Looks to be a decent discount price, a bit lower than previous posts for the Bissell Spot Clean AutoMate. This model seems to be exclusive to SCA, but looks to be the same at the standard purple Bissell SpotClean just with a longer hose. Was $249.99.
eBay have the Howard Leights for $40 nowadays.
There are a lot of fake Howard Leights being sold
Oh damn, that's crazy.. 😑 I paid $50 or something for my pair from a post here from Amazon.
They actually mis-delivered the first pair (probably to a neighbour) and within a couple days, they had already sent out the second pair (probably with firm instructions).. 😅
leave it outside of the car and use the 2.2m hose to clean the car? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Given that these are just vacuum cleaners with a sprayer, even on special, the SCA offering is rather expensive compared to other rather good and well-rated options:
Vax $167

Kmart $99

Thanks for sharing! I already have a proper large Karcher, but I've been looking for a used small Bissell to quickly clean our cat's vomit from the carpet. The Kmart $99 option is just perfect!
Would you recommend me to buy the Supercheap or Kmart one for my car?
Same question. I am considering whether to pay $99 for Kmart or double the price for the SCA one.
I got the Vax but if I knew about the kmart one when I got the Vax, and seeing how simple the devices are, I'd go for the kmart 100%
The actual job is done by the cleaning liquids, for which I mix water + cloudy ammonia + ethyl alcohol (methylated spirit) *. Cleans anything out like there is no tomorrow
* because I refuse to pay a premium for a pre-mixed cleaning solution
What’s your ratio for your mix, care to share :)
How's your experience with the vax? Kmart one seems to sold out and needing one soon so if the vax is any good I'll just go to bunnings and grab one.
@Heybargain: No problems at all, like I said, these are very simple devices. We cleaned an entire large (now white again) carpet with it as well, no issues. I'd buy again
I'm keen to have a cleaner to do the entire sofa, and car seats seasonally. Would this Bissell be good bang for buck?
If I had the chance I wouldn’t buy one of these again and I have the uprated model.
Better off using a wet/dry vac with an extraction head from AliExpress with a spray bottle + drill brush.
What's crap about your uprated Bissell? Or is it just to expensive?
It’s good to see this and variations at around this price - for awhile they seemed to not have the same discounts as earlier years.
Recommend investing in a good pair of ear protection as these can get quite noisy within the confines of a car and do some hearing damage.
