Bissell Turbo Brush (2036652)



A great addition
purchased this to use with the Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine. A similar tool came with the cleaner but it doesn't have a rotating beater brush. this Turbo brush does an excellent job in the nooks and crannies where the Big machine can't go (especially in our RV). A constant whistling noise while the brush was in use became a little annoying, but a piece of tape on the outside of the little hole on top of the brush where it attaches to the hose took care of that. Seems to be well made and sturdy, and it isn't real expensive so it's very much worth of your consideration if you have, or are going to buy the carpet cleaning machine

Great - but I wish the brush rotated faster
This brush is great. Much better than the basic manual brush on the end of the Green Machine. I just with that the brush was a little more aggressive. It could have been geared to rotate much faster...at least I think that would have made the product better. Also, don't rinse this off in the sink and get the entire thing wet. I did this, and thought I broke it...the brush wouldn't rotate when it was that wet. After it dried out it was just fine. But...just because it is a product that is meant to work in and around moisture DON"T IMMURSE THIS IN WATER.

Not worth it
The Good
A little wider than the base brush

The Bad
Little spinning power / slow spin on the brushes
easy to accidentally bump the slider toggle between brush and vacuum
no deep clean

Overall
I'll admit it - I bought this attachment for my little green pro heat because it sounded cool and that it would let me be lazy - why scrub when you can have a power attachment? This product didn't deliver. The spinning brushes have little power, so if you push down to get a deep clean the brushes slow down or stop spinning altogether, you can't really scrub because the brushes spin forward to back, so you can't scrub side to side or in circular motions. It's really easy to bump the slide button on the top and suction when trying to scrub or vice-versa. the only thing going for this is that it's slightly wider than the original attachment so you get a little more area at once. Given this is used with a small "spot cleaner" carpet shampooer, it's just...
