Got this as an exchange to replace a bulky and poorly designed carpet cleaner from another manufacturer which rightly ought to stick to making no-nonsense vacuum cleaners…

Pros:
—Easy to assemble out of the box.
—Low storage footprint.
—Attachment hose has all the nozzles integrated into the hose itself so no fiddly or leaky valves and swapping the attachment is simple and quick.
—clean and dirty water tanks are quick release and easy to fill, no disassembly of the main unit required! Both have carry handles however the clean water tank one may pose problems for those with weak or arthritic fingers.
—Easy to push about and maneuver
—power rotary brushes in the main unit
—hauls up tons of the water so the carpets dry quickly
—manufactured in partnership with a lot of mainstream domestic cleaning products so no difficulty sourcing more shampoo
—Actually left our twelve year old rental carpets sparkling!
—did not spray water up the wall.

Cons:
—as mentioned, clean water tank carry handle isn’t ideal for everyone
—due to its bulk, the main cleaning head doesn’t get right up to the edge of the carpet (however the attachments are reasonable substitutes)
—edit: not sure if this is just an effect of the ‘max’ setting, but the unit is incredibly loud. Not something you want to use of a weekend or evening if you share walls/floors with neighbours!

Very well worth the money and a good investment!

This is my 3rd Bissell carpet cleaner and probably the best yet. It cleans well -as did my other 2 – but what makes this stand out is the ease of which to actually clean the machine after. Previously I have had to try to remove hair and debris from the cleaner heads and all areas where the water and solution flow. This has been difficult but with this model all the necessary parts are removable and access is much easier. Also it is lighter than my previous model so easier for me to use.

WOW, WOW, WOW! Our elderly dog has been poorly this week and we had to make the decision to hire an industrial cleaner or buy a GOOD carpet cleaner. Not disappointed we purchased the BISSELL. Started in the home office, despite regular hoovering, surprised how much dirt was extracted. Moved on to the bedroom where the carpet is relatively new and again given a new lease of life. And everything smells amazing. Easy to assemble, clear instructions on how to use and also easy to dismantle to clean. All great and cannot wait to use upstairs on an older cream carpet. 5 STAR REVIEW – WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND

My sons two very large dogs arrived with him at the end of August, and due to relationship breakdown, the dogs and he didn’t leave. One of the dogs had a monumental accident (or two, or three) one night and hit about every carpeted room in my home. This wasn’t just a straightforward accident. I have Merino wool carpet throughout!!!! You can’t imagine my horror and dismay at the problem I was confronted with. For years I’ve had a professional carpet cleaner come to my home at least once a year – he had recently visited 🙁 I ordered the Bissell and was relieved at the results. It took about 4 cleans and there’s still some staining to be sorted (hopefully) but the carpet cleaner was not only easy to assemble and use but effective.

We have 9 cats who are free to come and go as they please in any weather, and live in a bungalow with all surfaces carpeted except the kitchen and the bathroom. I used this product to thoroughly clean carpets in the lounge, dining room and bedroom. It made a brilliant job of cleaning all the carpets and I was particularly impressed with the twin rotors.

Great carpet cleaner leaving the carpet virtually dry. The only downside is that it is very heavy if you need to get it up or down stairs

Having the opportunity to compare this with the equivalent (although more expensive) Vax, I can say that this is a far superior machine in all respects. It is so much easier to clean after use, it comes with accessories, build quality is on a different level and it is quieter (but still quite noisy). They have broadly similar cleaning performance so that is not a factor. I suspect that results nay be largely dependent on the cleaning solution – we use the Bissel shampoo which is very effective although a tad pricey. Drying time will obviously be affected by the setting used and the number of ‘wet’ passes; we found that a medium-pile carpet, cleaned with the middle setting and only two passes, was more or less dry within 4 hours in an unheated but ventilated room on a cold, late September day. Would I recommend this machine? Most certainly.

