Bissell ProHeat models all feature a patented built-in heater that will heat the hot tap water you put in up to 25 degrees hotter to safely optimize cleaning effectiveness. The heater will never allow the temperature to exceed 190 degrees. The Heater switch on the front of the machine controls the heater so you have the option to turn off the heat if you are cleaning delicate wool or Oriental rugs. The two DirtLifter PowerBrush rollers are designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern safely lifts out the deep down dirt while gently grooming carpet fibers. The floating suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights and protects your carpet if you leave the power switch on. Once the product is in the Upright position, the brushes automatically stop spinning. The Detent Pedal will activate the brush when floor cleaning. The Custom Clean feature automatically mixes hot tap water with the Bissell formula. Simply choose one of the four settings (Heavy Traffic, Normal Clean, Light Clean, or Rinse) and the ProHeat 2X will adjust the right amount of cleaning solution to mix with the heated water to fit your cleaning need. FAQ What is deep cleaning and why is it worthwhile? Deep cleaning is a carpet-cleaning process that loosens and removes most harmful dirt and ground-in grit, which may be deep down in your rugs and carpets. Not only does it protect the investment you have in your home, but parents of young children, pet owners, and allergy sufferers may find deep cleaning especially beneficial. What features should I consider when I purchase a deep cleaner? It is important to choose a machine that is easy to use and fits your needs. Specific features to consider are heater, brushes, design, power rating, number of cleaning attachments, styling, weight, and warranty. Why do I need a built-in heater on my deep cleaner? The Bissell ProHeat2X with a patented built-in heater heats the water and solution--just like the pros. The water and solution travel through the heater before being sprayed onto your carpet. Bissell provides continuous heated cleaning by raising the temperature of your hot tap water by up to 25 degrees. Other systems use exhaust air from the motor to achieve "heated cleaning." Are the Bissell DirtLifter PowerBrushes safe for my carpeting? The Bissell Research and Development department tests products on a wide variety of the most common types of carpeting for durability and wear. All of our cleaning products are proven safe, gentle, and effective on cleaning carpets. Cleaning effectiveness is dependent upon multiple factors, including brush engagement. The DirtLifter PowerBrush system is a crucial element in our cleaning process and a key factor behind our statement of unbeatable cleaning. Bissell brushes rotate like those on your everyday vacuum cleaner. They are powerful enough to get the deep down dirt, yet gentle enough to use daily. How is my carpet warranty affected? Until now, to maintain your Scotchgard protector 5-year limited stain warranty you were required to hire a professional cleaner. By using your Bissell ProHeat with Bissell formulas containing Scotchgard protector every 12 months, your carpet's warranty from 3M remains in effect. No other deep-cleaning system can do this for you. Refer to the Scotchgard protector warranty for details.

Gatzke This is the first machine I have owned; however, it is among many I have borrowed over many years.Assembling and acquainting myself with it took only 10 minutes.I was very happy to buy this unit as the cleaning solution and water vessels are separate. So, I can rinse my carpets after cleaning them.The heating unit works in just one minute after filling the water bladder and placing it back on the deep cleaner. Then...you are off and cleaning your carpets.Using it on a 12' x 12' bedroom and a 14' x 25' great room was pretty easy and pleasureable. The result was perfection in a spotless carpet! Most importantly, a spotless carpet with little shampooing residue left behind compared to other cleaners.Why not 5 stars as a rating from me?...Well, the following are the issues I have but am willing to deal with:*** They say you can leave the cleaning solution in the tank until the next time you clean, which could be many months from now. I do not recommend this as the unit seemed to leak while the cleaning solution was left in the tank and the unit was merely sitting with the cord wrapped up. Simply dump the cleaning solution back into the bottle and rinse out the vessel.*** Carpet fibers seem to adhere to the bottom of the unit behind the brushes. To avoid dislodging these fibers onto the carpet during cleaning, the bottom of the unit should be wiped down frequently.*** To keep the unit in tip top shape, the rollers, sucking unit, water bladder, and cleaning solution vessel should be removed, rinsed, and allowed to dry thoroughly. Direction are given in the manual to remove all of these items properly; however, it requires 15 minutes of dismantling...then overnight to dry...then another 15 minutes to reassemble. Unscrewing screws is involved 4 screws...this was to access the front sucking nozzle and two rollers. To remove the water bladder and replace it seems to put a bit of wear on the bladder and I anticipate having to buy a replacement for this in the years to come. BUT...each piece that is rinsed off cleans up VERY easily and dries well.*** The design of the water bladder-dirty water vessel is a bit odd. You fill a bladder (plastic) with hot tap water. The bladder is seated in a rigid plastic containment unit. It turns out this rigin plastic containment unit is the dirty water vessel. The water from the carpet is sucked in and resides on the outside of the clean water bladder. Clever design, but somewhat of a pain as the vacuum/ no vacuum trigger can be easily tripped if the unit bumps into furniture or you move it left or right to quickly. The reason seems to be the water sloshing around outside the bladder and inside the bladder flow and trigger the valve to prematurely open and stop the sucking. Not a huge issue, just an annoyance b/c you have to turn off the vacuum and jostle the unit a bit to get the valve to close again.*** The placement of the accessory hose is awkward especially if you are a left-handed vacuumer. My leg would bump into the hose and the latch they have designed to secure it is not very good at keeping it secure. I had to reseat the hose 5 times during the cleaning of my two rooms... Again, an annoyance.*** The wheels on the unit are large in diameter, which makes the unit very easy to maneuver even though it is heavy (I agree with a prior reviewer that heavy is good in a carpet cleaner). However, I question how well they are assembled to the machine as there seems to be some give left-to-right as you turn the unit...we'll see about this in the long run.All in all, I am still quite satisfied with the unit as it does all that I wanted it to do. I am not sure that you would not have other annoyances with other brands as well...in other words, I do not think there is a perfect carpet cleaner as I have been researching them for weeks now...all of them seem to have issues in some way or

