Day 11 of the quarantine: I’ve just watched an entire video about vacuum cleaners. I’m 16 Day 72 of the day quarantine: I’ve watched the same video again. I still haven’t bought a vacuum cleaner, but I can now levitate. Day 186 of the quarantine: I’ve watched this video again for some reason, but this time, I’m motivated to buy a vacuum cleaner, hence I shall now go and buy a vacuum cleaner. The final day of the year: I ended up buying a vacuum for my house a few months ago, it’s a dyson. It’s been pretty great thus far, very powerful and reliable. I am no longer 16 and I am 17 now. I’ll continue to update this for a long time. Update July 26th, 2021 I began this when I was a junior in high school and now in 18 days I’ll be moving into my college dorm. The dyson that I bought has served me well and will continue to serve me well as I take it with me to college. I’ll will update this when I turn 18. March 7th, 2022 It’s been around 3 months since I’ve turned 18, sorry for not updating it on time, I sort of forgot about this comment. This is my second semester at college and I’m trying to keep up. The Dyson has indeed served me well, even on the fake wooden floors I have in my dorm. The next time I’ll update this video is when I turn 21. See you guys in three years :).
Don't worry, the manufacturers are likely already paying him to produce the content (just like all the mattress companies/etc do with online influencers).
Well...my friends dad was paid greatly by a car detailer company.... he would post videos comparing 10 others and he was to always show that the brands he was paid by was better. He was just an average Joe to others so it worked but he eventually stopped because that brand was extremely bad.. lol even though he was being paid pretty well.
Well, I’d agree 100% had he gone back and fixed his user error with the Big Green rather than disqualify it and continue with the testing. I’m saying this only because you’re comparing his content to Consumer Reports.
I’m definitely going with the cheap Hoover! I was hesitant because it’s so cheap, but I have a tiny apartment and not a lot of storage. Good to know it works well!
get a Bissell pro heat 2X revolution pet pro. I have one and it gets up literally all the stains except you might wanna try using the clean shot feature on it.
Yes please. We have the bisell cleaned. The purple one and we live in a renter home that had a very strong cat urine smell. Apparently it had been professionally cleaned before we moved in but it still smelled. And it has a faint smell but we don’t want our clothes to smell like cat urine.
Justin, Vinegar gets out cat smell and Ammonia gets out stains. They can't be used together because they will negate each other. The Vinegar does work for the stink.
I wish I would’ve Googled RU-vid carpet cleaning videos first before buying the Hoover Smart Wash. But I do have to say, it works so much better than any other products I’ve gotten; they’ve all been the smaller one’s, and this is the first bigger one I’ve owned in years. It’s very easy to use, and cleans the carpets with only two uses over every room. It’s very easy to take apart to clean up every nook and cranny in the machine after using! I had to watch a video on how to put it back together (a lot easier than I was making it) The tank of dirty water is absolutely disgusting, so I know it’s doing a good job, plus the color of my carpets look like they’re brand new afterwards. Hopefully my added comments will help someone make an easier decision when purchasing a new rug scrubber! 😊
This is great info. For me the biggest thing for me is durability. The smaller ones work great at first, but the hoses and parts get gunned up and break after a year. The rug dr has outlasted any cleaner I have ever owned, and is much easier to troubleshot and clean out than the other cleaners on the market. For reference, I use mine monthly at least, and do regular maintenance and cleaning out the machine.
The Bissell Proheat 2X petpro is the best shampooer I've used to date. With pets and shoes on my area rugs, it does amazing lifting the dirt. The attachments work "ok" on my upholstered sofa and car interior. Suction on the attachments could be better but overall the machine is amazing. I do suggest taking it apart to clean after a few uses so it will continue to work properly
Thank you for this video!! It was going to cost almost 2 days of rental for the Rug Doctor so we just purchased the Hoover Power Dash Pet and used the recommended solution from the previous video comparison. Our carpet looks PHENOMENAL. We are so grateful for your video comparisons and really appreciate the level of detail you go into for these.
2:25 All you have to do to make sure that machine uses the same ratio of water to detergent as the others tested is to put the same pre-mixed solution into both the "water" and "detergent" tanks. Then it doesn't matter how the machine mixes the two.
ACitizenOfOurWorld ... unless doing so causes the machine to release more solution into the carpet, than it normally would. If it expected a thicker liquid in the detergent tank, a more watery solution might pour out faster than expected. Although most carpet detergents aren’t very viscous like dish detergent, so maybe this wouldn’t have an impact. Great insight, though.
