Think about it. Buying a carpet cleaner may be a very reasonable decision in the long run. It will get itself paid out in about a year, and you can use it any time you want. What you are left with is finding the right one. <\/p>\n

Thankfully, two Bissell BigGreen models have been on the receiving end of superb reviews online: the Bissell BigGreen Commercial BG10 and the Bissell Big Green 86T3 carpet cleaner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at what they can offer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overview of the models<\/h2>\n

Bissell BigGreen Commercial BG10<\/strong>
\nThis carpet cleaner is driven manually via an adjustable handle connected to its base. Although not particularly light, two well-oiled wheels at the back make it surprisingly maneuverable. The BG10 has two water tanks – one for the clean water and another for the dirty one. What it does is it sprays the carpet with water and solution and loosens the dirt with a rotating brush. Then it sucks the particles through a vacuum grille next to the brush. It has a 25-foot long power cord allowing for more efficient work and an adjustable handle for your comfort and storage ease. <\/p>\n

Bissell BigGreen 86T3<\/strong>
\nBissell has copied the design of the BG10, piling up a few extra features with the Bissell Big green 86T3<\/a>. The model is powered by two motors – one for the suction and another for the rotating brush. It covers the same surface area, but it must be noted that both models have about an inch of free space on either side of the brush. So, you have to be aware that the full cleaning does not occur from edge to edge. <\/p>\n

As an extra, Bissell has built this model with a hand-held cleaning tool option. It comes with a nine-foot-long hose which allows you to clean car upholstery, furniture and stairs. On top of that, the warranty of this model extends to five years. <\/p>\n

Design<\/h2>\n

Bissell BigGreen BG 10<\/strong>
\nThe Bissell designers have emphasized practicability over good looks with this carpet cleaner. It is big and bulky and looks rather un-maneuverable on the surface. But this is deceiving. It is supported by a trunk at the front and two big wheels at the back, and, we must say, this makes it extremely easy to direct. You are free to adjust the handle in accordance with your height and preference. It also folds inwards a bit to save space for storage. <\/p>\n

Bissell BigGreen 86T3<\/strong>
\nThe dimensions of this model are the same: 42” height, 20.5” depth and 11” width. Despite being 10 pounds heavier than its BG 10 brother, the extra weight does not affect the maneuverability. The bulkiness of the machine comes down, mostly, to its two large water tanks, which in truth is a good thing. This means you can keep the cleaner “On” for much longer between tank refills. It is also easily storable and comes with an extra hose for that tight and inaccessible spots.<\/p>\n

Verdict:<\/strong> Both models look unimpressive on the outside, but both are able to achieve maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort. They are very easy and comfortable to operate due to an adjustable handle which also folds inwards to reduce space. Both machines are packed with stickers with clear instructions on how to use and maintain. <\/p>\n

How it works<\/h2>\n

Bissell BigGreen BG 10<\/strong>
\nYou find a glaring press-button on the right-hand top side of the adjustable handle. By pressing it when the machine is moving forward, water mixed with shampoo\/solution is pushed deep down onto the carpet. <\/p>\n

Next, the rotating brush – powered by a separate motor – goes over the soaked spot until the dirt is loosened and sucked in through a powerful vacuum grille. This requires very little, if any, effort on the part of the user and works both as the machine is moving forward or backward. <\/p>\n

Bissell BigGreen 86T3<\/strong>
\nAbsolutely the same cleaning process applies to this model. What comes as an extra is a nine-foot-long hose that you plug into a port at the top of the machine and a six-inch spot cleaning tool to attach at the end of the hose. This is extremely handy to get to the spots where the bulky machine can’t. <\/p>\n

Not only that, but you have the option to go over a particularly stubborn dirty patch again. This extra function makes the BigGreen very versatile. <\/p>\n

Verdict:<\/strong> Both models occupy a top spot in the carpet cleaning market for a good reason. They work wonders with old and dirty carpets. The 86T3 offers the extra option of hand-cleaning via a long hose and a cleaning tool which allow you to tackle tight spots like furniture, stairs, and car upholstery. <\/p>\n\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
