Overview

The Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine (Model 86T3) is not your average carpet cleaner. Engineered with powerful technology and built for durability, it’s designed to deliver a deep clean that rivals, and even surpasses, the leading rental units. This isn’t just about surface-level cleaning; it’s about extracting the deep-down dirt, allergens, and pet dander that can compromise the air quality and overall hygiene of your home. Whether you’re battling pet stains, ground-in dirt, or simply want to refresh your carpets, the Bissell Big Green provides the power and versatility to get the job done right, restoring your carpets to their former glory.

Design Philosophy - Bringing Professional Cleaning Power Home

Bissell’s design philosophy for the Big Green centers around empowering homeowners to achieve truly deep cleaning results without the hassle or expense of professional services, or the inconvenience of renting equipment. The Big Green achieves this by incorporating features and technologies typically found in commercial-grade equipment into a user-friendly design. The robust construction, powerful motor, large tank capacity, and specialized attachments all speak to a commitment to performance and durability. This allows users to tackle large areas and tough stains with confidence, knowing they have the power of a professional-grade machine at their fingertips.

Outcleans the Leading Rental - The Science of Superior Cleaning

The Bissell Big Green’s claim of outcleaning the leading rental units isn’t just marketing hype. It’s rooted in the machine’s superior engineering, specifically its powerful motor and innovative brush system. While many rental units offer adequate cleaning, the Big Green takes it a step further.

• Powerful 12-Amp Motor: At its core, the Big Green boasts a robust 12-amp motor. In the realm of carpet cleaners, amperage directly correlates with the power available for both suction and brush agitation. A higher amperage, like the Big Green’s 12 amps, translates to more powerful suction to extract dirt and water, as well as more vigorous brushing action to dislodge embedded grime. Many rental units and standard home models have less powerful motors. The power rating of the motor is also higher than many other home-use machines. It directly reflects the machine’s ability to perform heavy-duty tasks.
• Deep Cleaning Mechanism: The Big Green cleaner utilizes a comprehensive cleaning process. Firstly, it sprays a mixture of hot water and cleaning solution deep into the carpet fibers. This is followed by the action of the XL DirtLifter PowerBrush, which actively agitates the carpet pile. Finally, the powerful suction mechanism efficiently extracts the dirty water and debris.

XL DirtLifter PowerBrush - Agitation for a Deeper Clean

The heart of the Big Green’s cleaning prowess lies in its XL DirtLifter PowerBrush. This isn’t your ordinary brush roll. It features eight rows of strategically designed bristles that penetrate deep into carpet fibers.

• The Importance of Agitation: Effective carpet cleaning isn’t just about suction; it requires mechanical agitation to loosen dirt. Think of it like scrubbing a stain by hand – the physical action helps to break down and lift the dirt. The DirtLifter PowerBrush excels at this. Its bristles work in a coordinated manner to scrub each fiber from multiple angles, mimicking the thoroughness of professional cleaning techniques. Many users report that this brush is far more effective than the simpler brush rolls found on many home-use carpet cleaners.
• Optimizing Cleaning: The eight rows of bristles on the XL DirtLifter PowerBrush are strategically positioned and designed to maximize contact with the carpet fibers. This ensures thorough agitation and loosening of dirt and debris with each pass.

Powerful Suction - Extracting Dirt and Moisture for Faster Drying

A powerful motor and an effective brush are only half the equation. The Bissell Big Green excels at extracting the dirty water and cleaning solution, leaving your carpets cleaner and drier.

• The Physics of Suction: The 12-amp motor generates powerful suction. This suction power is crucial for removing the loosened dirt and moisture from the carpet. Strong suction not only removes visible dirt but also helps to extract allergens, pet dander, and other microscopic particles that can affect indoor air quality.
• Faster Drying Times: Efficient water extraction translates to faster drying times. Unlike some carpet cleaners that leave carpets soaking wet, the Big Green’s powerful suction pulls out a significant amount of moisture, reducing the risk of mildew or odors and allowing you to enjoy your freshly cleaned carpets sooner. As observed by many users, carpets cleaned with the Big Green often dry within a few hours, significantly faster than with some rental units or less powerful home models. A common complaint about some carpet cleaners is that they leave carpets too wet; the Big Green addresses this issue effectively.