A suggestion for your future tests to measure dryness...you could measure/compare the amount of water dispensed vs. the amount in the recovery tank to see how much water is left in the carpet
this is far more important than what it puts “down” as far as water’ if u don’t suck up the dirt and water then obviously there’s lots of wet dirty water still there thus your carpet isnt clean’ these need 2 3x more suction then they would be worth it
Or at least put a fresh paper towel down and stand on it for several seconds for each patch. That will press out moisture more reliably, and is more consistent (same body weight) than pressing a palm on the towel.
Sorry, but this really is a little annoying. if you don't do a test right, you should really redo it. I cannot control you but that's really what you should do. you see now there are only rug doctor machines in the premium category. I'm sure you're viewers would prefer you to say in the community tab that you messed up a test so your schedule might be delayed. it's just that you are the best cleaning test channel I see.it would be really useful to see if the bissel can best the rugdocter. You do really detailed and in-depth tests and there really good!
Im sorry, but disqualified one of the highest/best rated carpet cleaners on amazon, 2 years in a row?! The big green is the ONLY reason i watch these videos. Cmon man...
@@Papi4l2 😂😂 naw but I use it and it works awsome... Not to mention my clients always tell me after I'm done cleaning thier carpet " it looks better then the guy that I had come in last time and he had a huge machine" ijs
As far as detergent the most cost effective thing i have found is Zep Premium carpet shampoo.. Home Depot or Lowes typically carries it.. I would love to see you compare it.
You commented on the dryness-Yesterday I shampooed my carpets using my moms Powerdash. I knew it was most likely the cheapest thing she could find, but even without researching or anything I could tell it was doing quite a good job. Suction is CRAZY good... I accidentally added rubbing alcohol instead of vinegar to the cleaning solution (I always add some white vinegar) and didn't catch my mistake until putting everything away... The carpets were all dried within 30 minutes and the alcohol did NOT hurt the carpet. Side note-I really wanted to 'touch up' my sofa, and was disappointed that I couldnt do that with the powerdash.
I am looking at this machine. How well does it perform on cleaning upholstery? I am trying to find a machine that excels in cleaning both carpets and my sofas.
I have the power dash and although it is annoying to have to refill the small solution tank, I am very pleased with its cleaning ability. It extracted SO much dirt to a satisfying degree
The Hoover smart wash is an amazing carpet cleaner it sucks up the same amount of water it puts down, it is easy to clean and fill and easy to use. As the marketing says it’s as easy as vacuuming. BUT and this is where my heart breaks....I bought my machine in June and have had FIVE replacements and ultimately a refund. The belt on for the spin brushes either breaks or comes off and the brushes do not spin anymore. This happens generally about a month after use....I have two dogs and four kids and and carpet clean two area rugs about two-three times a month. I love this carpet cleaner for the way it cleans and the dry time but as many times as I’ve had to replace it is ridiculous. Also from reading several reviews on several other merchant websites it is a common issue
Engineer here, that was incredibly well done. The way you took opinion and Brand bias and threw them out of the window truly made me feel like I know the facts at the end. Can you buy a rug doctor? I don’t even really need to buy a carpet cleaner vacuum, but dang that was so well done.
I have the Hoover powerdash and it is pretty awesome, gets every stain up that I’ve tried it on, only downside is the tank, for one regular sized room I have to fill the tank 3-4 times and empty the dirty water mid-clean.
I got a Hoover power dash it cleaned my carpets really well almost wanted to puke seeing the water. I do have a small townhouse so it’s water tank was adequate. Well worth the 100$
Steven Frank Thanks for the reply! Okay I’ll check next time I use it. If it doesn’t work I’ll exchange it for another one. It really cleans well and it’s so easy so I love that part of it.
Markia J I just got one and used it tonight. Fantastic for the price, size, etc. I noticed it leaking, however it was because it started getting close to the full line in the black water reservoir, and I tilted the vacuum to wheel it somewhere else. You HAVE to be mindful of the water line and the filter vents on the left of the reservoir. If you tilt the vacuum to wheel it places, don’t tilt too much or it will come out of the filter vents on the left of the clear front. I also noticed when it got to the full line or close to; it was sputtering out the vent a little, not much but a small amount. Other than that I didn’t have any issues really. Be sure to empty out the reservoir when finished and rinse, this will prevent any possible leaking. Don’t forget to remove the water/solution tank so it can’t drip down. One last tip is to take out both reservoirs, and tilt the vacuum forward; then hold the trigger down to let the liquid run out of the tubes so it stays clean and not mildewy.
