We use a carpet cleaner several times a week, thanks to having 3 occasionally messy cats. For years we've used a large stand-up cleaner with a wand attachment, but it was so noisy, bulky, and difficult that we really needed something smaller. After reading reviews we chose this cleaner, and I am glad we did!
My main concern was that the smaller cleaner wouldn't do as good of a job as the large stand-up we have, but it is just as good, no question. It has excellent suction and the brush it comes with really works. For normal cat spots on the carpet it's just fine. It hasn't worked well on tomato sauce or really liquidy cat spots (yuck), but I have to tell you the stand-up unit didn't work on those spots either! You'll need to use some cleaner that soaks overnight and elbow grease for the really tricky stains.
It's better than the stand-up cleaner because it's much easier to clean out when we're done -- our large unit gets all kinds of nasty inside the tank and there's no way to take it apart to clean it. Yuck! The Bissell however can easily be cleaned out using running water, and the brush is detachable and cleans up well. The Bissell is also better than the stand-up unit with a wand because it is smaller, less noisy, and there is no cord to get in the way. The charge lasts a good long time. Just last night we used it for nearly 15 minutes with hardly any loss of power.
We don't exactly use it the way the instructions say, though, so I feel for accuracy I should explain what we do: We use the cleaner (and we really like the Little Green it came with) in a spray bottle, diluted per instructions. We fill the tank on the back with hot water only. We then spray the spot on the carpet with hot water from the SpotLifter, spray with the diluted cleaner, let sit for a minute, then then use the Bissell SpotLifter to spray hot water on it again and suck up the solution from the carpet. It works great!
My only complaints (if you could call them that) are that the return tank doesn't hold much, and when it gets too full it sometimes splashes out some of the dirty water from the side vents. Once you realize that's what's going on you can control it, but it is a little annoying. Also, the spray from the tank occasionally gets blocked by bubbles or something and it won't spray when you first start the machine.
This is one of the best products we've purchased in a long time. I highly recommend it.
Update: As of March, 2011, we're still using this cleaner and it still works well. After 2 years of use, the tank is pretty dirty inside and it's difficult to clean. I've soaked it in hot water with bleach and with detergent, but there is still grime collecting in the harder to reach spots in the tank. The best way to get rid of these spots is to get a little hot water in there and tilt the tank until the water sits on those grimy spots, then shake vigorously. It knocks some of it loose. So far the battery is still working, although it does not hold a charge as long as it used to, which is understandable. I've found running the battery down (but not all the way) helps in the charge. For the price, this has been a terrific purchase.

Good little SPOT machine
I like it! I bought it because I needed something small for the next year before I move overseas. I bought it primarily to clean my car upholstery. It is good for small spots. It is OBVIOUSLY not an all over cleaner. A pleasant surprise when it arrived is that the charger is rated from 100-240v which means it can be used overseas with an adaptor.