I bought this for a deep clean of our rented flats carpets.after two and a half years of my work boots,daily life taking its toll,and our cat back and forth,it was time for a deep clean.over a couple of days I gradually washed each rooms carpet.when my partner came home…she was impressed with the results.the machine was easy to use.on deep clean it uses considerably more water,so many empties and refills are required,depending on the state of your carpets of course.express clean uses less water,which is ideal if cleaned on a regular basis. You can literally see it sucking up the dirty water out of the carpet.not used it on any soft furnishings yet,but highly recommend this product.expensive ,but worth it.

I like the Bissel ProHeat Revolution Pet Pro Upright Carpet Cleaner as, though the noise level is high, the cleaning properties are extremely good. After-use cleaning is far better and much more straightforward and less time consuming than with the Vax Dual Power model that I returned having failed to clean it out thoroughly – leaving fluff in inaccessible places within the suction head. Have only tried carpet cleaner and the stairs cleaning accessory as yet as we do not have pets – bought this model for the additional accessories and improved facilities of access when cleaning brushes and suction head after use. So… noisy but thorough cleaning action – good guarantee too! Only reduced star rating for ease of use to four as it is on the heavy side to carry up and down stairs!

Last week I cleaned our carpets with our old Vax carpet cleaner. I was having difficulty with the on/off switch, so realised it was time to start looking for a new machine. Having read many reviews I opted for the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution. As one of our animals was sick on our hall carpet the day after I had cleaned the carpets last week, I went ahead with the purchase of the Bissell and set to work on the hall carpet. Not only did it remove the sick stain totally, but the amount of dirty water from the rest of the carpet made me decide to clean the other carpets again too. Once again, the dirt in the collection tank was significant. Clearly this machine does a far better job than our Vax ever did.
The thing that I also really like about the Bissell is that it can be properly cleaned after use, which I never managed with the Vax, however much I tried. Not only do Bissell supply a small flexible tool to remove debris from the suction spout, which works brilliantly (especially if you have long haired animals leaving fur deposits in the carpet pile), but also the waste water tank has a ring at the bottom that can be unscrewed so that the whole of the mechanism inside can be removed and the the tank and floats properly cleaned and dried.
I am really delighted with this purchase, and feel it does a far better job than the old Vax.

Having 4 dogs who run riot I didn’t exactly have high expectations- but I am impressed. My carpet looks almost new – 95% of the stains from my rescue dogs In the last 3 years have gone and there is new life in the pile in my carpet . Use water as hot as you can – and for drying go over and over the carpet . Then use a normal hoover . An hour and it’s pretty much dry . I used bissell carpet cleaner for pets . It works .

After owning a ‘top-range’ Vax for some years it suddenly wouldn’t stop dispensing water, so we had to replace it.

Having never heard of Bissell I was somewhat reluctant to change brand, but the reviews won me over. Boy am I glad they did!

I’m amazed. It completely outclasses the Vax. The photos show just how much grime the Vax left behind that the Bissell has picked up.

For anyone that’s new to carpet cleaners, don’t expect professional-grade results. Those machines cost thousands and often have a separate, vehicle mounted pump. This is the best household variant I’ve seen.

Cons:
* Smaller water tank (managed a full room on Ultra Mode though).
* Very noisy (much louder than the Vax).
* Struggled to find the power button on first use (mostly my fault!).

Pros:
* The small tank means it’s much lighter.
* The suction / cleaning power is incredible.
* So much easier to clean.
* The range of attachments to comes with is amazing.
* The free shampoo smells lovely.

In summary, give it a go, you won’t be disappointed.

Love it I had a vax but didn’t wash the carpet has good as this one and it comes with very handy tools for the stairs, could do with more power in the suction but just go over the part you wash slowly and a couple of times to get any excess water carpet dry around a hour but does depend on the thickness of the carpe

This carpet cleaner was recommended to me by a friend. I needed a cleaner to sort my carpets out after three elderly dogs and a puppy! Once I pieced it together it was easy to use. I did find the picture diagrams a bit tricky but got there in the end. I bought the pet cleaner to go with it but it came with three small sample bottles, which would each do one small carpet clean. The carpets are now CLEAN!
I cleaned a woollen carpet 4 metres by 4 metres and it took three fills of the water/liquid mixture. The machine is noisy and slightly heavy. I used the turbo Max program as my carpets needed a thorough clean. As the carpet was a high wool mix it took a while to dry but I had the windows open so after a few hours it was fine. When I had finished cleaning, it took a while to clean the bits of carpet that were sucked up, mainly because of the lack of instructions on how to clean the machine. There is a long thin grey tool and I found the hammer looking side easier to reach the fluff in the base. Now I have used it once and cleaned it up, it will be a lot easier next time. All important, the carpets look very clean so very pleased. I will try the upstairs carpets which aren’t wool, next.