I would really love if you could retest the big green, either with the group or in comparison to the proheat. It's hard to make a decision when your recommended vacuum isn't tested properly.
i don't recommend bissell at all at this point. have the Big Green, used it in one house for 2 yrs, then it started leaking. warranty had expired. leaking slowly increased, then motor started making clunking noises and then electrical burning smell. had it for several years, but considering the amount of use it got in one house, should have lasted longer.
@@PatriotTwin Are you removing the hairs/stuff from the brushes? Not cleaning that part would do that eventually, as the brushes can't move freely and it will burn the motor. There's a reason why big companies rent them, they last long. Also, I can't say I've owned mine as long as yours it's only been a year now, but I always take good care of it and I would be very surprised if it stops working next year.
@@RebornJonn brushes are fine. This isn't user error. Leaking should not happen. Not like it has. Perhaps your long term personal experience with bissell products will be different. I doubt it.
@@PatriotTwin I'm not worried at all. Again, big companies rent them for a reason and also you're one of very few people who have problems with the machine. In another post you mention you were a owner of a Bissell Pet Pro and that one had problems with the upholstery and a whole different set of problems. Sounds like it is a user problem to me when machines keep breaking but other people have great reviews on it.. or you could just be very unlucky. Doubt it tho. Moving on, have a nice day.
@@PatriotTwin sound like you dont know what your doing, bissel owner here bought mine new, did whole house 3x in 1yr, leaking? your vague, were? could be a fluke, but if you bought it new i doubt it
I had great results with the one i rented. Now I'm gonna buy a machine because someone i know it's selling one (an unneeded gift) for about what i would pay in a rental fee!
2:51 Hello. The Reason The Bissell Turbo Malfunctioned, Is Because It Was Cheaply Made With Little High Quality. Given Your Reason, I Think It May Be You Might Need To Replace A Part Of It. And Also, About The Bissell Big Green Error. The Back Position Is To Seal The Tank. Unlike The Others, You Forgot To Put It In The Sealed Position. So, You Should Check The Water Tank. The Dirty One.
Next time try the old skool hand method, see how it compares in time and effectiveness. A scrub brush and your top cleaning soap. Wet pick up is done with a shop vac. That's how we do small stains because we don't own one of these machines and don't rent one unless it's time to do the whole house.
I purchased a Bissell proheat 2X pet pro last month. I love it! It cleans flawlessly (way better than the other Bissell I had) We have a cat that likes to barf everywhere and a Saint Bernard... Can't even tell we have pets.
Really appreciate the videos. Wish all products had well-designed testing/reviews on RU-vid. That said, i can't recommend the Bissell Pet Pro at all. Bought it 5 months ago (after watching this video), and on 3rd use, the clear plastic cover on front popped off and would not re-attach. And the upholstery attachment stopped working (no spray). It is cheaply built. Maybe if you never use the upholstery attachment, but that is 50% of the use it gets around here. UPDATE: Bissell sent me a replacement part bec the upholstery attachment would not stay attached. The new part worked. Great! I cleaned 4 dining room chairs. The following week, went to clean a recliner, and this time the suction stopped working. After 3 rounds of turning the vac off, re-attaching the upholstery tool and re-seating both tanks, STILL no suction whatsoever. Have had the vac 10 mos. Used 4x. worked 2x. Did not work the other 2x. So calling bissell AGAIN tomorrow. Just NO to the Bissell Pet Pro.
I would love to see which has the most powerful suction! I’m on my third cleaner this year and so far, the suction on my little one gallon shop vac has put the rest to shame!
Bissell BG10 is the best machine! I am a professional carpet cleaner and I have used it for 5 years in a row, no issue! you must have done something wrong, the handle on the dirty tank needs to be shut in the back position, also if you lift that dirt tank there is a red screen that gets clogged due to its safety feature to block dirt to get into the pump area and that may hinder the suction so make sure it's clean. The dirty tank also has a red valve inside which gets clogged since this is a very powerful machine and has a strong lift! So I would say test it again, also since it's a double stack tank make sure they sit on top of each other nice and tight. Also clay soil and fruit juice both have different methods of cleaning, I am surprised that the proheat x removed it, I will buy one! Good Luck let me know the results.
Me & Wifey are looking for something - we are getting a rug so that our baby can crawl safer but we were worried about how clean rugs/carpets are. Your enthusiasm is amazing and sold us. buying Bissell Pro Heat 2x Revolution Pet Pro & The solution you used. Big Thumbs up my guy
By far the best review and style... all in a line showing their results and easy for a customer to pick from one.... All these companies MUST pay you for your content... contact them and see what they say... you most likely will get rewarded... Thanks for the great content....
