Bissell Proheat Deep Cleaner Vacuum Reviews

We bought this before having our carpets professionally cleaned for a cost of $55 for just our living room, a 12x16 space.  Not sure how to use it at first, we decided we would just pay to have the room cleaned and then start using the machine afterwards to keep up w/ our four dogs and common foot traffic.  After being disappointed with the results of the professional steam cleaning and teflon protectant that was applied to our carpet, we decided to try the Bissell Pro Heat.  We had purchased it for around $260. 

 We are never paying to professionally clean the carpets again!  The ProHeat...

I have the Bissell Proheat Deep Cleaner and love it!  I had a professional company come one year ( I was being lazy) and after they left I had to clean the carpet because it was not clean enough.  After that I just use my machine because I paid that company $150, I only paid $230 for my machine and use it ALOT with my 2 little girls and my light beige carpet. 

You will pull out lots of yucky dirt, you won't believe it was even in the carpet before.  Even if you just used it twice it would pay for itself.  And if you have little one's running around you really need this-they think nothing of...

This is a terrific machine!  It not only shampoos the carpet - it pulls stuff out that the vacuum missed!

Lightweight - no, but it is maneuverable.  And the hand tools that come with it are really great on the furniture.

The one - and only - downside is that the "dirty water" tank is hard to clean out completely.  The last time I used the machine, my husband and I just about took it totally apart to get the sand and grit out of the *catch* tank.

This steam cleaner really does provide a good value, and is very effective as a home cleaning machine. The heater gives it an edge over similar home cleaners, and the spot target feature is great for stains and very dirty areas.

The only trouble  I have had was finding replacement parts when my children broke the bladder inside the water tank, but if you are in the US that will not be a problem. Bissel stands behind their products and looks after their customers.

I purchase this product and I regret ever having done so.  Before the first year was up it was in the shop for motor replacement.  Now it is in the shop again because it just fell apart inside.  Of course Bissell says it was my fault not factory defect.  I will never buy or recommend their products to anyone who is wanting to get their monies worth.