I have used this a few times now, and am very impressed by it. It’s manoeuvrable, easy to clean and the stair/upholstery cleaning attachments work very well.

My son had his carpets professionally cleaned at 80per room. I went over the same carpets with my Bissell within a few weeks and the water in the tank was pretty murky… we were both surprised particularly as they are low use bedroom carpets that had been covered with rugs after the earlier deepclean!
In fairness the more expensive machines are great for large areas, and with larger tanks will need far less frequent filling/emptying of tanks.

I have cleaned the equivalent of 3 houses worth of carpets so far, so compared to paying someone else to do it, I believe it has more than paid for itself.

With two large dogs, two rabbits and kids, I was looking for solution to bring back the colours brightest of my carpet. I had this carpet just for one year and was hoovered daily. I was supprised when that carpet cleaner filled the tank with so much dirty water after giving a try on a deep cleaning mode. It took a while before the carpet dry completely. But on overall, so far im happy with this purchase. My carpet looks again like new. I would definitely recommend it.

Very easy to put together. Creates lots of very dirty water when cleaning, but hasn’t removed a few animal stains (even with the Bissel animal pre-treat spray, oxy boost formula and the specialist animal stain cleaner solution). Despite what the cleaner claims, it takes a good 4+ hours for the carpet to dry after cleaning. The instructions are pretty terrible at telling you how much water + suction to apply – there is only a diagram that just has a back and forth arrow for both applying water and drying. Does this mean you go up and back a strip once with water, and once without? No idea. In the end to save drying time I did a strip with water in one direction, then back, and over again without.

This thing is very loud. Very loud. There is no way to escape how loud this thing is.

– easy to refill water and shampoo.
– easy to discharge unclean water.
– very very very noisy, I have to put ear muffs when using it.
– because of its shape, it is difficult to clean floor edges.
– if you use deep or max cleaning, it will need a long time to dry.

This is just as good as professional cleaning and worth buying seen as you will pay more for your carpets to be professionally cleaned than you would for this alone. Yet of course this you only have to buy once. My carpets downstairs are extremely old and where badly stained between the previous tenants, the decorator who was constantly in and out of my home with dirty boots on and then my daughter spilling things. The only downside I can say is that it is heavy especially filled with water obviously bit kind of to be expected. I have ehlers danlos syndrome also so others may be a lot more sensitive to it especially as I have dyson cordless. The suction on this is amazing, I did carpets upstairs that are new and despite hoovering before doing so it still pulled up a lot of dust from them. Bissels cleaning products on their own are amazing with this even more so. The oxy boost especially. That will get out any stain on it’s own let alone added to the machine. The picture above is as said both extremely old and new stains. The picture was taken after only going over it just once, the second time it come out even better. The dirty water tank makes you cringe, as above I cleaned the new carpets upstairs and even the colour of the water from that was horrible despite looking clean. It’s worked on all kinds of stains and marks both known and unknown. The quick function is great and even the deep clean function doesn’t leave the carpets that wet . This is also a good buy for those with allergies and asthma, my daughter suffers from breathing issues constant airway infections and also needs inhalers, nebuliser and prednisone often but cleaning the carpets has helped a a lot with her symptoms. I will add more photos after the next time I use it as I forgot to take the photos of the other carpets. It actually becomes extremely addictive to do once you start cleaning.

This machine worked really well, I could not believe that my carpets could have held so much dirt. The suction is great , it sucked most of the cleaning water up, so the carpets were dry in no time. The machine is noisy, it can be like standing near a jet engine. the machine is really easy to empty and fill and is cleaned up after use in minutes.
The only thing that really irked me was that the front cover keeps popping up whenever it comes near to a solid object, not too much of a problem just an inconvenience.
It is well worth the money that I spent. I would recommend this machine, expensive yes, but why waste your money on a lesser machine.

