Product Description
No more back and forth with the spray can and wimpy dry vacuum to get out tough carpet stains. ProHeat's hot, cleansing formula and extremely powerful suction work together to quickly remove tough carpet stains and embedded debris in a single pass. Ten rows of powerful brushes agitate ground-in dirt and bring it to the surface, while a wide floor nozzle with a 12-inch cleaning path extracts all traces for spotless results every time. Innovative edge-sweep brushes clean flush with walls without scratching. The ProHeat 2X is equipped with ultra-smooth wheels and an extra-long, 30-foot power cord for optimal maneuverability. Perfect for cleaning carpet, upholstery, and stairs, the ProHeat features an innovative Tough Stain tool for cleaning up gummy messes and restoring carpet to factorylike newness. Other features include a heater switch, heat indicator light, carrying handle, easy-to-clean nozzle, and 2-in-1 tank as well as 12 amps of cleaning power. Your purchase includes the stain-removing tool, a bare-floor tool, a trial-size stain cleaner and fiber cleansing formula, and Scotchgard for keeping that carpet perfectly clean. Bissell ProHeat models all feature a patented built-in heater that will heat the hot tap water you put in up to 25 degrees hotter to safely optimize cleaning effectiveness. The heater will never allow the temperature to exceed 190 degrees. The Heater switch on the front of the machine controls the heater so you have the option to turn off the heat if you are cleaning delicate wool or Oriental rugs. The two DirtLifter PowerBrush rollers are designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern safely lifts out the deep-down dirt while gently grooming carpet fibers. The floating suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights and protects your carpet if you leave the power switch on. Once the product is in the Upright position, the brushes automatically stop spinning. The Detent Pedal will activate the brush when floor cleaning.

Easy to use and works well October 1, 2008
I bought this after getting a dog. If you have pets you gotta get one of these. I use mine all the time because it's so easy to use.
It won't get every spot clean, but then again noting will. Even with the best machines, spot treating and a little elbow grease is required. I would recommend this to anyone looking a very good unit a good price.

Not worth the money September 27, 2008
I had a good 3-4 uses from this steam cleaner before it started to cause problems. My ecru colored carpet which was dirty from usual wear and tear from my family and dogs cleaned up pretty good the first few times I bought this cleaner in November of 2007. I was very happy with it initially. Then it began to leak cleaning solution and the water would not come out to rinse the soap from the carpet. Here I am almost a year later, and the thing turns on, heats water, and does nothing else. no water,no soap,no suction. The cost of repair exceed the cost of the machine ( in money and hassle) and I am very disappointed in this cleaner.I expected at least 3 years of use from it. I only used it once every 2-3 months. and certainly did nothing to cause it's demise.
Bissell should be ashamed of themselves to allowing such a piece of junk on the market

Works very well. September 27, 2008
This machine works very well, and gets our carpets very clean. I have to go over the carpets a few times, but then they really are like new. The reservoir is a pretty good size.

The minuses? The unit is pretty heavy. After a couple of rooms, your arm has had a workout. On the other hand this means the brushes are actually getting into the carpet.

Another problem is that the soap reservoir is not easy to fill since the opening is small, and you can't set it down to pour cleaner into as it has a weird shape. Also, on the "heavy traffic" setting the cleaner comes out way too fast. Just stick to the normal and light settings.

Still, the positives outweigh the negatives so far. A common complaint seems to be cleaner drying and clogging the lines. I haven't had that problem yet, but I usually use all the soap and then rinse with the plain water setting. In any event, it beats renting a cleaner from the grocery store every few weeks.

Read the Instuctions September 18, 2008
This is my second Bissel... the first one ended up with a frozen pump because I left it sit all winter with cleaning fluid in the pump...
(1) after using, you are supposed to turn it to "rinse and run straight water through it so that the cleaner doesn't gunk up the pump... according to the directions. I had the pump repaired but it didn't work very long.
(2) The Bissel is not meant to pick up what your vacuum cleaner was supposed to pick up before the steam clean. VACUUM THE FLOORS THOROUGHLY. Especially if you have pets.
(3) Take it slow if you don't do it right the first time.. u have to do it again so no time saved on doing it quickly... I love this steam vac it's the best!!!

Not a long-lasting machine August 25, 2008
I have had this product for around 3 years now and use it regularly. I have 3 dogs who love to track in dirt and with my husband's severe allergies and asthma, I have to keep the carpets clean all the time. Unfortunately, this steam-cleaning machine doesn't last! Seems everything is made of cheap plastic these days... incuding this one.

About 10 months after I bought it, I had to have it replaced because a seal broke and it leaked water and solution all over the place. Now, about 2 years later, the handle is breaking off completely into pieces and the plastic spray button is sticking inside the broken handle. Every time I've used it, I've gone through an unbelievable amount of soap and you have to rinse the carpet multiple times with clear water to get the residue cleaned up. Otherwise, the carpet gets stiff from soap buildup and gets dirty faster. It always leaves nasty dirty wet dust bunnies everywhere and a dirty puddle below the brushes when I'm done. You have to dump the reservoirs and then suck up the remainder of the dirty water, and then dump the reservoirs again. It's done this since the day I bought the first one... and even when the replacement was brand new... so clogging is not the problem.

When you use the wand to clean sofas or stairs, you have to be really careful because dirty water will pour all over you when you wrap it back up after you're finished. It cleans okay... but a hassle cleaning up the dirty mess when you're done cleaning up a dirty mess. Not to mention it takes at least 24 hours for carpets to dry... and I habitually go over the damp areas again and again super slowly to extract everything the machine is capable of extracting. It gets really monotonous! Am definitely looking at other machines now that this one is falling completely apart.
