BISSELL ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Turbo Upright Carpet Cleaner, 35799

This carpet cleaner is an absolute lifesaver for anyone with pets! I was struggling to get rid of persistent pet urine odors and everyday stains from muddy paws and accidents, but the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro completely transformed my carpets.The machine is powerful, easy to maneuver, and incredibly effective. The included cleaning solutions work wonders—especially the OXY formula, which removed tough urine smells and left the room smelling fresh, not chemically. The antibacterial formula gave me extra peace of mind, knowing the carpets were not just clean, but also sanitized.The attachments are great for upholstery and stairs, and the hose made it easy to reach tighter spots. Setup was quick, cleanup afterward was simple, and the water tanks are a breeze to fill and empty.If you have pets and want your home to look and smell clean again, this carpet cleaner is worth every penny. Highly recommend!

We recently got a new puppy and you know what that means. Accidents in the house. This carpet cleaning machine is fantastic. Easy to assemble, easy to use, dirt water tank didn’t need to be empty as often as I thought it would based on other reviews. All in all I’m extremely pleased with this purchase.

This Bissell got all the stains out of my carpet. I have a beige carpet that’s nine years old. My dog had two or three accidents over the years. The Bissell got every single stain out. I didn’t even use that much product…. And I used the stuff that came with it. I have another carpet in my kitchen in high traffic dog areas so she doesn’t slip on linoleum. It had dog food, anger, and dirt on it. The Bissell got every stain out. I am amazed. I don’t know why, as a pet owner, I didn’t buy one sooner.

I had quite the job for it right out of the box. My (now adult) daughter turned her bedroom into a "girls cave" throughout her teen years. Consequently, the carpet was filthy with not just dirt, but spilled makeup, spray residue of various sorts, and other substances I'm sure fathers generally don't want to hear about. The carpet was matted in places - all ground in. We just got this vac in today (quick shipping BTW). And we immediately set about assembly and use. Assembly went pretty quick, although the carry handle is all plastic, and took a bit more force than I wanted to install. And who makes a carry handle out of such flimsy plastic anyway? The force it took to snap it into place is BECAUSE it is so flimsy, and so easily bends out of shape during installation. It may be sturdy once installed, but it sure looked and felt awfully flimsy before installation. Installation took more force than its flimsy nature should reasonably receive. But once it snaps into place and the screw (the only screw the entire assembly requires), it seems sturdy enough.Using a combination of hair shampoo (no conditioner) and liquid laundry detergent in warm water, this vac attacked that greasy, oily, dirty mess very aggressively. The results so far is quite impressive. Now that my daughter and I figured out how to use it and clean it - it's up to her to keep using it until that carpet is clean. I figure it will take a dozen passes at least. Which is why I bought this shampooer instead of renting one. I'm sure she will be sick of using it before she's done. BUT, best recommendation is to use a liquid soap that does not cause suds. Any wet/dry vac, including shampooers, will have trouble sucking up suds. I used shampoo specifically to cut the makeup grease - which seems about as heavy as axle grease. But once the grease is out of the carpet, we will switch to pure laundry detergent, or a combination laundry and liquid dishwasher detergent.After this vac seemed to have picked up all the liquid it will pick up, I noticed that I can tip it forward a bit and it will suck up a bunch more (SEE OBSERVATION #7 BELOW) - and wow is that stuff dirty. So once it looks like you're done, you can go over the carpet by tilting it forward a bit, then pushing it forward an inch, then tipping it forward again. Repeat until you've covered the whole wet area. You will probably get a lot more out of the carpet that way. And I think what comes up when you do that will be a good indicator of how clean your carpet is. You may wish to go over it all again once you see what comes up. Which brings me to another point - you can stop when the carpet surface looks clean, or keep working it till the carpet IS clean. Honestly, I don't see much use for three different cleaning settings. The maximum setting uses the most liquid, but that's how you get the best results unless you're cleaning something with zero depth. Which gives me an idea to see how well it works on a heavy traffic area of a linoleum floor. It's a lot of work repeatedly rinsing pine-sol off the floor with a mop and bucket. This machine might rinse it off a lot easier. We shall see.Also, even when you think you're done, it's probably a good idea (though you might hate the extra work) to go over the carpet once again using purely clean water - no soap at all. Possibly with a bit of febreeze or liquid fabric softener, or some mild aromatic you like. The idea is to get as much of the soap out of the carpet as you can - like a rinse cycle. Adding a nice scent is just an opportune bonus. Just don't overdo it. It would be so easy to overdo a scent.Cleanup is pretty simple, but not altogether easy. All parts are too big for the bathroom sink. And unless you have a fine strainer, I would not clean it in a sink. We dumped the dirty water down the toilet, then used the bathtub to clean the vac and it left a huge mess in the tub. Suffice it to say, cleanup from now on will be outside with a garden hose. Then bring it inside to detail it. A nice detail is the flat plastic thing-a-ma-bob that comes with the vac. It's to hook and pull clumps out of an otherwise impossible to clean part of the roller cover (hood). It's a nice touch, but probably should have some way to store it attached to the vac itself - as you will likely need to use it every time you clean the vac. It's also supposed to get the hair out of the rollers. It's totally useless for that. I had to use a sharp paring knife to cut the hair away from the rollers. Just like any other vac.Which brings me to the only problem I found with this vac. It's all plastic. While nothing you're doing should require much force, this might not take much force for something to break. The handle especially should be made of aluminum or better, as it is the thing that flexes the most, and should not flex at all, as I use it. This makes the handle the second most anticipated failure point. The most anticipated failure point? The hose and attachments all "click" into place using two pressure locks. They should all be made of stainless steel instead of plastic. Plastic pressure locks always break.Edit: after some hours of use, I noticed a few things that I should mention.1. as per another reviewer's concern, when the handle is locked in the upright position, it also lifts the rollers by about a half an inch or so. So unless you have shag carpet, it's not likely to harm your carpet to remain running in one position for a great length of time.2. to use this vac right (most such shampooers actually) you have to go intolerably slow. I mean mind bogglingly, soul crushingly, inhumanly slow. I found that any faster than about 3 inches per minute will leave a lot behind. And that brings me to the fact that you probably should go over everything at least twice. At least once with shampoo, and once more with clean, possibly fragranced water - or perhaps some baking soda to soak up any lingering odors.3. No matter how thorough you are, there's going to be some dirt left behind. Others have confirmed this - you might never get everything out of your carpet. You will always have to decide when "good enough" is good enough.4. The sprayer works when there's no power. So you can see how much water you need to use for whatever effect you want. You can choose to use the slider on the side, but it also depends on how fast you move across the carpet while spraying. It ONLY SPRAYS WHEN YOU USE THE TRIGGER. Not just by going forward. If you don't use enough spray, and it will spray stripes and a lot of carpet won't get wet at all. Use too much and the padding underneath will get soaked. And it will be hard to suck all that water up (see observation #2)5. So far, I've used it on a terribly soiled carpet, an area rug, and a rubber backed indoor/outdoor door mat with a very short pile. I also used it to rinse off a linoleum floor. By far, the easiest to clean was the door mat. Although it can rinse off a linoleum floor, I went through a container of water really fast. So to rinse soapy water from an entire room might take a lot of trips to dump and refill. Going over my area rug a second time with pure clean water really did wonders for both its look and feel.6. I don't know what kind of heating element this vac supposedly uses, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Why call it a "proheat" when there's no noticeable heating being done anywhere. Maybe my vac came broken. Others will have to verify this. I've taken to using hot tap water.7. You can see the liquid you're picking up as it goes through the "hood" over the rollers, which is very nice. But that quarter inch chamber in the hood is all there is sucking up the liquid. This is why you need to go so slow - the vac really only picks up water a quarter inch at a time. It will suck in some from the surrounding area, but that quarter inch of direct suction is all there is. Don't get me wrong - it has excellent suction for that quarter inch by 11 inches. And if you want a half inch, you would need either twice the suction, or8. The rollers are belt driven, and can be over taxed. Turns out, tipping the vac forward on heavy carpet can overtax the belt and you get an unpleasant haze in the air - that's the belt slowly vaporizing. It seems safe to do on carpet with very short pile, like my area rug or door mat, but not on regular carpeting. Maybe this should have been my first observation, not my last.Something I wish for is some way to detach the brush rollers for cleaning as well. As it stands, you leave the nasty dirty rollers in place and just brush out debris. I'd rather store it with clean rollers, but there's no easy way to wash them while they are attached to the vac. I'm having to lift the entire vac either into the tub, or outside to rinse off the rollers.Overall, I am satisfied with this vac. It's function is impressive. And while the construction definitely could be better, it would cost a lot more if it were.

