Excellent full size carpet cleaner for home and car use. Does a great job of getting all the ground in dirt up!
You should do a video cleaning a carpet, showing the entire set up and also make recommendations of those cleaners solutions to use with the Bissell
This company is amazing. I bought a used Bissell at a resale shop with additional warranty and got cleaner home, started cleaning carpets and it quit working. I called the warranty number for Bissell and Bissell sent me a brand new cleaner for free!! Thank you Bissell not only do you have great cleaning machines, but yall give the utmost customer service thats above and beyond. Our family will always choose Bissell. Thanks again Melissa Darden Big Spring Tx
Melissa Darden so how long have you been working for them?

Had mine about 3 yrs now and, love it!!! The suction (even after 3 yrs) is unbelievable!!! Best carpet cleaner on the market by far!!! Reading through the comments left here I noticed someone talking about the floor staying wet for 6-8 hrs??? I have NEVER had that problem with this machine! If used correctly, this thing gets the water and dirt out of even the padding, better than a pro.....I will never own anything else and, NEVER pay anyone to do a lesser job with lesser "professional" equipment!!!
Agreed!
I've had my bissel carpet cleaner for 7 years and it's still amazing!!
Wow - now that's a good testament! We haven't had ours near that long but good to know they hold up over the long haul.
@@hollywoodfrodo do you still have this
@@TheVacuumWizard Not any longer. We don't have carpet in our current house.
Would have liked you to address any troubleshooting issues for example the red latch by the bladder you did not mention what that does and I think it controls the suction of the dirty water into the tank but I'm not sure. things like that would have been helpful
I have had this machine for about 8 years. I do not use it a lot as we have no children or pets. Excellent machine and I look after it by rinsing it through with clean water after using it. I also had the problem where it would not give any soap solution. The nipple under the carpet solution dispenser had got attached to the wrong bit.
thanks i bought a 2nd hand one without instructions cover everything and is easy to follow, time to shampoo everything in the house
i have one and its really good but the only problem i had was when the tubes was clogged. it took forever to figure out the trouble and i had a hard time removing the tubes to clean. but over all its a good machine.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Helped a lot to decide what wet back to by next.
Emanuel Dávila You're welcome - glad you found it helpful.
No problem hollywoodfrodo. This vaccum is an improvement over our old Steam Vac. Review was accurate. The only thing I would add (and I am not sure you mentioned it or not) is that the brushes of the attachment for hand cleaning do not rotate. In that area the Steam Vacc was better, but overall I am happy with it. Thanks again for the review!
One major tip for only owners or users of this particular model. Be dang sure when you are done using the cleaning machine to run a good tank or two or clean hot/warm water completely through the machine. Even add a little vinegar to the water and place over a floor drain or take outside and run the water through the spray system. If you do not do this I have 2 of these exact same models and they clog up real bad with old cleaning solution which after a while dries up in the heater coils and you are screwed because the 2 or 3 sprayers will not spray and it is a pain in the butt to clean out the heater. Other wise the machine works very well. Good Luck
Great tip!
Do you know how to clean the sprayers, because mine appear to be clogged. I bought it used and was told that it worked, but I kept it in the garage for a couple of years not using it. Thanks
@@JM-yr6fr If you call Bissell they have technical help that will tell you precisely what to do to unclog the sprayer. If that does not help you have to take it to a vacuum repair center where they can take the whole cleaner apart and get the old cleaning solution out of the lines. The old cleaning solution turns to a glue substance if you do not clear out the machine after each use. Hope this helps. I had to take both my cleaners to a Bissell Repair shop to get the sprayers to work. About $75.00 each but they did a good job.
Pretty good video and laid out well I could not have used this machine without it
Excellent review. Thanks. You're the only one to explain how you know when it's time to emoty the unit. Well done.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
I just got one of these second hand, with no instructions or book. This video was super helpful. Thank you!
Thanks - glad I could help!
Needs to show a vid on HOW to clean the shampooer itself. TY
Hi Sid - I tend to do more Product Reviews w/Basic demos as opposed to how to videos. But I could see how that would be helpful. I'll keep that in mind as a future possibility. Thanks!
hollywoodfrodo Thank you....that would be most helpful b/c it looks as though one would have to unscrew the plastic cover over the bristles. Just think maybe there's an easier way.
