BISSELLProHeat 2X Revolution Carpet Cleaner, Carpet Washers Outcleans the Leading Rental with HeatWave Technology, Carpets Dry in 30 Minutes, Rug Cleaner Machine with 3.7L Clean Water Tank, 18583

Sceptical, of course, after trying others and usual claims. However, we have tested this machine on various carpet thicknesses and recommend this but qualify that below.This is hard work on the toughest setting, for us old ones, stupid enough to get another puppy! Tried to dry out patches and use pads but even so the house was turning into a sewage works. Thought long and hard about this investment our much cheaper 'V' machine failing pretty rapidly as it leaked, a very common fault it seems.This Bessill machine fills with hand hot water, ie. not nee boiling but seemed fine with pretty hot water from our combi tap. Just made drying pretty fast. If you use express, it is fine for carpets or rugs not looking soiled but more stale. The strongest setting gets deep down and really does remove a lot of soiling.However, it is all in the technique of using the machine to effect and that took both of us a while to conquer. when to pull the trigger for extra water and how to dry it off as much a possible. We squired going forward and pulled back to dry off. On a hot day in September, the express washed carpet was dry in under half an hour. The soaked and repeatedly gone over highest setting was still slightly damp the next day. The thing is that she stains will not budge and if the machine has not cleaned the rug or carpet, after pre-spraying and using the maximum setting then it will not clean just through repetition.Some rugs that had never been shampooed, like the one passed on to us about 35 years ago by my brother, good quality wool, was a revolution. The colours jumped ut and it was only treated fairly quickly.The pet stained carpets just did not respond but had been dried off a bit and sprayed with Extreme. Somehow, they stubbornly stayed as they were.Note that if a carpet is damp to the feel after repeat passes, it could take over 24 hours to clean if thick and wool. I would never attempt more that an express clean on a day that is average summer or winter.Damp carpet is not a smell to make a home seem welcoming.But, our home is smelling pretty good now. We are sensitive but even the stubbornly stained areas were fresh smelling.It is hard work. No getting away from that. However, this machine did our whole house, most of which was not that bad but definitely had had a puppy attack now and then, and we ended up very pleasantly surprised and happy. The puppy has hardly wet the carpet at all so it seemed to cure that. (Does not bark to go out and just stands by a door then will run away and do a wee of she is desperate.We have antique rugs, modern wood quality wool ones as well as some cheaper ones. All did very well with this machine. It did not use up water and shampoo at a huge rate at all and the brush really did its job with thrash out the dirt. Pre-vacuumed all the areas treated, just before shampooing and yet it was quite surprising how much dirt came up.Cleaning the brushes and sides of the working area first took us a while to work out the techinique but then it was a doddle to scrape the brushes and force the same tool to retrieve wet hair and fluff.All in all, if you despair at first, you will quickly work out the best way to treat each area and I am sure that you will be pleased. The three little bottles of odour removers and pre-treaat were quite good, the main recommend cleaner perfectly adequate and we bought the special pet odour pre treat but have loads left.

It arrived on time carefully packed, it's so easy to put together the instructions are clear and concise giving good advice how to achieve the best resultsI bought this with a certain amount of scepticism as our old one ( a vax) had never done what we call a good job on carpets or upholsteryWe filled the tank as per instructions and started cleaning the lounge carpet and WOW !! from the first sweep of this machine it really lifted the dirt out ( we didn't realise how dirty our carpet was) it took about an hour and three tanks of water and detergent and we were so impressed I did the hall, bedroom and spare room all in about 3 1/2 hours yesterdayToday we put the hose on and did our upholstery with the same amazing results we are extremely impressed with this cleaner it's so much easier to set up and use compared to our vax and the results are so much betterThe cord is long enough for any reasonable side room it feels strongly built and you can actually feel it working to lift the deep ground in dirt from the carpet with it's amazing suction ability, , it's a little noisy but with ordinary ear defenders it's not a problem as you know it doing a great job ( as long as you don't try to rush it ) the fresh smell it leaves behind is great too the carpets we did yesterday felt nice and soft again this morning,One thing to bear in mind it took out carpets about 7 to 8 hours to dryIt's feels strong and durable as you use it , there were no leaks whatsoever so all in all we are extremely impressed with this cleaner and will be recommending this without any hesitation to anyone looking for a good cleanerThank you bissell

I actually bought a pet carpet cleaner a while ago which was another named brand, it was ok but didn't clean that well and struggled on my hallway carpet which had grooves... and eventually blew up.This one cleans everything, I've actually gone mad around the house cleaning the carpets. The warm water aspect and more solution which is added to the water works much better, and dries faster too.The cable could do with being longer and the carrying bracket is a bit awkward when carrying up the stairs, it's lighter than my last one aswell and definitely easier to empty. Little bonus was the 3 mini cleaning solutions.

Got today dome all the room upstairs looking brand new. The stairs and the bit near needed done looks honest great. Reason bought this one as usually go fax I find them easily breakable. This easy all slides in I the fact you a maniviour to get you just slides in easy to use see dirt and it cleans clear when I can see. The suction is great no vax where pull the trigger it full suction all time which perfect.I don't think noisy to prepared to vax. I think it'd okay we bit heavy to manivour on stairs. But I used the tool.The performance is excellent . Very happy with buy.