This is a very good machine. You need to fill and empty it a lot but nothing you can’t handle. I usually will rent a rug doctor. A neighbor bought one years ago and we normally use hers. There was a sale on these when I purchased and I kind of regret not getting this one sooner. So yeah I have to fill this one more often per job than the rug doctor but this one I can pull out easily and I think it gets my carpet cleaner.Like any carpet cleaner it will get your house humid as all get out. I don’t think it heats it but it certainly didn’t let the water get cold too fast. The tank also has good one way valves to protect itself from overflow. My husband did see what he thought was leakage but it was just some residual from taking the tank out (maybe was condensation?). A few drops at most a quarter teaspoon.I found that it worked really well to do last empty then go though with an empty machine, trigger pressed, and suck out more water. I hope I’m not damaging anything. Eek. I did notice that some froth appeared even when using the bissel brand pet cleaner as directed. I’ll be finishing my next job with a plain water run over everything. (Maybe I should have always done that? I don’t know.)In any case… I started using this when my newborn was only a couple of weeks old and wouldn’t let me put her down. This machine is so easy to use that I had her on the breast AND still easily able to maneuver the machine in a bit of a frenzied “I gotta get this down now” moment. There’s even a little cord hook that keeps the machine clear so I didn’t have to hold it in my hand like I do all floor cleaning machines (vacuum, steam mopper, etc). Cute little touch that I really appreciated. For as big as it is it’s noble and fits under stuff like bedside tables that you’re too lazy to move.It’s light enough to not exhaust you, heavy-weight enough that I think it will last. The components aren’t flimsy by any stretch even comparing it to the rented rug doctors. Oh! But the spot shot thing is weird. It sprays to the side of the cleaners path. Just be warned.
