It's loud and heavy. It weighs a bulky 22.5 pounds and it registered a noise level of 82.8 decibels (like busy traffic). As a toddler mom and a dog mom, my white carpet constantly needs cleaning. Sometimes to wash away the "snackcidents" my kids leave behind. Other times, to clean and deodorize pet odors. My 2-year-old is currently going through potty training, meaning pee-accidents happen. I've tested six different carpet cleaners to see which was best for my house. I used ketchup, chocolate syrup, red wine, sharpie marker, and urine to see how each fared on tough stain lifting and odor removal.

The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is loud, bulky and on the heavy side, but its presteam feature, powerful maximum wash mode and self-cleaning mode helped it stand out among its competitors. I used wolf urine for the urine pet sniff test during my carpet cleaning challenge. You can buy wolf urine on Amazon. Its main purpose is to keep predators away during hunting or to keep coyotes away from your chicken coop. Katie Collins I poured an accident-sized amount of wolf urine on carpet samples, let it sit in hot, humid air for 3 hours. Then I tried out each carpet cleaner. I sniffed-tested each sample 4 hours later (using lemon in between sniffs to clear my nose's palate). Katie Collins My experience with the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam carpet cleaner I was surprised by how well this Bissell Revolution performed. I was expecting the Tineco Carpet One Cruiser to come out on top. The Tineco's hefty price tag ($700) and AI smart features scream "superior tech." Yes, the Tineco outshined all others on the tough stain test. But the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam took care of those tough pet odors best while coming in a close second on the tough stain test. The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam was the only one that truly held up to the challenge, especially in removing pet urine and the lingering "dog smell" that can permeate carpets. Its presteam feature is a game-changer, effectively lifting tough odors and loosening stains before the main wash, which is a feature I haven't seen on other models. While the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam excels in performance, it's a robust machine, weighing in at 22.5 pounds, making it the heaviest of the cleaners I tested. This can make it a bit challenging to maneuver, especially if you need to carry it up or down stairs. I also found the reclining pedal sometimes requires a firm push. It's quite loud, registering at 82.8 decibels, which is comparable to busy traffic. I wouldn't recommend it if you have sensitive hearing or sleeping children during the time of cleaning. However, the large water tanks are a significant plus, allowing me to clean my entire 500 square feet of carpet without needing to stop and refill or empty the tanks, which is a common issue I experienced with other carpet cleaners.

Katie Collins CNET's buying advice Despite its weight and noise, the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam's ability to clean and deodorize sets it apart. During my real-world testing, particularly with the pet urine smell test, I was genuinely shocked by its effectiveness. After cleaning and subsequent "sniff tests" (with lemon to reset my palate), I could not detect any urine smell whatsoever. This was a critical factor for me, given the occasional accident during potty training with my toddler and the general presence of pets. For anyone dealing with persistent pet odors or tough stains, the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam, with its powerful pre-steam and maximum power mode, proves to be my favorite cleaning tool. It provides me with peace of mind and a fresh smelling and clean home. Katie Collins/CNET If you have different needs or a smaller budget, there are a few alternatives. If your primary concern is general foot traffic cleaning and you're not worried about pet messes, a less expensive model like the Hoover SmartWash Plus FlexForce (our choice for ease of use) or the Bissell Revolution Pet ProHeat 2X (our favorite budget pick) might be better choices. However, if pet odor removal and deep stain cleaning are your priorities, the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam stands out as the superior choice.

