So easy to use and so quick to dry
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having 3 kids under 5 AND a cat AND carpet in the majority of my house has definitely left us with some spots that don't look like the rest of the carpet, no matter how much we scrub. We also borrowed a carpet cleaner from a family member but it didn't get the stains out, just seemed to pick up more dirt than our vacuum cleaner. We are now a week into using our Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam, and we have almost cleaned our entire house with it! It's super easy to use and the steam is a game changer. It really picks up then stains and the stick! My absolute two favorite things are how fast it drys (as there's no way I could keep my kids off something for 24 hours!) and how great it smells! My house feels so fresh and new after each room we use it in! I also love how easy it is to use on upholstery! My kids have child size furniture and they wipe everything on it, and this cleaned it up looking like new in no time! My husband thinks it's so easy to use that he wants to do rooms just for fun! But when your kid or pet has an accident, it's so fast to pull it out and spot clean as well instead of getting the bucket of soapy water and scrubbing to no end. It's a life saver, especially because my husband volunteers to do it-that has never happened before in the history of our marriage for scrubbing or vacuuming!
Great carpet cleaner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam. I have pets, and keeping my rugs and furniture clean can be a total pain in the behind. This makes it so easy. The cleaner does a great job of using the water system to clean up stains, but it also is fantastic at drying the area very quickly. It sucks the water back up into the vacuum very effectively. Unlike other cleaners, you don't have to stay off your rugs for a day or two to let them dry. I am even more happy about the upholstery tool. I have never had an effective way to clean my couches, and now I finally do. I feel like my furniture was so gross before, but now I can actually use soap and actually CLEAN it. It is such a good feeling!
Great for a busy household
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've actually been really happy with the cleaning power of the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam. We're currently potty training at our house so the rugs have needed a few extra cleanings lately, and it's done a great job getting the messes out. It handled some sticky spots really well too. I like the steam feature because it feels like it's giving the carpets a deeper clean. The self-cleaning cycle is also really easy to use, which I appreciate because I don't have a lot of time to deal with complicated cleanup. Overall it's been really helpful to have aroun esp with little kids and the their mess.
Stubborn Stains be Gone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] By far the best carpet cleaner we've ever used! Here are all of our pros: 1. It works! The cleaning power is top-notch. We've had a horrible coffee stain on our light carpet for months and went over it with our old cleaner about five times. The stain never even faded. After one use with this machine, the stain is nearly gone. (I missed a spot in my “after” photo, but you can clearly see how much darker that area is compared to the rest of the stain!) One more pass and I'm confident it will be completely gone. It honestly saved us from an expensive carpet replacement. 2. Real steam cleaning I love that it uses real steam. Not only was it more effective, it also felt cleaner. Because of the steam, it doesn't need a ton of cleaning solution- the steam really is its superpower. 3. The self-cleaning cycle Magic! Our old bulky machine was a pain to clean, which honestly made me avoid using it. This one has a self-cleaning cycle that keeps everything fresh - no gunky buildup or gross, stale water sitting in the machine after use. 4. Ease of use The directions are straightforward and easy to follow. There aren't a bunch of unnecessary bells and whistles- it's simple, intuitive, and gets the job done. 5. Much quieter than other machines Previous cleaners we've used were so loud I'd have to have my husband take the kids outside so we wouldn't hurt their ears. This one is quiet enough that I used it while my daughter was napping! To top it all off, this cleaner actually looks chic, which I love. As a (sometimes clumsy) mom of two messy, fun-loving kids, this machine has quickly become a staple for maintaining my sanity and managing the everyday chaos.
Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam Review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great carpet cleaner! The steam function worked well to pick up stuck-on toddler-created messes including- vomit, play-dough, marker, crayon, blood, spit up, and potty training accidents. It also did a fantastic job cleaning cloth chairs that go with our kitchen table. All food stains that those chairs had accumulated over the past 4 years were completely removed by this product! I loved that it uses real steam to lift the stuck on messes and felt that it was giving my floors, carpets, cloth chairs and recliners a total reboot making them look good as new. The self cleaning cycle was very easy to use and saved lots of time and effort at the end of the cleaning process. The instruction manual was clear, easy to follow and included lots of helpful diagrams. It was very satisfying to see the dirty water tank as you are cleaning. Getting a visual of all the stuck on dirt motivated me to want to use the product more. It also confirmed my distrust of rented products of this nature. I would not want to use the same machine on my own floors that another person had in their home. The only mildly difficult step was reassembling the filter after cleaning the machine, but a Youtube search on how to cleared up the confusion and after doing it once, I will know how to reinstall it again.
Hydrosteam a lifesaver for parents
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam impressed me from start to finish. The first room that I cleaned with it was an enclosed porch with cream carpet. It lifted stains from shoes that I haven't been able to get up in years. The directions were clear, and assembly was as simple as snapping a few parts together. The next room I did was my children's playroom. Even though we don't allow food in there the Hydrosteam did bring up the food they've managed to get stuck on the carpet with ease. The biggest perk that I want to stress the most is that the dirty water reservoir is much improved, easy to clean, with a removable top. When I emptied it, it had brought up so much dirt that there was actually a half inch layer on the bottom of the container that rinsed out quickly. I was tickled to see the steam billowing out from the sides of the machine and I truly feel that made a large difference in the cleaning ability. Usually when writing a review I try to list some pros and cons so that people know all of the good and bad but I do have to say that I found no cons while using this product. It's been a lifesaver and down the road if this ever needs replacing (because with two toddlers we clean messes often) I would absolutely replace it with the same model.
