Check out full sized Bissell Carpet Cleaners on Amazon here: www.amazon.com/... Excellent full size carpet cleaner for home and car use. Does a great job of getting all the ground in dirt up!
This company is amazing. I bought a used Bissell at a resale shop with additional warranty and got cleaner home, started cleaning carpets and it quit working. I called the warranty number for Bissell and Bissell sent me a brand new cleaner for free!! Thank you Bissell not only do you have great cleaning machines, but yall give the utmost customer service thats above and beyond. Our family will always choose Bissell. Thanks again Melissa Darden Big Spring Tx
Had mine about 3 yrs now and, love it!!! The suction (even after 3 yrs) is unbelievable!!! Best carpet cleaner on the market by far!!! Reading through the comments left here I noticed someone talking about the floor staying wet for 6-8 hrs??? I have NEVER had that problem with this machine! If used correctly, this thing gets the water and dirt out of even the padding, better than a pro.....I will never own anything else and, NEVER pay anyone to do a lesser job with lesser "professional" equipment!!!
I have had this machine for about 8 years. I do not use it a lot as we have no children or pets. Excellent machine and I look after it by rinsing it through with clean water after using it. I also had the problem where it would not give any soap solution. The nipple under the carpet solution dispenser had got attached to the wrong bit.
One major tip for only owners or users of this particular model. Be dang sure when you are done using the cleaning machine to run a good tank or two or clean hot/warm water completely through the machine. Even add a little vinegar to the water and place over a floor drain or take outside and run the water through the spray system. If you do not do this I have 2 of these exact same models and they clog up real bad with old cleaning solution which after a while dries up in the heater coils and you are screwed because the 2 or 3 sprayers will not spray and it is a pain in the butt to clean out the heater. Other wise the machine works very well. Good Luck
Do you know how to clean the sprayers, because mine appear to be clogged. I bought it used and was told that it worked, but I kept it in the garage for a couple of years not using it. Thanks
@@JM-yr6fr If you call Bissell they have technical help that will tell you precisely what to do to unclog the sprayer. If that does not help you have to take it to a vacuum repair center where they can take the whole cleaner apart and get the old cleaning solution out of the lines. The old cleaning solution turns to a glue substance if you do not clear out the machine after each use. Hope this helps. I had to take both my cleaners to a Bissell Repair shop to get the sprayers to work. About $75.00 each but they did a good job.
Would have liked you to address any troubleshooting issues for example the red latch by the bladder you did not mention what that does and I think it controls the suction of the dirty water into the tank but I'm not sure. things like that would have been helpful
i have one and its really good but the only problem i had was when the tubes was clogged. it took forever to figure out the trouble and i had a hard time removing the tubes to clean. but over all its a good machine.
No problem hollywoodfrodo. This vaccum is an improvement over our old Steam Vac. Review was accurate. The only thing I would add (and I am not sure you mentioned it or not) is that the brushes of the attachment for hand cleaning do not rotate. In that area the Steam Vacc was better, but overall I am happy with it. Thanks again for the review!
use distilled water to avoid calcium build-up. this secret they never tell you. your machine will last forever. Also, there's a difference in cleaning solutions, so, only use the recommended type. ;)
Hi Sid - I tend to do more Product Reviews w/Basic demos as opposed to how to videos. But I could see how that would be helpful. I'll keep that in mind as a future possibility. Thanks!
hollywoodfrodo Thank you....that would be most helpful b/c it looks as though one would have to unscrew the plastic cover over the bristles. Just think maybe there's an easier way.
I had this machine and it does work pretty well. But, if you have pets , i dont care how well you vacuum first this machine will be covered with pet hair in the brush area and suction area. It is a pain in the but to take it apart to remove the brushes to clean them after each use. After a year it would not spray water and cleaner any more which remdered it junk. I used it monthly, so i got about 12 uses. So if 300 a year for a new one every year if justifiable to you then get it.
I would think pet hair would get stuck under that bladder. For pet owners, this seems like this bladder design would not be a good idea. How was your experience? Did pet hair get stuck inside the tank, under the bladder?
Thank you very much for the explanation of the Bissell when I've got to tell you you didn't drone on and on and on you did an amazing job and I thank you for that you don't like to hear yourself talk to you like to really actually show people what you're talkin about thanks again Eric you have a great day I own one too and I love it
Well.... If you watch a lot of my videos, you might change your mind a bit. haha My videos tend to be very detailed and covering lots of details takes lots of time, depending on the product. I do tend to be long-winded as my spouse can account to. ;-) But I'm glad you found this helpful!
