I was recently given a complimentary use of the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine, in exchange for this review. All opinions, and nasty carpet pictures, are completely mine.
I have a terrible confession to make: in over six years living in our home, we’ve never cleaned our carpets. For over four years, they’ve been riddled with little kid grime; yet, we somehow just never got around to getting the carpets cleaned, even though it was always on our long list of things to do. *sigh*
I digress.
When I was approached with an opportunity to try out the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine in my home for a trial period, my husband and I both eagerly jumped at the chance! Tanya from Fizz Word of Mouth Marketing dropped it off, and that very weekend, we got to cleaning!
Well, actually, I was putting the kids down for their naps, and my husband took over the carpet cleaning duties. To be honest, I never got to even TOUCH the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine during the entire trial period — my husband was in. the. zone. So, to be perfectly clear, this review is really a second-hand account of HIS use of the machine. But I assure you, it was an incredible experience. 😉
The Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine proved to be light weight, even when full of the sloshy water and cleaning fluid. I’m not sure if you were supposed to vacuum the carpets before hand -remember, my husband took control and you know men and directions…. In any case, we didn’t, but the dirt was just effortlessly pulled away from our carpets, rugs, stairs (all three flights!), and couches.
The day we did this, it was overcast outside (imagine that, during this summer in Atlanta!), so it was difficult to get great pictures contrasting the clean and dirty carpets. But I managed to capture a few, mainly the rugs in our den. First, my husband did the big one, so I put the runner OVER it afterwards, for comparison purposes. You can clearly see the difference! This is in a super-high traffic area, but those filthy rugs didn’t stand a chance against the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine!
With enthusiasm -and the “help” of our daughter, dressed as Princess Merida- we tackled the whole house: all the carpet upstairs (including four bedrooms and a super long hallway), all the downstairs rugs, our carpeted dining room and formal living room, the finished basement (half carpeted), as well as front stair case, back stair case, and the basement stairs.
All in all, each time we poured that nasty water tank in to the laundry room sink, we were assured that we were successfully lifting the grime out of our house. Okay, and we were equally disgusted with the level of filth we’ve been walking upon, and our KIDS had been playing in! With each dumping of the water tank, we felt a little -um- relief knowing that the grimy layer of disgust was literally going down the drain and OUT OF OUR HOUSE!

I would love to use it in my children’s bedrooms
There are only three rooms with carpet in our house- all bedrooms. I would love to clean those carpets, especially my son’s play room!!!
I would love to use this everywhere, but especially the master bedroom.
Love to tackle the basement!!!!
I would clean the living room. It is a wreck. We had my daughter’s birthday party a week ago and a kid tracked ketchup through it. UGH!
Ketchup!? AAACK!!
Well, at least it wasn’t that daggum “catsup”. 😉
my living room. upstairs hallway and middle daughter’s room
Our stairs…two children, our dog and two adults go up and down all day long. And it’s been muddy.
We spend most of our time in the living room. I hate all the dirt spots apparently only I can see.
I need to tackle my den! Kid and pet stains galore!
YES!!!! Someone else with four years worth of yuck in their carpets! I’m so glad you shared your gross water pics too, mine were disgusting, lol! I’m not alone! 🙂 The Big Green REALLY does make a HUGE difference!
I NEED to win this so that I can give into my OCD tendencies and also prove to my husband that my current steam cleaner isn’t getting it all…. Meaning that I need to purchase a new one!! 😉
I want this for my office and bedrooms!
My poor TV room. White carpet….what was I thinking?
Definitely the living room!
I’d love to use it on the “great room” which is where almost all the action happens in the house.
I’d like tackle my daughter’s room
the master bedroom could use a deep clean
Bathrooms need a cleaning. Yup, we have carpet in our bathrooms. Arg! Someday, we will do a bathroom remodel and get rid of that.
spare bedroom definitely needs it.
This sounds like as great piece of equipment.
my bedroom needs it.
The Living Room!!!!
My dining room carpet needs to be cleaned something serious! We’ve been in our new place since June, but before we got a dining room table, it was a free-for-all carpet area for four kids, spilled drinks, thrown food, you name it. And sippy-cup drips. *sigh*
I’d love to do one of the kid bedrooms.
