How to Choose the Best Carpet Clean Machine

A carpet clean machine can aid in the removal of tough stains and dirt, without waiting for your floors to dry. It is recommended to choose machines that have large capacities of both clean and dirty water tanks. This allows you to clean longer without needing to refill.

The Tineco iCarpet was super easy to set up and comes with an iPhone-sized screen that talks you through the process and informs you when it's time for a change of tanks. It was quiet and worked well in our tests.

1. BISSELL Big Green

This carpet cleaner machine from Bissell is one of the best rated available. It's a professional-grade carpet cleaner, designed for large areas of residential and commercial carpet. Its build is so good that it is used in rental fleets across the nation. This says a lot about its reliability and durability. It also receives excellent reviews from customers on both Amazon and Bissell's website usually getting 4.8 or 5 out of 5.

This powerful carpet cleaner will make your carpets look like new. It uses rotating brushes that lift dirt from carpet before pumping and spraying it away. It's a great choice for deep cleaning large areas of carpet and is also a great option for pet accidents and stains as well. It's a very robust machine that will last for many years to come.

One of the major differences between this and other commercial carpet cleaners is that it comes with two motors that are used for the vacuum and brush. It allows each feature to work independently, and gives you greater power overall. It comes with a handle that tilts outwards from the base, making it more convenient to use.

The machine also has large capacity tanks that can handle clean and dirty water. This means fewer trips to the sink to refill, and it ensures that you get the most out of the cleaning solution. It also has an easy flow indicator that will notify you of the time you need to refill.

The Big Green comes with several useful tools including a Stain Tool to remove those tough stains, and a 9-foot length of upholstery hose. It's designed to be simple to use, which means you can clean your carpets without putting in an enormous amount of effort.

This carpet cleaner comes with the full-size BISSELL Oxy Multi-Purpose Solution that helps get rid of pet stains and smells. It's a great method to keep your carpets looking and smelling like new and is also safe to use on the most delicate of carpets.

2. Hoover ONEPWR

This Hoover ONEPWR wet/dry utility Kilgone Robot Vacuum Mop Combo - WiFi Alexa is part of the Hoover ONEPWR line, which uses interchangeable batteries that are compatible with 9 high-end products. It also features an easy-to-clean hose that can be used to clean carpeted stairs and other difficult to reach areas. Its ONEPWR Lithium Ion battery provides fade-free runtime of up to 45 minutes for ultimate grab-and-go cordless convenience and its dual tank system keeps dirty and clean water separate so it's easy to switch between tasks.

This model's dirt compartment is quite spacious for a handheld device, and its transparent plastic lets you to quickly gauge how much space remains. It has an onboard storage rack that fits the crevice cleaner. This is an excellent tool for cleaning small spaces and corners.

It can easily handle large, bulky debris like cereal and rice. In our testing it also handled pet hair as well as coarse, similar to sand, fairly well on low-pile carpet. We observed that the performance of the vacuum decreased as dirt accumulated in its dirt compartment and it was unable to clear carpeted stairs of sand.

Despite its compact size it comes with a powerful multi-purpose tool kit and onboard storage to help you tackle messes of all sizes. It performs well on bare flooring, and is able to handle small, difficult-to-clean debris. It does a good work on rugs with a low pile, but we observed that its performance declined when the dirt compartment grew full.

This model is a multi-functional, lightweight handheld with an impressive performance on floors that are not bare. Its slim design makes it easy to carry around and its ONEPWR Lithium Ion batteries offer the longest run time and are quick to recharge. Its only real flaw is that it's not packed with extra features and the dirt container can be difficult to open. However, this handheld is still a great option for those who want an affordable portable power tool that has an eye on floors that are bare and wet mess. Unlike the iRobot H1, which we looked at in the same manner the battery on this model can be swapped with other ONEPWR tools, making it easier to increase its capabilities or locate replacement batteries.

3. Numatic George

George is Numatic's version of an upright Kilgone Robot Vacuum Mop Combo - WiFi Alexa cleaner that is able to also wet EICOBOT Robot Vacuum Cleaner: Powerful 2200Pa Suction and shampoo carpet. It's a significant leap up from the standard Henry, costing PS100 more, and using the same features we love about the standard model - its quality and power - but adding a shampoo facility.

It's a clever machine that does an excellent job of cleaning hard floors. It does this by segregating dirty water from clean and unlike traditional mopping where the same dirty water is swathed around with the cleaned surface, this could help to reduce bacteria and allergies that are often linked to this process. It is a great tool of cleaning carpets as well. It's a dry-only vacuum that can separate the clean from the dirty. With a long cable, good quality shampooing and a capacity to work in both modes it's a great option for allergy sufferers.

The shampooing system works by releasing detergent into the carpet, which is mixed with water and then suctioned up again to be extracted. It is not as fast as the standard carpet shampooer but you can make your own cleaning supplies instead of purchasing a specific cleaner. It's not as loud as a standard carpet cleaner, reaching the maximum of 61 decibels when it's in the shampooing mode which is similar to a conversation or air conditioning unit.

As with all Numatic machines there are many accessories that come with George. This includes the Dual Scrub Floor Tool that's ideal to remove those pesky staining and marks that appear on your floors. There's also an Wash Kit that is perfect for cleaning and revitalizing your sofas and carpets.

George's biggest drawback is that it requires a good amount of strength to move it around. With the long pipe and wand and a powerful suction, it is tiring on the arms and shoulders. It takes some time to switch from the vacuum to the wet function, as the nozzles and tank have to be taken out each time.

4. Bissell ProHeat

Carpet cleaners are a handy tool for those who would like to take their normal cleaning routine up a notch particularly when it comes to getting the odors and stains off their flooring. But even the most powerful machines will leave behind a hint of a stench. If you're not a fan the scent of freshly cleaned carpets it's a good idea to look into purchasing a model with an integrated deodorizer.

The Bissell ProHeat deodorizes your carpet with its cleaning solution. It makes use of its brushes to scrub dirt and grime. The ProHeat is the most expensive carpet cleaner we tested, but it's also the most efficient, and we discovered that it had better results than most of the other cleaners we tried.

It can clean any type of flooring, but is recommended for heavily soiled carpet. It also removed pet messes more effectively than any other carpet cleaner we tested. And it did not resoil as quickly as other products.

The ProHeat is similar to most carpet cleaners in that it has two tanks, one for water and the other for cleaning solution. It's important to make sure the tank that holds your dirty water is filled with hot water prior to when you begin using it as the warm water helps to prevent clogs and maintain the proper temperatures for better cleaning.

Before you use the ProHeat prior to using the ProHeat, you should vacuum the area you're planning to clean first. Pretreating stains will make them easier to remove using the ProHeat. A cleaner that is based on enzymes is great for stains caused by protein, while a product based on oxygen bleach can get rid of pet stains.

SmartMix technology from ProHeat automatically adjusts formula and water amounts to meet your cleaning needs. It has three modes to select from: heavy traffic for the dirtiest areas, normal for lightly dirty carpets, and a water rinse that doesn't spray any cleaner on your carpet. It's paired with our Advanced Pro MAX clean + protect formula, our most powerful solution for hard, ground-in dirt and staining.
