I've have and used the Auto model and have had NO problems with it until I bought and use the Duramaid1600.

As for the hot water, it just takes a few seconds for the hot water to get through the tubing... it gets hotter than I expected, but not worth $100 when I can put the extraction head on my shopvac for $8 and use my own brush.

I'm bumping my own reply to show exactly what I found that worked. This is the Shop Vac attachment that I use- 2.5 Inch Concentrator Nozzle With the Bissel extraction head- Tough Stain Tool

If you already have the Wet/Dry Vac with concentrator nozzle, it's only a $5 investment for decent extraction.

Did you buy this instead of a steamer? Any chance you can do a review of it?

That's the one I just bought a couple month ago. If you look at the spec page mine is the model 1425-1. Works good for me.

FWIW, on Bissell's website I just found a version called ProHeat TurboBrush Pet, 1425W, unique to Wal-Mart, that includes a rotating power-brush that might improve cleaning.

The specs on Bissell.com are identical to the auto and original LGM.

I bought the Proheat model about three years ago and it came with the turbo-brush. I thought they all did. It also came with the tough stain tool. It was $89 at Target. I'm well pleased with mine.

I got that one from Walmart. In my experience the turbo brush, which is powered by air suction from the extractor head, is terrible. The brush slows down with slight pressure and I assume it reduces suction power. Definitely NOT a "Powerful rotating TurboBrush® loosens and removes deep-down dirt." as the Manufacturer describes. I guess it could be good for a final pass to get a nice even look, never got that far before returning the unit.

I have never even tried the rotating brush. Never figured it would work worth a crap.

If anyone is interest I got a little green machine. Only used once, I filled up with water in it to test it. Don't have original box. 50+ shipping or best offer. Pm me if your interested.

Just curious as to what solutions you are using?? I have been using an APC from the local guy with great results. But I'm always up to try something new!! Thinking of giving OPC a try next time! Thanks!
