 "Bissell Cleaner 14254" 2010-09-17
By Evelyn K. Daigre (Ponchatoula, LA)
We bought this product to use on upholstery & inside vehicles. We used it to clean the entire inside of our van which was quite dirty & it now looks like new. We even did the headliner that had fingerprints on it. Everything is clean now. It did a great job.



We had an old stain from previous owner on our bedroom carpet & had no idea what it was. Other cleanings would remove it but it would come back again after a few days. It's been over a month since we cleaned it & so far it has not come back.



It's one of the best investments we have ever made.

 "Great little shampooer!!!" 2010-07-16
By TMidget7
This was a great find for me, and has all the things I like in a cleaner. It's got a long cord & is compact enough to use anywhere. The attachments are good, though I wish they came apart for cleaning. No biggie if you rinse it after every use. I love the fact that it warms the water up... warm water always cleans better. It is actually uncomfortably hot when it sprays out, so thats great. Suction is great. No cleaner will ever pick up 100%, but it left even my fabric couch wet for only a day in high humidity. Wouldnt have any other product... I just hope it works for a LONG time!!

I bought this to clean up dirt tracked onto furniture by my dog. I found it nearly impossible to suck up the liquid sprayed by the unit. It simply soaked the fabric, and I was pretty much had to let it sit and dry. Useless in my hands, and getting returned.

 "Great Spot Cleaner..." 2009-09-14
By Atomicgerry (Fullerton, CA)
I have used the Little Green Machine in the past and bought this to use on the cars that I detail and small stains on rugs in the house. I use it for small areas which are soiled with coffee or soda. I bought it because it had a higher amperage rating than the Green Machine. I have used it and it works very well for small areas. The water heater is just OK and I find that using an external source like an external sprayer and brush to loosen and wet the stain/dirt works the best; then I use the Bissell to suck up all the residue. I like the power of the suction and it works well. The dirty water tank has a cut off feature that will "pop" when filled to the limit which is nice, so you won't overfill it. After using it I clean it out any leftover dirt or stuff in the hose, tank or fittings. I know some reviews have said that it doesn't work well or clogs, but I have found that taking a little time to clean it out when done will eliminate most of those problems. Good for smaller areas; best to use proper cleaner for the stains.

 "Sprayer Will Breakdown - Bissell Service Awful" 2010-08-03
By chaztv (the beach, NJ)
I've owned three of these Bissell models over the past four years.



The first (2006) lasted nearly 18 months and about as many carpet cleanings. Eventually the spray system broke. Since it was out of warranty it was not worth getting fixed.



The second (2008) lasted 13 months. Same story, the spray system broke.



The third, this year, last 4 months and 3 carpet cleanings. Under warranty I called Bissell, got the names of two service centers but when I called them they both told me the same thing: Bissell was not going to warrant the spray system unless it was a manufacturer's defect.



Being prudent, I called Bissell and went through a 30 trouble shooting session over the phone. It was grueling. Check this gasket, that gasket, take out the spray nozzles, get an old toothbrush and clean the sprayer, try the hose, re-seat the water tank, re-seat the soap tank, try the hose again, chew some gum, run the machine for a minute, walk on the ceiling for 30 seconds, run the machine and press the spray button for two minutes, check the hose without the attachment, spin your partner loop-de-lou, stretch the hose out, look out the window and wait for a police car to go by, run the machine and try the spray....



When I questioned the Bissell customer service person about the two service centers reporting that the spray system was probably not going to be covered by the warranty, because Bissell apparently doesn't believe spray problems are a manufacturer's defect, they stuck to the company line: we will fix a manufacturer's defect. How about a return? That's up to the store where you purchased it.



Here's my take: I expect a $200 carpet cleaner to work. I expect to fill it with water, put the tank on, fill it with soap, put the tank on, turn on the switch and clean carpet. My position is that all the trouble shooting Bissell made me go through was just to make up for bad design, bad engineering, poor quality parts, etc. This model of machine has a serious spray system issue. It obviously has several points where it fails and Bissell seems to believe it is your problem not theirs.



