I wouldn't at all go by how this guy is using this. All you have to do is Google the model number with instruction or user manual after it. This guy clearly didn't read the instructions at all.
The "heater" is not only to help it dry faster, it is to do a better deep cleaning with hotter water/solution. Also you should not use this like a regular vacuum by racing it up and back. The forward (pushing away from you) stroke is to put down the water/solution, pulling back picks it up from the rug. Go SLOWLY.
@@TechandDesign So actually, I'm a genius when it comes to this sorta tech, I love repairing machines of this type. so your video popped up in my recommended so I was watching it to see how it performed, In doing so I just let you know that you were going to fast and it needs to be vacuumed first, the shampooer machine will get clogged badly and can even stop functioning correctly if the carpet is not vacuumed well before hand, And sense you posted this and it's popular, it feels like common sense to add that into the video so people don't Tear down there machines quickly, Now the clogging wont happen right away, but it does build up over time. Also the fact your comment was so passive proves to me that you know you were doing it wrong and now that people pointed it out, you are getting defensive cause you are having a hard time with the idea of someone correcting you. It's alright dude, I get corrected all the time. But when I get corrected i own up to it and say sorry, not get defensive and be passive about it. Now I gotta get back to repairing more machines so, if you excuse me I'll go now, hope this was helpful. And sorry if it seemed like we were being passive about it, It's not the case. We just wanna make sure everyone knows how to use these units properly so you don't spend hundreds of dollars repairing them every 2 months.
I'm THANKING GOD for you right now! my 100lb, Golden Ret Grandpuppy broke out of his crate overnight, had diarrhea on my brand new carpetting in my living room. I had FOUND this Bissell Heat 2X pet by a dumpster, looking in pretty good condition, but had no idea how to use it! OMGosh I am so thankful I looked up this model, and found your video!! I'm praying really hard right now! THANKS again!!
I just bought one from a friend had no idea how to use it. I want to thank you for this video you explained everything I need to know, you saved my ass.
You should always use the rinse feature. Otherwise you are leaving detergents in your carpet fibers. The chemical action of detergents is designed to attract dirt. So basically your carpets will get dirty again FASTER after cleaning if you don’t rinse cleaning agents out thoroughly. It’s literally the same reason that clothing washers have a rinse cycle. If you skip the rinse you are just making more work for yourself. Edit: also you’ve probably realized this since 8 years ago but the reason you got dirt clumps is because you didn’t vacuum properly (with a normal vacuum) before using the Bissell. You should always vacuum thoroughly before using a water-based carpet cleaning machine. The Bissells vacuum motor is not intended to have the power to suck up wet clumps of congealed dust and dirt, it’s only intended to suck back up the bulk of the water and soap that it dispenses.
Great video! We used this on our furniture to clean up behind our dogs, ended up posting a video to show how dirty the water was. Really impressed with this unit so far.
Very impressed with this presentation. Had to double check my self to make sure I was using correctly and this video made that possible..thank you your time to help us women out ...
I just found a ProHeat in the back of a closet and used it to clean up two spots that I thought were stains. The only reason I knew what to do was this video. Thanks a bunch!
Hot water does help drive faster but also every 10° doubles you’re cleaning power. There is acronym called tact which means temperature agitation chemical time, this is what you use when doing carpet and a pole street cleaning
Also the small clear cleaner solution tank, if you get it under some good light (outside lite is best) you will see, it does have an imprinted water level and above it a well-defined formula level ..if you take a black felt pen and very carefully and gently rub the tip of the pen on the letters, they will be highlighted and super easy to see and read..cheers ...
You should always do a good slow thorough vacuuming before using the bissell, then you won't have those clumps of fuzzy dirt to pick up by hand. Also when you pull the cleaner back you should go very slowly because that is when the water gets sucked up, or else you may get "wicking" which means stains will keep coming to the surface of the carpet from below because it is over saturated with water. Goal is to suction as much water up as possible.
This is what I was thinking. I always over wet when cleaning, but none of these ppl seem to rinse after cleaning. Wondering why? I always rinse until water is clean.
I wanted to give you a Big thank you for this video. My problem was the filter and I didn't even know it had one. Cleaned it and no other problem. I'm a happy camper now and my wife is too. Once again thank you very much. FIGHT ON!!!
This is a great video! I can’t thank you enough for your time in making it. I too was given mine and my carpet after puppy looks amazing.. partly thanks to you!
Good tutorial and enough information so I could start without even reading the manual. The extra gray fluff and dirt is usually found with a newer carpet. Just vacuum well. Thanks again.
thank you so much for this video and help me out a lot I didn't have the directions when I bought my carpet cleaner that's amazing thank you for everything you've done
Thanks for the tutorial. Person renting a room in my moms house moved out, the carpet is nasty but my mom had one of these in the garage. Trying this tomorrow.
Omg thank goodness thank you so much. I bought a old one from goodwill and there were no instructions for this model on the website anymore thank you so much
This is a great video you did awesome sir it can't get any simpler if and how you explained it. Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this for us. God's BLESSINGS to you! John
God Jesus. Have power that's unbelievable I had God come to me when I really take these things in me he came took them right out of me I was great ful to God
One thing we do with ours is clean a square or section then later that evening or before going over the same area again we vacuum. We have a dog with incontinence so we use it A LOT haha
If it stops sucking after several years because the tank rides high in the back: On the rear center of the tank bottom there is a nub. The knob fits in a rectangular hole in the base, make sure there's no debris in it. Grind the nub down (approx 1/2 in.). I dragged it across concrete, you can use real tools.
Great video for a dummy. You explained everything nice & easy. But I think I’m holding the trigger down to long because my carpet is pretty wet. Should I do water trigger less ? Again great video
I know this was made about 6 years ago but I have the same cleaner and I got it used. I cleaned all the parts, got it all put back together and when I turn it on, it doesn’t put solution out or suck it up. What am I doing wrong! It looks like it was taken care of by the previous owners.
+acguevera that spitting out all that dirt is not normal. It does happen but that was too much spewed out on the area you were cleaning shoetly after turning it on. Also your hose had a clog of dirt and you should clean the machine 's detachable parts thoroughly after using or before to prevent too much dirt clumps spitting up like that. I prefer to clean it after use that way it doesn't dry and stick in the machine to make more dirt for the next cleaning.
Water rinse is IMPORTANT!!! It rinses the shampoo out of the carpet so residue is removed!! You wouldn't wash your hair with shampoo and not rinse would you???....
I live in an apartment (Kingsway & Edmonds ), where a lot of immigrants are constantly coming and going, Sometimes they leave really good stuff by the dumpsters in the underground parking area ...anyway I picked up an almost new one of these exact machines been sitting for a couple years and with Christmas approaching fast I better get on some cleaning guess I got to figure out where to buy the concentrated cleaner from in my neck of the cement jungle
Thank you for the info! I was very fortunate as someone gave me their vacuum for free when they found out I was having a baby, but had no idea how to use it with out instructions. How hot should water be? Is there a too hot or too cold?

