BissellProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus, 3588F, Upright Deep Cleaner, 30-minute Dry Time, Dual Dirt Lifter Powerbrush, Hose & Tool Attachment, Pet Upholstery Tool and Tough Stain Tool Included

As a proud (and slightly exhausted) dog mom to two mischievous dachshund puppies, I feel like I’ve tried everything under the sun to deal with their endless “accidents” on my carpet. Let me paint the picture: I brought home my two adorable little troublemakers thinking I was ready for anything. I had the potty pads, the stain sprays, the vinegar and baking soda, the enzymatic cleaners—you name it, I tried it. But somehow, every single time I thought we were making progress, I’d find a fresh puddle of pee soaking into the carpet fibers.I was getting desperate. Not only was the smell lingering (despite all my attempts), but I was also worried about the long-term damage to my carpet and subfloor. That's when I finally bit the bullet and purchased the Bissell ProHeat Pet Carpet Cleaner. And let me tell you—this machine is worth every single penny.Set-Up & First Impressions:Out of the box, the Bissell ProHeat was straightforward to assemble. The instructions were clear, and I had it up and running in no time. It felt solid and well-made, and I could already tell it was designed with pet owners in mind. It comes with a Pet Stain Tool, a tough stain tool, and a trial-size bottle of Bissell’s professional cleaning formula.Performance:The first time I used it, I targeted the worst area—my bedroom, which had essentially become their unofficial bathroom. I followed the instructions, filled the clean water tank, added the cleaning solution, and slowly began cleaning in sections.I was SHOCKED by the amount of dirt and urine this machine pulled out. You think your carpet is clean until you dump the dirty water tank and realize you’ve basically been living on a swamp of pee and regrets. I even got this done in 10 minutes.The ProHeat’s Heatwave Technology keeps the water warm throughout the cleaning process, and the suction is incredibly powerful. After just one pass, the odor in the room was significantly better. I did two full passes over the main areas, and not only did the smell disappear, but the carpet looked newer and fluffier. You could visibly see the difference in texture and color.Stain Removal:As for the older stains I had almost given up on? They’re gone. Completely. No halo effect, no faint yellow ring—just clean, fresh carpet. I also used the handheld tool on a few spots on the stairs and it worked beautifully. It got right into the corners and edges without any trouble.Dry Time:I was impressed with how quickly the carpet dried. I kept the windows open and ran a fan, and the area was fully dry within a few hours. Much faster than I expected, considering how saturated it had been during cleaning.Maintenance:Cleaning the machine afterward is easy. The tanks lift right out, and everything comes apart smoothly for rinsing. The brush roll cover even comes off so you can remove hair and debris (a big plus with shedding pups).Verdict:If you’re a pet owner—especially of stubborn puppies who think the world is their toilet—do yourself a favor and invest in the Bissell ProHeat Pet Carpet Cleaner. I honestly wish I had bought it sooner. It has saved my carpets, my sanity, and possibly even my relationship with my dogs.This isn’t just a spot cleaner—it’s a deep-cleaning powerhouse. It’s the kind of tool you don’t realize you need until you finally use it and wonder how you ever lived without it. Now, anytime there’s an accident, I know it’s no big deal—I can just pull out the Bissell and tackle it right away.

Impressive! I used this on 20 year old carpeting that hadn't been cleaned in more years than I cared to mention. Cream colored carpet. Pet stains, wear and tear, etc. It worked beautifully! I was so impressed with how my carpet looked when finished. It was fluffy, clean, stain-free, and smelled wonderful. On the flip side, this is a heavy machine and moving it back and forth countless time was physically taxing. After going over the carpet with the shampoo, you have to go back over and over it with clear water to rinse all the shampoo out and extract as much water as possible. That took a while. Hard work. But the results were worth it. Highly recommend this machine.

