Bissell ProHeat 2X Select Upright Deep Carpet Steamer Vacuum 9400M Reviews

Best Home Carpet Cleaner

Overall

Rated 4 out of 5

THe BIssel home carpet shampooer is not perfect, but after trying different commercial shampooers, rentals and home machines, this one is by the far the best. The others would be lucky to get 2 stars (including the commercial companies). It is amazing how much dirt gets sucked up into the machine. When we had a dog and 2 cats in the house we used it bi-monthly (probably should have used it more often). Now down to one cat and having replaced some of the carpet with hardwood flooring, we just use it several times a year. It works okay on upholstery too, but not as well on older dirt. Carpets are its main claim to fame. We borrowed one from a friend to try it out since he had highly recommended it and were impressed enough to buy our own.

i've been going back and forth for quite some time on whether i should hire someone to clean my carpets, if i should rent a cleaner, or if i should purchase a cleaner. after doing a bit of research for the past couple of months, i decided on the latter. i found a few carpet cleaners and narrowed it down to a couple and finally decided on this product. i ordered it online and anticipated its arrival. when it finally did arrive (a couple of days earlier than its estimated delivery date), i was quite excited to put it all together and test it out. i chose to test it out on two areas - one which had a stain from a spill that set in to the carpet and the other in a high traffic area which is righ...

I was furious when my husband brought this home as a "surprise" and for $150 on our credit card. But 4 years later, I love the fact that he bought it and couldn't see having two toddlers without it! The Bissell 9400 ProHeat Upright Wet/Dry Vacuum has been amazing at doing a quick clean up for orange juice in the living room, or a deep clean throughout the whole house. For the 1st year we owned this carpet cleaner we had a dog that would bring in mud from one end of the house to the next. My husband would get it cleaned up within an hour! I love the smart mix feature because it took the guess work out of having to figure out how much cleaner to put in it.  I love the ease of changing the...

Only got 1 good rug cleaning out of this, not worth the money.

We purchased this steamer last year in 2010 around March so we have owned it for a year and I bought it because with 2 kids and 3 dogs I really wanted a splurge and have my own carpet cleaner, I thought it would make my life easier but it sucks. I feel that I only received 1 really good carpet cleaning and couch cleaning and that was is, it hasn't worked fine since. But it was too late to return it by the time that I found out it didn't work well anymore since I only do the rugs every 6 months. We have all hardwood floors so I got it for our 2 big area rugs and the couch and love seat so I didn't even have a full carpeted room and it still sucks.

The issues I have with it are it doesn't ...

This Bissell Carpet cleaner works wonders!

Overall

Rated 4 out of 5

The Bissell Carpet Shampooer cleans carpets very well. It was very reasonably priced, and the Bissell cleaner liquid used is reasonably priced. The Bissell Carpet Shampooer is a must have if you have babies, kids, or pets. The Bissell Carpet Shampooer leaves the carpet clean after spills, baby spit up, and pet accidents. The instructions for use of the Bissell Shampooer are easy to understand and follow. As well as cleaning up spills and accidents, the Bissell Carpet Shampooer is capable of cleaning entire rooms of carpet, leaving the carpets looking like a professional has cleaned the carpet. The Bissell Carpet Shampooer was one of the best investments that I made after moving into a newly carpeted house. My carpets still look great thanks to my Bissell!

Make sure you buy 2....you'll need 1 for parts!

We got the Bissel Proheat Carpet Cleaner a few years ago as a Christmas gift. Loved it and it cleaned our carpets wonderfully. We did everything that it recommended. Used the right soap with it, did sections at a time, changed the water when needed, and when we were done ran water through it. The carpet itself came out pretty well, except for wet lint everywhere. after the carpet dried I had to go over the carpet with a vacuum. I vacuumed before using it as well.

The last year we have had numerous problems with our Bissel carpet cleaner. We have had to order over $100 in parts and luckily we are good at fixing it ourselves otherwise we would be paying for service too. We have had ...

Can't say enough good things about the Bissell 94004 vacuum!

