As others have said - wet dry vac with attachment maybe better
Have one does a good job has been going for at least 8 years now.
But a $20 upholstery attachment from amazon hooked up to a wet and dry vac and a 5lt pressure sprayer from Bunnings does a significantly better job. I haven't used my Bissell the last 5 times I've needed to spot clean or a full carpet/seat clean.
When you say pressure sprayer, do you mean one of these?

And an upholstery head like this one? (I’m sure I can find a cheaper one)

Then just attach to my existing wet/dry vacuum? What mixture do you put in the sprayer?
Couldn’t you just spray the solution onto the spot, rather than use a pressure sprayer and risk getting it everywhere?
Am also keen to know the answers to these questions, TIA
Me too! About to go out to Bunnings in the morning just for the pressure sprayer recommendation. I have heard there's a spray/hose attachment that pairs with your typical dry/wet vac that lets you spray too before sucking with the same hose. I didn't really understand the post though..
I own both. Vax is much better in my opinion.
Do these drench under the surface of what you’re cleaning? Like for a couch would it be soaked/damp underneath the surface?
Soaked, no.
Damp, yes.
Its water sprayed onto fabric.
Fabric is absorbant.
Also second for the Vax. Has pretty good reviews too!
I own the Bissell but it doesn't come with a hard-floor/tiles tool and doesn't have a self-clean function which the Bissell actually needs because the hose does get gunky and doesn't clear itself after using. I haven't tried it but I suppose I could just suck up a small bucket of water to force alot of liquid in the hose to try and "self-clean" the hose per-se.
Would it be a pain to use this to clean car seats? (referring to the VAX cleaner)
Note that these are definitely just for spot cleans - they're tiny. Borrowed one when we first moved in and doing the carpet in one bedroom took forever and not very well.
Hahaha, RIP.
The tank size on this will barely get a small room damp enough to actually be cleaning anything.. 😅
Is it the old model?
I thought the new model is purple colour.

or
It's the 'automotive' version, so essentially it's the same but different. This one has a hose that's roughly double the length of the one you have linked.
Purchased through the Good Guys Commercial this week for $190
You can rent them out, going for $25 a day on marketplace
Got something similar a few months ago. Was super excited to clean a few things. Buying it was the easy part. Finding the time to take it out of the box and using it is another story.
