This machine is such an improvement over my old Bissell ProHeat. The other worked well for many years and cleaned up a lot of pet messes over those years. But it was so hard to keep it clean. This new machine is very lightweight and so easy to clean. I do have a question though. I didn't read in any of the instructions to go back over the carpet with clean water (no cleaning solution mixed in). How does it not leave soap residue in the carpet if you don't rinse the carpet with clean water? I know from talking to many professionals that if soap residue is left in the carpet, it just picks up more and more dirt and spots come back sooner.

I've had this carpet cleaner for only a couple of years. I am cleaning it properly but in the last few try I've been using it, the cleaner hasn't been doing what it's supposed to do. I'm having trouble with it sucking up the dirty water and it doesn't have the capacity to shampoo the carpet anymore.

I was so fortunate to have received this carpet cleaner in return for my honest review. I have 2 children , 2 dogs, and 5 cats. I am constantly cleaning due to spills, dirty shoes, an occasional accident, fur balls, and more. My previous carpet cleaner honestly just didn't do the job and I would be left with cat hair that looked like tumbleweeds. The joy of long haired cats! I loved how easy it was for me to put this together! I also was happy that the cleaner was lightweight, had an extra long cord, and was so easy to clean when I was finished. It has a wonderful attachment which allowed me to clean my living room furniture and dining room chairs. What a difference!! I am so happy with this product. If you are a pet owner, mother, or homeowner, you really could benefit from this Bissell. It has a clean shot pre-treater for stains which really helps make things easier...for spills, fur balls, etc. About the BISSELL® ProHeat 2X® Revolution™ Pet Pro Carpet Cleaner: CleanShot Pretreater - targets and attacks spots and stains. 2-in-1 Pet Upholstery Tool - vacuum in dry mode and remove spots and stains in wet modes Includes a trial size of Professional Pet Urine Eliminator + Oxy Formula EZ Clean Brush Roll Cover - makes clean up quick and easy Dual DirtLifter Power Brushes combined with Heatwave Technology work to remove embedded dirt and stains from your carpet

We have white (well they were 20 years ago) carpets in a heavy traffic area, two small dogs, one big dog with an illness which cause gastric issues, and kids. I have the rugs cleaned professionally twice a year and also own a small bissell portable system. Not to mention I have used every spot cleaning product on the market for pet urine pet stains and high traffic. While wondering around a box store recently I started checking out different upright cleaners. I did more research and the hubby decided to go get one...worst case I return it. Holy cow what a great job. First use I did just the express clean and am thrilled! Easy to use, I really took my time with slow paces, didn't move any furniture, and only did a hall and connected office. The system without water etc in it is about the same weight as my dyson cleaner. For the cost (which is 50% less than having the pros come and do a mediocre job I complain about) it's a dream! 45 min later it's dry and we are thrilled. Eager to do the deep max clean. I am certain if we kept up with regular cleanings the rugs will stay so clean

I love the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Carpet Cleaner. I have 2 cats so my carpet gets dirty and I have to shampoo my carpets pretty often. This carpet shampooer left my carpets very clean. I love the added features as well. There is deep clean mode for really dirty carpets and the express clean mode which will leave carpets dry in about an hour. There is a 2-in-1 upholstery took that removes pet hair in dry mode and removes stains from upholstery in wet mode. There is also the clean shot pre-treater which pre-treats stains while cleaning. I also like the EZ clean removable brush roll cover. It makes cleaning up very easy. The dirty water tank is easy to empty. I wish it was a little bigger though. I have to change the water a lot but it's worth the extra effort because this works so well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with pets or just dirty carpets in general.

I would buy this product again and would definitely tell my Family and Friends about my 1986 Bissell Pet pro heat shampooer/carpet cleaner. I'm very pleased with the results. I told my Son that it cleaned my carpets better than the Big Green machine that I rented. My money was well spent !!!

Had a much older carpet shampooer that worked okay but was very noisy and not easy to clean or use. This Bissell Pro Heat is an amazing improvement! I used it in "deep clean" mode on carpeting that had numerous older stains (some pet, some not) and it got everything out the first go-round. The carpet looks brand-new. And I love that someone who actually thought about cleaning designed this...you can actually get to the brushes, etc. to remove debris after cleaning. Four paws up!

I purchased this machine to clean up some very dirty carpets that have not been cleaned for quite some time. My machine performed great. I did not take very many passes before the carpet started looking a lot cleaner. I read the reviews regarding the performance of this machine not getting the job done. i found that after I read the instructions and used the machine as intended I did not have any problems. I have used Bissell products and will continue to use them. Thanks Bissell for making products that get the job done.

This is the best, most powerful Bissell steam cleaner so far. I have 3 dogs & this is the first machine that really eliminates their dirt & odor from the carpets in one cleaning. I love it. I honestly couldn't believe how great my carpet looked after a deep clean with this machine. It's easier than ever to fill & empty. I does require a lot of water changes on the deep clean cycle. But it cleans so well, it's not an issue.

It worked just fine. I did spend a little more time sucking up the water so it could dry even faster than normal but I burned up more calories doing it which was good. I did spend time getting use to the machine before I used it and read the instruction manual real well before i started.
