I'm not even that fussed on the vacuums, I just love how you're one of the few reviewers that gets straight to the point, and even timestamps the videos.
I appreciate that, I dont like all the fluff at the beginning of videos either. I do make a conscious effort to get right to the important stuff.
@@VacuumWars I do have to say your totally unbiased. I had seen that Bissel Pro Heat 2x on TV. And just felt it was "cheap" looking. But hey; I take care of my stuff. Interesting is that a friend bought an older version of the Bissil Pro Heat Pet model for $20. The hand held cleaner works but the sprayer isn't on the front. It should be an easy fix though. It has a tank on the back which automatically adds soap. It's older as it has that plastic baffle in the front where the clean water goes in the baffle and the dirty water is collected on the exterior of the same baffle. Not the best design but for $20, I don't care. Great video. Short, informative, and to the point. Thank you!
I agree that it was well worth a watch.
@@VacuumWars The world will be a better place when YTers learn we don't want to look a full screen selfies for the first 5 minutes, yammering away.
Great, concise review, from the mostly happy owner of a Hoover SteamVac (8 years now).
"Hey guys, how are you? I'm so stoked to be doing this review, shout out to all my subscribers, if you haven't subscribed already, please do so. And hit that like button. Look at my funny shirt." In a slow voice that sounds like they are talking to a 5 year old, making the video even longer. It's best just to read reviews and read in general.
Iâm only here because of how satisfying the vacuuming is
Cool, I think I need to put together like an hour video of just pickup tests from various reviews.
Vacuum Wars that would be really dope and I wholeheartedly support that idea
I agree! I mean come on...who doesn't like carpet lines?đ€·đœââïž
Lol ASMR (unintentional) (visual)
I couldnât agree more... but, i do need a carpet cleaner since I only have 2 bedrooms with carpet
Good content for my 2 am brain
Lol, it's good for all brain times I think!
I'm literally watch at 1:56 am lol
1:59am im here lol
Hey why did you not show dry phone method brush roll :(
For the bissell big green machine: it should be pushed forward slowly with the trigger depressed, this dispenses solution on the forward stroke resulting in a pre soak.
I'm suddenly saddened that my house has wooden floors and not carpet lol
No no dont be sad i would trade carpet for wooden floors any day all the nasty stuff that gets embedded and allergens and stuff is a pain in the butt to keep clean đ
I agree especially when you have three dogs not talking small here *great dane labs*. Plus the hair gets stuck it smells overtime and is a pain like the other guy said
Cleaning carpets is fun... The first few times around. After that its annoying. Its kinda like being a kid and wanting to get in that first shave, but once you have to shave its annoying and you try to put it off as long as possible.
Don't be
I got a bissel proheat. I love it. I do my carpets every three months. Always use the low setting and only half a tank of water for my room. Dries super fast.
I watched this video, went out and bought the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro. Love, love, love it! It does a fabulous job!
I just wanted to say this was really informative. I watched this a year ago when looking to rent a carpet cleaner, I went with the big green. Since then, I have been looking for a home carpet cleaner, once I saw the power of the Bissel Revolution, I was sold. However I waited for it to go on sale at Canadian Tire (bought the red one - still pet - for $200, $300 off). It absolutely does just as you show!
so refreshing to see someone finally getting to the point vice first explaining what's a vacuum.
Thanks! we try to do just that...get to the point.
Bruh, Amen. These are top-notch digestible reviews.
As a recent purchaser of the Bissell Proheat X2, I love it! Definitely, definitely, definitely recommend!
Great to hear! Thanks!
How does it do with pet stains?
They work great but they are a pile of junk. I doubt it will last through ten carpet cleanings
@@thatsmalltowngirl4 i bought mine purely because my pup started having incontinence and has been peeing on the carpet as she cant get to her puppy pad quick enough. Its great! All the stains are out. Simple and easy to use!
I was looking to buy the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro and came on to my favorite channel about vacuums (this one!) to confirm before spending a lot to buy it. Glad to see its been a big hit for many of you. Thank you all so much!
My father has an Older Hoover SteamVac Model from either 1998 or 1999 & it still cleans up well to this day.
I've had the Bissell one for a little over a year now and I love it so much! With two dogs, three cats, a son, and a husband it's a lifesaver lol. You'd have to wrestle it out of my cold dead hands to get it away from me! đđ Seriously though - it is worth every single penny!