Thank you very much for the explanation of the Bissell when I've got to tell you you didn't drone on and on and on you did an amazing job and I thank you for that you don't like to hear yourself talk to you like to really actually show people what you're talkin about thanks again Eric you have a great day I own one too and I love it
Well.... If you watch a lot of my videos, you might change your mind a bit. haha My videos tend to be very detailed and covering lots of details takes lots of time, depending on the product. I do tend to be long-winded as my spouse can account to. ;-) But I'm glad you found this helpful!
Thank you! Just got this machine and you made it all look easy to use. Thanks for taking the time to do this review.
I am on my second 2x trying to get it to work
Read about priming with power off the hose attachment ...hold the button 30 seconds
And i got water to spray
I just broke piece on the bottom latch so until i get out to shed of first non working init
I will clean carpeted steps by using the solution i mixed and scrub and use a shop vac
I think ive bought my kast carpet shampooer
How is yours working?
Another you tuber found the heating element all clogged
He recommended clearing clog and leaving heat off
And running plain water through both tanks before storing
Thank you for making this video! Someone gave me a used one and I didn’t have the manual. I couldn’t figure it out.
Glad it helped!
I had this machine and it does work pretty well. But, if you have pets , i dont care how well you vacuum first this machine will be covered with pet hair in the brush area and suction area. It is a pain in the but to take it apart to remove the brushes to clean them after each use. After a year it would not spray water and cleaner any more which remdered it junk. I used it monthly, so i got about 12 uses. So if 300 a year for a new one every year if justifiable to you then get it.
I would think pet hair would get stuck under that bladder. For pet owners, this seems like this bladder design would not be a good idea. How was your experience? Did pet hair get stuck inside the tank, under the bladder?
Thank you! This video was wonderful. It made me comfortable to use my carpet cleaner.... I really appreciate your video....
You're welcome - thanks for taking time to let me know it helped!
I just bought a model#1383. I am a little confused on where to put the cleaning solution.
use distilled water to avoid calcium build-up. this secret they never tell you. your machine will last forever. Also, there's a difference in cleaning solutions, so, only use the recommended type. ;)
Has anyone have any problems with Bissell pro heat 2 / it is not sucking or vacuum up the water and soap mixture out of carpet cleaner??
Cynthia Mathews yes same issue here
You have to clip the front down that's what he didn't show the brush suppose to go underneath.
Latisha Day i just broke my clip. Grrrrrrr dropped the removable tank ugggg
I am having same problem same problem
Yes same here. Am I doing something wrong
Just replacing the original belt in mine.
Bought it in 1998
Bissel Pro Heat self propelled.
Cleaned a lot of carpet and furniture with that thing.
Wow - that's a long lasting machine! These really are great.
my bissel carpet cleaner has sometimes and right now only the hand held works dont have suction on main i tried to figure it out nothing i solved now its in the garage maybe i just throw it away after using it 5x since 2009,bought it at target.
Bernardo de Jesus
Maybe if I used it more than I have- but I like my hover better. I prefer the separate tank design for dumping water
Watching this. Still not sure where to add the cleaning solution to. What part of machine
How do you clean the unit, like hair that gets clogged further into the floor tank unit
My brushes are not working. They do not rotate and not sure how to turn them on. Or are they broken?
My question is, when you squeeze the trigger on top to mix with cleaning solution,with the water, you said something about, setting the knob to clear, will this suck up the soap,that’s, on the carpet? Would it be a good idea to clean the whole carpet or in sections ? I like your video. Thanks.
I have the same cleaner it worked great last time I used it. I used it yesterday and it emptied the whole clean water tank and it didn't suck any water out of the carpet to be disposed of. Any thoughts on what's wrong? Thanks
I've had about six or seven Bissell machines and over the years found them to work great. But I've seen a lot of people online bashing the hell out of them for some reason? Saying they don't spray or they don't have good suction
Yeah, I don't know if it's just 1 out of every 50 is bad... and of course if I got that one, I'd be bashing them too... But they generally make good stuff so not sure why so many people have a bad experience.
