Works Great
I used my new Bissel ProHeat 2X carpet cleaner for the first time yesterday and was thoroughly impressed. First off. It was packaged securely and was very easy to assemble. Only 2-3 easy steps if I recall (I put it together 2 weeks ago). Only took about 5 minutes to assemble. The machine itself seems very well made and sturdy. The handle is aluminum which I feel is a plus as I have had 2-3 carpet sweepers in the past in which the handle eventually broke. This will not get used as much as a sweeper but I was happy to see that the handle is aluminum and not all plastic like the conventional carpet sweepers I’ve used, and broken, in the past. The machine is very easy to operate with very few settings. You basically fill the tank with hot water and some cleaning solution (2 samples provided), set the cleaner to the preferred cleaning mode (I chose the “Max Clean” mode) and off you go. The machine appears to have very good suction power. I tend to “over-do” things a little and applied a little extra water/cleaning solution to some high traffic areas. The vacuum sucked up the dirty water really well and the carpet felt only a little damp. You can see the water drawing up from the nozzle. Needless to say I was a bit surprised at how dirty the water was in the dirty water tank. I had no idea that my carpet was that dirty…. and I’ve been told that “my house is always so clean.” I live alone, I have a dog that does not shed much at all, and the carpets are in a place that most traffic goes through hardwood floors before reaching the carpet… so most dirt is “knocked off” by the time it reaches the carpet. I assumed that my carpets were pretty clean. I vacuumed the carpets really good before using this carpet cleaner. The machine kept pulling up small clods of dirt/dog hair/clothing particles/carpet fibers that must have been worked down into the carpet. I thought this was very impressive…. although I did have to stop and clean the machine a few times so that I would get the maximum performance from the vacuum… but to see what it pulled out of the carpet… it was worth the little effort it took to clean the nozzle and the brush rolls. I always thought the sweeper got all of this sort of stuff but apparently these things get ground down into the carpet over time. My carpets look brand new. All in all this was very easy to set up, operate and clean up when finished. You’ll be amazed at the dirt you pull out of your carpets… I know I was… and I feel much better about how clean they are today. I’ll be sure to use the machine occasionally to stay on top of the dirt and because it was fun to use. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the dirtiest I would say that my carpets were around a 5… and the dirt I got out was amazing. So… some touch-ups once in a while will be a big help and there is an Express Clean mode just for that purpose . I highly recommend this carpet scrubber.

New Life for Old Carpet
Between years of dirt brought in by kids and messes made by pets, I thought my only real opinion would be to replace the carpet in my house with new carpet. Boy, am I glad I bought & tried the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Carpet Cleaner first. The difference between how dirty the carpet was and how it looks after cleaning it is night & day.This machine did everything it said it would do and the features did not disappoint. Good power, good suction (so good, it pulled cat & dog hair out of the carpet that multiple vacuumings had left behind) and the hot water stayed heated all the way to the bottom of the tank. The dirty water tank was a breeze to remove to dump as was refilling the clean water/cleaning solution tank as I worked.Things to remember:- donât use this machine like a vacuum – take your time and move the machine slowly (like, just faster than a snailâs pace) as you are suctioning up the dirty water from your carpet. Youâll pull out more dirt the slower you pull & push the machine back & forth. Your carpet will also dry faster.- if you have pets, you will probably want to pour your dirty water through a strainer as you pour it down your sink, to prevent a clogged sink. The suction was strong enough to pull a lot of pet hair out of my carpets, along with the dirty water, that my vacuum cleaner left behind.- the brushes continue to rotate when you are using the hand tool, possibly causing more wear on the carpet under the spinning brushes. To counter this, I propped the front of the machine up a bit, allowing the brushes to spin without being in contact with anything.- when cleaning the machine when youâre done, have the machine on your kitchen tile floor (or outside on concrete) as some water will drain/leak onto the floor. Itâs easier to mop up from there and youâll protect your newly cleaned carpet.- be aware that using the âmaxâ setting will release more liquid from your clean water tank than the other two settings, thus soaking your floor & getting more cleaning solution deep into your carpet. I moved the machine fast over the floor while dispensing the hot water/cleaning solution, gave it a minute or two to soak in to the fibers to loosen dirt. Then I suctioned the floor thoroughly by moving the machine super slow to suck out as much dirt & water as possible.- use the Bissell line of cleaning solutions. I used the PET PRO OXY Urine Eliminator Carpet Formula along with the Pet Boost to remove the evidence of my previous senior dogâs accidents. My carpets look & smell awesome now.- tip: I wore gallon-sized baggies on my bare feet while cleaning. I could walk on the wet carpet without transferring dirt or oils back onto the cleaned carpet. I could also feel the temperature difference between where warm water still needed to be suctioned up and the cooler areas that I had finished working on.So in conclusion, this is the best carpet cleaning machine Iâve ever owned/used and easy enough to use that regular cleaning wonât be something Iâll be dreading. Feel confident if you decide to treat yourself & your carpets to the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Carpet Cleaner.

Good machine, but easy to break
This machine does normal carpet cleaning very well. We have an extremely shed-y Australian shepherd and a huge expanse of beige carpet (which we inherited from the previous owner). I vacuum it twice, then clean it with this and it’s generally fantastic – easy, fast, not too onerous.Dog hair does get into the bristles and into the innards of the machine. The provided cleaning tool works quite well with a little practice.The biggest failure is on stairs – we have 2.5 flights, all in that same damn beige carpet. There’s a hose and attachment you can connect, which will let you spray cleaning solution on the carpet, scrub it, and then vacuum the solution back up (same principle as the main device). This works OK, but it’s a ton of work – you really have to scrub. So I’ve tried using the main machine to do the same job. Still a lot of work lifting the machine from stair to stair and holding it level while cleaning.That technique does work, and better than the attachment. HOWEVER, after just 3-4 times doing it that way, the joint that holds the machine upright broke, so now it won’t stay upright – just falls over as soon as you let it go. This is due to the machine being made mainly of somewhat flimsy plastic parts. The wheels, too, are no longer firmly attached, and this is after a total of maybe 6 full cleanings. It’s still under warranty so it’ll be fixed free, but CAUTION to future owners that this machine is more delicate than it ought to be. Stronger parts, including metal wheel hubs and a metal joint to keep it upright, would make it better.

This is unacceptable. You do highlight that it has an American Adaptor and that it will not work in Australia without a convertor. Please note a convertor is completely different to an adaptor. It’s not really fair that you do not highlight at the time of purchase. It is however hidden, under product reviews. So many customers saying the same thing. Shame on you!

Loved the product but why are you selling the incorrect voltage on a Singapore site. It blew up the steam cleaner, the plug and tripped the electrics in the house. Dangerous and illegal under the sale of goods act. Am waiting for a response.
