As someone starting a cleaning company I found while testing out different carpet cleaners over months the Bissell Big Green the best bang for your buck. Not only is it cheaper it is also far superior to models at the same price and you are right on with your analysis in comparing the two.
I suggest you to read Amazon review coments on Bisell big green
@@mulzceo I have read them but reading them and experiencing is two separate things plus they have high reviews so yeah we are using it now to test out different scenarios and yeah this machine is a great one for starting out.
@@mulzceo plus I'm only going to be using it for the first year or so til we can afford one that is higher end that will last longer but still use it as a backup if the main one breaks down and needs repairs
Have you tried the rug doctor pro? Compared to the big green?
I need to clean my carpet today and now I know which one to use. Thank you for a great and informative review!
*Update* I used Bissel and my carpet looks amazing. It pulled out so many stains and my carpet is several shades lighter. I definitely recommend it
im buy on amazon today
I have had my bissel for two years and it works great!
This is great information and very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Cleaning my carpets tomorrow.
Exactly what I needed, leaving a comment for the CZcams algorithm
I canât speak to the cleaning quality of the two, but the Rug Doctor is more durable. I used to work for Lowes and we switched our rentals from Rug Doctor to Bissell around 2010. The Bissells constantly break, everything about them is cheap plastic that breaks. Yes, the Bissell is more convenient with its removable tanks, but thatâs also what makes them more fragile. The Rug Doctors very rarely has broken pieces.
Every Rug Doctor around here is "out of order". The only ones still working are the Bissells.
This was very helpful! Thanks!
Bought the Big Green 7 yrs ago and can't recommend it for
longevity. At the end of the 2 yr warranty period, the clean solution tank
began to leak. At first, just a small leak running down the back of the vac.
But by year 4, a small river that I had to mop off the hardwood when cleaning
the area rug that also wasted a lot of cleaning solution. A year ago, the motor
started making clanking noises, then electrical burning smell. No more Big
Green. So, 6 yrs use out of it. Which may sound like a long time, but it was
used in one house every 2-3 mos to clean an area rug + 1 pc of upholstered
furniture. A commercial grade vac ought to last longer than that. When it
worked, it did a good job, but the leaking in year 3 dimmed my enthusiasm for
the BG. After a similar experience w/ a Pet Pro (not working after only 3
uses!), going to try Rug Dr. I used to rent RD; they clean well, but not sure
on the longevity issue.
Big Green the King of Clean.

Look up Gene kim
@Squid's Vacuums to the team for a few I think I am not to
I love my big greeen. Rugs upstairs, upholstery furniture, cars and 3 children with a dog. This thing works magic for me.
That is great!
Trust me. And yes I am biased for the Rug Doctor. You are comparing apples to oranges. 1st, just look at the clean water tank for Bissel, it is tiny, very tiny. Rug Doctor's Wide Track has a 3 1/2 gallon holding tank and a 8 gallon dirty water tank. Bissel is much smaller. That means you have to fill and dump much more frequently. Now, for the roller brush. Rug Doctor does indeed have a roller brush. It looks a lot like the Bissel. If you wanted to do a side by side comparison, why didn't you use this machine? It is called the PDC. And, it is crap. All the roller brush does is collect the dirt and hair and wrap it around the spindle. When you have a lite weight machine that is small and made mostly of plastic, you will have to sacrifice something. Which is: The Vacuum motor. The Bissel uses a really small vacuum motor made of mostly plastic. The Rug Doctor's in an all metal, with aluminum vacuum blades. This gives you more lifting power. You'll never convince me that the Bissel vacuum is much better. It would be like comparing a Yugo to an Audi or BMW.
Wow ty for sharing. There was another reviewer who did a review on the rug dr and endorsed the big green more. He also recommended the revolution too by Bissell.
Iâm googling the following:
Tineco carpet one and iCarpet
Bissell big green
Rug doctor pro deep commercial
Iâm prob going to have to rent the latter two to compare.
I got a Big Green to replace my old ProHeat 2x. It blows it away in every way possible. It deep cleans better, it sucks way more water from carpets, every plastic piece is commercial grade, the rear wheels have rubber tread, and it's capacity for clean and dirty water is great for large houses. I only have the tiniest of complaints about it, like the power button being behind the top handle. I never get used to that! The hose must be stored somewhere because the machine can't hold it. That's really it. They are very small drawbacks compared to how great this thing is at cleaning and how long it will last compared to a supermarket cleaner.
