Product Description

Amazon.com Review

In a house with plenty of light-colored carpet, pets, or a combination of the two, there are enough messes where it pays to own your own steamcleaner. Deep cleaning is meant as an additional step to vacuuming as it shoots warm water deep into carpet fibers to loosen and remove dirt and grit that even daily vacuuming can’t reach.

Bissell’s ProHeat cleaner has a DirtLifter Powerbrush with six rows of brushes for lifting out embedded dirt particles and utilizes its 12 amps of strong suction to pull them in. The built-in heater keeps tap water 25 percent hotter than most steam cleaners do and distributes a mixture of warm water and cleaning solution into carpets to provide the most effective cleaning. Completely safe on stain-resistant carpets, the ProHeat can apply a Scotchgard protector formula during cleaning to reduce the amount of wear on the stain-resistant coating.

Besides carpeting, this cleaner can be used on home and automobile upholstery and has a 9-foot hose to reach into tight spaces. The ProHeat has a wide, 12-inch path and its onboard accessories include a spraying crevice tool, a tough stain tool, a Scotchgard applicator, and a cartridge. Bissell covers this deep cleaner under a full one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars for this Cleaner from Bissell, April 3, 2003

This review is from: Bissell 79011 Proheat Upright Deep Cleaner (Kitchen)

I recently bought a Proheat machine to clean my (I'm ashamed to say)filthy carpets. I liked the fact that it heats the water, has a powerful brush, and can apply Scotchagrd. When it arrived at my door I couldn't wait to get it out of the box and give it a try. I did take the time to read the manual based on advice from some other reviewers, but I was busy cleaning my carpet in no time. The water was so dirty- I had to save it to show my husband. Neither of us could believe how clean our carpets looked, almost brand new. I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but this cleaner is so amazing that I wanted to share my experience with everyone. Anyone with carpet in their home needs one of these. It's worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressed, August 1, 2005

This review is from: Bissell 79011 Proheat Upright Deep Cleaner (Kitchen)

I bought this machine without doing any prior research in order to emergency clean some funky, filthy, cat-stained carpet at a relative's house. I own the smaller Bissell 2070 and am very happy with it but thought that a larger, more powerful model would be better for this job.

The Bissell 79011 did a fantastic job and got rid of 98% of the stains. I did have to go over some sections and stains several times, but I don't think this is unusual since the stains had been there for God knows how long. The pre-treatment solution that's provided removed all but the toughest stain (too bad the bottle wasn't bigger). It's got powerful suction so (1) it sucked up disgustingly dirty water (2) the carpet's pile stood up practically like new and (3) it dried overnight. I didn't use the attachment so I can't comment on its performance.

The machine is simple to assemble, it's easy to remove/fill/replace the water tank and solution tank, and though it's a heavy machine I didn't find it difficult to push it around the carpet. As another reviewer mentioned, it does leave a lot of carpet fuzz balls. I took this as a sign that the brushes were doing a really good job.

If my current carpet cleaner was older, I would probably replace it with this model because the 79011 was very impressive.

2.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy!, March 22, 2004

This review is from: Bissell 79011 Proheat Upright Deep Cleaner (Kitchen)

I hate this machine. The small tank that holds the cleaning solution will hardly ever work properly. Most of the time your solution will end up in a one spot since the tank leaks. Recently had the problem of water dispensing. Wish I had researched more before buying. Buy a different product.
