Overview
Bissell 17N4 carpet cleaner is highly recommended for home with pets because it is very efficient in pet hair and pet vomit removal. This carpet cleaner is amazing at dirt extraction for large areas. However, it does not have 2 cleaning modes and the machine weight is a bit heavy (over 24 lbs.), and it’s also no longer available.
You should think of the portability of the carpet cleaner if you have to maneuver frequently, otherwise Bissell 17N4 is a great option for workmanship and durability.
