Ok guys, first I believe this is in the right forum so here goes- I made a thread awhile back asking for opinions on a carpet cleaner model as my Hoover Steamvac is on the fritz. So I kept procrastinating (and got a job at Sears! I'm so happy:) ), and then on one of my days off I took my mom out and we stopped at a flea market. Well I came upon a booth that had a couple of clothes racks and in the corner was a Bissell Big Green Clean machine. I almost passed it up because I was not really looking at this point because I had almost finished going through the store. Anyways, I got it out and it was in PERFECT condition. I am like 100% sure it was never used to clean carpets and maybe used twice to dry vacuum.

So I put it back to hide it as I had not recieved my paycheck yet. Well on Monday my mom and me went back to see if it was still there and sure enough it was. So I got it home and all of the attachments were in a bag inside the cleaner. I swear these tools were never used. The dust brush had no hair or dust on it the same as the upholstery tool. The carpet cleaning heads brushes had no hair or dirt in it either.

I think the only tool missing might have been the floor brush. The little siphon for the pump was in there too. So I put it together and started cleaning carpets! (I forgot you have to use that little siphon too!)

I am very happy with this as when I lived in Illinois my grandparents had one and I remember every year around December before my grandma and me decorated the house for Christmas my dad would get out the Big Green and shampoo the carpets. So this brings back a lot of memories.

P.S. I was going to post pics but I'm clueless as how to get the pics from my phone (I have no digital camera), to the computer but all in all I'm real excited to have this.
 
If your phone comes with a USB charger cable, connect that from the phone to the computer. Dependent on the phone you have, (mine is a Samsung Galaxy Ace) it should come up with a link on the phone screen asking you if you want to connect the phone to the computer, which should then be accessed> once the phone appears up on your desktop, click on the folder and access the camera or DCIM folder which holds all your photos.

Though my phone is great at photo quality etc, one thing I've noticed is that the Samsung photos come out to the side, not elevated properly, so I always just open the photo on the desktop when I've accessed the photo and then take a screen shot. That way I can mess about with whatever settings my Preview tool box has on my Mac instead of messing about with the original photo.

Hope the info helps!