I e had the same experience with both these machines. On my way nownto purchase a Big Green! So excited! Tired of renting them! Thanks for the vid. Just wanted to clarify my already known opinion from my past experiences with both machines:)
I used the bissel and it cleaned atleast % of my carpet to factory new. did a great job and recommend renting at lowes for $35 a day
If possible can you tell me what carpet cleaner has the better motor for suction? Or what one has more suction? The Rug doctor or the Bissell big green machine.
So glad I watched this before renting. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I recently purchased a Big Green for home use. Great product, easy to operate. Carpet dries really fast!
Great to hear!
Thank you so much for this video. Was debating on which one to get and the thorough comparison and detailed explanation of each product really helped
You're very welcome!
Thanks for that. Now I know which one to rent.
Curious to the brand of cleaning fluid used. Update. I used the Bissell and it was awesome. It saved the carpet literally lol. One thing tho, if you rent the attachment hose make sure u really check it before u leave. Mine was previously broken and glued back on. As soon as i tried it snapped and i noticed dried glue on the crack. The Ace Hardware i rented it from didn't give me trouble once i explained it but just keep an eye out.
Yeah great very great!
I've used the Rug Doctor for twenty years and the Bissell Big Green once. Rug Doctor: cleans well, a bit awkward to use, attachments not easy to install or use, changing/adding new solution cumbersome. Bissell Big Green: cleans better with back and forth motion, much easier to add new solution or get rid of dirty solution, easier to take apart and assemble, about the same to maneuver, more difficult to hear when out of solution, easy to attach hand held attachment.
Great video!!! Thank you!!!! Bissell it is!!!
What carpet cleaning solution did you use?
Please do the review on the Hoover react upright vacuum and cordless vacuum in the future.
I have used both. The Rug Dr handle reclines also! So that comparison isnât accurate.
Both cleaned good. I use whichever has a coupon to apply lol đ
Great info,much obliged đ.
Our pleasure!
I wonder what the difference is between the Bissell big green and the big green commercial version
Great vid. Commenting for the algo. Thanks
Could you use the Bissell Big Green machine for a carpet cleaning business? Or is it meant more for home use?
How is it with packed in dirt and sand?
Other reviews have said you're instructed to use hot tap water only rather than boiling water. My questions: Does the water stay hot enough? How do you clean the brush head since you've been pulling dirt through it?
Wow thank you.
Welcome!
Big green all the way!
I own the big green and have used the rug doctor also. The big green is just such a more easy to use machine and you can go back and forth instead of more like a âsqueegeeâ type method of the rug doctor. The rug doctors short handle hurts my back too
This is such a major advantage knowing this. I have a rug doctor spot clean for pet stains b/c it has the most powerful suction on the market. The main drawback is you canât really go back and forth when cleaning. You can but itâs tough cuz itâs not meant to be used that way however it cleans better that way.
Iâm looking for equal sucking power of that if not better in an upright though. I was drawn to what my neighbor has (pro heat 2x revolution but reviews say it leaks and runs hot requiring cool down periods). The Tineco carpet one def appeals to me especially if it will do what it says. I also was checking out the rug dr pro deep but i def donât like that it weighs 40lbs and now learning it only cleans when you pull it towards you. Thatâs a major downside for me. Plus you have to go super slow and it takes awhile to dry supposedly. The thing that killed it for me besides the weight factor and the vibrating brush is that i canât clean back and forth with it⊠this just saved me $649. Thx for sharing
very good video. thank you again
Thank you too!
I spray the carpet extraction chemical using a garden sprayer. Then I scrub using a oreck orbiter. The longer the dwell time the better soil is broken up. Then rinse with my 13 gallon heated extractor.
That's some pro gear
now that's what i am talking about! Pre-clean, scrub then neutralize.
I have bought the Big Green Bissell 7.5 years ago for my cleaning business, it did and still does the job like new. Only one it had to go for repair. Definitely recommend to anyone this machine !!!
glad to hear about the longevity of the Big Green. I tried testing different carpet cleaners and liked it the best just didn't know how they worked long term so this comment is helpful knowing it can last a while.
I just bought one on Amazon ($329.99) $120 cheaper than I could get it at Lowe's ... I'm sure I will be much satisfied ... Thanks for the video ..

Wow!!...............

