BiSSEll BigGreen BGFS5000 Portable Two Brush Floor Scrubber & Polisher, 13" W x 7" D x 44" H, White & Green

Great product

DO NOT BUY !!!!! THIS THING SUCKS. I HAVE A BISSELL® Big Green® Professional Carpet Cleaner AND IT WORKS GREAT. THOUGHT THIS WOULD TOO. BUT THE BRUSHES ARE CRAP. MADE WHITE GROUT WORSE. THE TURNED WATER BROWN RIGHT OUT OF TYHE BOX. I RINSED THEM MUTIPLE TIMES AND STILL BAD. RETURNING IT AND GOING TO FIND A BETTER OPTION. ONE THAT I CAN BUY BRUSHES FOR.

I have all white tile on my floors. Very hard to keep the grout nice and clean . Cleans GREAT and is fast and easy to use. This has a good weight for use, and the brushes do a great job. Only complaint is that the trigger attachment to regulate the flow of cleaning water has to be Checked regularly it is poorly made and will allow a leak or wont dispense properly. Not that big of a deal once I identified the reason for the problem I was having.

I unboxed it and went right to work.I screwed on a plastic flapper on the bottom so they wouldn’t spit off any of the solution to the walls.But otherwise a great machine

BiSSEll BigGreen BGFS5000 Portable Two Brush Floor Scrubber & PolisherGiven so many low customer ratings for this machine, we were apprehensive about buying one. As it turned out, our machine has none of the problems cited by so many others. Perhaps Bissell’s Chinese manufacturer redesigned a few parts to work better?- machine is a virtual clone of the Sears floor cleaner that we owned and loved for 25 years (which eventually failed – and no parts are available for it).- the brand new BFGS500 arrived fully assembled with all parts (all of the listed pads and the pad clips). There’s nothing to do except remove the plastic wrap and cardboard – and use it.- these new models no longer require a customer to install a “switch box” that so many complained about. An on/off switch is built-in. It’s only one speed, but we only used “high” on that old Sears scrubber.- the 8-notch brushes snap (with a firm push) securely onto the hub at the machine’s bottom. For spare stiff brushes, search Amazon on “Koblenz 6 Inch Scrub Brushes with 8 Notch Hub 4502332"- the liquid container on our machine is fine. It doesn’t leak and it snaps into the machine’s chrome post, lining up perfectly with the slot on the open-close controller.- the 35' cord should be sufficiently long for most jobs – it’s almost too long for us.- we bought it to clean our Azek deck – much easier than cleaning by hand.- negatives... some of the plastic parts should be thicker / stronger – such as the green liquid container cover (reads “Heavy duty - commercial”) – that part is fragile.... machine will tip over backwards, so it has to be held onto or rested on something.... OK for occasional homeowner use, but no way is this a “commercial” quality machine. It wouldn’t last.... avoid buying a “used” machine. New is better, will have fewer issues, and will last longer.

Needs a drying function. It's leaves the floor too wet. Great scrubber!!!

I have vinyl floors that look like wood. I have used other cleaners throughout the 9 years we have been here. From steamers, a Bissell floor cleaner, to wet moping and dry mopping afterward. Nothing was getting them clean. I have a daughter in wheel chair & dogs. It gets dirty. I was like I’m going to have to replace these floors in next couple of year. Well this was my last cleaner I was going to buy. I wanted one that had scrubbers but not evasive enough to ruin my floors. This thing works!! If you need a cleaner for hard floors get this!! I’m seeing magic before my eyes. Getting them back to the original color!! You can see in picture the cut off.

We will be working with Bissel to see if we can resolve this, but so far this is not working and it looks like we will need to return it. The directions are really unclear and it looks like steps 1-4 were already completed, so I suspect that this is not a new machine - perhaps one that was returned as damaged. The tank will not hold water, the mechanism that would release the water is constantly in the open position. No matter if we fill it and try to then attach the tank, or if we fill it when it is attached, the solution just pours out. We reviewed some YouTube videos to see if we were doing something wrong, but the issue seems to be with the tank. It is very disappointing that we would pay so much money and get a used machine.
