* Though there is a removable nozzle, it is not mean that you can access to the the roller by removing the nozzle. Because there is another layer under the nozzle which is not detachable without the help of tools. To clean the brushroll, you will need to flip the machine.
If you want to remove the brushroll, you need to use a screwdriver.

What’s the Best Portable Carpet Cleaner for Stairs, Upholstery, Auto Seat Stains Removal?

When trying to remove spots and stains from carpeted staircase, upholstered furniture, car interior, etc. , one of the most suitable machines to use is a carpet cleaner.
You can use a full size carpet extractor with a hose and a hand attachment to tackle those messes, or use a much smaller and lighter portable one to get the job done.

Generally speaking, a big size carpet washing machine, such as the Bissell Big Green BG10, is much more powerful and suitable for whole room carpet cleaning while the portable lightweight machine is a better option for removing small stains and spots.
Tough some big carpet extractors come with attachments, such as a stair tool and a stain scrubber, to tackle different cleaning jobs, you probably would not like to drag a bulky machine which weighs over 40 pounds to clean the few stains on the sofa, let alone carry the big guy up and down stairs to clean the steps and landing.

If you are are interested in buying a portable spot and stain removal shampooer for rugs, rv interior, upholstered surfaces, you can take a look at the Bissell SpotClean Pro 3624, it is one of the best selling and top rated portable carpet spot removers on the market.
