Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 9200 ProHeat 2X Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner
Customer Review: Great machine, minor quirks, but does a great job
Summary: 4 Stars
It was interesting to read the experiences of others with this machine. Growing up my mother had an older carpet cleaner, so my main experiences with them had been an older-style one prior to getting this one. However, I tend to be very particular about what I like and am a bit of a perfectionist, so the fact that I am happy with this machine does say something.
First let me say that Bissell has a "low repair rate" according to Consumer Reports. Bissell is much less likely than for instance Hoover to break based on their research.
The machine was very, very easy to assemble. I did it while talking on the phone and it took less than 5 minutes. I only glanced at the instructions once or twice. It was easy to put the cleaning solution and the water into it and after only a few minutes I was ready to go. It is a little heavy, but not bad at all and I was easily able to maneuver it around the house.
I didn't have any problems with it leaving water in the carpet or not sucking the water back up. It did just fine in that area. I did have the clumps of hair that it kept pulling up that I had to keep picking up. I have two dogs and even though I had just vacuumed, apparently my vacuum doesn't get all of it, because this machine certainly does! Its a bit of a pain to have to keep picking it all up, but then again, I'm grateful that it is pulling it up. Someone without as many pets would probably be less likely to have this be as much of an issue.
Once I stopped shampooing and turned it off, it did leak a little bit of water, but not as much as some others are describing. I haven't seen it leak any of the cleaning solution, but I'm going to go ahead and take the cleaning solution container out of the machine so I don't have to worry about that being a problem.
It did a great job getting up spots that I hadn't been able to get up before and got them up very quickly! I was impressed and quite thrilled. There was one spot I had tried 3 or 4 times to get up by hand with Resolve and a few other cleaners, but to no avail. It took less than 5 minutes to get it up with this thing. Just a couple of minutes over an ink spot got that up too! I am quite happy with it and think its a very good buy. I hope this helps!
Customer Review: My carpet is clean! Yay!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this machine a few months and have used it to clean my carpet and my sectional and it works great! My carpet had stains that were set in (food, soda, pet stuff) and I thought there was no way they would come out. But I just ran the machine over them a couple of times and voila!, clean carpet. I couldn't believe it. I have pets that have accidents and hairballs, yuck!, but they are no problem now since I have this machine. My only regret is that I didn't get the model a little better than this one that has more tools and a dryer, but this is good enough for my needs and the floor is not left soaked when done. I have owned a couple of carpet cleaners in the past (Bissells included)and they just didn't work well at all so I wasn't sure I should buy this. I am glad I did because this generation of steam cleaners is far superior to the ones I've owned in the past. There is no comparison in the cleaning ability. I see some other reviews say it eventually stopped working so I will come back and edit post if I have any trouble, but so far, so good..and worth every penny.Customer Review: Love that Bissell!

I bought the 9200 ProHeat 2x on August 15, 2008. The next day I proceeded to clean my beige rug, which did have spots on it that I tried cleaning up this past year with spot remover. I was amazed how this machine cleaned my rug beautifully. Aside from those spots, the rug did not LOOK dirty, but the water in the dirty water tank was filthy! Yesterday I used the upholstery attachment on my two sofas and they look great-again, very filthy water. Mind you, looking at the 12 yr old sofas you'd not think they were dirty. So, I love my Bissell! I read the reviews here carefully and did not have any problems myself. Any inconveniences are already mentioned in other reviews, but I don't mind the extra work for a clean rug and upholstery. So, don't always believe the bad ratings. See for yourself like I did. I was prepared to take it back to the store if it did not meet my satisfaction, but I am satisfied how it cleans and how it DOES heat up the water 25 degrees more like it says. Customer Review: Love it 100%

I love this machine I have had it about 3 to 4 yrs. It is the best machine out there all the other one's do not compare. Tryed them and they do not compare. I have toddlers that make messes you could not even imagine. This machine does it all. Sofa's, carpet, even, bare floors for those oops i dropped the milk or koolaid. Even paint from people who came in to repair a wall and dropped a bucket of paint onto my carpet used it right away and it came out!!!!! By the way walmart sells an off brand of cleaning solution that works great and is cheaper. There is more expensive model above this one the attachments are better than this one however the price on this one is much more affordable. You can always buy the attachments for this later and save money.Customer Review: Stopped Spraying Solution!

I purchased this piece of junk for a friend so she could clean her carpets. After using it a few times it decided to stop spraying. Now all it can do is vacuum the floor and it is not very good at that either. My Hoover carpet cleaner does a mediocre job but at least it continues to work after 8 years!
