Steam Power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really impressed with the cleaning power of the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam. It pulled up a lot of hidden dirt and made my carpets look noticeably fresher after just one pass. It also did a great job tackling sticky, stuck-on messes that normally take extra scrubbing. The steam power function is a standout feature. I love that it uses real steam to help loosen tough spots and give a deeper clean without relying heavily on chemicals. The self-cleaning cycle was simple and convenient to use, which made cleanup after using the machine quick and easy. Overall, it feels like a powerful, easy-to-use carpet cleaner that handles everyday messes and tougher stains really well.
Great versatile carpet cleaner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mother of two toddlers, two dogs, and two cats, messes are a constant in my house. Everything seems to come in twos here—including the accidents! The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam Carpet Cleaner has become an essential cleaning tool for my home. Since owning it, I've cleaned up a tea spill, multiple dog accidents, a high-traffic hallway, and our playroom. I feel like I've tested nearly every feature this machine offers. High-Traffic Hallway and Play Area I started in our playroom using the Steam Pretreat mode on a mystery sticky area (juice? glue? we have no idea!). At first, the pretreat mode didn't completely remove the stickiness. However, it seemed to loosen the mess, because when I immediately followed up with SteamWash Max mode, the spot came right out. Goodbye, mystery sticky spot! The rest of the playroom has older carpet with a beige-and-black mix that already looks a little worn. After cleaning the entire room with the HydroWash Max setting, I noticed a big improvement. The room smelled fresher, and my kids even seemed to sneeze less. I was very happy with the results. The high-traffic hallway was the real test. Our family wears black socks a lot, so you could clearly see the traffic pattern on our white carpet. The carpet isn't new, so I wasn't expecting perfection—just a cleaner look. While cleaning, I was honestly amazed watching the dirty water being suctioned out of the carpet. Seeing all that grime in the tank was incredibly satisfying. The hallway ended up smelling fresh, and the black trail was completely gone. I was thrilled with the results and feel confident I could refresh all the carpeted bedrooms in the house when I have the time. Spot Cleaning I also used the brush attachment on my white carpeted stairs after spilling bright green matcha tea and dealing with a dog urine accident. Attaching the hose was very easy, and it was long enough to reach the top of the staircase in my split-level home. The extra-long hose meant I didn't have to move the heavy machine, which was a huge plus. I sprayed the areas with the nozzle and let the solution sit for a few minutes before lightly scrubbing. Then I turned on the machine and suctioned up the stains. -The dog urine came out immediately. -The matcha tea stain needed a second round of treating, scrubbing, and suctioning, but it came out very clean. Overall, I was very pleased with how easy and effective the process was. Cleaning the Machine Cleaning the machine itself is actually one of its best features. Emptying the dirty water tank is straightforward, just like with most carpet cleaners. What stood out to me was the red filter below the tank, which can be easily wiped clean with a rag. With two dogs and two cats, you can imagine the amount of hair it collects—even after vacuuming beforehand. The brush head also pops out easily, can be rinsed in the sink, and snaps right back into place. After spending so much energy cleaning, the last thing I want is a complicated machine cleanup. These thoughtful features make the process quick and manageable. Honestly, this convenience alone makes the Bissell worth it.

It’s great to know the hose tools and easy cleanup features are making a difference in your busy home. If you ever need tips or support, our team is always here to help at support.bissell.com.
Powerful hydrosteam vacuum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Are you looking for a cost-effective alternative to hiring a carpet cleaner? The Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam carpet and upholstery cleaner is an excellent option for tackling carpet cleaning tasks yourself. This powerful cleaner is surprisingly lightweight, making it suitable for homes and smaller offices. The setup and cleanup process are straightforward, provided you read the instructions and give it a try. However, it's important to note that the water supply runs out quickly, so you'll need to refill it after cleaning a medium-sized room carpet. After using the carpet cleaner, your home will be filled with a pleasant, clean aroma. The hydrosteam feature effectively removes any visible stains, leaving your carpets looking newer and whiter. While I do have cats who run through occasionally, I have 3 kids who make plenty of messes. The carpets and rugs had old vomit, shoe dirt, and worn stains. The steam feature adds an extra layer of cleanliness to the carpet, making it feel more thoroughly cleaned. Cleaning up the machine is simple. I recommend rinsing everything thoroughly and setting it to dry immediately after the cleaning session. Overall, the Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam carpet and upholstery cleaner is a valuable tool to have in your cleaning arsenal for yearly cleaning or unexpected spills.