Don't buy this product, the spray system may last 2 years or 4 months, just to get it work is a problem even if the pump is still working, but no matter what Bissell's support system isn't there for you.



Luckily for me, a brought this product at Costco and they took it back and gave me a full refund.



Though I'm not sure carpet cleaners from other manufacturer's are any better, I know the Bissell is not an option.



Personally, I would pay more for a longer lasting quality product if and when I can find one. I think we need to stop sourcing these products from China.

 "Did A Great Job!!" 2010-08-02
By R. Funk
After doing a lot of research, I finally decided to buy the Bissell ProHeat 2x Select Pet Upright Deep Cleaner. We have four kids and three dogs, so our carpet gets heavy traffic. Two of the dogs are pups and are still being housetrained, so they are having accidents on the carpet. Assembly was easy, even though I had to call customer service to find out where the screws were. They were taped to the handle. I was looking in the box for the screws. After assembling I filled the bladder with water. Easy to take on and off, filled the seperate tank with cleaning solution and was ready to clean. I pretreated stains with the spot treatment stuff that came with the machine. Turned the machine on and cleaned as suggested, spray forward and backward motion. And then same motions without spraying. I cleaned slowly to ensure maximum cleaning. WOW! The stains disappeared. I cleaned the whole living room and emptied dirty water twice. Yes, it does leak a little on the forward spraying motion, but is sucked all up during the dry motions. I have used professional carpet cleaners and they also leaked the same way. In my opinion, the Bissell did as good as the professional equipment. Cleanup was easy. I emptied dirty water and remaining clean water out of bladder and then rinsed where the dirty water goes. I also, unscrewed the suction shield part and rinsed and used a toothpick to dig out carpet lint. I would recommend buying this machine

We are very happy with this item. We have two dogs and regularly vacuum. I was surprised how much hair this machine pulls out of the carpet, although we vacuumed over the area right before using it. It also seems that our allergies are nearly gone, ever since we used it in our bedroom. This machine was recommended to me by a friend and I can only agree.

 "Good at first, and then it died!" 2010-06-09
By Trisha A. Meyer (Cadillac, MI)
We got this bissel because my mom has an older model and we have been sharing it for a couple of years. It works great. We decided because we had pets and need one more frequently to order our own. It worked great. My husband always cleaned it up after use and let it dry and put it away. One day he tried to use it and no water would come out!! We had only used it probably less than 6 times! We are not very happy. Not sure if we will buy another if we cannot get it to work or just keep using my mom's. I have mixed feelings about it. It is a lot of money to spend to have something quit working after a handful of uses with no real explaination. All I can say is good luck!

 "Surprized" 2010-06-09
By Linda Elliott (Belfair,WA)
Bissell ProHeat 2X Select Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner, 9400 Very surprized how well this cleaner did on a white carpet. We have three dogs and live on a lake so many visitors won't wipe their feet. The carpet was horrible and looked like it needed to be replaced. There are some stains that didn't come out but I'm not surprized probably nothing could get them out, the over-all brightness is amazing. Thanks to the ProHeat 2X we may get a few more years out of it. I believe I will repeat the process once more because of the condition of the carpet not because of the cleaner. I found it to be light weight and easy to use. Putting it together was not as easy as I would have liked but once we figured it out the process went smoothly. I did not mind the small holding tank, it forced me to take a break and assures the machine stays light weight. I too have owned other machines and by far this is the easiest and best cleaner I've used. My parents bought it first, raved about it and unknowingly I bought the same cleaner.

 "Wow Are My Floors Clean!" 2010-05-23
By Mark Train
I can't understand the negative reviews that I have read regarding this machine. Mind you, this is my first heated floor steamer, so I can't compare it to some other make/model. That said, this is the best $[...] I have ever spent. I cannot believe the job this thing does.



