BISSELL has announced a large-scale recall of its Steam Shot OmniReach and Steam Shot Omni handheld steam cleaners, affecting more than one million units in the U.S. The recall was issued due to a potential burn hazard involving the product’s detachable attachments.
The Bissell HydroSteam carpet cleaner is one of the few products on the market with a true steam clean function, which immediately sets it apart from other carpet cleaners for deep cleaning.

So naturally, we bought one with our own money and put it through all kinds of evaluations.