And what happens when no water comes out from the machine? Please let me know how can I fix this problem
glad i watched this b/4 i did something crazy. you're very thorough and easy to follow. thanks,
Mary Patchell You're welcome and thanks for taking the time to say so!
The water isn’t coming out when I squeeze the trigger n idk how long to press it
I really appreciate this detailed review - my cousin got one but we have not used it yet and thinking I will get one of my own
You're welcome! Or you can just borrow your cousin's from time to time and treat him/her to McDonald's as payment. :-)
Eric Wrye just loved the idea , you are genius 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for your video. I found a resolution to my problem...👍
Awesome
THANKS, GREAT REVIEW. WOULD HAVE LIKE TO SEE YOU EXPLAIN WHAT SMALLER TOOL DOES. ALSO WHEN YOU WERE EXPLAINING SETTINGS, I WASNT SURE IF ONE OF THE SETTINGS CALLS FOR WATER ONLY IN THE TANK TO RINSE THE CARPET OF THE PRODUCT OR WHAT YOU MEANT. I THINK YOU MEAN PUT CLEAR WATER IN TANK AND GO OVER CARPET AND THEN SUCK UP WATER TO RINSE OUT/ REMOVE PRODUCT RIGHT?. THANKS TONS THOUGH, JUST NEEDED CLARIFIATION ON A FEW THINGS. I'M GOING TO START CLEANING MY CARPETS RIGHT NOW THANKS TO YOU. AWESOME!
Dude you Rock!!! You gave a great review of this product. I am so happy to have run across this video it was very help. You have a Great Day! Positively Stunning Personality!!! :)
La Tenya James Thanks - you made my day! :-)
My pro heat is not useing shampoo help
Where do I get parts ? Suction nozzle has come apart at seams.
Thank you so much for your video. It explained everything that I wanted to know. Great video,
Thanks for taking the time to say so and thanks for watching!
I can't seem to put the belts back on can you help
Can’t find out why the roller is not working or moving
I was wondering How easy is it to clean the machine it self? Does the dirty water come out easily from around and under the bladder? and How durable is the bladder and how long does it last and can it be replaced easly?
Cleans fairly easily. Bladder should last as long as the machine unless you puncture it or something. Haven't had to replace it so honestly don't know how easy/hard that would be.
Thank you for the info. very helpful
Where do I get parts. Suction nozzle has come apart I live in Snellville Ga
Bissell website!
How do you fix when the suction lip that's joined to the tank doesn't meet up with the plastic covering around the front that covers the brushes where it's supposed to suck up dirty water from the floor it hangs over the plastic part in the front?
Thank you for such a detailed video. You're a lifesaver!
Glad you found it helpful!
How to remove dirt which bag ?
So I need to know how to take off the portion that contains the bristle brushes. I have a long haired dog and my only complaint is I can't find direction to clean his fur out of there. We vacuum for regular touch ups, but accidents happen between vacuuming sessions and he's a year round shedder. I love everything about this shampooer (we bought ours in 2010 & it's still awesome), but the fur that has collected is wet & it gets wet all over with each use & ends up smelling like wet dog for a week. I just don't want to ruin it as the warranty is up and it works great not to mention it wasn't cheap (although sooooooo worth the investment). Please help!
Comprehensive review of this Bissell carpet shampooer!
Thanks for watching.
Hi, Im 65 years old. I have Neuropathy in both legs. I'm looking for a "Self" propelled carpet Shampooer. seems everybody has stopped making them. Bissell made one but has discontinued it.
Yeah, this one definitely didn't have that. I don't know of any myself as I have only ever used this one. Due to the need to go back and forth over one spot, I can understand why they're probably not making them.
Great review. Answered all of my questions! Thanks
WeiserLiving Thanks. glad you found it helpful.
Where do you put the soap
when you suck up the water you spray can you be able to immediately see the water being sucked up
what's. wrong if the nozzle dont works
Doesn't look like the tank holds as much as the older models. How many times did you have to fill it to finish, say, a 12ft X 12ft area?
Does that carpet cleaner suck up.the dirty water up so it dont leave the carpet wet after you are are done cleaning it ?
Yes, it does! The carpet would still be damp, but the cleaner sucks up most of the water.
Thanks for the for the handhold Superman. too bad you didn't show how to use it.
