from www.amazon.com
i checked behind it yesterday after it did the bedroom and you can see an inch thick layer of dust under the bed where it couldn't get to because of junk we had under there (and i could never get the
from www.amazon.com
it is slightly taller than the previous model so if you want to use your older virtually walls you must put something under them about a half inch thick and they will work fine.

quiet, powerful to clean up 3 rooms, cleans thick carpet well, does not crash to furniture, does not curl wires...

it is a bit hard to push on thick carpet but its cleaning ability makes it worth the effort.

Bissell 1867 steamMOP Stick

Best Price: $93.00

from www.amazon.com
the tile had what turned out to be a thick layer of hairspray and powder caked on to it.
from www.amazon.com
it's not flimsy and the pads are thick and soft.
from www.amazon.com
my one complaint about this mop is that while it will get underneath cabinet edges, it will not fit under the edge of my fridge and in the corners like i would like it to because the head is too thick
from www.amazon.com
the easy to fill reservoir slides effortlessly into place, and the thick, absorbent mop heads are easy to attach.
from www.amazon.com
i'd like to see the pads a bit thicker as the texture of the floor has worn holes in a couple of them, but i'm guessing they will last a lot longer on a smooth surface.

makes a crazy noise on rugs that are thick and not attached to the floor, but it says its normal in the book.
from Deborah from Henderson, NV, www.circuitcity.com
i think a thicker wool area rug would be just fine.regular carpet, i felt like i had just had the carpets cleaned!
from www.amazon.com
we installed a thick new carpet and quickly discovered it was difficult to maneuver our fairly new hoover vacuum through it.
from www.amazon.com
the main reasons why i did not give it 5 stars is this: 1)you cannot use the machine itself on large area rugs that are very thick and have a backing on them - the machine can't get enough air flow