Fantastic cleaner until it developed a fault, I will come to that later.
I live with 11 rescue rabbits, 0ne of them was very sick before I adopted him so he often pees on the carpet, this is a side effect from his often fatal illness, the others all use their litter trays. I bought this especially because of him, there is no way I was going to confine him to a small area, he had a hard enough life in the past so deserves to live out his remaining years in luxury.
Before I ordered this I purchased a Vax but that left the carpet so wet that when it did dry it smelled like a damp mouldy rag so I returned it. This cleaner was so much better initially but after several uses the wheels started to loosen causing negative camber resulting in the suction head not making contact with the carpet so it didn’t suck the water out as it should. It looked like a “stanced car” (Google images of one if you don’t know what I mean) I contacted Amazon who instantly offered a refund, I wanted an exchange because I like the product but they don’t have any for sale at the time of writing this. I wondered if this was a known fault and that was why it was no longer stocked.
I checked the Bissell website for an alternative or updated model and spotted they are selling this model, I phoned to ask if it was a known fault and I would be likely to have the same problem in the future if I bought one. I was told it was a fault with a batch but they have made changes to the wheel fitment so it shouldn’t happen to future models, Bissell themselves had been out of stock for some time while this issue was sorted.
I almost forgot to add how easy it is to clean the brushes and suction head after use, to me it’s important to put it away clean rather than covered in filth sucked up out of the carpet, the Vax I had in the past was near impossible to clean after use.
You will not regret buying this, it’s fantastic apart from the fault with a certain batch, all future models have this issue fixed, it also has a 5 or 6 year warranty so the company stands by you if you get a problem. I have now ordered one direct from Bissell as Amazon don’t have stock

Excellent product. Easy to assemble and use, not much heavier than a standard vacuum cleaner. Ours has a slight leak from the water tank. Only a trickle but a slight disappointment for a brand new product.
Cleans very well and pulls lots of dirt from the carpet (surprising amounts) but does need refilling very often. Our living room is only around 150sq ft but requires three refills for a thorough clean.
Had a Vax Dual Power and this is far more powerful.

I bought this as a replacement for out old Bissell machine, which had started leaking after about ten years of good service. Having recently acquired a puppy I can attest that this machine is worth its not inconsiderable weight in gold or, at least, silver. I am beginning to suspect that somewhere deep in the inner workings of this machine there is a reservoir of concentrated dirt which is slowly injected into the dirty water tank. My house cannot be this dirty. An excellent cleaner.

Does an excellent job of cleaning the carpets which I need to do fairly regularly as we live in the country and have 2 Labradors who seem to attract mud! It’s by far the better cleaner that I have owned and is enhanced by the fact that it is so easily cleaned unlike some of my previous ones. This is important when you have 2 Labs that apparently don’t shed hair but give off fibres of love! well trust me they give off acres of the stuff. Reasonably easy to clean the stairs too with the attachment. More than happy with the purchase.

I received this Carpet Cleaner on (30/3/18) quickly fitted it together & today (Sat 31inst) I tried it for the first time.

I found it to be excellent. My previous Carpet Cleaner (different manufacturer) did very well considering I had used it as a re-conditioned machine for about 5 years. However it started to throw out water and appeared not to clean the carpet as expected.

This BISSELL ProHeat 2X Revolution Carpet Cleaner on it’s first try performed excellently. The carpets were very clean after use. Certainly the clean water tank may not be the largest one on the market. This means re-fills may be fairly frequent, but I do not see this as a fault.

I would rather have a cleaner that cleans the carpets excellently rather than one with a large clean water tank but a less efficient cleaner.

This is not the cheapest carpet cleaner on the market, but for me I think to date it is well worth the cost.

In addition it provides an excellent handy set of tools for cleaning furnishings but I found extremely useful the simple to very effective tool for removing the fluff from the base section of the machine.

Finally I would thoroughly recommend this Carpet Cleaner.