What model is this? There are quite a few different models and I have a low pile cream colored carpet. It gets dirty real fast.
I have the same one and it's not spraying out
hala beez this is a well known issue with this cleaner
hala beez , pull the water tank. A red gasket must be attached to the nipple on the underside of the water tank and not ion the floor that holds water tank
Thank you, it really helped a lot!
My mom pooped in my carpet. It’s black and very stinky. Will this work?
thanks man this was helpful and great
The cleaning solution is coming out and working and the underneath brushes working but,,,,, no water being sucked up ???
I can't bet the water to come out onto the carper, can anyone help me???
Thanks for the good information.
It really help👍🏼
Glad you found it helpful - thanks for watching!
Thank you, actually got this one a few months ago, but i wasnt sure how the bladder works until now, thanks for the explanation. Another thing, should I pull the trigger every once in a while? or it would do it by itself? thanks for the video! keep it up!
I think you have to do it. Pulling the trigger releases the water/shampoo. It's always brushing and sucking up water, but it only releases water when you tell it to.
Thanks for sharing. I've had my Bissell in storage in my home. I would like to you it again on an area rug. I would like to know if yours still work pretty good???
Actually, I don't have it any longer. We moved to a house with all laminate flooring and didn't keep the Bissell.
Thank you so very much, this video really helped.
You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
Is it good for cleaning hardfloor and tiles?
How do get the brushes on the carpet cleaner working
Thank you so much, very very helpful
I'm glad you found it helpful.
Very informative & helpful thx so much 👍🏿
Glad it was helpful!
I have one of does and its work great!
+Marina Campos Thanks for sharing your experience!
I can't get the shampoo to come out I won't get wet on the carpet
I need your help Eric, i bought my cleaner 2 years ago, used it once and left it in the closet for over a year and now it want spray out the liquid. the brushes spin but the liquid doesn't come out. you were so good at this video i am hoping you can help me with mine
Hi Terri - yikes! I wish my expertise were of a technical level that could answer that, but unfortunately, it's not. I would definitely recommend emailing or calling Bissell Customer Service and see if they have an idea. I wouldn't tell them you bought it two years ago though. :-) Just tell them you've had it in the closet and haven't used it for over 9 months. Maybe they have a suggestion you can try to get it working again. Keep me posted - I'd like to know how it goes.
hollywoodfrodo thanks for taking the time to answer me. i have looked on you tube at several other people that have this same problem but everything I did to try to fix it just didn't work for me sooooooo I will call the customer service dept. and see what they suggest. Again thank you for your response
Terri Straley You're welcome and please keep us posted on what they say. I'm sure others would like to hear if there's a solution.
Terri Straley I have the same problem, I just tore into mine to see if the heater core was clogged, but no it isn't, I put new belts on it, it still won't spray, I will do more tomorrow, I did get it put back together, but I am raising 2 Granddaughters that have school in the morning, so will finish & see if it works then, if you found out what the problem to yours is, please would love to know, I hate to have to buy another one!!
Est-ce que je peux l'utiliser comme aspirateur seulement ??sans utiliser de l'eau.
It would not make a good vacuum - no. It has a different purpose.
I have a problem I'm using it but I dont have any dirty water. What am I doing wrong?
Maybe you just keep a really clean house? ;-) It's so hard to tell without being there to look at it, but if it's sucking water up and it's not dirty at all, either your floors are just really clean or maybe you're sucking it up right away without first allowing the machine to work in the cleaner fluid and loosen the dirt...
It won’t spray but sometimes? What do I need to do to get it to spray?? Thank you 😊
I'm sorry, but I don't know, especially if it works sometimes, but not others. I'd search around on the forums to see if anyone has a suggestion.
سعرها كام وهل لها توكيل في مصر وطريقة شحنها وتوصيلها محتاجة 3 قطع
This is an awesome machine. Thanks
You bet
My Bissell Proheat Essential does not spray, I took the cover off the belt cover, the belt is fine. Then I noticed when I press the spray button there are bubbles in the bladder. What else can I check?
