9600 specifications

The Bissell 9600 is an advanced carpet cleaner that excels in deep cleaning performance while offering a range of innovative features designed to make the process as efficient and user-friendly as possible. This powerful machine stands out in the crowded market of cleaning devices with its exceptional capabilities in removing tough stains, dirt, and allergens from carpets and upholstery.

One of the primary features of the Bissell 9600 is its dual tank system. This design separates clean water from dirty water, ensuring that users always apply fresh, clean solution for effective cleaning. The clean tank holds water and cleaning solution, while the dirty tank collects the wastewater, making it easy to see when it’s time to empty. This separation not only enhances cleaning efficiency but also simplifies the cleaning process.

The Bissell 9600 is equipped with powerful suction technology that works in tandem with its cleaning brushes. The machine uses rotating brushes to agitate and lift dirt from the carpet fibers while the strong suction removes the loosened debris effectively. This combination of scrubbing and suction results in superior cleaning performance, making it ideal for homes with pets or children.