Works on multiple carpets tough stains and more
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam, and I'm honestly really impressed with how well it cleans. It works great for everyday messes, especially with kids, and made a noticeable difference in how fresh and clean my carpets look. We recently had a flood and have been cleaning everything up, and this has honestly been a lifesaver. You can clearly see the difference on my installed carpet—one side versus the other is noticeably cleaner. It really helped bring the carpet back and remove stains that I didn't think would come out. We also have multiple carpets and rugs with different colors and textures, and it worked well on all of them. You can see the difference in the before and after, and the dirty water tank was shocking—it pulled out so much grime, which made me feel like it was truly deep cleaning and not just surface cleaning. For sticky or stuck-on messes, it does a really good job. The steam feature helps loosen everything up so it's easier to remove. Some tougher spots needed a couple passes, but overall it handled them much better than a regular carpet cleaner. The steam function is one of my favorite features. It says it heats up in about 35 seconds, but honestly mine was ready even faster. It's basically plug-and-play—super easy to use and I didn't even need to look at the instructions. I also really liked the attachments for smaller or harder-to-reach areas. We used them on tougher spots and edges, and they made a big difference for detail cleaning. You can also use these attachments on furniture, which makes it even more versatile. Cleanup and maintenance are simple. The tanks are easy to remove and rinse, which makes the whole process quick after you're done. Overall, I think this is a great machine for anyone dealing with everyday messes or bigger cleanups. It's powerful, easy to use, versatile, and really saved us time while getting our carpets looking clean again.
Must Have
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam is a must have if you have pets or kids! It was so easy to set up and the directions were so helpful. I can't believe how well it cleaned my carpet…so much dirt was pulled from the carpet that I didn't even realize was there! I also love that you can actually see the steam so you know it is really working. It also comes with a carry case for all the extra attachments. I am usually not one to be excited to clean but the Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam is making me want to steam clean every room!
This one is a game changer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam is a game changer. I have never used a carpet cleaning machine that cleans the carpet as well as this one does. I had some week old salsa stains on my carpet from when my two year old decided to have chips in the living room. I spent a long time trying to get them up by hand, this machine was a miracle worker. The stains stood no chance and came up so easily and quickly I was kicking myself for not investing in a carpet cleaner years earlier. I love that it has a large clean water capacity. There is nothing worse than constantly having to refill while in the middle of cleaning. I also really appreciate the upholstery attachment. We have two dark blue fabric chairs that are starting to show dirt marks and I'm thrilled that I can clean both my carpets and my chairs with the same thing. I love the steam power function. It really seemed to help lift those stubborn stains right out of the carpet with little effort on my part. Overall this cleaner is just so easy to use and surprisingly easy to clean much to my delight. I abhor cleaning machines and devices after use because it's always so tedious and difficult. Not this one. It's a game-changer. Overall I highly recommend the Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam. It will save us so much money in the long run with keeping our carpets looking professionally cleaned at a fraction of the price.
We're thrilled to hear how well the BISSELL Revolution HydroSteam handled those tough stains and that the steam and upholstery tools have been so helpful.

The future vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As both a teacher and a parent, I'm always looking for ways to make home life a little easier and a little cleaner. Anyone who works with kids all day knows that messes are simply part of the job description — whether they happen in the classroom or at home. Between muddy shoes, spilled snacks, craft projects, and the occasional pet accident, our floors go through a lot. Recently, I tried a steam vacuum cleaner, and it has quickly become one of the most helpful cleaning tools in our house. With kids and pets running around, it feels like there is always something on the floor that needs attention, so having a machine that can handle everyday messes efficiently has been a huge help. Overall cleaning power: I was genuinely impressed with the overall cleaning power. It does a great job lifting dirt, pet hair, and debris from carpets and rugs, especially in high-traffic areas like our entryway and living room. Instead of having to go over the same area multiple times, the suction and steam combination made it easy to clean floors thoroughly in one pass. Sticky or stuck-on messes: One of the things I wanted to see was how well it handled the types of messes kids tend to leave behind—juice spills, snack residue, and other sticky spots. It actually tackled those stuck-on messes much better than I expected. The steam helped loosen the grime so the vacuum could lift it away without me needing to scrub or pretreat the spot. Steam power function: The steam power function was one of my favorite features. I really appreciated that it uses real steam because it helps break down dirt and odors while reducing the need for harsh chemicals. As a parent, that's something I value since kids and pets spend a lot of time playing on the floor. The steam also seemed to refresh the carpets and make them look brighter after cleaning. Self-cleaning cycle: Another feature I really liked was the self-cleaning cycle. After using the machine, being able to run the cleaning cycle made maintenance incredibly easy. It helps rinse out the internal parts so everything stays clean and ready for the next use. The process was simple and only took a few minutes, which is great for busy households that don't have time for complicated upkeep. Overall, this steam vacuum cleaner has been a great addition to our home. It handles everyday family messes, helps keep floors looking fresh, and saves time when it comes to cleaning. For families with kids, pets, or just a lot of activity in the house, it's definitely a tool worth having. It makes tackling messes feel much less overwhelming and helps keep our home feeling clean and welcoming—even on the busiest days.