I have a problem with suctioning up dirty water
If the water is very dirty Is it ok to do this more than one time And keep filling it until water is clean ? Or is that too much water on carpet? I use it to clean pet accidents from my dog that's not fully trained yet and unfortunately my carpets are dark maroon so you don't see stains, but you can smell urine
I'm by no means a carpet cleaning expert - just an average user, but as far as I know, you can do more than one time - just make sure you suck all the water out as much as possible. When you feel like it's clean enough, you can go back over just sucking water out (not putting any more in). You want to suck as much water out as you can with the cleaner - then you just have to let it dry which can take longer the more you've put down. Having fans blowing on it can help. Depending on your carpet, it might work better to clean it, let it dry, then do it again (the next day) for a few days straight.
@@hollywoodfrodo thank you for your reply and help
Going out to get it tomarrow thank you
Hope you enjoy it and hope you found the video helpful.
Thanks was looking for a good carpet shampooer
You're welcome - thanks for watching!
We’re is the solution go can’t find it on mine
Are the round orange brushes that stick out partially on the side of the front of the machine supposed to rotate when using machine on carpet?
Francine Rivers Nope.
Do you still have this Bissell carpet cleaner
I do not. We have a smaller Bissell Spot Clean pro now but not this.
Hi Could this be used on a hard floor?? Thanks
I would not recommend this for hard floors - it is especially designed for carpets and might damage hard floors. However because we're the kings of cleaning products, we do have a hard floor cleaner that works great! It's the Hoover FloorMate Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner. You can check it out on Amazon here: goo.gl/3uzW4n I plan on doing a review of it when I get time. We've had it for several months and it works great!
Do the brushes spin around? Because mine doesn't. Also after two large rugs, only a small amount of water is in the compartment--is that normal? Also the carpet seems really wet after 24 hours. Thank you for your kindness...
I'm not a Bissell rep or an expert, just so you know. :-) But the brushed should definitely spin. As for water amount, it's hard to say without seeing, but I mean when you pull the trigger it's consistently putting down water and pulling up water. Even after the initial cleaning you can go back over it (without pulling the trigger for more water) to suck up additional water. If you do that well, it should definitely NOT take 24 hours to dry. It depends on the carpet of course, but our low pile carpet takes about 5-8 hours max (but we do live in a low humidity area - so it will take longer in high humidity). It sounds to me like maybe yours isn't sucking up as much water as it should be. When you're done, your carpet should be moist but not soaking wet... Hope that helps.
Thank you so much for your effort and time. Ok this one is broken because the brushes didn't turn and almost no water was sucked up. But For now the carpet looks clean. I will get it fixed... Thanks again.
Soorya Townley same issues
If it isn't working like it should then take the reservoir out and look at the machine without it it will tell you to get in there for maintenance.
Toasty
I have tried to use mine many times and cannot get it to extract the used water from the carpet.
That's my problem.
Thank you so much, this really helped me;
you're welcome - glad it helped
Thank you
ur welcome
I have one and I like it but can you recommend one even better?
Not first hand, I can't since I haven't personally used a better one. Not so say there isn't a better more expensive one out there - but I haven't used one.

Hello,
The brushes don't spin anymore, but the belts look intact. It was literally only used once:( Could it be the motor? It turns on and is quite loud...just no spin spin:/
It "could" be the motor, but there's no way I could really tell you. I would definitely contact the company if it stopped working and you only used it once! That's not right.
Just in case you aren't aware...the brushes are only supposed to spin when you hit the release and pull the handle down to start carpet cleaning. When you park it with the handle up the brushes stop spinning.
@@davidwalker7732 thank you, David!
having trouble getting flow gauge to go it wont come on until i turn it off
Misty Green I've never had that problem - can you elaborate on what's happening? Maybe someone else (if not me) will have a suggestion.
The brushes on my Bissell do not turn/rotate. Please help.
Francine Rivers You can try this: www.bissell.com/faqdetail.aspx?id=1346 Otherwise, check the other FAQS on Bissell and/or maybe give their customer service a call.
Heard this pro heat isn't any good from a sales man ! I just don't know
Great review! I’m thank you 😊
Thanks!
Had a leak in my air conditioner and it soaked UNDER my carpet. I attempted to pull up the excess dirty water before trying to shampoo. It's an old unit, probably 10 yrs. It wouldn't pull up a drop. Is it only good for sucking up the water it sprays down on the carpet's surface, or is the machine broken?
