[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've never owned a carpet cleaner before - it always just seemed like something that only neat freaks owned - but then our dog ate something toxic and got sick.. like, really, really sick. She made a huge a huge mess of the carpet in our house, to the point that there was no option but to get the carpets cleaned one way or another. After some quick consideration we opted to buy a carpet cleaner since they really aren't all that expensive in the whole scheme of things. One of my wife's friend (who is one of those previously mentioned clean freaks) owned one of these ProHeat units and was really excited about it, claiming it was the best carpet cleaner she's ever owned. After some quick Googling of carpet cleaner reviews, the data lined up, so we ordered one up. It arrived exactly when they said it would, and assembled really quickly - probably less than 6 minutes, with pretty minimal need to look at the directions. That afternoon I got the furniture moved, carpet vacuumed, and got to running the carpet cleaner... and I gotta say, I was pretty impressed! It made really quick work of the mess(es) from the dog - and was very quickly proving to me that we don't clean enough. Things dried pretty quickly overnight, and the carpet still smells nice and clean. I'm almost excited for the next time we clean the carpets... it's a weird feeling. Cleanup of the unit wasn't too bad either. Since we have a dog and a cat in the house, there was some hair removal involved - the included tool makes that pretty easy. I did end up lifting the whole unit up into the sink to rinse out the base of the unit that can't be removed. In hind sight, I wish I would have just run a tank of just plain water through on a spot of the carpet (keep in mind, I wasn't reading instructions at that point, so it may have even told me to do that). But even how I did it, it's not like I'm dreading using the unit because of cleanup. P.S. - the dog survived and is doing fine after a couple days at the vet.

As the owner of an older model Bissel rug cleaner that after many many years, that I just decided to update. I must say I love the newer version with the rotating heads on the front. Excellent idea when you have a dog like mine. I own two dogs and one sheds so bad that you can vacuum and her hair falls off so much that we find hair everywhere no matter what. So having the new rotating heads helps with all of her hair. Plus I love the two water containers. You know that your dirty water is in the bottom and you can empty it directly when it is full. Such great design features on this model. And it cleans so nice. My older baby is 17 now and the accidents are starting to happen. This makes it easy to clean up and does an excellent job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been perfect for cleaning all my area rugs. It's light and easy to use around my entire house. Leaves my rugs looking brand new, even in the highest traffic areas. Also didn't take a rocket scientist to pull apart and clean everything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so much better than those bulky and expensive rental shampooers. It was easy to use and the pet hair was no obstacle for it. The ProHeat 2X Revolution is a great investment for any pet owner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this is a good carpet cleaner - you can even use the 30 minute quick clean on Chinese area rugs but don't use on them if they are dark colors as they start to show blotches! I would have given it a 5 star had it not leaked - even though I cleaned it and dried it over a vent, when I went to put it away, it still leaked water all the way down my hardwood stairs. Also, the brush was still hard to clean properly even after reading all the instructions. Wish it would last longer. My previous model had issues with the heater and because it was approx. 5 years old no parts were available!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Prior to buying my ProHeat 2X Revolution, I owned and used a Hoover SmartWash carpet cleaner. I gave away the Hoover and decided that, rather that buying a new Hoover, I'd buy a Bissell and compare the two. Having now cleaned all the carpets in my house with the new Bissell, here is my comparison assessment: Shipping time (I bought each product directly from the manufacturer): Both arrived faster than I'd anticipated (less than a week after ordering). 1 point each on a 1-point scale Assembly: Both were very easy (under 10 minutes for each). 2 points each on a 2-point scale Ease of use: I found the Hoover's system slightly more intuitive and simpler. Hoover 3 points; Bissell 2 points on a 3-point scale Cleaning quality: Both worked well, but the Bissell was better (and cleaning really is the bottom line). Bissell 5 points; Hoover 4 points on a 5-point scale. Cleaning the machine after use: The cleaning process are different, but both are reasonably easy. 2 points each on a 3-point scale. Totals: 12 points each. Conclusion: You won't be dissatisfied with either product. The choice comes down to ease of use versus cleaning quality. The Hoover is slightly easier to use, but if you want the best possible clean, choose the Bissell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a sweet old dog, and a berber carpet in my den that opens to the back door. Carpet powder and a regular vacuum aren't enough. Big rental cleaners are overkill. The ProHeat 2X is perfect. Powerful vacuum suction, and the dual agitator brushes do a great job getting dirt and water up. Hope to get many years of use out of this.

I recently purchased the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution. We have 2 small older dogs and I needed something to clean up accidents. I read several reviews on this machine and 2 others. After careful consideration I choose the Bissell ProHeat 2X. I used it 3 times now and I am thrilled with the results. I am also thrilled that Bissell helps animals with every purchase. It is an easy machine to put together, and to use. Its to terribly heavy like my old machine. I recommend this Carpet cleaner to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cleaner pulled lots of dirt out of old carpet, using max clean setting. The machine leaks a bit when turned off. Placing it on a towel kept floor dry. Easy to fill and empty. Pet odors (cat urine) not completely gone in the worst spot, but much improved. Elsewhere, pet odors were removed completely, using the deep clean setting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is very easy to use, lightweight and efficient. Machine is easy to clean, extremely easy to operate, and love the rotating bristles (feels cleaner than when using old carpet cleaner). My only complaint is I struggle to put plastic cover over brushes correctly, it takes me a couple tries- will not suck water if not attached correctly
