Big Green Professional Carpet Cleaner
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
Professional-grade dual-tank extraction system
Bissell's Big Green is the professional-grade home carpet cleaner that competes directly with the rental Rug Doctor units you get at supermarkets — except you own it, so you can clean as often as you want without the $30/day rental fee. The dual-tank system (clean water in, dirty water out) is the same architecture as commercial carpet extractors; the brush is a heated rotating extractor (not just a spray-and-vacuum); and the 9-inch wand reaches under furniture without dragging. r/HomeImprovement, r/CleaningTips, and r/dogs all surface the Big Green as the carpet cleaner that owners of pet-soiled carpets keep returning to — it lifts urine, vomit, and old stains that consumer-grade carpet cleaners just spread around. Replacement parts (pump, hose, brushes) available from Bissell.
