Bissell ProHeat keeps tripping breaker?

Posted on December 26th, 2010 in Bissell Steam Cleaner | 2 Comments »

I have a Bissell ProHeat 2x that I bought yesterday. I live in a brand new townhome, built in August. The minute I turn the steam cleaner on it trips the breaker for the entire room.There is NOTHING else plugged in, no lights turned on or anything in there. Do I have to return it or is there another way to keep the power from overloading the circuit?
No it’s not in a GFI outlet. I tried every outlet around the room(its the spare bedroom. Theres not even a tv in there) its empty. Every single time i switched the power on the cleaner the entire room loses power.
Thanks guys! I think its the cleaner. I had another Bissell in this house, it just wasn’t what I needed but I never had anything like this happen with that steam cleaner. I tried this new one in every room, all the breakers were tripped. Guess I’ll be going back to where I got it : / I am disappointed though, I’m a clean freak and was VERY excited to clean my carpets haha

Do deep cleaning vacuums pick up dog hair?

Posted on June 17th, 2010 in Bissell Steam Cleaner | 5 Comments »

Hello, I am in the market for a Bissell ProHeat 2X deep cleaning vacuum, but I read somewhere that deep cleaning vacuums only suck up the water/solution and that they do not pick up dog hair. I have a dog and the hair is what really needs to be vacuumed up, but I assumed that a deep cleaning vacuum would pick it up as well as "steam" the carpet. Does anyone know about this?

Carpet cleaners – rent or buy? which is better quality wise?

Posted on June 15th, 2010 in Bissell Steam Cleaner | 5 Comments »

My cat had an allergic reaction to a stain remover I used on my carpet, so the vet recommended that I steam clean the carpet to get rid of the allergen. Debating on whether it would be more beneficial to rent a Rug Doctor or buy a steam cleaner like a Bissell Proheat? In your opinion which works better? I figure I could probably justify buying one if I use it at least 5 times (would equal the cost of rental or thereabouts). Also, how loud is the Rug Doctor vs. one you can buy. I live in an apartment complex, I don’t want to be too noisy!

Thanks

WHICH VACUUM ?? I am in the market to buy a carpet cleaner ~ thanks to a little 5 lb. Chihuahua that has?

Posted on June 6th, 2010 in Bissell Steam Cleaner | 2 Comments »

stolen our hearts but also the cleanliness of our carpeting. Granted a tiny dog, you say, could not possibly make this much damage ~ well, our whole entire carpeting looks like it has the measels !! From various online reviews, I have narrowed down my choices to:

(1) The Hoover Steam Vac Turbo Power Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge feature. Model # F5912900 — PRICE 0

(2) Bissell Proheat 2x Clean Shot Carpet Cleaning System., Model # 9500 ~ PRICE 0

I am confused since each of the two models have about the same number of good and not-so-good reviews.

I LOOK FORWARD to hearing from people who actually own either machine. Any advice, bad or good, is welcome !

Homemade steam cleaner solution?

Posted on May 29th, 2010 in Bissell Steam Cleaner | 6 Comments »

I have a Bissell ProHeat 2X steamcleaner (I own it) and would like to clean my carpets. However, I am out of the Bissell solution that I usually use, and my children are in bed, so I can not leave to go get more. I really would like to get some of my carpets done, as I am going out of town for the day tommorow and want to come home to a fresh, clean house. Are there any homemade solutions that anyone uses? I know I read online that vinegar and water or baking soda and water work well but I don’t have either of those. I just have a ton of cleaning products, laundry detergent, etc. Any ideas?

How long should you let carpet dry after steam cleaning/shampooing?

I need to deep clean my daughter’s closet. The carpet is medium length plush carpet. It’s not flat carpet but it’s not the real high stuff either. I have a Bissell Proheat 2x that I bought back in May. It uses heated water. How long should I wait before putting her toys and stuff back in the closet?

What is the best cleaner to use for our steam cleaner?

Posted on April 2nd, 2010 in Buy Steam Cleaner | 2 Comments »

We borrowed a "steam cleaner" to clean the carpets in our house. The carpet isn’t horrendously dirty, but there are quite a few urine spots from our small dog (she has since become much better at house training, so some of these spots are at least a month old). The cleaner is a Bissell ProHeat Plus. What is the best cleaning solution to use with this cleaner with our carpet?