The "out of box" experience was excellent -- four screws (? maybe five) and we were up and running. The only negative I can think to mention is that the instruction pamphlet is small and poorly written -- I could understand how to work the machine, but the eensy-weensy picture of how to store my on-board tools was useless. Luckily, it was fairly intuitive once you study the thing.



Once I had it together, I attacked an area rug -- a big one, I think that it is 10 x 12. Now, this is an area rug that has been in the living room, which doubles as our family room/tv room, and the traffic over this rug has been tremendous. Due to location, this is essentially the first rug that one walks on after coming into the house with wet shoes, muddy paws (90-pound malamute), etc. Frankly, I really only tried cleaning it for the sport--I thought the rug was shot, and I had planned to pitch it as soon as I could come up with the time and money to replace it.



Holy Toledo. This gross rug (now formerly-gross) actually came CLEAN. I frankly can't believe it. I have cleaned it previously with rented steamers, but it has NEVER looked this good after the fact. I am not sure if it is because of the cleaning product, the heat, or the fact that I was really able to take my time since I didn't have to get the machine back to the store, but this formerly-foul rug now looks good as new. Now I am mad because the rug is kind of dated, but I can't justify buying a new one!



Now--speaking of the fact that I was able to take some time since I didn't have to rush the machine back to the rental place-- YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME PATIENCE. This is not an industrial machine people, it is a home model that costs $[...] bucks. I started by vacuuming, thoroughly. Unfortunately, my vacuum is also a home model, and it didn't really pick up 100% of the pet hair, lint, etc. So, the first time I cleaned the rug with the steamer (which is more powerful than my vacuum), it left a lot of wet "lint balls" behind. Not a big deal, you pick up what you can, then vacuum again once the rug is dry. And the rug does *not* take long to dry, the machine does an excellent job of extracting the water. I was so flabergasted by the amount of dirt coming out of the rug that I ended up cleaning it a second time, after which the "dirty" water was essentially clear. Remarkable.



Then on to a rental property, where I used it to clean hard floors (tile and hardwoods). As far as I am concerned, the job that this thing did on the hard floors was worth the entire purchase price. Our former tenants were apparently lovers of fried foods, and were not loveres of floor cleaning. This is the norm. In the past, I would have spent a few hours on my hands and knees with caustic cleaners and a wire scrubby. Never again people. I sprayed the floor with some grease-cutting stuff (Lysol 3-in-1 cleaner, I think), then put the Bissell to work. Sweet Fancy Moses. I could SEE the dirt coming up in the path of the beast. And--despite my best efforts this has *never* been true--when I finished, and used a paper towel to pick up the leftover water residue, there was NO dirt on the paper towel. Not since the floors were installed have they been this clean. Maybe not even when they were installed. The first thing our now new tenants said when they came to see the property was "wow--this is the cleanest place that we have seen!" The beast did an equally good job on the hardwoods, but keep in mind that these are true hardwoods from the 1920's, and I am not sure I would feel comfortable using heat and cleaning products on genuinely fancy modern hardwoods, much less the modern laminated products.



Others have said the machine is heavy, and I guess that is true. But, ummm, you are carrying probably 5 gallons of water? Not sure how that could be made any lighter. I have found that if you carry the water resevoir separate from the machine it is not terribly unwieldly. Of course, I am a 43-yr. old woman in moderately good shape, and I am not sure if I would recommend this machine to my 81-yr.-old mother-in-law. Likewise, this is not a machine that I would want to haul out on a weekly basis. It is big, and a little messy, and if you really want to take care of it you have to give it a thorough cleaning after the fact, so plan on spending some time with it once you are finished (about 10-20 minutes if you want to do a good job of cleaning it, depending on how much gunk was on your floor).



Lastly, I am a leet-le bit nervous about the folks who have said that their machine's "plastic parts" have broken. So far, my experience has been very good, and nothing has broken or fallen off. I am feeling pretty good about my luck since I have given this machine a bit of a beating between home and the rental property, but I suppose to be fair I will have to come back with an update in 6 months when I have had more experience.