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

We honestly cannot say enough positive things about this wonderful vacuum cleaner. We just had our second baby in May 2010 and a clean-cycling, efficient vacuum cleaner was a must-have. (We previously used a simple Dirt Devil that worked just fine, however we purchased a home in September with much thicker carpet, and our Dirt Devil didn't adjust to its height.) While shopping for a vacuum cleaner, brand wasn't as much of an issue, however cost, warranty, and a vacuum specifically designed for pet hair removal were our main requirements.  We have a long-hair, constantly shedding cat, and a short-hair poodle/shih tzu-mix that attracts outside ...

After moving into our house we were proud owners of nearly new WHITE carpet.  With a cat, grape juice lovingtwo year old, and a baby on the way, we were worried!  My husband did some research and decided that the Bissell Proheat 9400 Upright wet/dry vacuum would be a great match for us.  

He was right!  We use this machine several times a week.  It has truely been a carpet saver!  It is very easy to use and it works.  It has gotten out grape juice, fruit punch, tomato sauce, cat vomit, soda, and coffee. 

My only complaints are the weight and the noise level.  This machine is pretty heavy.  I have trouble taking it up the stai...

We got the Bissel Carpet Shampooer during a Black Friday deal last year.  At first we really loved it.  I especially loved that it was fairly quiet, and that the attachments worked so well.  We live in an upstairs apartment, so the shampooers that you rent were just too loud for us to use.  This was pretty quiet, only slightly louder than our vaccum.  The hose/accessories also worked really well.  I loved using it to clean our microfiber couch and chairs.  Also, it was great to be able to use the hose for spot cleaning, when I needed to scrub a stain but didn't want to haul out and shampoo the entire room.

Fast forward to the 5th or 6th month of use, ...

Mechanism that holds handle upright broke first, so you cant let go of the machine or it will fall to the floor, then a wheel came off, broken can't be fixed, took it to local shop to be fixed, because it was out of warranty, they laughed, showed me their repair room, more bissells than anything else is brought to them, don't waste your money on bissell's, buy hoover.. no kidding, ive had two bissells and will never own another, both dead within two years, one dead within one year, i had a hoover before that lasted ten years, going back to them, thanks ~ Rod

Bissell Carpet Shampoer makes cleaning carpets easy

Overall

Rated 4 out of 5

We bought the Bissell cleaner because we have two dogs a lot of company,live on the water and have a 2400 square feet house. Our carpet need cleaned several times a year and renting the cleaner was a hassle and exspensive. We bought the 7920 series with 12 amp power.    It heats the water for better cleaning and is easy to use. It can also be used for upholstery., it has a really short drying time picks back up so much water is almost dry when finished. When we were renting them a lot of times they wouldn't pick back up any of the water. Also had it professionally done a few times was that a mistake, took three days to dry.With the Bissell our carpet looks brand new and it is almost ten years old.We have had no problems getting the parts we need on line, belts we had to order the tank lid once because husband broke it, parts were here within two days.The biggest pluss of this machine is having it in the house when you need it. 

LOVE this product!

We recently moved into a home where the previous owners had a dog. We really thought we were going to have to replace the carpet in a couple of rooms. We borrowed one of these cleaners from my in-laws and used it once and bought our own! I can't believe how clean it got the carpets! They look brand new and it has been a few weeks and none of the stains have come back. I absolutely LOVE this machine!

I was very disappointed in this machine.  It seemed to work fairly well at first, but then within a couple months the machine was clogging and then the belt broke.  I replaced the belt right away, but in the short time that elapsed from the belt going to the replacement the bar that rotates had chunks out of it and the machine was so loud.  I definitely would not recommend this product.

Excellant wet dry vacuum. I would recommend to everyone. My son's had spilled a grape colored liquid on our off white carpet and the Bissell Pro heat was able to lift the stain without any extra effort.

We purchased the bissel pro heat carpet cleaner because we got tired of wasting money every six months to rent a carpet cleaner only to have to do an all nighter doing carpets and having to rush the machine back to the store. I honestly love it and when I'm done the entire room spells great!
