This is the ONE

After a thorough search for opinions at many web sites, I came to the conclusion that the Bissell 9200 was the one to buy. There were very few low ratings by users, but these complaints turned out to be the users lack of experience and jumping to conclusions.

I thought initially that the cleaner was going to be too heavy to carry upstairs. But after opening the carton, I found several bottles of free cleaner that added considerably to the package weight. There was a special deal with BJ's warehouse club that included an additional 2-48oz samples of Natural Orange Cleaner, 2 bottles of Scotch Guard, 1 bottle of heavy stain remover. These freebees reduced the overall price by at least $25.

Assembly was simple. 4 screws to hold the handle together and secure the tool rack.

It's important to clean the dirty water tank thoroughly immediately after use. The solution and dirt will cloud the clear plastic. You need to be able to see the dirty water being vacuumed to determine your cleaning progress.

I highly recommend this product. Price paid $199.99.