What I would like to see tested on carpet cleaners is how efficient they are at pulling up the water. Put a measured amount of fluid down and then measure how much is picked up. That will guide you on how quickly the carpet will dry.
@@TheMadisonHang Not really, I have tried the revolution pet pro and it's actual water extraction is piss poor compared with a wet and dry vacuum I have also tried.
@@peepiepo I did wander about following my pet pro up with a George or something like it to speed up during times. I did find holding the front of the pro down helped a little. But I just don’t think it’s got the suction power.
@@johnrobert6127 It was the handheld tool that I was most disappointed by. It was almost pointless using it. The problem with the george though is how clunky it is and how much space it takes up with the two hoses and heaps of tools it comes with. I wish someone could make something that brings the best of both worlds together.
The Hoover Power Dash is also good because it's light. After cleaning for a while, I get very tired and those cleaners get very heavy. A light machine is important to me.
Yes, light is good. Of course it means you change out the tanks more often when cleaning a lot of carpet, but that's not a big deal. Much preferable to a bulky cleaner.
in another video you suggested the "PET" vs the higher end "PET PRO"... my old Bissell died today.. of course when you need it most.. but it stood the test of time of 20 years and worked right up to today. Gonna go with your recommendation for PET..... if I need more carpet cleaner in a spot.. thats what a coffee cup is for...awesome vids!
I bought a Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine (after owning another Bissell, a Hoover, and renting the Rug Doctor) and it is hands down the best steam cleaner ever! And although Bissell's cleaning solution works very well, it is ridiculously expensive. So I found a YT video of a guy who uses a homemade cleaning solution on the cars he details, and that's what I use. My carpets look brand new.
I have the power dash and have been so impressed with it! Got it for only $79 on Amazon prime day. I will Say yes the tank is very small, and I wish there was handheld attachments. But for spot cleaning or small areas it’s amazing
Good review. Suggested amounts in the ones with separate water and detergent tanks would have been more accurate. I previously had a proheat and it broke way too quickly for the price. I currently have a power Scrub and it's been by far the best cleaner I have owned...but the power dash is a nice surprise.
Hey I hope that you are well. Think about this. The God of the Bible, the One True God made You and I to worship him, obey Him, and enjoy Him forever. But You and I break His laws daily. You, like me, are not good at all in the eyes of God. ‘There is no one good, no not even one. (Romans3:10) ‘For all have sinned and fall short of The Glory of God’ (Romans 3:23) You have always done wrong in the eyes of God, this is a problem because Psalm 5:5 reads: ‘...You [GOD] hate all who do wrong.’ ‘But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.’ Rom 5:5 The person who sins is the one who will die. Ezekiel 18:20 All these things and more are counted against us. God is the just judge of the world and one day He will judge you, and you are guilty. He will settle the score for all the wrongs you've done. God is holy meaning He is righteous (morally perfect in thought, word, and deed) It also means He is set apart and infinitely higher than us. God will punish You for all Your sin or wrongdoing in the world, this is because He is Good and Just Judge. This means that if You sin ONCE, God will cast you in hell for eternity. Because He is good and He doesn't turn a blind eye to sin. So how can God forgive you and me of all our sins? But there is good news. 2000 years ago Jesus the Son of God came into this world and lived a perfect life ( He never sinned once) and He died on the cross taking the wrath that we deserve and paid the penalty for the sins we committed. The bible says that if you will repent (confess and forsake your sins) and trust in what Christ did on the cross OUT OF HIS LOVE FOR YOU-(He took the wrath of God against you for your evil deeds and thoughts). Then all your sins will be forgiven and when you die you will be in heaven with God and all who have believed in The Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the true Gospel of Jesus: Jesus died( Bore the punishment for your evil sins and heart, so that you can be forgiven. He took your special spot in Hell) and on the third day, He rose from the grave(So that you can have true life and His spot next to The only true God.). Verses: ‘All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by ChristJesus.’ Rom3:24; 'Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.' John 3:18 Get right with God today, don't wait. Once you die after that comes the judgment. It's the most important thing you can do. If you repent and trust in what Christ did on the cross for You then you will be born again. Right now you're dead in your sins and you can't see the beauty of Jesus Christ but after you trust in Christ all the things you hate about God like obeying him, serving Him, loving Him and others, reading the bible, praying, and going to church, you will love to do those things because God changes your heart. That's how you know you have been born again and forgiven. Please think long about this, and most importantly please take at least 5 minutes a day to read the Bible. Start in 'Matthew'. An eternity in hell (darkness and a lake of fire the bible describes it, with weeping and gnashing of teeth) or an eternity in the loving arms of God who is infinitely glorious, has infinite knowledge and has infinite power and love to do all that He pleases. You decide. Truth is independent of human conviction, meaning that what you believe does not change the fact that Jesus is your only Hope
Just got the Bissell 2x pro it was expensive but wow it did a great job. I have rescue dogs and they sadly make a mess... while the small tank is annoying everything else about it is just great...easily as good as a rental machine. The appliances tools are also great and work very well. I also agree that the high cost but quality Bissell 4x cleaning solution is well worth the cost.