I thought the reservoir had two compartments, one for hot water and another for water picked up from the carpet. I'm not getting any water sucked up, just as you showed. If it doesn't do that, why have the second compartment?
I purchased this one years ago only used it a few times now it just sits there doing nothing with it tiny rubber that's hold a little bit of water they called it if I remember correctly' the liver bag' it useless in my case my machine doesn't seem to work right after a few uses, it huge bulky and heavy weight size it NOT worth getting this thing. HOWEVER I just now got done using a BRAND NEW BISSELL REVOLUTION PET CARPET CLEANER and it's just just wonderful! it's got a TANK above that holds mega water and you could see the solution being added to the water at eye level, ITS A MUCH BETTER MORE ADVANCED MACHINE THAN THE OLDER HUGE HEAVY BULKY STYLE ONES WITH A "TINY" WATER BAG!HIDDEN AT THE NARROW BOTTOM.
Good to know. Well for me - this still works - no problem. Usually when they stop working is because they need to be cleaned. Most likely taken apart to clean
I can't get the water to come out on to the carpet, what am I doing wrong? PLEASE, PLEASE help me!! I was going to wash my carpets 4 hours ago and can't figure out the problem.
Thank you for the video. When i tried to take out the water, there was very little and it did not change color. looks like most of the water is on the floor!
By the way the video was extremely helpful it was just not knowing how much solution to put in I went all over the Internet and some said 7oz in some said 2 and 1/2 oz you said half and half but I don't I don't know if we have the exact same machine but the unit that that takes the ocean doesn't say how much but it's pretty much the same as yours it just doesn't have all the little buttons you turn to what you want it just has Heat putting it on is one side and heat is the other
My sister gave me her old Bissell without instructions. You my dear are a lifesaver! Your tutorial is an older one but still accurate.
Glad it helped!
Yes!! Same for me. I bought it and never used it. Couldn't find the manual..this was a true life saver.

Not only that but the floor does not seemed very vacuum by the way that shampooer kept picking up and making black furr ball things.

My machine's brushes aren't going around. Shouldn't they be rotating or something?
@@adriankeene7857 check your brush belt, if its been more than a year, its probably brittle/broken off

Thanks for the how to video, high tech vacuums today are so hard, back in the 90's there was just on or off switch!
Well this one will wash your carpet - so it's not a regular vacuum
I came across a new model hardly used but no instruction. You are a life saver.
Thank u n God Bless I'm 68 but Ur help was perfect to where anyone can understand I was lost Thk u for patience
You should always do a good slow thorough vacuuming before using the bissell, then you won't have those clumps of fuzzy dirt to pick up by hand.

Sometimes you just do anyways.
The rinse feature is very important to use, it cleans the lines in the machine from getting built up, and it makes your carpet cleaner.
This is what I was thinking. I always over wet when cleaning, but none of these ppl seem to rinse after cleaning. Wondering why? I always rinse until water is clean.

The outer compartment is for collecting water that should be sucked up,if like mine it doesn't suck up the water then the suction has failed.

Good to know. Well for me - this still works - no problem. Usually when they stop working is because they need to be cleaned. Most likely taken apart to clean
I just got this used from someone and tried it out but the brushes weren’t spinning. Is that normal?

Im having the same issue on one that I just picked up. Did you ever figure it out?
Good vid..but when you were using it in tool mode, does it work better when you put it in floor?
Thank you for the video. When i tried to take out the water, there was very little and it did not change color. looks like most of the water is on the floor!

By the way the video was extremely helpful it was just not knowing how much solution to put in I went all over the Internet and some said 7oz in some said 2 and 1/2 oz you said half and half but I don't I don't know if we have the exact same machine but the unit that that takes the ocean doesn't say how much but it's pretty much the same as yours it just doesn't have all the little buttons you turn to what you want it just has Heat putting it on is one side and heat is the other

are you still having problems with the Bissel Proheat?