I think my Bissel might have been a lemon, but I was unhappy ehough with it that I changed brands. I really like my new Royal. Very smooth, gets the carpet dryer than the Bissell did. I like the options for turning the soap and/or brushes off. My Royal's first job was a soapless clean to remove the chemical dumped in my living room by my Bissell. Talked to a vacuum sales rep after I bought it, he also says this is a fabulous machine, low failure rate. Fairly easy to clean- I do wish it had a place to keep the caps so I can let the tanks dry in the closet. I liked all the extra hand tools (one a rotating brush) on the Bissell, but overall this is a far better machine. 35 of 36 people found the following review helpful. Great carpet cleaner! By Steve First, order a bottle of Royal carpet shampoo. The shampooer, (extractor), doesn't come with shampoo and the warranty voids any repairs/problems if you use a different manufacturer's shampoo. It has something to do with the amount of suds running through the unit. Apparently other shampoos can cause clogging. Anyway... I recently bought a small motel and used the Royal Carpet Extractor with just hot water while I was waiting for the shampoo to arrive. Wow, glad I did. It was amazing how much dirt I got out with the water alone ,but again, these are motel carpets walked over by lots of fishermen and not your average home carpet. When the shampoo arrived I was able to get out the remaining stains and what a difference. Now I go over the carpet first with hot water and follow with shampoo. It saves a lot of shampoo. Another thing I like is the automatic shampoo feeder. Just pour the shampoo into the reservoir, no measuring, add hot water in the tank and it's ready. Much better and easier to use than my Bissell. 30 of 31 people found the following review helpful. Royal Carpet Extractor By K. Blake I also got this Royal to replace my Bissel Pro Heat 2X. The Bissel died after only 8 uses. The Royal was able to pull out all the shampoo and dirt left by the Bissel in the first run. There was so much left in my carpet including all the soap the Bissel didn't pick back up that it was almost mud. I am so much happier with the Royal, especially the 3 year warranty!! The only down side I have found so far it is seems to be heavy and harder to push. However, I would gladly push a little harder to have the great clean carpets!! See all 12 customer reviews...

Works well By Robin McLeod I don't know what the other person is talking about but the brushes do move and this product does a great job of cleaning for a great price. Maybe they got a defective product. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Did the job By Randolph Palmer My wife bought this machine for my daughter's apartment except I'm the one that got to use it (lol). I've been using a Bissell Green Machine canister for eons and it cleaned ok. This new machine was an eye opener. It is not nearly as loud as the Green Machine and I really like the beater bar brushes. I just cleaned my daughter's carpet last month with the Green Machine but cleaned again yesterday because her elderly cat has been getting sick on the carpet. I just could not believe how dirty the water was that I was sending down the toilet. This new Bissell was working great. It only has a 1/2 gallon tank so I wouldn't recommend it for large jobs but an apartment is where it belongs. I am very satisfied with it and it's not even mine! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great Little Cleaner for the price By Sam Gatlin I was amazed at how well this machine cleaned heavily soiled carpet in a high traffic area. You wouldn't want to try and clean a whole house with it but that's not what it's designed for anyway. By the way, the brushes on the one I bought do rotate. See all 6 customer reviews...

