Operations
Special FeaturesYour BISSELL® washer is a home cleaning system that uses a combination of warm tap water, BISSELL cleaning formula, brush agitation and suction to safely clean carpets.
DirtLifter PowerbrushThe DirtLifter PowerBrush is designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern safely lifts out dirt while gently grooming carpet fibers. The floating suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights. When the power is ON and the machine is in the upright position, your carpet is protected because the brush is elevated above the carpet (take care if long fibre carpet or mats are in proximity).
ReadyTools DialThe ReadyTools feature allows you to choose between FLOOR CLEANING or cleaning with TOOLS simply by turning the dial. The TOOLS setting allows for above floor cleaning of upholstery, stairs, creases along baseboards, and other hard-to-reach areas. Simply choose the tool that is appropriate for the job, attach to flex hose, and you are ready to go.
