I have a travertine tile floor throughout a bungalow, just carpets in the bedrooms. I’m not ashamed to admit that I dislike this flooring, and wouldn’t have chosen it myself- it was down when we moved in. I’m sure they look lovely when first done, but the pockmarks and natural ripples in the stone fill up with dirt over time, leaving tiles never looking clean. I have literally spent hours on hands and knees scrubbing in the past. Looks good for a few days, then grubby again, even with daily vacuuming and mopping. Ideally this floor needs renovating and re grouting but it’s costly. The dirt around the cooking area becomes sticky within the pockmarks, so simple cleaning doesn’t work. The sheer time and effort to achieve so little has meant I didn’t do it enough, and recent injuries in the household has led to a few weeks of vacuuming only.I declared to husband the floor had to go, and we should get porcelain tiles instead. This was going to cost a fortune, so as a last ditch effort we invested in a decent cleaner.This has literally transformed everything. The first time I used it, the floor looked cleaner- not perfect by a long way, but cleaner. The water was an embarrassing thick brown sludge. The beauty was that I could actually see and feel a difference after only 30 mins- this is a big area, kitchen, diner, living room, hallway, sun lounge. Normally would take a couple of hours to vacuum then mop, with unsatisfying results. I repeated every day for 5 days, until the water was pale grey and the results got better every time. I now will maintain once a week.Some tips for anyone with a difficult stone floor,:Start at far end of room and work backwards, just a small area at a time.Hold button down on rug setting (uses more water needed for uneven surface) and through go over wetting surface.Move back over same area on suction only and get as much water up as possible. This is important, don’t leave it to evaporation or the dirt will just dry back on.Move slowly in different directions. This machine will do the hard work for you- but you need to give it a chance. Take your time and be methodical.The results are cumulative, use more often to start withI didn’t use the Bissell solution- so expensive! I used flash- worked better and smelt great. Use your own favourite.Get spare filters- they take ages to dryAs other reviews state this does not go right to edges. As far as I can tell none of them do. It wasn’t a deal breaker for me as I now have enough time to spray mop edges. The suction goes to the edges, so still takes up the dirt, but the brush roller doesn’t.I hope this review helps others. If I could give 10 stars I would.

I suppose it's the old adage "you can't beat elbow grease". Yes, it does what it says on the tin, it's a good sturdy product and it certainly cleans floors reasonably well. It does vacuum but after a few goes I would recommend giving the area a normal vacuum first as it can be a touch messy cleaning out debris from all the various channels. It cleans well to a degree, any stubborn stains you will need to hover over the area for a while to let the roller do its job. If you're using a mop and bucket on a similar mark a good rub is all it takes to remove. However, where this machine triumphs is its economical use of water and its ability to suck up the excess liquid; with a mop and bucket you are spreading far more water over the same area which obviously increases drying time, the Bissell cuts drying time exponentially! It feels like it takes the same time to clean a floor with this product but obviously at a far more relaxed pace. Worth the investment?..... Put it this way; it makes floor cleaning a touch more pleasant. :-)
