Brings tears to my eyes I was taken to the cleaners by Bissell. The Bissell 1699-P is a fru ...

Save yourself aggravation...endless aggravation. Avoid purchasing this unit at all costs. In Nov ...

Pros: The Pro-Heat is a must-have if you have children or pets.
Cons: It takes a little longer than I would like

I love my Bissell ProHeat ClearViewSteam Cleaner (1699)! I bought a house with almost- white carpet. I also have 2 children and 2 dogs. A carpet steamer was the first item on our list of things for the new house.

WHY I CHOSE IT
I...

Pros: Easy to use. Really did a great job, and one I didn't mind doing.
Cons: Would like to have more attachments. Expensive to operate. Time consuming.

My wife and I went to the local Wal-mart last night to purchase this deep cleaner. I did quite a bit of research on all the available products and settled on Bissell for two reasons. The heated tank for one, and my mother has the top-of-the-line...

Pros: Affordable, great cleaning power, light and as easy to use as a vacuum!
Cons: Uses quite a lot of shampoo product per cleaning

I had been highly impressed by the cleaning power of a carpet shampooer I rented from a supermarket and had my doubts that a consumer shampooer could do a good enough job. I was wrong! I absolutely love my new Bissell Proheat! It is as easy to use as...

Pros: Amazing cleaning power,Pro Heat Function, Quiet, Easy to assemble, Heavy Duty
Cons: None so far

I have been sitting here for 5 minutes trying to come up with a catchy name for this review and the only thing that kept coming to mind was "Amazing".

My carpet had not been cleaned for 4 years and it was horrible looking. The carpet was so...

Pros: Warm clean, accessories, ScotchGuard.
Cons: Weak suction, weak vacuum, accessories tend to spill

I AM IN THE MIDDLE of the cleaning process right now with this vacuum, so my review is entirely fresh. And - let me tell you! It's NOT going to be as exciting as a Manufacturer would like it to be! ;o)

OK, what we have:
- nearly new...

Pros: Deep cleaning is a good idea; this one is just not well made.
Cons: Hose and bottom leak gross "backwash" after use; stinks; heavy, expensive, don't buy it!

This bulky heavy unit is just a stress increasing, gross machine. The last time I used it, here is what happened: Dog has accident on carpet; I get out the cleaner, fill it with clean water, soap, and suck up the mess. While putting it away, I pick it ...

Pros: Easy to assemble, a dream to operate. Amazing seeing my carpet come back to life!
Cons: Hose clipped to the right side sometimes gets knocked loose while cleaning against walls.

I have to rave about the Bissell ProHeat ClearView Plus Deep Cleaner 1699. I have wanted a steam cleaner for years, but I couldn't find one I really liked. Until now!

This machine has everything going for it! Very easy to assemble and use,...

Pros: Easy to set up and use.
Cons: It has a very short life.

I bought the Bissell Proheat 1699 to avoid expensive carpet cleaning bills when I only had one room or area to clean. The salesman at Home Depot told me he had one and it was the greatest investment he had ever made.

I found the unit easy to...

Pros: Easy to operate
Cons: Requires refilling often

I bought the ProHeat to replace my ancient Hoover upright. Boy, what a difference. It moves with ease, cleans the worst crud out of the carpet and leaves my house smelling clean and fresh.

My two ferrets live in a large carpeted enclosure in...

Pros: EXCELLENT at what it does.. it REALLY Does a great job cleaning.
Cons: Non so far!!!

I've been living in my house for 2 years, and have NOT ever had the carpets cleaned. My husband is not the type of person who listens to women... Women... huh, they don't know what they are talking about. After all, he's been a Car detailer, he knows all ...

Pros: Good cleaning job
Cons: Works inconsistently; belt jams and breaks.

Like many of the reviews here, I am generally satisfied with the way this product cleans the carpets. Although it is a time consuming process, I don't expect a home machine to clean as quickly as a more powerful rental machine. I consider the ability to...

Pros: Cleans well!!!
Cons: Burn out gasket if you leave heat on too long

I got mine on Overstock.com after reading tons of reviews. The instructions tell you to turn heater on for five minutes before you use it to heat up the water. I left the heater on for 10 min before I used it and the canister in canister thing started to...

Pros: This product is simple to use and very efficient, and who can beat the price?
Cons: The water reservoir container and membrane can get very dirty and aren't easy to clean.

This product was purchased for me by my husband as a gift at our local Wal-Mart for only $188. That was over a year ago. I was immediately impressed by the life it returned to my worn down carpets! Instead of the normal circular brush heads, this product...