I am on my second 2x trying to get it to work Read about priming with power off the hose attachment ...hold the button 30 seconds And i got water to spray I just broke piece on the bottom latch so until i get out to shed of first non working init I will clean carpeted steps by using the solution i mixed and scrub and use a shop vac I think ive bought my kast carpet shampooer How is yours working? Another you tuber found the heating element all clogged He recommended clearing clog and leaving heat off And running plain water through both tanks before storing
How do you fix when the suction lip that's joined to the tank doesn't meet up with the plastic covering around the front that covers the brushes where it's supposed to suck up dirty water from the floor it hangs over the plastic part in the front?
I have the same cleaner it worked great last time I used it. I used it yesterday and it emptied the whole clean water tank and it didn't suck any water out of the carpet to be disposed of. Any thoughts on what's wrong? Thanks
So I need to know how to take off the portion that contains the bristle brushes. I have a long haired dog and my only complaint is I can't find direction to clean his fur out of there. We vacuum for regular touch ups, but accidents happen between vacuuming sessions and he's a year round shedder. I love everything about this shampooer (we bought ours in 2010 & it's still awesome), but the fur that has collected is wet & it gets wet all over with each use & ends up smelling like wet dog for a week. I just don't want to ruin it as the warranty is up and it works great not to mention it wasn't cheap (although sooooooo worth the investment). Please help!
my bissel carpet cleaner has sometimes and right now only the hand held works dont have suction on main i tried to figure it out nothing i solved now its in the garage maybe i just throw it away after using it 5x since 2009,bought it at target.
THANKS, GREAT REVIEW. WOULD HAVE LIKE TO SEE YOU EXPLAIN WHAT SMALLER TOOL DOES. ALSO WHEN YOU WERE EXPLAINING SETTINGS, I WASNT SURE IF ONE OF THE SETTINGS CALLS FOR WATER ONLY IN THE TANK TO RINSE THE CARPET OF THE PRODUCT OR WHAT YOU MEANT. I THINK YOU MEAN PUT CLEAR WATER IN TANK AND GO OVER CARPET AND THEN SUCK UP WATER TO RINSE OUT/ REMOVE PRODUCT RIGHT?. THANKS TONS THOUGH, JUST NEEDED CLARIFIATION ON A FEW THINGS. I'M GOING TO START CLEANING MY CARPETS RIGHT NOW THANKS TO YOU. AWESOME!
My question is, when you squeeze the trigger on top to mix with cleaning solution,with the water, you said something about, setting the knob to clear, will this suck up the soap,that’s, on the carpet? Would it be a good idea to clean the whole carpet or in sections ? I like your video. Thanks.
I've had about six or seven Bissell machines and over the years found them to work great. But I've seen a lot of people online bashing the hell out of them for some reason? Saying they don't spray or they don't have good suction
Yeah, I don't know if it's just 1 out of every 50 is bad... and of course if I got that one, I'd be bashing them too... But they generally make good stuff so not sure why so many people have a bad experience.
I was wondering How easy is it to clean the machine it self? Does the dirty water come out easily from around and under the bladder? and How durable is the bladder and how long does it last and can it be replaced easly?
Cleans fairly easily. Bladder should last as long as the machine unless you puncture it or something. Haven't had to replace it so honestly don't know how easy/hard that would be.
My Bissell Proheat Essential does not spray, I took the cover off the belt cover, the belt is fine. Then I noticed when I press the spray button there are bubbles in the bladder. What else can I check?
Maybe you just keep a really clean house? ;-) It's so hard to tell without being there to look at it, but if it's sucking water up and it's not dirty at all, either your floors are just really clean or maybe you're sucking it up right away without first allowing the machine to work in the cleaner fluid and loosen the dirt...
Hi, Im 65 years old. I have Neuropathy in both legs. I'm looking for a "Self" propelled carpet Shampooer. seems everybody has stopped making them. Bissell made one but has discontinued it.
Yeah, this one definitely didn't have that. I don't know of any myself as I have only ever used this one. Due to the need to go back and forth over one spot, I can understand why they're probably not making them.
Dude you Rock!!! You gave a great review of this product. I am so happy to have run across this video it was very help. You have a Great Day! Positively Stunning Personality!!! :)
hala beez , pull the water tank. A red gasket must be attached to the nipple on the underside of the water tank and not ion the floor that holds water tank
did you really just do a carpet cleaner without using it? I've found the one I just purchased a complete waste of $259, and doesn't at all pick up pet hair, yet that is what it was designed for.
