On our list of favorite contraptions!

This is on our top 10 list of coolest contraptions we've purchased since we got married (2004)! We were very impressed with how much crud this thing pulled out of our carpet!

Our cats have yacked furballs that have left slight discolorations on the carpet that the Bissell 9400 eradicated with ease. Our boy cat had a urinary tract infection earlier this spring that (short story) resulted in bloody, urine-stained footprints on my light beige carpet, and I am happy to report that these easily came up as well! We were VERY impressed!

It was especially important to us to get our carpet thoroughly cleaned since our baby has become mobile. She has been contributing to the "crud issue" at mealtimes by dropping food over the edge of her high chair tray (our dining room is carpeted). The Bissell tackled these issues with no problem.

I like how nicely the machine's brushes fluff the carpet pile. I love that the machine automatically mixes the appropriate amount of shampoo and water for different situations (high traffic vs. light traffic). I think the machine is significantly quieter than Rug Doctors we have rented in the past. In fact, I was able to use the device while my little one napped upstairs. I look forward to trying out the hard floor and hand attachments soon.

You can't go wrong with his cleaner!
