Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Using the power of heat, brushes, and cleaning formula, this upright home-cleaning system removes deep-down dirt for a maximum clean. The machine comes equipped with a rotating six-row DirtLifter PowerBrush that safely lifts out dirt while gently grooming carpet fibers, floating suspension that self-adjusts to all carpet heights, and a two-in-one 1-gallon water tank that keeps clean and dirty water separate. Furthermore, the cleaner features a built-in heater, which heats hot tap water up to 25 degrees hotter for maximum results--or can be turned off for a no-heat option when cleaning delicate wool or oriental rugs. Choose between floor cleaning or above-floor cleaning with a simple turn of the knob. On-board tools include a 3-inch tough-stain tool and a spraying crevice tool made from 100-percent post-consumer recycled materials. Other details include an ergonomic handle, Edge Sweep brushes, a ready-to-use hose (no hook up required), a 25-foot power cord, quick-release cord wrap, and smooth-rolling wheels. A 16-ounce bottle of Fiber Cleansing Formula and a 16-ounce bottle of Tough Stain Cleaner come included. Great for carpet, upholstery, stairs, and vehicle interiors, the 12 amp deep cleaner measures 19 by 11-1/5 by 45 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Works phenomenally well, but needs constant cleaning of filters and traps,
By
This review is from: Bissell ProHeat Upright Deep Cleaner, 25A3 (Kitchen)
I upgraded from an older Bissell Little Green Machine to this unit based primarily on my experience with Bissell products. The PROheat has a number of nice features that ultimately sold me on it and after using it for a few months now I'm fairly pleased with it. I particularly like that you can choose to either have the heat on or off. I've heard some people say that using the heat can break down your carpets more quickly and cause the stain to get worse as it picks up new dirt that is tracked in. I don't know if that's not the case, but since my old Bissell unit lacked heat but did a fine job, I pretty much use this minus the heat. Even with the heat off I'm stunned at how good a job this unit does. It's even cleaned stains that I gave up as a lost cause. Most astonishingly, I usually vacuum first before using the steamer and then vacuum again once it's dry. I've discovered I actually vacuum up MORE dirt after steam cleaning than I did before. Clearly this machine is knocking loose built up dirt which means cleaner and nicer appearing carpets than ever before. I also liked the wand attachment from my old Little Green machine, especially for upholstered pieces and hard to reach spots and this thankfully has that.
But there are some drawbacks and limitations. At least initially you will pick up a LOT of carpet fibers when you use the machine, which means FREQUENT cleaning of the rotating brushes and especially the multiple filters on the unit. In some instances I wound up using tweezers to get out fibers from the particularly small filter on the underside of the water tank. The one on top is easier to clean out, but particles trap almost everywhere on this machine. The water tank holds a pitifully small amount of water and/or cleaning solution which means frequent refills, and it slows down the whole cleaning process. The self contained tank is easy to empty, but if you think that will eliminate odors from dirty water guess again, it doesn't. The tank does seem to leak or the seals don't hold tight and so dirty water does collect in the well that the tank sits in, which ads to the nasty smells as well as adding yet another think you have to clean up. Another particularly annoying habit is the dirty water seeping out the front of the machine by the cleaning rollers when you turn off and store the machine. This is really disgusting and trust me, don't store it on carpet or even leave it sitting there for very long as it WILL leak! When in use loose fibers tend to gather on the underside of the machine around the brush rollers so you manually have to gather it up by hand, which slows down the cleaning process. Once you've cleaned your carpet a few times that problem (hopefully) should minimize, although it has yet to happen for me. As a result there's a considerable amount of maintenance you have to do to ensure your machine is operating under optimum conditions. Even so, it's hard to argue with the results. I would probably buy this same unit again, but would also read up on other models just in case they operate more easily. Perhaps I was used to the utter simplicity of the Little Green Machine and sometimes I wish I was still using it, sad to say.

Very Good for the Price,

This review is from: Bissell ProHeat Upright Deep Cleaner, 25A3 (Kitchen)
I just purchased a Bissell ProHeat today and am definitly pleased with my purchase. The carpet which was in rather poor shape has seen a clear improvement and IMHO a professional couldn't have done a better job. The cleaner itself was simple to assemble, straight-forward to load with cleaning solution (I like the combo-tank idea!), and very easy to use.
One drawback was the limited size of the tank for holding cleaning solution, I found myself refilling it 4 times to do 3 rooms and a lazy-boy chair. Of course re-filling was at least easy to do and to be expected when buying the low-end model. Further, as with it seems all of these contraptions, the hand-held attachment would spray at far to wide an angle but thats not a unique problem to this one cleaner. Overall, for the price, if you have a small house or apartment and are on a limited budget or just like to pinch a penny or two, I would surely recommend this Bissell.

Pleasantly surprised,
By Blackstone (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bissell ProHeat Upright Deep Cleaner, 25A3 (Kitchen)
I have been looking at carpet cleaners for a few months. Based on reviews, I wasn't too sure I could find a good product at a decent price, since I didn't want to break the bank. I found this item at Target, and based on my experience with Bissell vacuums, decided to give it a chance. It assembled pretty easily, and seems pretty solid. It did a very nice job on lifting dirt from an alabaster carpet and darker entry carpet, neither of which had been cleaned in nearly two years. I found the upholstery tool to work very well on higher traffic areas that didn't respond well to the pushing the machine over it. Overall, I am quite happy with this item.
