Customer Review: Bissell 7910 steam carpet cleaner
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had my Bissell Model 7920 steam carpet cleaner since January 2003, and it has performed well in the intervening five years. And it has done this service in a multi-cat household, meaning there is fur on the carpet that gets picked up. But I think it's entirely reasonable to figure on having to clean out furballs from the carpet cleaner, even with vacuuming first. This is not unduly difficult, and that includes removing the plastic intake assembly, which in turn means removing two screws. But it's worth it to know that I am putting my Bissell away with no residues to dry into caked-up deposits.
Yes, this machine is heavy, but that's why it has large wheels. And you don't get a heavy-duty motor and brush system in a steam cleaner that weighs only a few pounds.
I finally had to replace a broken drive belt, which wasn't as difficult as I feared. I used the ProHeat belt accessory pack, which comes with both the flat primary drive belt and the secondary, internally-toothed brush drive belt. Since you have to remove the secondary drive belt to access the primary drive belt, I figured that I might as well replace the secondary drive belt while I was at it. The belt replacement kit from Bissell costs $3.99, so I bought two kits so I would have a spare. The total cost, including tax and shipping, was an entirely reasonable $13.55. That brings my preventative maintenance cost to less than $3 per year.
This is a well-made machine, with a nice, extra-long power cable. I have no regrets about purchasing this steam carpet cleaner.
Description of Bissell 7920 ProHeat Pro-Tech Carpet Cleaner
Equipped with system for monitoring work speed and 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. The electronic monitor displays lights showing whether the machine is going back and forth too fast for optimum performance. This model also has an applicator for spraying 3M Scotchgard dirt-and-stain protector (8 ounces included) onto a carpet. Here's how the machine works: A plastic bottle for filling with Bissell's Fiber Cleansing Formula (16 ounces 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: normal, high traffic, and water rinse/carpet protector. 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