The MAIN reason I purchased this was the double rollers and the $200 credit with a new PRIME card. I had an older 12 amp black Bissell Pro Heat that was heavier/hard to control and had only ONE scrubbing brush roller. I WILL say, having a heavier machine, I think, removes more surface water. The pluses of THIS Pet Pro +++: removal of lid to clean out hairs from rollers, the clip on top to keep cord from getting in the way, the 2 rows of visible rollers(having a CLEAR lid), the handy flat tool to remove hairs embedded in lid and the ease of removing liquid containers. Even after vacuuming with my Shark, there were GOBS of hairs I kept picking up !!! I did notice that if I pressed on front end of machine, it removed MORE dirty water..so I'll take a while for carpets/rugs to dry. Be aware: LOTS of trips emptying dirty tank; doesn't hold much!!! Overall: VERY EASY TO MANEUVER and STORE...A KEEPER !!!

I had quite the job for it right out of the box. My (now adult) daughter turned her bedroom into a "girls cave" throughout her teen years. Consequently, the carpet was filthy with not just dirt, but spilled makeup, spray residue of various sorts, and other substances I'm sure fathers generally don't want to hear about. The carpet was matted in places - all ground in. We just got this vac in today (quick shipping BTW). And we immediately set about assembly and use. Assembly went pretty quick, although the carry handle is all plastic, and took a bit more force than I wanted to install. And who makes a carry handle out of such flimsy plastic anyway? The force it took to snap it into place is BECAUSE it is so flimsy, and so easily bends out of shape during installation. It may be sturdy once installed, but it sure looked and felt awfully flimsy before installation. Installation took more force than its flimsy nature should reasonably receive. But once it snaps into place and the screw (the only screw the entire assembly requires), it seems sturdy enough.Using a combination of hair shampoo (no conditioner) and liquid laundry detergent in warm water, this vac attacked that greasy, oily, dirty mess very aggressively. The results so far is quite impressive. Now that my daughter and I figured out how to use it and clean it - it's up to her to keep using it until that carpet is clean. I figure it will take a dozen passes at least. Which is why I bought this shampooer instead of renting one. I'm sure she will be sick of using it before she's done. BUT, best recommendation is to use a liquid soap that does not cause suds. Any wet/dry vac, including shampooers, will have trouble sucking up suds. I used shampoo specifically to cut the makeup grease - which seems about as heavy as axle grease. But once the grease is out of the carpet, we will switch to pure laundry detergent, or a combination laundry and liquid dishwasher detergent.After this vac seemed to have picked up all the liquid it will pick up, I noticed that I can tip it forward a bit and it will suck up a bunch more (SEE OBSERVATION #7 BELOW) - and wow is that stuff dirty. So once it looks like you're done, you can go over the carpet by tilting it forward a bit, then pushing it forward an inch, then tipping it forward again. Repeat until you've covered the whole wet area. You will probably get a lot more out of the carpet that way. And I think what comes up when you do that will be a good indicator of how clean your carpet is. You may wish to go over it all again once you see what comes up. Which brings me to another point - you can stop when the carpet surface looks clean, or keep working it till the carpet IS clean. Honestly, I don't see much use for three different cleaning settings. The maximum setting uses the most liquid, but that's how you get the best results unless you're cleaning something with zero depth. Which gives me an idea to see how well it works on a heavy traffic area of a linoleum floor. It's a lot of work repeatedly rinsing pine-sol off the floor with a mop and bucket. This machine might rinse it off a lot easier. We shall see.Also, even when you think you're done, it's probably a good idea (though you might hate the extra work) to go over the carpet once again using purely clean water - no soap at all. Possibly with a bit of febreeze or liquid fabric softener, or some mild aromatic you like. The idea is to get as much of the soap out of the carpet as you can - like a rinse cycle. Adding a nice scent is just an opportune bonus. Just don't overdo it. It would be so easy to overdo a scent.Cleanup is pretty simple, but not altogether easy. All parts are too big for the bathroom sink. And unless you have a fine strainer, I would not clean it in a sink. We dumped the dirty water down the toilet, then used the bathtub to clean the vac and it left a huge mess in the tub. Suffice it to say, cleanup from now on will be outside with a garden hose. Then bring it inside to detail it. A nice detail