It is a workhorse
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have throughly enjoyed every aspect of the Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam machine so far. Delivery, unpacking and assembly couldn't have gone smoother. Everything is so well labeled on the machine itself along the way that I only picked up the manual to ensure I didn't miss anything prior to turning it on. The design is sleek and appealing, but doesn't compensate on functionality. I was impressed with the different brush attachments for the upholstery cleaner and excited to see a tool included for ease of cleaning the machine. I have owned a carpet cleaning machine in the past that did not include this cleaning tool and trust me when I say that little plastic tool is invaluable!! With 2 dogs, an almost 4 year old and one on the way, I was able to fully put this carpet cleaner to the test and will continue to do so for years to come. My entry way rug was the first to clean. There have been deep oil-like spots in it for quite some time and honestly, I have been casually looking for a replacement. Not anymore! The stubborn spots are practically unnoticeable unless on your hands and knees looking for them. I got these results within 20 minutes of unpacking the carpet cleaner and probably would have done so sooner without little child interference. Not pictured: I have also treated my daughter's bright red lipstick out of my cream colored couch and paint from a sun catcher, dog vomit, and Diet Coke out of my carpet. With all these incidents listed, I must add that while I enjoy the steam feature, our recent messes have all been solved with the SteamWash Max (II)” setting. Though, slime has just entered our lives after much protest, so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the steam pretreat comes in handy. I also enjoyed the self cleaning cycle of the tough stain tool. It gave peace of mind before storing it after cleaning the lipstick off my couch. The last thing I'd want is for leakage from the tool to somehow transfer the next time I clean a stain. My one piece of advice is to make sure you read the manual prior to removing the dirty tank! Everything else was so effortless that I got a little cocky and didn't review and released the tank right onto the floor. Luckily, the machine sucked it right back up and I did a quick clean over it again. No fault of the machine at all, it was totally on me! Overall, I highly recommend this product. With a little one on the way, it's going to be a major part of my nesting phase. Emptying the dirty water down the drain is so gross, yet incredibly satisfying that it is no longer on the surfaces that my little one is going to be toddling around on.
Expected more
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What did you think of the overall cleaning power? How well did it tackle sticky, stuck-on messes? What did you think of the steam power function? Did you appreciate that it uses real steam? What did you think of the self-cleaning cycle? How easy was it to use? I really wish I could say that I loved this carpet cleaner. I currently own a Bissell and it outperforms this model in its overall power. With this model, a lot of water is left behind and took about 48 hours to dry. It did remove stains and sticky stuff that my kids had left on the rug and the couch really well. The steam power function was also a plus. I thought it was great that it used real steam to clean. This cleaner was also VERY easy to clean. The self cleaning cycle did a really great job of flushing the dirt and debris from the brush roll and inner components of the machine. Overall, this unit cleans pretty well. I just wish it had more power to suck up the water it is leaving behind.
Thanks for sharing your experience, AbithaMarie. We’re glad to hear the machine lifted stains and that the steam feature and self‑cleaning cycle worked well for you. Leaving behind too much water usually means the dirty water tank or brush roll needs a quick cleaning, or the machine may be moving too slowly across the carpet. If you'd like help improving water pickup, our team can walk you through a few simple checks at support.bissell.com.
Strong carpet cleaner with some serious power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, this is a powerhouse of a carpet cleaner! From strong suction to a variety of useful attachments, this cleaner has a lot of great qualities that most shoppers are looking for. Especially for pet owners, it can be hard to find a cleaner that can clean and remove pet hair with the same veracity. The machine was very easy and intuitive to set up and I was ready to clean in a matter of minutes. The machine itself is beautiful with the rose gold and black color scheme. I will say, this is a mammoth cleaner! It is actually quite large which does make it quite heavy too. However, I feel like the weigh helps it push deeper into the carpet and get a deep clean. A bonus benefit of the cleaner that I have not experienced before is that the deep bristles not only pulled up embedded pet hair but also helped revitalize my matted shag carpeting. I had no idea how much dog hair was deeply embedded in my carpet! I do feel that the suction pulled out more water from the short carpet than my long carpet, but it seemed to work just as well. The steam power is great because I feel it sanitizes more than solution and water alone. I like being able to see the steam coming out because I know it is working. The hose attachment makes it easy to tackle small upholstery messes. However, I would say that the crevasse attachment tool is a bit cumbersome and the spray is hard to control when using it, so I would probably only use that when absolutely necessary. Cleaning up is a breeze. Between the self-cleaning feature, the cleaning tool, and the simple dirty water basin, I was cleaned up in under five minutes. Overall, this machine is wonderful and has the power to clean the way that I have been looking for. I really feel like my carpet is clean, sanitized, and pet hair free after using!
Thanks for the great review, Hannah! We’re glad to hear the BISSELL Revolution HydroSteam delivered the deep cleaning power you were looking for and made setup and cleanup easy. We appreciate your feedback on the size and attachments and will share it with our team. If you ever need tips or support, our Consumer Care team is always here to help at support.bissell.com.