Anyway, bottom line, if you think that you are going to be purchasing an all-metal-industrial-quality steam-cleaner for $[...], I think that your expectations are a little whacked. If you want a very-good-quality home machine that does an outstanding job and will treat you well if given appropriate care, I would highly recommend this guy. My guess is that the $300-$400 home machines are probably better in some respects, but they are also $300-$400. To tell you the truth, I am so impressed by the Bissell that "next time" I might think about buying one of the more expensive ones (just 'cause I wonder how terrific the "better" ones might be), but for now I am delighted with what I have. As an aside, my sister is a clean FREAK (no, seriously, it is practically clinical) and she helped me out cleaning the rental property. She has informed me that if my house is ever broken into and the only thing missing is the Bissell, I should just send the police over to her house to pick her up.



Good luck with your purchase. I hope that my luck with the Bissell isn't a fluke, and that my positive review isn't misleading. For what it is worth, this is only the second time that I have written a review of any product, and I wouldn't have done it but for the fact that I have been so impressed. Maybe my expectations weren't very high in the first place, but this crazy machine has more than exceeded them.

By Tina k (Columbia sc)
I bought this 3 days ago, and wow. First I went at the floors with a pet vacuum. Than I attacked it with this beast.. Clean everywhere, no more stains from pets or baby's formula. The only issue I have is that if you dont have a great vacuum it will leave chunks of fur on the carpet from where you carpet cleaned. However while cleaning up fur chunks is not the highlight of my day, knowing that my carpet is now fur free is GREAT. I call this thing a beast, its big and bulky, I wont lie, but its great. I have not used the attachment yet for my hard floors, but I am sure that will work great as well

I just moved little over a week ago into a new apartment and already the carpet was looking a little dirty. Anyhow, I bought this cleaner (from kohls for $70 with my card holder discount) and I am so impressed.

I know its gross to admit but the dirty water was actually dirty after only living here for one week. Yikes. But the good thing about that is knowing that my new little bissell is doing I what I want it to do.

I own a bissell vacuum also and have always loved it. Way to go Bissell. And incase you're wondering, I don't work for Bissell, I'm a single mother of 2 young boys and a nurse.

 "Pump went bust after twelve months." 2010-03-09
By M. Combes
The unit worked decently for the first year. Never mind that the water doesn't really get hot enough and that the vacuum is iffy at best. Yes, hair matted on the brush roller and it was problematic to keep the suction plate in the front clean.



In spite of the problems, the unit worked fairly well at cleaning until the machine stopped pumping out the cleaner/water combo just after the warranty ran out. This unit is easy to take apart, if you have incredible patience and the time to take out a zillion screws; a good memory of where they belong would help. I saw the pump and realized that it was too small for the length and height of hose and the power it needed to keep the water flowing through quite extensive hosing. It was spitting out a little bit of water here and there before the it finally let out its last breath.



This is my first and very last Bissell unit I will ever buy. The pump belt is not easy to install. (I was once had to replace it). For me, Bissell manufactured a product with a very short life span.

LITTLE GREEN MACHINE: What a great product. My carpeted stairs and my upholstered furniture look fabulous. Have two dogs and a cat who go out often, in our fenced in yard, and with all the wet weather we've had, the red dirt is a nuisance. The animals track it in all over the place, including the furniture. Have this sweet little machine at arms reach, practically, to refresh where the pets have dirtied, constantly. Perhaps when this winter weather and rainy season end, the poor little machine might not be put to use as often. It'll certainly need a rest then.

 "Don't buy it. It's a maintenance nightmare!" 2009-12-21
By b.w.r.
This 'review' is based on 18 months of owning this machine, yet sadly, on only a half dozen uses.