Amazon.com Review Using hot tap water and cleaning solution, the 12-amp Hoover SteamVac V2 deep cleans carpet fibers, tough stains, and upholstery. It is also suitable for tile, ceramic, marble, and linoleum floors (though not appropriate for hardwoods). Named for its dual-nozzle construction, the cleaner provides efficient water removal and thorough edge-to-edge cleaning. The nozzle design forces hot air into the cleaning path and automatically rinses carpet clean on the backward pull. The SpinScrub brushes agitate ground-in dirt and can be turned off with a simple switch. Using a two-tank design that holds up to a gallon of water at a time, the cleaner automatically blends the cleaning solution, so you do not have to monitor it. Both tanks feature an enclosed design and convenient handles, making them easy to remove and transport. The recovery tank automatically shuts off suction when full and comes with a built-in lint screen. A removable view window on the nozzle lets you see dirty water returning to the machine. For above-floor tasks, the cleaner comes with an 8-foot hose, a stair/upholstery tool, and a SpinScrub hand tool with rotating brushes. Conversion to tool cleaning is manual but quick, and you can remove the hose and tool caddy altogether for more streamlined use. The cleaner comes with a carrying handle, a 27-foot cord, quick-release cord hooks, and a foot pedal to release the handle. Fingertip switches and a trigger control the rinsing, washing, and Clean Surge functions. The removable brushes and a beltless design simplify maintenance. Hoover includes two 16-ounce bottles of detergent, one for carpet and one for bare floors, and backs up the machine with a full one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

So close & yet so far away By Arthem Having been so frustrated with my Bissell steam vac that I turned into very small pieces, it was clearly time for a new unit. With a labrador retriever in the house, and a dachshund that my wife refuses to house-train, we are in constant need of a steamvac. I consulted a friend, who suggested the Hoover V2.I brought it home yesterday and assembled it. Assembly was easy, although I did note that the attachment tools carriage was incredibly flimsy, and did a very poor job of actually holding the tools. The only use I can see for this piece of CPS is if you're storing your steamvac in the garage for a few months. You can't really use the steamvac with the hose wrapped in place, as it doesn't stay in place for very long and quickly gets in the way.The tanks lift in and out quite easily, and the solution/water tank is far superior to the old Hoover mixing tank. However, it is very "tall", and thus I was unable to fill it from our upstairs bathroom sinks. This was not the case with the previous Hoover and Bissell models that I've owned.I had it up and running pretty quickly, and was impressed right away. The unit did a great job compared with its unfortunate predecessor. On the first empty of the recovery tank, I did notice that there is no convenient spout, so you have to be careful when pouring out the recovered fluid. I also noticed when I first removed the recovery tank that fluid spilled out as the unit rotated. This was irritating (see the aforementioned dachshund comment).Overall, yesterday I was quite pleased with the performance, despite the minor inconveniences.Today, however, I tried to complete the upstairs & stair cleaning with the steamvac, and my opinion of the device and Hoover has reached a low point. As of this morning, the unit was very leaky. Water from the clean tank pours out & down the back of the unit at a ferocious rate. During use, the water spits out behind the unit. It appears that the clean water and the solution are mixed in a piece of foam that sits beneath the solution & water tanks. this foam is retained by a piece of thin (plastic?), which on my steamvac is angled toward the back, exposing the foam at the rear. As this is where the water spits out, I assume that either the foam is oversaturated, or Hoover has just managed to ignore the fact that a leaking steamvac is not an attractive option to the customer.Being in a fairly bad mood, I proceeded to the Hoover website, to look at the troubleshooting section. No surprise - the troubleshooting part of the website is limited to a collection of trite FAQ's regarding the steamvac, clearly written by someone in marketing from the point of view of "what kind of things might we put on our website to make it look like some customer concerns were being addressed, while really just providing some clever reassurances for people considering purchase."Now in the mood to unleash some choice pejoratives to the good folks at Hoover, I looked about their website for an email address. I did find a section where I could register the steamvac, and provide not only my email address, but all salient facts about my life. However, despite Hoover's apparent interest in contacting me, they did not provide a means to contact them. This implies to me that: a) they're sick of the volume of email complaining about their shoddy product, b) they just don't care, c) their webmaster is as incompetent as their engineers.In any case, had I written this review yesterday, I would have rated the SteamVac V2 as a four or five star. Today, however, it gets a 1, and without some fast talking by the repairman, this particular SteamVac will be heading back to the manufacturer. 105 of 109 people found the following review helpful. easy breezy By A Customer I live in a 1000sqft apt with my esposa & 2 pugsIf you don't know, pugs shed every day of their lives!I've had one for

