Bissell manufactured the Bissell Turboclean Powerbrush Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner Machine and Carpet Shampooer, 2085 as a way to offer a reliable but cheap carpet cleaner. As it has a very attractive price (under $100 just !) it is possibly the cheapest model from Bissell. It is especially useful for those who have pets, rugs and low pile carpets.

The Bissell Turboclean Powerbrush Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner Machine and Carpet Shampooer, 2085 came about in a rather unusual way.
A small dog (Shaggy) was taken to a shelter as he was found abandoned. Fortunately, he was there for only a few weeks or so before a Bissell associate rescued him. Bissell designed this specific carpet cleaner with Shaggy in mind, so if he brings in mud and dirt or makes a mess( they all do!) the Bissell Turboclean Powerbrush Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner will clean it up in minutes.
I am telling you this, not just because it is a nice story, but when you purchase a Bissell Turboclean Powerbrush Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner and you register and activate your product part of the sale is donated to the Bissell Pet Foundation that supports groups that look after pets like Shaggy.

Bissells Lightest Upright Carpet Cleaner
One of the great positive aspects of the Bissell Turboclean Carpet Cleaner is that it only weighs 12lb. Look at some of the comments made by purchasers of the carpet cleaner;
“I can carry it in one hand”
“I like it because I have lower back issues and cannot carry anything heavy”
“I like it because it is easy to maneuver. carry and push.
Because of its mobility, you can quickly carry it around to clean up any pet mess.

Two Tank System
Keeps the clean and dirty water apart with two simple tanks.
EdgeSweep Brushes.
This carpet cleaner has a four-row rotating Dirt Lifter Power Brush and together with its powerful suction will remove most of the brought in dirt while the cleaning bristles will clean baseboards and furniture.
Removable Nozzle.
The Bissell Turboclean Powerbrush Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner Machine and Carpet Shampooer, 2085 has a nozzle that can be detached and washed in the sink before you put the cleaner away.
Collapsible Handle
This machine is not only lightweight but comes with a handle that collapses making the carpet cleaner more compact so that it will fit into a small space when not in use.
When combined with the Bissell 1990 Pro Pet Urine Eliminator Upright Deep Cleaner Formula this cleaner will make it easy to get rid of stains whether it be grape juice, wine, coffee or even pet urine out of your carpets, rugs, hallways or other high traffic areas.

Questions And Answers Section
Question :
Would this machine work on extremely dirty carpets?
Answer :
That is a good question. The answer is probably not very well. Basically, this carpet cleaner is not designed for large areas so you would be making many trips to the sink before your carpet was really clean. It is a small appliance for use on pet stains in a limited area. In other words, it works OK but for extremely dirty carpets you would have to go over the area more than once.
Question :
Does the cleaner work on stairs?
Answer:
The answer is the Bissell Turboclean Powerbrush Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner Machine and Carpet Shampooer, 2085 is not really made for stairs-so it would be quite awkward. For instance, it does not have any attachments such as an upholstery brush. If it is very necessary for you to have this equipment please try the BISSELL PowerSteamer PowerBrush Full Sized Carpet Cleaner, 1623.
Question :
Does it clean pet stains?
Answer :
Yes, it does very effectively especially if you use the sample bottle of OxiClean stain remover that comes in the sample bottle. You will probably need a full-size bottle which you can purchase at Amazon as mentioned above the Bissell 1990 Pro Pet Urine Eliminator Upright Deep Cleaner Formula.

Question:
Would this work with a high pile or a shag rug?
Answer:
Some say the rug might get caught in the bristles, others say it works OK but it might be difficult to remove the excess water. Yet others answer that they are not sure. In the circumstances if, you want a definite answer to this question it might be advisable to ring Bissell on 1-800-237-7691.
Question:
Will it do a normal size room without emptying and refilling?
Answer:
This, of course, raises another question-how big is a normal room? But the answer is probably not. It will do an excellent job but you may have to empty and refill a couple of times -remember this carpet cleaner is an inexpensive one made for small spaces.
Question:
My cleaner does not seem to have any instructions. I do not know how much water/cleaner to use?
Answer:
You can download the manual online, however, there should be instructions on the back of the plastic container, which includes lines which will answer your question, such as “water to here” level -so fill the container with hot water (make sure it is NOT boiling ) and “cleaner or formula to here” level..So water to the first line and add the cleaning solution to the second.

Question:
Could you use the cleaner on tiles and would it pick up the excess water?
Answer:
Again to get a definitive answer phone Bissell, but most customers would say no. It was not designed for use on smooth floors like vinyl or tiles.
Question:
Are the EdgeSweep bristles likely to break?
Answer:
Most people do not seem to have a problem in this regard. But, if you are heavy handed and hit the side on something heavy anything could happen, but with normal usage, this will not be a problem.

The Verdict
A good purchase for its weight and price, particularly if you have back problems and your carpets are not terribly dirty. Obviously, to keep your carpets clean you will need a carpet cleaner that is light and easily maneuverable. The Bissell Turboclean Powerbrush Pet Upright Carpet Cleaner Machine and Carpet Shampooer, 2085 is a perfect match especially if you have a small living space and limited storage facilities.
