Dirt Devil Portable Spot Cleaner Machine for Carpet and Upholstery

I love so much about this cleaner. It got up stains that my professional cleaner company did not do such a good job on. This dirt devil is really cute and just the right size. Consumer reports talked about the size of this machine in a negative light, but the whole point is to spot clean - not clean a whole room. If I wanted to clean a large area, I would get a full sized machine. So, this dirt devil doesn't clean as large an area as other mini-cleaners, but it cleaned plenty of stains in one go and it's nice an small/more compact compared to other cleaners, which makes me very happy. You have to use a lot of elbow grease/pressure, but this machine really does have a lot of suction/power and was able to get up an impressive amount of moisture. So my carpet dries relatively fast. Finally, this machine is a fraction of the price of other portable carpet cleaners. I think it is a fantastic value for the money. This is the main reason I don't mind too much that there is no place to store the two brush heads. I can deal with that for this price. ******* The only con on this device is how hard it is to remove one of the brush heads. It is REALLY hard. And this is ridiculous, because the other brush head is very easy to remove. It has a different way of attaching. There's no reason they couldn't use the easy attachment for both heads. If the price wasn't so good, I would have subtracted a star or two for this. But maybe for the price, it is something to overlook??? ******* WARNING They sent me the wrong model. The box I got had only one brush head (by design for that box - not that it was missing for the box), but the picture and ad on this page clearly show two brush heads. I called customer support and they eventually made it right, but it took a really long time, including sending the wrong head at first. I've had far worse experiences with customer service at other companies. But this wasn't the best of experiences either. It decided in the end that it wasn't worth removing a star over, but I wanted to warn people, because once you get the box, you might easily forget that you were supposed to get 2 heads if the same error happens to you.

I bought this mainly to tackle dog urine spots on our carpet, and I was honestly impressed with how well it worked. The unit is lightweight and compact, which makes it easy to carry around the house and store when it’s not in use. Setup was simple, and I appreciated that it came with a small bottle of cleaning solution so I could start using it right away. The hose is long enough to comfortably reach problem areas without dragging the whole machine around, and the suction is stronger than I expected for a cleaner this size. What really stood out was how well it handled the stains. I sprayed the area, scrubbed lightly, and the machine pulled the dirty water right back out of the carpet, leaving it only slightly damp. The spots that had been bothering me were gone much faster than I expected. Pros Lightweight and compact design Good suction for a portable cleaner Long hose makes it easy to reach stains Leaves carpet fairly dry after cleaning Works well on pet stains Minor Con The clean water/solution tank is fairly small, so I had to refill it a few times to finish the job. Overall, this has been a very useful tool for pet owners. It’s easy to use, stores easily, and does a great job on spot cleaning when you don’t want to bring out a full carpet cleaner.

I needed something to at least try to deal with the pet and human stains around my house. I can’t seem to change the pet/human behaviors but I can clean. The machine is lightweight and easy to manage and move around. It’s not too lightweight and stays upright through using. The hose is a good length. REALLY good suction. This is a tool I would definitely use for a general spill on a rug or furniture to reduce liquid. The reservoir for the cleaning solution is a little small. The Dirt Devil spot cleaning solution that comes with the cleaner smells good (light floral scent) and works well in the “regular cleaning” strength. I used nearly the full cleaning tank to do the arm/side of this couch. These were old stains on the couch and I’m very pleased with the results. The water is disgusting and this was just one go over leaving the cleaning solution on for 5 minutes. The suction is really good but the couch remained damp for a bit. Very pleased with this purchase.

Hi my name is Alexis and I am ADDICTED to cleaning my carpets. I added this thing to my baby registry and gifted it to myself because anyone who has ever been pregnant knows about going on an unhinged rage cleaning spree where nothing is off limits. DON'T GET THIS MACHINE UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO BECOME OBSESSED WITH IT BECAUSE IT IS SO SATISFYING!!! First off this thing is excellent for dried blood stains (I promise I'm not a serial killer). Sadly we lost a dog last year to a cancerous tumor on his nose that metastasized. The last week or so of his life, he was basically just dripping puddles of blood all over our carpets from his nose and mouth. I did my best at the time on my hands and knees with a spray bottle of carpet cleaner. When I got this thing 10 months later, I certainly didn't have high expectations for dried on, set in, year-old blood stains. However, the stain striker took care of those like they were nothing. So then I moved on to the cushions of our ottoman that can't be laundered. I was in awe!! The satisfaction of dumping the black brown water that you get out of the surfaces of your home quickly becomes intoxicating. So then I thought I'd throw the hardest thing I had at the machine, my car seats that have never been cleaned in my 11 year-old car. My passenger seat looked like a crime scene (again...not a serial killer but someone who is way too trusting of takeout Tupperware when I know I drive like I'm in Grand Theft Auto). I had put an uncooked French toast casserole on the front seat once 6 years ago and it leaked everywhere. I never cleaned it and figured after years of 100 degree summers since, baked on egg custard on upholstery was there to stay. I honestly would have been stoked if my car seats just looked half as bad when I got done with them, but they LOOK BRAND NEW!! I may have gotten carried away and did the entire car upholstery and carpets for 5 hours at 4 days before my due date at the risk of delivering spontaneously in my driveway. My husband tried to convince me to stop on my third tank of solution and with a crazed glint in my eye, but he's terrified of me and should be because I can clean up blood now if he pisses me off. The parts are extremely easy to rinse clean and the solution that comes with it smells really refreshing, and the price point feels like an absolute steal.

