Hi, all! I got mine yesterday at Wal-Mart for $143 and change. (I had a regular Bissell steamer, but a part broke, and it didn't switch from suds to rinse.) I used it this morning on living room traffic paths, and the two smaller bedrooms, likewise. This evening, I moved furniture to the clean areas in the living room and steamed the rest. If you need a steamer, this one looks pretty good! The sample bottle of special pet carpet solution smells delightful, too. Btw, I paid $249 for my first Bissell about 15 years ago.
Thanks
Just read on another bb that another dachsie mom has had one for a few years, and spends about $60 a year on service - new belts and a thorough clean-out. She has 2 dachsies and a 4-year old with lung issues and says hers gets a workout. I never had my old Bissell serviced, so that's good to know!