Lol
Does it work for "long-hair" carpets as well? Thanks!
@@adapaulinaalarcon5468 idk. I have fairly short carpet. But I don't see why it wouldn't work on carpets with longer fibers.
Thank you, your research and demonstration helped me make up my mind!
Thank you! Im glad it helped!
I'm going to be honest with you Rosanna, you can't go wrong with the Bissell Pro Heat! SERIOUSLY. I have the Bissell Lift-Off Pet Pro Heat model and it's nearly in it's 6th year and it was worth every cent!! My Bissell machine has taken a BEATING!! And not just at MY house, but I've gotten paid on the side to clean carpets in other people's homes as well. It has served me well and been a true WARRIOR! It has only been this week where I've noticed it's performance starting to diminish and fade out. But still no complaints. One thing I will give you a heads up on...that the majority of these "review" videos NEVER tell you is the frequent maintenance that these machines need. They are highly prone to performance loss due to the sprayer jets getting clogged up by carpet fibers and gunk. They frequently need to be taken apart and thoroughly cleaned out for best performance results, and Bissell designs their machines PURPOSELY so that this can be done regularly because it WILL need it. There are also a couple of filters on these machines that also need frequent attention. I personally am so use to it, that it doesn't bother me in the slightest. The superb performance in the end is well worth the effort, but be prepared to keep up this regular maintenance because these Bissell machines absolutely DO require this regular maintenance and I find it very unfair that nobody ever points that out. Cheers Rosanna.
I had an older version of the Bissel Revolution and it worked great- until it didnât work anymore. Replaced it with the Big Green, and I really do love it. I think theyâre both great machines. Bissel knows what theyâre doing!
Big green is heavy, but does the job well for us. Love that you don't have a bunch of yapping in your vlog. Much appreciated.
Thanks, I do try to keep yapping to an absolute minimum đ
The big green is also $400 vs the Bissell x2 proheat which is $189
The issue with the big green machine is outdated and doesn't have a heat and multiple brushes.
It also uses a lot more water and cleaning solution.
In order to get the brush spinning, you have to keep spraying it.
@@elephant1992 The Big Green has a bigger stronger brush that gets deeper into the carpet and it actually uses the same amount of water as the smaller Bissell, but it sucks a lot more water and cleans way deeper. Smaller units no matter the brand just clean the surface and thats it, thats all they can do. Run over you foot with the Smaller ProX and it'll barely irritate your skin, but do the same with Big Green and it'll take a bunch of skin off!!
I used a Big name company for years, as my entire 3 story home has wall 2 wall carpet, they only used solution for stains and the rest is steam cleaned only. I purchased the Big Green about 3 years ago and it's been great except for the fact that the solution is quite costly($60 or more for my home). Instead, I've been using very hot water and fabric softener in the Big Green for more of a steam clean while softening and refreshing, and only using spot cleaner for stains and the results have been incomparable. I luv it.
@@champagnenoir9361 Try some Tide with Downy in the Big Green, it works great! Much better than the soap that goes with it!!
I am so HAPPY to know that I made a good purchase with the Bissel Pet carpet cleaner. I watches some official Bissel user videos before I made my purchase. These videos also helped me understand how to use the machine.
Awesome! Glad it helped!
I'm so proud of my choices. I never tried to compare carpet cleaners but that very Bissel is the one we picked out to clean our carpet. It practically erases old stains like they never existed. Only thing it didn't excel at was upholstery. But I still recommend.
I have the Hoover and it really does take a lot off the floor and out of the carpet. I would say for the price it is the best option especially as you pointed out on a budget. Great review!
I have an earlier model of the Bissell pro heat and itâs lasted me like 6 years and itâs amazing. I really love it.
Why is it just so hypnotic watching carpets being cleaned! Great to the point vidđ
I knew my mom had a bissell in the basement, no idea when she bought it, but she used it without sweeping first and it was in poor shape. Spent the afternoon cleaning and fixing it up, then went to work on some soiled areas of carpet around the house. TOTALLY WORTH IT. So satisfying getting those annoying stains out and making the whole room smell nice
Thanks for video. I have to agree the Bissell is the one that I have and it does a great job! Got mine from QVC. Great demonstration.
Thanks, I saw the QVC video too. It was pretty convincing!