If you're looking for a one-liner, here it is: I want to spot-clean everything. Living with seven pets, messes are just a part of life. It's like pets aim their vomits or accidents at carpet or furniture.. any sort of fabric to soil rather than the nice and easy-to-clean wood flooring or tile. Having to use half a roll of paper towels, and a rag or two to clean the fabrics is frustrating, and made me dread even having pets indoors. Even though I have done it for years at this point, the final straw was when a dog decided the holiday tree was a superb spot to pee. It soiled the fake snow, the skirt, and the rug underneath. We tossed the snow and skirt because we couldn't really wash those. To clean the rug, I was again cleaning with paper towels, rags, laundry detergent, and carpet freshener. With this method, I did feel not feel the carpet was truly becoming clean. It made me feel gross about my home, even though I clean it in other ways every week. In comes deal days, where I found this spot cleaner advertised. I had been wanting one, and sure, I could have asked for it as a gift, but I really wanted it sooner. So I sprung on the deal and made the purchase. It arrived, and sat for a few days before suddenly a dog gets an upset stomach and vomits on - the rug. Yes, the same rug. I whip out this machine and read the instructions. I use a paper towel to pick up the solids, then added water and cleaner to the machine and chose a head for the hose (it comes with two heads). I turn it on and start cleaning. I spray the cleaner/water mix onto the rug and then start vacuuming it up. WOOOOOOOOW - was my internal thought the entire time. It was so awesome to see the grossness just disappear with ease. Since the heads are clear, you can see when the water starts to run clear and it assures you the spot is indeed clean! And since it is a vacuum, you can keep vacuuming until you see no more water flowing into it and you know you have gotten it all. The spot does stay a little damp after, but not nearly as bad as if you used just a rag and cleaner. The dog continued to have an upset stomach for a week, and even though I was walking him often, he had an accident on our bathroom rug. Again, not any of the tile of the entire other portion of our bathroom - just the small rug. In comes this tool again. Effortless. I do advise, make sure you remove the solids.. or.. the excess bits as best you can before using it. It's just overall healthier for the machine and makes it less disgusting to clean. The machine itself can be cleaned pretty easily. To clean the hose, just suck up clean water for a bit and then air to help dry it out. Take the tank out and head off the hose and run them with soap and water. Dry them before putting them back into the machine. That's it! Now I am prepared for any and all messes, and am telling myself not to 'spot clean' the entire house just because this machine is so fun to use.

This is a mighty little tool!!! It cleans thoroughly and quickly. It’s efficient and somewhat easy to use (I’m disabled, so it might be operator error). I have an ageing chihuahua who decided this winter was the perfect time to use the living room rug as her personal toilet. This made cleaning that as simple as I could imagine. It cleans up older stains as well with just a little extra effort. I also used just hot, as I could stand, water once the area turned clear water. The only cons I have is that the dirty tank fills up fast and if you have more than just a small area it takes a few empties to get it clean. The bottle of concentrate is very small. I’ve already ordered a big bottle and I’ve only used the machine today. It says it’s scented, but I can’t smell it, which is a plus for me, as I can be sensitive to smells.

I honestly bought this as a last resort before replacing my entire sectional. My light-colored couch had years of dirt, stains, and discoloration that regular cleaning products just couldn’t remove. I was convinced I would have to spend hundreds, if not thousands, on a new couch. After seeing the Dirt Devil Portable Spot Cleaner, I decided to give it one final shot—and I’m so glad I did. The difference was immediate. The dirty water that came out of my couch was shocking, and after just one cleaning session, my cushions looked several shades lighter. Areas that were visibly stained and dingy now look fresh, clean, and almost brand new. The before-and-after results exceeded every expectation I had. The machine was easy to use, had strong suction, and left the fabric looking refreshed without being overly saturated. I was especially impressed by how well it handled years of built-up dirt on a light-colored fabric couch. If you’re debating whether to replace your furniture or try cleaning it first, save yourself the money and try this machine. It literally saved me from buying a new couch. I expected it to help a little—I never expected it to make my couch look this good. Highly recommend!

I like it so far, but the return tank lid absolutely sucks, and is beyond frustrating. There is no seal. It's absolutely infuriating when it knocks over and spills a full tank of dirty water everywhere. Considering an alternative, as this defeats it's purpose.

Me encanta!! Es muy fácil de usar y puedes limpiar lo que sea, me gustaría que la manguera se pudiera extender aún más, pero en general está muy bueno

This vacuum is replacing my Bissell wet vac for pets (Pro Heat) and the Dirt Devil is way better. It's a similar design but the DD fixed a lot of product flaws in the Bissell. The Bissell has a rigid hose so mine eventually got a tear. I looked the problem up online and found a lot of people had the same issue since the hose gets twisted so easily and eventually just cracks. The DD is lighter and smaller, so much easier to store. The water tank is also much smaller than the Bissell but that didn't bother me. Suction is about equal on both, but I appreciated that the DD came with an attachment that wasn't a brush (silicone spikes) because the brush is hard to clean and not ideal for certain stains. Also it was impossible to remove the attachments on the Bissell, but it was easy with the DD. The Bissell cleaning head and tank had so many angles on the inside that pet hair would build up but couldn't be cleaned out. The DD cleans easily and the hose cleaner is amazing. I never had any issues mentioned in the other reviews like leaking. The only thing that might be an inconvenience is the small tank size, but like I mentioned, that was no problem for me.

Works perfectly! Great product

Me gusta aspira bn el agua y deja todo bn limpio

We have had a number of carpet cleaning machines over the years, both upright and portable. Each of them eventually succumbed to suction problems - difficult to clean the cleaning solution out after use. We ordered this unit based on reviews after our portable green machine packed it in. Very impressive. Light weight, simply to use, great suction and for the first time, a clean out port to ensure the solution is fully removed before storage. Brilliant! Highly recommend.
