Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The 12-amp ProHeat upright carpet cleaner from Bissell operates on the premise that hotter water cleans better. So, in addition to the usual water and shampoo combination, the ProHeat includes a built-in heater to heat water an additional 25 degrees F for extra cleaning power. Choose between floor cleaning functionality or pretreat/tool cleaning for lighter jobs. A separate shampoo tank controls the soapiness of the solution, with different ratios for high traffic and normal conditions, as well as a water-only option. Bissell's DirtLifter Powerbrush features five separate brushes to agitate deep-down dirt and gently groom carpet. Though a bit bulky, the cleaner is maneuverable, with an efficiently sized footprint and a 12-inch cleaning path. Its clear nozzle construction lets you monitor results and brush operation. Nice features include the tool caddy, heater indicator light, ergonomic handle grip, spray trigger, quick-release cord wrap, stain brush, and foot-controlled handle release. Bissell gets you started with 16 ounces each of Fiber Cleansing solution, Floor Cleansing formula, and Tough Stain Precleaner. --Emily Bedard

My husband and I recently bought a house with carpet that looked like it had never been cleaned. We didn't have the money to replace the carpet, so we decided to buy a cleaner and do it ourselves. After careful consideration, we decided to purchase this Bissell Proheat. What a fantastic machine. The carpet almost looks new and the house smells great. It is very easy to use and you can even clean your couch or chair with the tools. I would recommend this machine to anyone who is not happy with the cleanliness or appearance of their carpets.

Let me say for many years I have used my trusty Hoover SteamVac and have had to return once because the water was not squirting out properly and now the brushes are not turning. After doing a little research and shopping I decided on this model Bissell Proheat 1699. I used the cleaner today and I love it! It does not require hook up to any sink. It's easy to put together and it's easy to use. Since my Hoover had been on the blink for a while my carpets were definitely ready to be cleaned. My carpets look great and not only are they clean and spot free but my carpet looks fluffier. I would recommend this cleaner and am very pleased with the results.

I used the Bissell on my 10 year old couch and loveseat. Although they had barely been used they still had collected 10 years worth of dirt and dust. The Bissell 1699 worked great they came out looking brand new. I can't wait to try it on my carpet. I checked around at the different product's on the market, before I decided on this model. It is made of plastic so of course you have to be careful but, then all of them on the market are. It was very easy to use. The bag in the tank keeps the clean water separated from the dirty water, and the cleanup is a snap. I've already ordered more tools to use with it, which is priced very reasonable from the Bissell website.
