 "Broke after 3 uses" 2010-08-04

My mother bought this machine, she was so happy with the cleaner until she went to use it the 3rd time in a matter of 3 weeks and it would not shoot water! She is returning it to the store!

 "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

 "cat miracle" 2010-06-29
By W. Yates (calif coast)
finally got one. it is phenomenal. of course it is a delicate plastic machine, so must be handled with care. if cared for, i can see this machine performing miracles for me for years to come. i have never had a machine vacuum so well, even dry, and it had rescued some of the worst cat pee nightmare areas imaginable. cheers to this machine. light years ahead of the old tank bissell i've had for years.

 "Love it!" 2010-06-03
By Tammy
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.

 "3 cats and 1 dog." 2010-05-20
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

This is my second Bissell this time with the heat and the reason I bought this one because the other didn't work. Save your money and buy a steam cleaner, that's what I'm gonna do.

 "Bissell Flip It" 2010-03-29

One of the best items I've bought. Cuts down the time I spend doing house work. I would highly recommend it to anyone with a busy schedule.

I should have listened to all the bad reviews, my product just leaves puddles of water on my tile and does exactly what I said, LEAVES PUDDLES, It has NO suction power on the wet side. The dirty collection was so clean, I could have drank the luke warm water out of it. I am going back to a regular mop.

 "more cons than pros in our house" 2010-01-05
By K. Pigott (atlanta GA)
Pros:

specifically for bare floors

is supposed to vacuum and heat mop





Cons:



Very small capacity (I have a 1400 sq ft home that is tile with area rugs and I empty this vacuum an average of three times if I do the entire home).



The Liquid spray option never has worked, so I cannot use the wet option at all.



Filter gets filthy very often (mind you I have two preschool children and an enormous golden retriever).



Faulty design (my machine sends all the debris up into the filter and not into the canister- this is why the filter is always needing washing and I must empty multiple times to maintain suction).



This machine may still work well for some people out there, and I do use it from time to time just as a bare floor vacuum. I may get it repaired so the mop function will work but for the cost I am thinking of just getting a more heavy duty bare floors vacuum and a swiffer wet jet- I know that that will work. I was really looking forward to a vacuum and mop combo, but this model is not a good match for my household. Maybe we just supply too much mess for this little machine.

 "Buyer beware!" 2009-10-11
By J. Rajanala
Loved the mop, the results were great (no streaks). It is tough to push but its really drying the floor. However, it only worked 2x - won't dispense the fluid. Past 30 days so can't return or exchange and repair shop is 90 min away. I now use it to dry the floors, no bang for the buck here. There are better steam mops, skip this one.

This is the second Bissel Flip It that I have owned. They work great. I use it on a floating Bamboo Floor so I don't want water left on the floor whcih happens with tradiitional mops.

The cleaning solutions for the wood floor and the tile or stone floors are terrific.