Two Large Tanks - Uninterrupted Cleaning Power

One of the most frustrating aspects of using some carpet cleaners is the constant need to stop and refill the clean water tank or empty the dirty water tank. The Bissell Big Green addresses this issue with its two large-capacity tanks, each holding 1.75 gallons.

• Maximized Cleaning Time: With a 1.75-gallon clean water tank, you can cover substantial areas without frequent refills. Similarly, the large dirty water tank minimizes interruptions for emptying. This is a significant advantage, especially when cleaning multiple rooms or large spaces. User reviews often highlight the convenience of these large tanks, contrasting them with the smaller tanks found on many competing models.
• The Importance of Separation: Keeping the clean and dirty water separate is crucial for effective cleaning. This prevents the re-application of dirty water to your carpets, ensuring a truly hygienic clean. It’s a design feature that distinguishes professional-grade machines, and the Big Green incorporates it flawlessly. The two-tank system is frequently praised in user feedback for its effectiveness and hygiene.

Versatile Cleaning with Hose and Stain Tool - Beyond Just Floors

The Bissell Big Green’s cleaning capabilities extend beyond just your floors. The included 9-foot hose and 6-inch Tough Stain Tool provide the versatility to tackle stairs, upholstery, and other hard-to-reach areas, making it a comprehensive cleaning solution for your entire home.

• Targeted Stain Removal: The 6-inch Tough Stain Tool is specifically designed for focused cleaning. Its compact size and powerful suction make it ideal for removing stubborn stains on upholstery, car interiors, or small areas of carpet. The tool allows you to apply concentrated cleaning power exactly where it’s needed, whether it’s a pet accident, a spilled drink, or ground-in dirt. Users often report success in removing old, set-in stains with this tool.
• Extended Reach: The 9-foot hose provides ample reach, allowing you to clean stairs, drapes, or even ceiling corners without having to move the main unit. This flexibility is a significant advantage over many standard carpet cleaners, which are often limited to floor cleaning only. This feature is particularly appreciated by users with multi-story homes or those who want to clean hard-to-reach areas.

Adjustable Handle - Ergonomic Design for Comfortable Cleaning

Cleaning shouldn’t be a back-breaking chore. The Bissell Big Green features an adjustable handle that allows you to customize the height for optimal comfort, regardless of your height.

• Prioritizing User Comfort: The adjustable handle ensures that users of different heights can maintain a comfortable posture while cleaning. This reduces strain on the back and shoulders, making the cleaning process less tiring. It’s a thoughtful design feature that enhances the overall user experience and demonstrates Bissell’s attention to detail. Many users, especially those who are taller or shorter than average, specifically mention the adjustable handle as a major plus.

BISSELL PRO MAX Clean + Protect Formula - Chemistry for a Superior Clean

While the Big Green’s powerful hardware is essential, the cleaning formula you use also plays a significant role in the results. Bissell recommends using their PRO MAX Clean + Protect formula for optimal performance, and for good reason.

• Deep Cleaning Chemistry: This specialized formula is designed to penetrate deep into carpet fibers, tackling ground-in dirt, stains, and odors. It often contains enzymes that break down organic stains like pet urine and vomit, making them easier to remove. The formula’s effectiveness is a recurring theme in positive user reviews. The use of specific cleaning solutions can help break down different types of stains and soils.
• Long-Term Protection: The formula also includes stain protection technology, which helps to repel future stains and keep your carpets looking cleaner for longer. This protective barrier can be particularly beneficial in high-traffic areas or homes with pets and children. It’s like applying a shield to your carpets, making them more resistant to spills and dirt.

Supporting a Cause - Every Purchase Saves Pets

Beyond its cleaning capabilities, the Bissell Big Green offers another compelling reason to choose it: with every purchase, you’re helping to save homeless pets. Bissell proudly supports the Bissell Pet Foundation, which works to find loving homes for animals in need.

• Cleaning with a Conscience: Bissell’s commitment to animal welfare adds a layer of social responsibility to your purchase. By choosing the Big Green, you’re not only investing in a cleaner home but also contributing to a worthy cause. This resonates with many pet owners and animal lovers, making the Big Green an even more appealing choice.