czcams.com/video/BYtO7iPlb5c/video.html
Wow that was a good deal. Currently on amazon itâs $411 for the pro, or $449 for the commercial one.
Thank you you sold me on the Bissell. I like the that the brush will scrub in both directions
Which one puts out more fluid
The bissle hose conection is plasric easly breaks.
Is that pro x3 model
I own the vessel I love it
This exact model Bissell Big Green Machine
Got to redo it with the rug Dr Pro that does forward an reverse
The bissell is only better then the original rug doctor because the rug doctor wide track was invented in the 1900âs and had the original vibrating brush, but the bissell big green was a newer model and had a spinning brush, so itâs obviously better. But I would love to see the rug doctor pro deep vs the bissell big green because it has more suction power then the wide track and it also has a spinning brush.
Please test upholstery attachments. That is 50% of the use when I rent a machine. Owned a BG; it did well on carpet, but the Rug Doctors had better suction with the upholstery attachment.
Lotta 1 star review for the Bissell on Amazon..
I don't know why this was in my recommended, but, I enjoyed it
nice!
Vacuum wars have you guys seen the dirt devil enhance carpet washer and do you plan to try it out
I havent seen that one, Ill look it up.
What cleaners do you use in the bissell?
I think I was using the standard solution from Bissell. Not extra strength or anything.
I do prefer the Bissell hands down.
Same
Rug dr pro vs big green, please
I usually clean with a 50:50 vinegar/water rather than a store bought solution. Have you tried the big green with that?
How is the outcome? Clean?
could you test the dyson dc 33 seems good a cheaper way to get a dyson i hope it clean just as well as the ball animal 2
Daniel da Boss They donât clean as well as the newer Dysons but are still quite good machines, still

Iâm looking into buying a new carpet cleaner. This one is in my list along with two others one is Hoover power scrub deluxe n itâs red, the other is Bissell ProHeat 2x revolutionary pet pro, itâs purple and green. Our back doir was left open n a mouse got in. I need a shampooer that gets right to the edge of the woodwork n the one we have doesnât. I want the best of course but I need it to get to the edge n also if your a tool to get closer I donât mind buying it extra but it has to have good suction to get it clean. Iâm very OCD and never have mice issues. So itâs a must I get it shampooed to perfection. Thank you for a quick response. Easier than watching 20 diff videos from people n searching through them. Thanks again.
Is it true that you should NOT use hot water in the Bissell Big Green. That hot water will dissolve the glue (flow indicator) that holds the 2 half's together and you will spring a leak at the top of the vacuum and no water will come out where it should anymore.
Best not to use hot water anyway. I made that mistake and after cleaning a patch where my cat had peed, I noticed the hot water had faded the dyes in the carpet slightly. It was good quality carpet too. Warm water is fine, maybe 30C or something
Thanks for this review. Yes, it was helpful, however, you didnt mention the large price difference between the two. Another reason to choose Bissell. Someone else mentioned renting a Bissell. I hope we can learn where we can rent one as that would be a perfect way testing it out for yourself. I'm already familiar with Rug Doctor. You can rent those at just about any large supermarket.
you can rent the Bissel at Lowes!
Lowes and ace hardware rent out big green.
I got Big Green after had Rug Doctor for years ... Big Green do much better job than Rug Doctor no matter what I'll never buy Rug Doctor again.
perfect. no notes.
Thank you!!! I loved my rug doctor but my ex kept it in the divorce đ So now I want one better one I can purchase on my own and this really helped. What and how do you feel about going into rental business in this area?
Big Green đ„°đ„°
What do you recommend for start a cleaning companie?
A commercial carpet cleaner.
I miss the old rug doctor. You didnât have to schlep the entire machine around. It had a separate head, like a canister vac does
ugh i rented the rug doctor for the last 24 hrs and cleaned all of my rugs, i got lots of grime out of them but wish I had gone to lowes instead o HD for the bissel! Next time. I had no idea that the rug doctor didn't have a spinning brush. They are cleaner than they were, but after 3 passes dirt was still coming out, i think the bissell would have done a better job. And my rugs are still damp, i extracted as much as I could but I feel like it didn't extract that well.
What would happen if you tried to push the rugdoctor forward
It digs in, not an option unfortunately.
Vacuum Wars what's the difference between the bissell big green professional version 86T3 and the commercial version BG10
Vacuum Wars on the newer machines, I believe this is an option, however they (surprisingly) do not have the vibrating brush.
