Bissell 2080 Upright Steam Cleaner. Do you need a vacuum in addition to this product?

Be careful about the quantity of soap you use. These toy cleaning machines are famous for leaving soap in the carpet that becomes a sticky residue. This residue attracts soil/dirt like as magnet. The traffic lanes will re soil promptly creating a nightmare for the homemaker. Many users become former users because of this, and park the toy in a nearby closet. Pro's do all the future cleaning with powerful equipment providing tremendous suction, super hot water, and know how and experience to do a super job. Citric acid is used in the rinse water to lower the PH of the carpet and help remove pre spray cleaning solutions. The pro's always vacuum or have the carpet vacuumed before they arrive at the job site.

Is your 2080 ALSO a vacuum cleaner. Is is a dual-purpose machine? Prior to using any Steam Cleaner to wash and clean your carpet, you MUST vacuum very good to remove as much debris as possible from the carpet fibers. The vacuuming is critical to maintaining the Steam Cleaner itself, so as to not suck up the larger particles of debris into the cleaner filters and return water entry sluices.

Consult your directions/instructions document to make sure just how to use this Steam Cleaner effectively. I have used a Bissell Upright Steam Cleaner for years. Mine has given me great service, but I follow the instructions, exactly.

It really is tough to compare the two, I agree that Wade is a better leader and motivator than Lebron and actually had higher PPG than Lebron. Wade obviously has a weaker team surrounding him so it is very impressive how far they've come from last season. As far as the MVP is concerned you can't take the literal meaning of "most valuable player". The NBA tends to give the award to the most valuable player on one of the top few teams in the league, and the Cavs had an incredible record this season, so by the NBA's standards Lebron deserves the award over Wade. I do think that Wade is more valuable to the Heat than Lebron is to the Cavs, because without Lebron the Cavs would still be a playoff team, but without Wade the Heat would be in last place like last year. That said ...both are amazing players and both are deserving of the award.
