Title: Might be okay if you live in the desert...
Product review: This is my second Bissell Proheat carpet cleaner. My previous model was made more poorly (cheap plastic parts, especially the water tank) and gave up the ghost after about two years of occasional use. I bought a new one expecting comparable performance. This machine has been re-engineered in some positive ways (sturdier water tank, easier to clean the intake area) but it totally lacks the suction necessary to get the water & soap out of the carpet. It seems like a waste of time and energy to scrub the carpet just to leave it soaking wet with dirty, soapy water. Plus, mold can easily grow within in the 2-3 days it takes to dry completely. I've talked to Bissell customer service about the inadequate suction; they told me the gaskets need a while to "settle in," but I've had it for several months and multiple uses now with no improvement. Needs major improvement!!