Best Carpet Cleaners: I Used Real Life Messes as the Ultimate Test
The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is the best overall carpet cleaner I tested. It was the only carpet washer that effectively removed pet urine and pet odors from my carpet. It also came in second to the Tineco Carpet Cruiser with tough stain removal. But for $300 less than the Tineco, its price-to-value ratio is unbeatable. Why I like it: While the Tineco Carpet Cruiser edged out the Bissell HydroSteam on the tough stain removal test, the Bissell blew away the competition on pet odor testing. It effectively removed the pet urine smell and dog dander odor and came in close second in tough stain removal. The pre-steam function is unique in that it helps lift those tough odors from the carpet fibers and loosen the stains before washing it. I also liked its larger water tanks and long cord. Unlike most other carpet cleaners, I didn't need to stop to empty or refill before completing the cleaning of my 500 square feet of carpet. With most carpet cleaners, I have to unplug and replug to clean my entire carpet -- not with the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam. Who it's good for: This carpet cleaner is best for pet owners and parents -- especially cat owners, dog owners and toddler parents. During testing, the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam effectively removed pet urine odor and the lingering "dog smell" from my carpet. It also lifted tough stains like ketchup, red wine and chocolate syrup. As a parent currently going through toddler potty training, removing tough stains and urine smells is key. In between sniff tests, I used lemon to cleanse my pallet and reset my sense of smell. When sniffing the carpet samples with the pet urine, I couldn't detect the urine smell after using the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam. Any dog or cat owner knows there is a distinct pet odor -- not from potty accidents -- just from having pets. Their dander leaves an odor on my furniture and carpets. I waited two months to clean my own carpet to test which carpet cleaner could lift and deodorize that distinctive 'dog smell.' The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam was simply the best at eliminating and deodorizing pet smells. Who shouldn't buy it: As much as I loved how well it performed, it is the heaviest of the bunch at 22.5 lbs. Also, the recline pedal needs more pressure than on the other machines I tested. A few times, I needed to kick it to get it to recline. This carpet cleaner isn't ideal for anyone who struggles with dexterity or carrying it up and down stairs. As the second loudest, this carpet cleaner might not be good for those with sensitive hearing or for use while children are sleeping, as you might wake them (like I did). If you simply need general foot traffic cleaning or you don't have pets, you're better off with a cheaper model, such as the Hoover SmartWash+ FlexForce or our budget pick, the Bissell Revolution Pet ProHeat 2X.

Prime Day Deal: Get Bissell's Classic Little Green Carpet Cleaner for Just $70
When I bought my Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner many years ago, I bought it specifically for pet messes. As I type this, it sits in my closet, ready to go for the next accident my dogs make, which the machine has been dutifully cleaning up since Obama was still president. That same cleaner is now on sale for Amazon Prime Day for 26% off, putting the cost at just a hair under $70. The Little Green has been around for over 30 years. You've probably seen advertisements before, especially if you've ever shopped for a portable carpet cleaner. It works pretty easily. You put some hot water and cleaning solution in one tank, and then use the nozzle to shoot the cleaner onto your carpet. The bristles on the brush work the soap and water into the stain, pulling the dirt up. Once done, you use the vacuum section to suck it all up. I didn't have to look up the product page to tell you that. I've personally done it many times. Since it's so small, you can carry it anywhere, and I've used it for other tasks as well, including cleaning my couches and even once on my car cushions back when I had a car with cloth seats. It's not as powerful as the full-size carpet cleaners, but its smaller stature and lighter frame make it superior for small messes. As someone who owns both a full-size and portable cleaner, I reach for the Little Green most of the time and save the big guy for larger tasks. Those who want a little extra oomph can also check out the Bissell Little Green Max Pet, which is on sale for 36% off, bringing the price to $90. It features more suction, larger water tanks, and an extra scrub tool. Both work just fine for pet stains, but if you have an extra $20 and want the extra horsepower, it's an option. Don't miss the best deals! Sign up now and CNET will text you the latest deals. You've probably noticed that I used the word "pet" a lot here, and that's because it's the single best use case for a carpet cleaner like the Little Green. However, you may not have a pet and stumbled onto this out of curiosity and decided that the Little Green isn't for you. If that's the case, I recommend checking out the best deals on robot vacuums, since you can save similar time and effort while still taking good care of your carpet. Best Prime Day Kitchen Appliance Deals Score some of the best discounts of the year on top kitchen tech during Prime Day, and our shopping experts have rounded up the only deals worth taking seriously this year. See Now Infinitely easier than scrubbing by hand Before I picked up one of these things, I would do what everyone does when their pet makes a mess: getting down on my hands and knees with cleaner, paper towels, regular towels and a scrub brush. Dabbing up as much of the mess as possible with paper towels before scrubbing with soap, and then drying the mess with a regular towel until the carpet is mostly dry. Trust me when I say I don't miss those days. It was a workout. So, the value in having one of these vacuums mostly speaks for itself. It saves time and effort while doing a better job. You have two really good options for these two cleaners. The classic Mini Green is the cheaper of the two at $70, but we'd argue that the Little Green Pet Max's 36% discount and $90 price tag offer the better overall value proposition. I can tell you that the regular Little Green works perfectly well, so if you're in the market, you can't go wrong either way.
