Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 9400 ProHeat 2X Select Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner
Customer Review: Great cleaner!
Summary: 5 Stars
After years of using a Hoover SteamVac, and messing with the tangles of cord and hose (which never stays in the holder anyway), I got the Bissell Proheat 2X - great machine! Got to be light with the trigger, as it puts down a lot of water, but it gets it up very well. I don't think my carpets have ever looked this nice or felt so soft. The Fiber Cleaning Solution is great as well. Of course when I bought my original carpet cleaner, they came out with the on-board heating models the next day. That feature alone is worth the price. I can't believe how much crud this thing will pick up. Only very minor drawback is when it was shipped, the left-hand belt was off the track (brushes wouldn't turn), but was able to get it back on in a manner of minutes with a minimum amount of work. The user's guide is very helpful and good for even the most mechanically disinclined. Customer Review: Terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this model after having a Hoover for years. This thing was a nightmare from day one. Unlike my Hoover this cleaner left my rugs soaked even though I would go over them several times. After a year the only way I could get the sprayer to work was to prime it then I would get a few seconds worth of spraying. I am going back to the Hoover.Customer Review: Worth the money - your carpet is dirtier than you think!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this steam cleaner from Sam's Club. The Sam's Club specific model number is 8960, but don't be fooled - it's this item.
The first time I used the product, I was disappointed to find that I spent two hours cleaning two rooms only to realize that NO formula was missing from the container! After I figured out how it worked, I realized that I must not have pushed the formula container in all the way. Sure enough, pressed it down harder and the next pass used a LOT of formula, but it sure did get my carpet clean.
I was amazed by how much this picked up. Not only the dirty water, but even BUGS that were in my carpet! I had a few little beetles and a handful of ants all deeply embedded that my Hoover vacuum missed. These suckers must have been deep in there because I didn't see them with the naked eye, but there they were floating around in the water when done.
If you are purchasing this, please be aware of two "areas of concern." One, a bottle of cleaner will only work for 2 - 3 rooms, depending on size. If you are doing more, you will need to pick up more cleaning formulat. Two, be prepared to make frequent refilling trips for the water resevoir. It's convenient to have the clean and dirty water all in one container (separated, of course), but that limits it's capacity to one gallon of water at a time. In an average size room (200 sq ft), you'll probably end up using about 3 gallons of water.
That being said, this is a great product that does all that it should very well. It's a little heavy, so keep that in mind if you are physically small and/or weak.
One complaint I do have with this model is with one of the attachments. It is stored on the side of the handle while attached to the tool hose. This attachment sticks out farther than the rest of the unit, and twice I banged it against the wall. This causes the attachment and hose to turn slightly, forcing the tool trigger to depress, squirting water everywhere. Luckily, it's just water so no harm done, but it would really suck if you accidently sprayed something and damaged it!
Customer Review: nice lookin' rugs
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used this Bissell on three rugs and it really does the job. People have commented about how much cleaner the rugs look. This is an amazing buy for it's price. The only down side is that the cleaner leaves behind these fuzz balls (which are easy to pick up or vac).
Customer Review: THIS IS THE MACHINE!