is the flat plastic thing-a-ma-bob that comes with the vac. It's to hook and pull clumps out of an otherwise impossible to clean part of the roller cover (hood). It's a nice touch, but probably should have some way to store it attached to the vac itself - as you will likely need to use it every time you clean the vac. It's also supposed to get the hair out of the rollers. It's totally useless for that. I had to use a sharp paring knife to cut the hair away from the rollers. Just like any other vac.Which brings me to the only problem I found with this vac. It's all plastic. While nothing you're doing should require much force, this might not take much force for something to break. The handle especially should be made of aluminum or better, as it is the thing that flexes the most, and should not flex at all, as I use it. This makes the handle the second most anticipated failure point. The most anticipated failure point? The hose and attachments all "click" into place using two pressure locks. They should all be made of stainless steel instead of plastic. Plastic pressure locks always break.Edit: after some hours of use, I noticed a few things that I should mention.1. as per another reviewer's concern, when the handle is locked in the upright position, it also lifts the rollers by about a half an inch or so. So unless you have shag carpet, it's not likely to harm your carpet to remain running in one position for a great length of time.2. to use this vac right (most such shampooers actually) you have to go intolerably slow. I mean mind bogglingly, soul crushingly, inhumanly slow. I found that any faster than about 3 inches per minute will leave a lot behind. And that brings me to the fact that you probably should go over everything at least twice. At least once with shampoo, and once more with clean, possibly fragranced water - or perhaps some baking soda to soak up any lingering odors.3. No matter how thorough you are, there's going to be some dirt left behind. Others have confirmed this - you might never get everything out of your carpet. You will always have to decide when "good enough" is good enough.4. The sprayer works when there's no power. So you can see how much water you need to use for whatever effect you want. You can choose to use the slider on the side, but it also depends on how fast you move across the carpet while spraying. It ONLY SPRAYS WHEN YOU USE THE TRIGGER. Not just by going forward. If you don't use enough spray, and it will spray stripes and a lot of carpet won't get wet at all. Use too much and the padding underneath will get soaked. And it will be hard to suck all that water up (see observation #2)5. So far, I've used it on a terribly soiled carpet, an area rug, and a rubber backed indoor/outdoor door mat with a very short pile. I also used it to rinse off a linoleum floor. By far, the easiest to clean was the door mat. Although it can rinse off a linoleum floor, I went through a container of water really fast. So to rinse soapy water from an entire room might take a lot of trips to dump and refill. Going over my area rug a second time with pure clean water really did wonders for both its look and feel.6. I don't know what kind of heating element this vac supposedly uses, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Why call it a "proheat" when there's no noticeable heating being done anywhere. Maybe my vac came broken. Others will have to verify this. I've taken to using hot tap water.7. You can see the liquid you're picking up as it goes through the "hood" over the rollers, which is very nice. But that quarter inch chamber in the hood is all there is sucking up the liquid. This is why you need to go so slow - the vac really only picks up water a quarter inch at a time. It will suck in some from the surrounding area, but that quarter inch of direct suction is all there is. Don't get me wrong - it has excellent suction for that quarter inch by 11 inches. And if you want a half inch, you would need either twice the suction, or8. The rollers are belt driven, and can be over taxed. Turns out, tipping the vac forward on heavy carpet can overtax the belt and you get an unpleasant haze in the air - that's the belt slowly vaporizing. It seems safe to do on carpet with very short pile, like my area rug or door mat, but not on regular carpeting. Maybe this should have been my first observation, not my last.Something I wish for is some way to detach the brush rollers for cleaning as well. As it stands, you leave the nasty dirty rollers in place and just brush out debris. I'd rather store it with clean rollers, but there's no easy way to wash them while they are attached to the vac. I'm having to lift the entire vac either into the tub, or outside to rinse off the rollers.Overall, I am satisfied with this vac. It's function is impressive. And while the construction definitely could be better, it would cost a lot more if it were.