It would be nice if you reviewed the bearings for the brush rollers. My family has had several of these machines. Over the years we had a few of the Bissell Pro Heat models. On all of them, the first thing to fail was the cheap plastic bearings the rollers use. They melt down and eventually fail and the brushes fall right out. It would nice if companies went back to more professional grade bearings.
I have a Kenmore deep Carpet cleaner that works incredibly well. It was pretty expensive but worth every penny. When I found out that Kenmore had discontinued it I ran out and bought another one on clearance which is still sitting brand new in its Box waiting for its older sibling to drop dead.
If you guys really wanna know. I absolutely love it. I’ve never had any issues with it. I’ve had it for 3 years now and it has taken out every single stain I’ve had. I have pets and they get sick sometimes. And it has always taken the stains out. I would go ahead and buy it if you on the fence about it.
facefuloforanges thanks for the reply. I decided to go with the big green over the proheat and like you, I absolutely love it. I have two other carpet cleaners and I can’t believe how much dirt they were leaving behind. The big green is absolutely worth it’s price tag. Wish I had it years ago.
I love my big green. It did as good as professionals cleaners that did my house. The key as he mentioned in this video I learned is the solution mix (the one he uses is the only one I have found that works on almost every thing) and the other which wasn’t mentioned is water temperature. I use really hot to super hot water and by the time I’m going at it and it’s flowed through the hoses it’s still really warm and often does better than cold water.
I couldn't agree more. . I've owned a Bissell Big Green. For almost four years now. And it's been the best carpet cleaner I've ever owned. I'm even sure the machine will outlive me.
I purchased the overall Bissell Proheat 2x from Bissel yesterday. I was trying to rent a carpet cleaner but, could not find any rental due to the Covid-19 virus. I decided to gather information and found your channel and decided to buy this cleaner. I was thinking about buy the larger Bissell carpet cleaner but, this unit did not do as well as this carpet cleaner.
I have a BISSELL carpet cleaner from Walmart and I love it it does the job so well and I saved so much money on not calling carpet cleaning companies anymore
This is exactly what I was needing. I was just talking to my friend, and we were trying to figure out which carpet cleaner would be the best for me. A rule of thumb that I always go by is "buy the one that's the prettiest". Surprisingly the one I like style wise; performed the best in your test! Lol
It will be nice if there is a switch to disable suction. The idea is to have the machine spray, brush and let the user pick how long to treat the carpet before suction.
One thing I found out was totally awesome stuff they sell at 99 cent store works really good in my Bissell and my old Hoover and it's the cheapest out of everything, I also put in just a little bit of gain fabric softener and makes the carpet really soft and smell good.
My biggest problem with all the Bissell machines I've had over the years is that they all use the same brittle translucent plastic that inevitably cracks or breaks at key structural points, and the belts that drive the brush heads are pretty fragile and wind up snapping after a few months. They clean well enough and have good features, but there's always an underlying cheapness to the engineering that handicaps these machines and leads to unnecessary additional expenditures down the road in premature part replacements.
Hey Chris, just a little sidenote. In my house I have a different style carpet cleaner from Karcher and it works different, as a nossel wet vacuum (Not an upright). I think it works somewhat good and maybe you can/could or maybe even will use it in a different video.. anyways.. good video!
@@yourtube540 I didn't buy it. I'm still a youngster. I reallly don't know the exact price for it. it's old as hecc aswell.. soo.. yeah.. also thanks for explaining the use! Highly appriciated.
Appreciate the attention to the different variables that could change the results. Also, like that we didn't watch the entire process but enough information was presented to allow us to make a educated decision for our next purchase! Many thanks for a great video!
Wow, this is awesome - thank you for this video!! I'm in the process of buying a carpet cleaner and have been reading so many reviews that I didn't know if I'd be making the right decision with the Bissell 2x Rev Pro. I feel much more confident about buying it now!
On the Bissell with the spray issue, make sure the handle is all the way extended out. If it's just slightly retracted down (it telescopes in for storage I assume) the trigger will not operate.
