Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 1699-1 PowerSteamer Proheat Clearview Plus Powered Hand Tool Carpet Cleaner
Customer Review: Cleans great . . . but quits spraying on third use
Summary: 2 Stars
This machine worked very nice the first two times I used it. Then, like so many other customers, my unit quit spaying. Sure enough, I took mine apart like those before me, and the heater was plugged up with lime and calcium. Terrible design flaw. Rather than attempting to fix it, I bypassed the heater with a piece of my own tubing. It works great now, minus the "extra-hot" water. If you buy this, use ONLY distilled water in the one gallon tank. The manufacturer should have thought of this. One nice thing I will say about the 1699. . . it IS powerful and picks up a lot of deep down dirt.

Description of Bissell 1699-1 PowerSteamer Proheat Clearview Plus Powered Hand Tool Carpet Cleaner
Equipped with a heater for boosting performance, this upright machine deep-cleans carpets and rugs by forcing a warm solution of water and cleansing concentrate into fibers and vacuuming up the dirty solution. The 1440-watt machine also scrubs bare floors (but not hardwood floors) and cleans stairs, upholstery, auto interiors, and even mattresses with onboard tools that spray dirty surfaces and crevices with the cleaning solution. A powered hand-tool that either brushes or vacuums at the flick of a switch accompanies the machine and attaches to a flexible accessories hose. The heater's advantage over ordinary machines is that it increases the cleaning solution's temperature (up to but not exceeding 180 degrees F) and prevents the solution from cooling. Here's how the machine works: A plastic bottle for filling with Bissell's Fiber Cleansing Formula (not included) fits into the base. A removable 1-gallon tank contains a bladder to hold clean water for mixing with the cleansing concentrate. (Dirty water vacuumed by the machine collects around the bladder.) A dial offers three settings for various tasks: water-only, normal, and high traffic. A trigger on the machine's handle applies solution as desired. A flow-indicator spins when solution is applied and stops if the tank needs refilling. There's a switch for applying solution through the tools: tough-stain brush, upholstery tool, bare-floor head, crevice tool, pretreat wand. (The machine does not heat solution for tools.) The machine's 12-inch floating brush-roll automatically adjusts for carpet heights. Safe for virtually all carpets and upholstery fabrics, the deep-cleaning method can be turned off for dry-vacuuming delicate wool and Oriental rugs. The machine quickly assembles in five steps, using two bolts and nuts and two Phillips-head screws (all included). An especially understandable assembly/instruction booklet accompanies the machine, which carries a 1-year warranty against defects. --Fred BrackCarpet Cleaners & Shampooers