Brooks Doughtie Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Obviously mine was a bit different. We use it on bedroom carpets (medium pile) as well as a high pile huge area rug in our living room and then with the attachment we do the stairs. We use a top notch vacuum that generally gets up most pet hair (I have a short hair dog) but the carpet cleaner did remove additional hair.
If the water is very dirty Is it ok to do this more than one time And keep filling it until water is clean ? Or is that too much water on carpet? I use it to clean pet accidents from my dog that's not fully trained yet and unfortunately my carpets are dark maroon so you don't see stains, but you can smell urine
I'm by no means a carpet cleaning expert - just an average user, but as far as I know, you can do more than one time - just make sure you suck all the water out as much as possible. When you feel like it's clean enough, you can go back over just sucking water out (not putting any more in). You want to suck as much water out as you can with the cleaner - then you just have to let it dry which can take longer the more you've put down. Having fans blowing on it can help. Depending on your carpet, it might work better to clean it, let it dry, then do it again (the next day) for a few days straight.
Hello, The brushes don't spin anymore, but the belts look intact. It was literally only used once:( Could it be the motor? It turns on and is quite loud...just no spin spin:/
It "could" be the motor, but there's no way I could really tell you. I would definitely contact the company if it stopped working and you only used it once! That's not right.
Just in case you aren't aware...the brushes are only supposed to spin when you hit the release and pull the handle down to start carpet cleaning. When you park it with the handle up the brushes stop spinning.
Thanks for sharing. I've had my Bissell in storage in my home. I would like to you it again on an area rug. I would like to know if yours still work pretty good???
Do the brushes spin around? Because mine doesn't. Also after two large rugs, only a small amount of water is in the compartment--is that normal? Also the carpet seems really wet after 24 hours. Thank you for your kindness...
I'm not a Bissell rep or an expert, just so you know. :-) But the brushed should definitely spin. As for water amount, it's hard to say without seeing, but I mean when you pull the trigger it's consistently putting down water and pulling up water. Even after the initial cleaning you can go back over it (without pulling the trigger for more water) to suck up additional water. If you do that well, it should definitely NOT take 24 hours to dry. It depends on the carpet of course, but our low pile carpet takes about 5-8 hours max (but we do live in a low humidity area - so it will take longer in high humidity). It sounds to me like maybe yours isn't sucking up as much water as it should be. When you're done, your carpet should be moist but not soaking wet... Hope that helps.
Thank you so much for your effort and time. Ok this one is broken because the brushes didn't turn and almost no water was sucked up. But For now the carpet looks clean. I will get it fixed... Thanks again.
Francine Rivers You can try this: www.bissell.com/faqdetail.aspx?id=1346 Otherwise, check the other FAQS on Bissell and/or maybe give their customer service a call.
Had a leak in my air conditioner and it soaked UNDER my carpet. I attempted to pull up the excess dirty water before trying to shampoo. It's an old unit, probably 10 yrs. It wouldn't pull up a drop. Is it only good for sucking up the water it sprays down on the carpet's surface, or is the machine broken?
I have a problem with the upholstery attachment. It seems very poor at sucking up the water dispersed. I wish you would have demonstrated it rather than just explaining. Maybe I'm holding the attachment wrong.
I am on my 3rd Bissell and have only used it once. It is not working and I am so sick of spending this kind of money. I cant figure out what its problem is. I have taken it completely apart and put it back together. I will not buy another one!
It doesn't release automatically - you do have to pull the trigger. But if you're doing that and it's not working, then something is obviously off or wrong but it's hard to diagnose what that is without being there to see it.
I would not recommend this for hard floors - it is especially designed for carpets and might damage hard floors. However because we're the kings of cleaning products, we do have a hard floor cleaner that works great! It's the Hoover FloorMate Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner. You can check it out on Amazon here: goo.gl/3uzW4n I plan on doing a review of it when I get time. We've had it for several months and it works great!
Thank you, actually got this one a few months ago, but i wasnt sure how the bladder works until now, thanks for the explanation. Another thing, should I pull the trigger every once in a while? or it would do it by itself? thanks for the video! keep it up!
I think you have to do it. Pulling the trigger releases the water/shampoo. It's always brushing and sucking up water, but it only releases water when you tell it to.
@@hollywoodfrodo very different? But like.....they both suck shit up, spin some brushes really really fast.....like, what exactly am I missing here? OHHHHHH that's right, Bissell still needs to make money off our asses so they make sure this crap can't perform an even simpler function like vacuuming.....god I love this cuntry.
Not first hand, I can't since I haven't personally used a better one. Not so say there isn't a better more expensive one out there - but I haven't used one.