Powerful Time Saving Clean for Busy Moms
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a busy mom, I don't have time to baby a cleaning machine—I need something that works fast, works well, and doesn't add more to my to-do list. The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam has honestly been a game-changer in that respect. The first thing that stood out to me was the overall cleaning power. Between kids, snacks, and constant foot traffic, my carpets see everything. This machine pulled up dirt I didn't even realize was still there, and it left the carpet looking noticeably fresher after just one pass in most areas. It feels like a deep clean without having to go over the same spot a dozen times. Where it really impressed me was on sticky, stuck-on messes—think juice spills, dried food, and mystery spots that have been there longer than I'd like to admit. Normally, those take serious scrubbing (or I just ignore them), but this handled them surprisingly well. I did a quick pre-pass on tougher spots, and they lifted much easier than with past cleaners I've used. The steam function is probably my favorite feature. Knowing it's using real steam—not just hot water—gave me peace of mind, especially with kids and pets around. It felt like a more hygienic clean, and I could actually see it breaking down grime. It's one of those features I didn't realize I needed until I had it. And as for the self-cleaning cycle—huge win. After I'm done cleaning, the last thing I want is to spend extra time dealing with the machine itself. The self-cleaning feature was simple to run and saved me from having to manually rinse everything out. It made the whole process feel much more manageable. Overall, it fits perfectly into a busy household. It's powerful, practical, and doesn't require a ton of extra effort—which, honestly, is exactly what I need.
The Secret Weapon Every Mom of Three Needs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of three, two boys and a girl, I've come to accept that messes are just part of our daily life. Between the spills, the "mystery" sticky spots, and the general high traffic, keeping my carpets clean often feels like a losing battle. I've tried several cleaners before, but the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is truly in a league of its own. It's a top-tier machine that has earned a permanent spot in my cleaning arsenal. Powerful Cleaning with Real Steam The overall cleaning power honestly blew me away. My carpets didn't look that bad to the naked eye, but this machine proved me wrong very quickly! I was truly embarrassed. The most impressive part is the HydroSteam Technology. In the past, I've always had to do at least two passes to get a deep clean, but the addition of real steam cut my work time in half. The steam allowed the cleaning solution to penetrate deeply into the fibers, making it incredibly easy to lift those stubborn, dried-on messes the kids leave behind. It felt like the machine was doing the heavy lifting for me, rather than me having to scrub. Easy Maintenance & Self-Cleaning One of the absolute worst parts of owning a carpet cleaner is the dreaded cleanup of the machine itself after the job is done. The self-cleaning cycle on this model is amazing. It's quick and easy to use, and it makes the post-cleaning process so much less of a chore. It really keeps the machine fresh and ready for the next "oops" moment. A Small Trade-Off If I had to find one "con," it would be that even with the wonderful self-cleaning cycle, you still need to dismantle and hand-wash a few parts to ensure everything is perfectly clean and dry for storage. It takes a little extra time, but given how much time I saved during the actual cleaning process, it's a very fair trade-off. Final Verdict I would give this product a 5/5. It looks, feels, and performs like a professional-grade tool. For any parent dealing with the chaos of kids/pets, and carpets, this is a must-have. It turned a daunting chore into a quick win for our household. Thanks to the Stellar Product Panel for providing me with this product to test and review!
Such an upgrade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! The Bissell Hydrosteam is truly impressive! I've used a lot of upright and handheld carpet / upholstery cleaners and this one outperforms all of them. I LOVE the steam feature. I was able to presteam areas of my sons' bedroom rug that had slime smashed into the carpet and it came right out after. The clean water / soap container and the dirty water container are both a great size. They hold a lot without being overly bulky or hard to carry. On the regular cleaning function, this machine was able to make my area rugs look fresh and bright. The handheld attachment lets me use it on my couches and for spot treating and it works great. Best of all, it is a breeze to clean this machine. The containers have wide openings to empty them that also allow them to dry quickly. The front panel over the roller brush also pops off easily to clean lint and dirt out easily. And the handheld attachment has a self-cleaning mode to get all the lint and dirt out of the brush head. I love that this machine, which is the same size as my previous upright carpet cleaner, actually replaces 2 machines because of the handheld attachment. Plus it has the steam feature which is an amazing upgrade that makes it even more effective.
Best carpet and upholstery cleaner out there
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After paying a carpet cleaning company to clean my carpets for me several times a year I'm sooo thrilled to now have the Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam. I'm someone who gets the ick real bad from dirty floors but also someone who made the decision to get very light carpet (with little kids in the house no less!). I needed a real solution because hiring the pros to do it several times a year was not working with our budget or lifestyle. This Bissell has be obsessed, it's so easy to use and the results are intensely satisfying that even the mattresses in my house are getting a good cleaning these days! The machine is smaller and lighter than the cleaners you can typically rent and I LOVE the steam feature. I cleaned my carpets without and cleaners, only water and steam and I'll let the photos speak for themselves on how amazing it works. I used the hose and other attachments which doesn't support steam and will be adding photos of my dining room chairs that I used to be so embarrassed by, but now they look 100x better! The blue stain is acrylic paint and the green is a permanent marker. I used to dread cleaning up after cleaning but this Bissell has a self cleaning feature to clean the brush and it makes that part so much more tolerable. I do with it came with the docking station to be able to use that feature but it was worth the cost to me! I wish I could add more photos of all my before and afters! I reallly love this cleaner! I've had others and this is the best one I've owned and no more pro needed!