This machine must be cleaned more thoroughly than I could have possibly imagined in order to maintain its functionality. That's right, just in order to maintain functionality, one must clean the heck out of this machine after each use. To be clear, if you fail to adequately flush the liquid cleaning lines, this will result the need to repair the machine, either professionally or by yourself. The good news is that the 'repair' can be performed by anyone with a spare 30 minutes on their hands whom also possesses a basic knack for mechanical repairs, a screw driver and a paperclip. It is my opinion that a cleaning machine must not require that more time be devoted to maintaining the functionality of the machine than one should spend using it to perform cleaning tasks. I didn't purchase this unit hoping to embark on a new small machine repair hobby... I wanted to clean carpets and upholstery.



Imagine having to flush your transmission fluid every time you returned from taking your car out for a drive? Or imagine having to thoroughly clean out your dryer's exhaust line after every single load of laundry? If these scenarios seem like fiction, let me assure you... if Bissell manufactured your car or your clothes dryer, they would be your new reality.



To its credit, this machine worked marvelously right out of the box. As a 'single-use' machine, you won't be disappointed. Buy these machines as often as you like... then toss them out rather than re-using them to avoid frustration. For those of you looking for your $100 to go a bit further. Look for another machine.



The second time I attempted to use this machine, it would not feed the liquid cleaner down the spray line. I had only spent 15 minutes flushing the cleaning fluid lines... apparently not enough time. I took it to be repaired at a local vacuum shop. They fixed it, I used it again and then I spent 20 minutes flushing the lines before putting it back on the shelf in my garage. After a few months, I tried to use it again and guess what? I had to have it repaired again. The $50 repair bill was cheaper than buying a new unit, so I caved in and had it repaired so I could use the it once more. This time I spent 30 minutes flushing the line after using it to clean a small area rug before shelving it again for another few months. Surely I would be able to use it a fourth time without having to deal with the same issues as before, especially after devoting 30 minutes to flushing the lines and cleaning the machine? Wrong.



Mad as could be and utterly sick of paying for the repairs, I followed instructions I found online for clearing the Little Green Cleaner myself. 30 minutes later, I was back to using the machine without having to shell out another $50 for the repair. 5th time.... same issue. Unbelievable! This time I opted to NOT spend 30 additional minutes flushing the line after using it, because I would likely have to spend 30 minutes making a repair before using it a sixth time. That was a mistake, as I couldn't clear the line this time around. I ended up tossing the Little Green Cleaner in my Big Green Garbage Can.



I can wholeheartedly recommend that you do NOT make this purchase.



As a less expensive alternative to purchasing this machine, I want to encourage you to consider the following: buy an ordinary plastic spray bottle (about $2) with an adjustable nozzle, an inexpensive carpet and or upholstery brush (about $5 each) and a 5.5HP wet shop vac (about $60). Mix your carpet/upholstery cleaner as directed in the spray bottle.. spray the affected areas and brush soiled areas using a circular motion. Then use the wet shop-vac to vacuum up excess water. Pat dry with a clean soft towel.



This is the new method I use and I must say I couldn't be happier with my new wet/dry shop vac.

I hated the Little Green Cleaner. It requires more maintenance than it provides use. Instead, buy a cheap plastic spray bottle, a carpet brush and a minimum 5.5 horse-power wet shop vac. Spray soiled carpet/upholstery areas with cleaner mixture and brush in a circular motion before vacuuming up excess water.

I had a couple of stains that I thought would never get out but with this little, easy to use, guy they came out in a minute or less! I am so amazed with this product. Definitely a good choice for anyone who might have old stains/pet stains.

I bought a green machine about 5 years ago for pet stains etc. Yhis worked well to get out the stains however through use it stopped sprayin. I purchased anothert one and used it twice.well it broke as the sprayer continued to spray and their was no suction. My parents had on my brother borrowed it for his stairs and it also broke. My parents did not use their machine much at all. I WILL NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT EVER AGAIN. I am going to try the spot Bot and hope I have more luck!