I have a cleaning company and I'm not sure about buying Bissell Big Green or Bissell ProHeat, could you give me a suggestion?
Bissell ProHeat last for about 6 months and then it dies
I've gone through three of them in the past year and a half
It worked great at first but after a month they start showing signs of a slow death
I'll never purchase Bissell again
This time I purchase The Rug Doctor
Just do to my track history with Bissell carpet cleaner
mattie carter seriously?i just thought to buy bissell procleaner
Big Green is clearly did a lot better, video at 0:40
Youâre supposed to call it âBig daddy greenâ from now on
You should probably redo this but including the new Pro Deep Cleaner that Rug Doctor came out with around a year ago as of typing this. đ€
Just saw a video on it, seems like they have improved everything that he did not like. But it was discontinued..
So the ProHeat 2x is for sure better than the Big Green? I would think that Bissel would limit the performance of their cheaper models to give incentive to upgrade to the Big Green.
Well It is and it isnt, when you consider build quality and water tank size etc the Bissell Big Green is the winner. Their performance was very close, almost identical in the end.
Thanks for the reply!
@@VacuumWars I'm thinking, while I'm working on my friends Bissell as we speak, and due to the fact I've repaired and tossed 3 Bissell machines in 4 years, that if I stay with Bissell, I'll go with the Big Green. It, at one time, had a 5 year warranty. Even if they have changed to 3 years, I'd go with Big Green. Unless there is something they have done to the latest model to make it more reliable.
You got me there. Sorry Dr. Rug. I'll invest on Bissell by owning it.
How long does the carpet take to dry with the Big Green Bissell?
About half an hour. I bought one recently and love it.
If you were going to start a carpet cleaning buisness could you use the Bissell or could you suggest another unit?
Yes multiple people on you tube use it as part of there business, not solely
So here is the best cleaning combo:
1. Vacuum with Kirby
2. Apply a commercial Pre-Spray (I get mine from Jon Don)
3. Agitage Pre-Spray with Kirby shampooer, leave foam mix out so you are not putting foam down, you are just using the Kirby to agitate. You will be amazed what comes out of your carpet!
4. Extract with Bissell Big Green with water only.
This removes all detergent and leaves no residue!
no neutralizer after, just the water and suck? The Big Green is a lot cheaper than a large heated extractor ($2500).
@@larryseibold4287 Yes, I have added a rinse agent. The Kirby works until I can afford a crb.
Owned by the same company?
I've had an expensive carpet cleaner ($225) and an inexpensive one ($60). My inexpensive one performs every bit as well as the expensive one and has lasted longer. They even have the same size tanks and my inexpensive one is so much lighter and easier to use. Renting is nice but for $60? Just buy one.
What brand?
Both too big for me. On those hand tools, I'd say the one with the most concentrated suction would be best at removing wet spills because the technique I like for that is pouring water or solution on the spill will sucking it up with the tool. This is how I have seen the professionals do it and it's a technique that seems to work well - if the machine has lots of concentrated suction at the tool.
the big green solution tub looks tiny. I hate having to refill every few minutes.
Yep. Rug Doctor is basically a lemon.
They have the new rug doctor Pro deep cleaner that oneâs better than the big green
Oh really? I wish I had known that. Dang.
Rug Doctor
The rug doctor is my favorite carpet cleaners how can you keep saying Bissell does better than rug doctors
Heâs wrong about the clean water tank the Bissell has a bigger water tank
Why not just call a reputable cleaning company? no way anyone cleans their home with one of these
Jeff Kondra I have vinyl flooring everywhere in the house except in a small room so hiring a cleaning service wouldnât be worth the cost. You can rent these for 30 dollars and save hundreds.
do you realize how much soap is still left in the floor? By the time you add the rental, cost of cleaner, time,,, its not worth it. Wish ya the best. Glad it works for you
@@bustex1
@@princevillekauainorthshore736 I use to clean carpets. You are correct about it leaving soap or solution in the carpet. But someone who does use one of these. They can always pretreat the area. Then run straight water in the machine. Or they could use solution in the machine and run back over with just water in the machine.
If you have pets, more than 3 people inside and carpets everywhere, you'd actually be better off buying a commercial grade machine. It will last for a long time and clean carpets so good that visiters may think you replaced your carpets.
My machine cost $32k. There is a reason to call a professional cleaner.
