green Pet Pro) with the more ergonomically friendly unified handle.

Unlike most of these flimsy, consumer-grade machines, the Big Green is a commercial grade machine that you can repair whenever necessary.

I will always own a Big Green for as long Bissell continues to manufacture it. And given their increasing market share in the rental market, it will probably be available for the foreseeable future.

Excellent video. I was looking hard at the Bissell Hydro steam. I decided to research one more time and ran into this video. Now I'm debating on getting your overall pick the Shark CarpetXpert. It looks like it might be the winner. It will definitely save me money.

It would be really helpful if all the test data can be shown somewhere, instead of only the top fews for each metrics. I guess people sometimes would like to checkout all the data for a specfic model. Thanks.

Thank you for the hard work this took. I know this had to be a LOT of not only time and effort but also money. I really appreciate it!

I’ve been watching you for 5 years like to say thank you! For the information based of vacuums and carpet cleaner and robot vacuums man! Keep up the good work 👍✌🏻

[Bokehmo]

Another great video! I just had a small request. In your future vacuum reviews, can you mention or at least take into account vacuum head width in your rankings? What I've found with several cordless vacuums is that the cheaper vacuums tend to have smaller widths and that leads to a lot more back and forth motion when actually using the vacuum.

I watched this video while standing in the store today. LOL Wound up getting the Shark EX200 for $220. Only did one hallway but worked better than I was hoping for. Thanks for the review!

Glad to see the shark tested with the same solution as everything else. Still so wary after buying a Shark vacuum though; performance is adequate, but parts support is abysmal. Purchased it 2 years ago and the battery has been out of stock the entire time. Mine didn't go bad, but when doing a deep clean I can't finish the whole house on a single charge. Been considering getting a Dyson because they are least have the batteries for it in stock.

A fine video and a great discussion. Nice comparisons! My favorite comment on here: "Do I need a carpet cleaner? No, but am I going to watch this video? Absolutely" Nicely done ethanol1586!

Just wanted to say I really needed to buy one as I was sick of running to Lowe’s and grabbing the big green and paying 35 bucks a rental so I thought might as well buy something that gets good reviews here that’ll cost the same as a few rentals at Lowe’s. I did end up getting the shark carpet expert ex120 which I don’t think is much different than the ex121 and I didn’t need a hose because I already have a spot cleaner. I am very happy with the results. My water was nice and brown (ew), even after running through a second time with just water. It’s actually pretty easy to use although I did use his idea and mix up a bunch of solution so I don’t have to keep measuring and adding detergent each fill. I’m usually used to being able to control the spray instead of it automatically spring when you go forward, but it does have a switch to choose to just suction.

As engineer, thank you. Beautiful data and what I want to see when I search “best carpet cleaner.”Can’t upvote enough.

[MaryB_TN]

I recently got the Kenmore. So glad to see it is one of your top picks! I wasn't sure when I bought it. Now I know I made a good investment

[Jaquaivismacintosh]

I have the red rug doctor and not once has it failed in the 3 years that I’ve owned it. Dog urine, everything. I really recommend

How's about best cleaning solution, regardless of machine?