Great for thorough cleaning of any textured tile floor By island gardener I waited impatiently for this product's release and was not disappointed in it! Due to a knee problem I have difficulty in getting my kitchen floor absolutely clean using the typical spray-and-wipe tools such as the Chlorox Ready-Mop (which I had been using). Those work fine on a smooth surface but can't really get into any lower spots (like grout lines or lower areas in a textured-surface tile) very well. I'd often wished for something like the Black & Decker ScumBuster tool but with a long handle so that it could be used standing up. Well, this new product is exactly that, with the bonus of the onboard liquid dispenser and "mop-up" cloth right there as well. The bottle dispenser attaches instantly with a push-and-click, which is far easier than the setup on the Chlorox ReadyMop. The ability to use any cleanser (or even just hot water if that's your preference) and any mopping pad is yet another plus. My only question is why it took so long for any manufacturer to come up with a cleaning tool like this?! 42 of 45 people found the following review helpful. Don't waste your money! By Pastry chef in training & avid reader I bought this mop when it first came out a few months ago. In retrospect I should have waited and read the reviews first. At first it worked fine but after only a few uses the spray bottle stopped spraying. I called Black and Decker customer service, but they were no help at all. They told me that there were problems with the mop and that I should take it to a local shop to have it fixed. Well, I don't have a lot of spare time, so I thought that I'd just use it without the attached sprayer. I used my own spray bottle. However, just after using the mop a few more times the whole thing completely broke apart. The brush broke off and the mop wouldn't fold back into it's normal position. At that point I was so fed up with the mop and Black and Decker customer service that I just tossed it in the trash. The company itself has acknowledged that there are problems with this mop. It's a shoddy piece of junk and should be taken off the market. 14 of 16 people found the following review helpful. B&D Power Mop By T. Reedy I thought this mop was not too bad to put together. I think that it is easy to use, with the exception that the sprayer is not powered. This is the BEST cleaning mop I have used though. Not sure what they have going on with those pads, but it cleans ten times better than Swiffer and even a regular mop head. My floor hasnt come this clean since I laid it down. The problem is finding replacement pads. NO stores carry them. I called B&D and they advised that they have been on back order from their overseas vendor and that I would need to order on-line or through my local B&D service center. I did place an order for 5 boxes ($[...] per box of 10) and will hopefully get it within a weeks time. They say to take Swiffer pads and wrap them around the mop.....oiy! Who wants to fight with that. I will just wait for my pads, using my Swiffer mop in the mean time. See all 33 customer reviews...

Most helpful customer reviews 41 of 41 people found the following review helpful. I like it! By J. Holmansky I read a lot of mixed reviews on these before I went out and bought one. While it doesn't clean as well as it does on the commercials (not that I expected it to) it does a pretty good job. For me, I will sacrifice a bit of cleanliness for convenience, and it is SO much more convenient to use this than it is to lug out a mop! Some people complained about washing the pads. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I do laundry almost every day here, so I throw it in a garment bag and wash it with the rest of the laundry. It works a lot better than the Swiffer Wet Jet I was previously using, and doesn't leave a residue behind as the Wet Jet did. I found that with repeated cleanings, my floors are showing a real difference compared to the Wet Jet. I think the Wet Jet left behind a lot of dirt and grime, so the shark needed to wash the floor a few times before it was all up. Now my floors look as clean as they did when they were first installed. The only complaint I have is the size of the water tank. Others have complained about this as well. To wash the downstairs bathroom, hallway, and kitchen (all tile) I have to fill it up 2-3 times. While it's not the end of the world, it is a little inconvenient. I bought the Shark at Sam's Club, and it came with a hand-held steamer bottle. I didn't think I would use that at all, but it has been an unexpected bonus! I have soap-scum in one of my showers that I had given up on. I tried every cleaning product. I've scrubbed it. Nothing worked. I tried the steam bottle yesterday, and most of it came off with the steam and some scrubbing. I'll probably need to go over it a couple of times before it's 100% clean, but it did a much better job than anything else I've used. It also works great for cleaning my brushed-nickel faucets. Everything else I used left streaks, and the steamer leaves them streak-free and shiny. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Poor substitute for a mop By Rachel Simon I was very optomistic before purchasing this product. I did not expect miracles but was disappointed in the performance of the product. The steam mop created a great deal of steam but cleaned my floor poorly. The water container had to be refilled four times to do my kitchen floor. The pads need to be changed often and are an annoyance to wash. The instructions say that the pads should be washed in cold water only with liquid detergent and should air dry. This makes it impractical to use without the purchase of additional pads. After cleaning the mop left my tile floor dull.The product may be better suited for use on a laminate wood floor. I ended up returning this item and getting a refund. Not worth the money I spent on it. I am disappointed as I was hoping that it would be the answer to cleaning our tile floors. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Shark portable By Eliana Ruth This is a nice steam mop for the money. It works on my kitchen floors just fine.It doesn't get right into cornors but neither did my mop so you'll still have to wipe in hard to reach placesbut overall I am happy with this mop. It does get hot and steams well. I have no doubt any bad stuff on the floor is killed and sanitized.If I could change one thing it would be to have a little bigger of a water tank. I usually have to refill it one time do do my whole kitchen but that isn't a big deal.I would recommend it and am happy with mine. See all 3 customer reviews...
