[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We waited years to purchase a carpet cleaner. Always thought it made better sense to rent. Our Border Collie is three years old and does not have accidents but does track dirt in from outside so we decided to buy one. After seeing reviews of the ProHeat we thought it was worth purchasing. The Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution is an excellent value and went beyond our expectations in performance. It's important to follow instructions and get your brain around how carpet cleaners work and use common sense accordingly. You really want to vacuum and pre-spot any trouble areas before using the ProHeat. The ProHeat applies cleaning solution over the top of the twin rollers while the trigger is depressed (going forward). Simply release the trigger and reverse direction (back up) while the ProHeat extracts the dirty solution into the waste container. Better to go slower while backing up. You may see small lint fuzz accumulate as you are cleaning. This is typical. If the Nozzell cover picks up excess lint, remove and clean it with the included Clean Out Tool. Easy! Our carpets looked great and were dry to the touch within a few hours. Cleaning the ProHeat is quick and easy because the Nozzel and Brush Cover are a snap to remove. Simply flush these out in utility sink or bath tub. Again, follow the instruction manual.

With two XL dogs and a toddler, our carpets were starting to get disgusting, especially in the high-traffic areas. With the pandemic I didn't want to have a professional carpet cleaner come, so we decided to invest in a cleaner of our own. We are SO glad we did. After one use, the carpet is back to its original color and smells so much fresher, too. It took about 7 hours to dry completely, which isn't a problem for me if I do it at night. If you're thinking about investing in a carpet cleaner of your own, I am recommending this to everyone! #sweepstakes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this after reading all the great reviews. They were correct. This is the best and does a great job, worked on my 18 years old bedroom after he moved out and the carpet is like new again! Also works great for the pets. Dog made messes, cats too! Highly recommend and easy to use, and clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a great improvement to my older Bissel carpet cleaner. The other one I owned lasted over 10 years but was very bulky and I did not use it as much. I recently purchased this one and I am happy with the ease of cleaning it after use, the lightweight and mostly how powerful it is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Carpet Cleaner 1986 is fantastic! Very easy and even fun to use. And so gratifying to see all the dirt and dog hair (Golden Retriever!) that is pulled out. I do think the rug (antique oriental) looks brighter and cleaner and actually feels softer and nicer under foot!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew I needed a carpet cleaner, I just didn't know how bad I needed one. This made my carpets clean and fresh again. Completely different feeling of carpet now. We have a lot of pets at home so this was a must. Pulled a lot of hidden dirt! #sweepstakes

In my opinion, this machine is better than any previous machine's of this type. The deep cleaning brushes actually scrub the carpet, vs. just having water sprayed on the carpet and then sucked back up. The added stain spray is a huge help. The downside is that it only sprays directly ahead of the machine. An improvement would be to allow us to direct the spray to where we want it to go. Perhaps with a hose / nozzle attachment vs. a stationary nozzle. Another downside to this machine is the "Pet Hose Attachment". The older machines had it already connected to the machine. But, this one doesn't, which means basically, that you can lose the attachments and hose. Plus, it makes using it clumsy. The longer hose is a huge help, but, the quality of the hose is flimsy and cheap. It can crack easily causing frequent replacements. The Instruction Booklet and Quick Start Guide have a lot to be desired. It's not user friendly. They talk of how easy it is to clean the machine, but, it lacks much needed pictures, and step by step instructions. Belt replacement? How to clean and / or replace the brushes? It's a guessing game. I strongly suggest that Bissell redo the Instruction Booklet and Mail an updated version to every consumer that purchased this machine. Assembling the machine could have been much easier with more explicit instructions. The picture of the assembled machine on the box helped me to put it together. I did notice that the sound of the machine changes when the lower tank gets filled. You have to empty it frequently to ensure that the machine will work at its best.

I bought this machine to replace my 18-year old Bissell ProHeat carpet cleaner. I really loved that old machine, but it was past its prime and wasn't spraying out solution consistently anymore. I had very low expectations of the newer Bissell carpet cleaners, since my old machine had 10 amps of power and most of the newer models have only around 7 amps. I was really skeptical. But I forged ahead and selected the ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Carpet Cleaner. At first it was a little awkward since it's quite a bit different from the one I was used to. But after the first couple change-outs of the dirty water and refilling the clean water/solution tank, I was smitten! This machine performs every bit as well as my old one did when it was new way back when. And exceeds it, if I might add! It has amazing power and suction for only 7 amps. Changing out the water bins is a breeze! So simple and quick. The thing I love the most about this new carpet cleaner is how easy it is to pop off the suction cone plastic piece and then pop up the roller brush cover. Boom, there are the rollers easily exposed to clean around them and also clean the collected hair/fuzz from the plastic pieces....completely clean them out! No way did my old Bissell do that. And I think that was a lot of the trouble with it also. I'm really glad I purchased this carpet cleaner. Absolutely no regrets.

Loved this machine for two reasons: So much lighter in weight than our Hoover and clean up afterwards was much, much easier as, unlike the Hoover, each piece comes apart. The sample products it came with seemed to clean and deodorize our wool area rugs well (our three dogs give them quite a work out!) and I will be ordering more. The only disappointment was that the cleaning effort seemed to have no real effect on our well-used upholstered chairs and sofas. Not sure if we were doing something wrong or not. Will try again another day. All in all, we are happy with this purchase...and, happy to cart our Hoover off to the dump. May it rest in peace!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this to clean everything from oriental rugs to wall to wall carpet. I have a 14 year old dog that sometimes has urinary accidents. This machine is so easy to use for small dog accidents to a full clean. It is a little heavy to carry up the stairs but I just remove all the components and it makes it much easier.
