BG10 carpet extractor

The product in detail

The Bissell Big Green BG10 combines a motorized DirtLifter brush and two separate motors for washing and suction. Separate tanks keep clean solution apart from wastewater. Forward and reverse cleaning and an adjustable folding handle support a maintenance routine for extraction-compatible carpet.

Listed specifications

Supplier specifications. Performance varies with configuration and conditions of use. Follow the supplied product’s manual and label.

Surfaces and compatibility

For carpets and textiles whose fibres, backing and installation permit spray extraction. An approved upholstery or stair tool may extend the applications when suitable for both machine and textile.

The tanks are listed at 6.7 L each and the cord at 25 ft. The page compares BG10 with 86T3, but confirm the exact reference and attachments before buying parts.

Preparation and use

1. Dry vacuum, identify stains and clear the area. Test colourfastness.
2. Inspect the cord, seals, hoses, filters and tank levels.
3. Select detergent, temperature and attachments according to the textile, chemical and machine instructions.
4. Use consistent passes. Avoid unnecessary rewetting and perform the specified recovery passes.
5. Monitor tank level and foam during operation. Allow complete drying before returning the area to use.

Care and storage

After use, empty and rinse tanks, clean jets and remove fibres from the head. Flush the circuit as instructed, inspect seals and dry components as prescribed before storage. Unplug before maintenance.

Limits and things to check

Higher pressure alone does not guarantee better cleaning: recovery, flow, textile and technique also matter. Weak suction may result from a full tank, misplaced seal or blocked hose. Drying time cannot be guaranteed by the model alone.

Equipment, accessories and options

The supplier lists a 9 ft hose and 6 in spot tool as optional. The associated set has reference B30G3.