Great video! Thanks.
I just picked up the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro last night based on this and other reviews all showing its performance.
I have an older Bissell ProHeat 2x Pet, and I love mine. When parts break, they still have pretty much every possible part you can buy to fix it. I've only broken the plastic in the front on the steps and I messed up the seal on the soap dispenser. Cheap fixes. I'd buy a Bissell again in a heartbeat.
I use to have the Bissell. It didn't hold up and needed constant repairs. When we had a broken water pipe, a neighbor brought over his Hoover. In a side by side comparison, the Hoover got significantly more water out of the carpet. I ditched the Bissell, and I am very happy with the Hoover.
No kidding, I went through 5.
Wow, I'm impressed with the Bissell. Recently rented a rug doctor to do my apartment and it did well, wish I bothered to look this up beforehand though. Good job.
We have a Bissell ProHeat. We don't use it anymore as the new house we immediately ripped all the carpet out because carpet doesn't belong in a house, but our last house had 1 room with oatmeal colored Berber, no stain or dirt stood a chance against that scrubber. We kept it for the furniture attachment. Great machine
Good to hear from an owner, thanks for commenting!
Have scratching wood floors
Oooo love this! Looks so good, love cleaning our carpets but never know which one to use!
I have a hoover power scrub elite and it's really good. It can also clean in forward or reverse movement
I have the hoover steamvac with clean surge. I think that's by far the best cleaner for the money. I've been very happy with it.
I have the Bissell pro heat (purple one) but the newer version and I absolutely love it. It really fluffs up your carpet!
That bissell is amazing. Works wonders.
I just bought the Bissell Proheat Pet X2! It is awesome my carpet looks amazing and smells so fresh
I donât even have carpet in my house. Why am I here?
Lol
Research? đ
To be satisfied!
Ha! Just posted the same thing.
Hehe yeah omg I wish I had carpeted floors because of this video to buy it. Lol
I thank you for the recommendation and purchased a Bissell Pro-Heat 2X Revolution Pet Pro to clean light colored carpet. The machine worked great and thank you again.
I got one of the Bissell ProHeat Pet last year. Fantastic and easy. Mine also came with a tray that lets the machine clean itself. The best hands down. I'm also disabled and can use this, highly recommend.
I have the Bissell pro heat 2x for pet care and it's honestly amazing to have. I've used rug Doctors before and felt like it could have done far better. The only thing I recommend is using a rubber pet hair broom on the carpet before vacuuming to avoid getting the Bissell suction clogged with cat hair. It does leave large clumps of hair behind when going from a backwards to a forwards pass.
Indention Thanks for mentioning this idea! Will do!
The bissel pro heat revolution is great. I just got one and was amazed at how well it cleaned our really gross carpet.
Great video! Went straight to the point! I loved the comparison, it was very helpful. Thanks!
Awesome, im glad it helped.
Short simple and sweet! Thanks!
This was very informative. Thank you!!
Thank you very much for the detailed review!! Very helpful in picking out my new shampooer for my household. I went with the winning model & bought the Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro. So far works GREAT!! Waaaayyyy better than the original âBissell Proheat 2x pet lift-off upright & portable carpet cleanerâ we had.. So far the only con I found was the dirty tank gets full pretty fast in âdeep cleanerâ mode but I can get past this due how well it cleans / sucks up the dirty water. Oh & also how EASILY it comes apart to really clean the machine. Definitely worth checking reviews when buying an item. đ
Iâve had the Bissell since their preorder and because I have carpet and pets this one was perfect. Itâs night and day difference when you use it. Super lightweight. Nothing ever breaks. Cleaning chemicals are inexpensive and last you a long time but on top of all of this you forgot to mention that Bissell is probably the only one that actually makes your carpet and house smell gooood and clean! Still going strong
I must agree. I too have used kirby bissell petpro revaluation and many others. I have pets and the revolution is my favorite
Had a question. I have an auto detailing business and when I clean the carpets and mats in vehicles I first scrub them with a cleaner then just use my Bissell heat spot pro with just water to extract that cleaner as well as pickup any other dirt. Have you tried this with home carpets? Just curious as I am trying to figure out whether it is worth to go with Bissell ProHeat Revolution for my home.
Bissell carpet steam cleaners have alway been my fave. Rented a rug doctor once... it was a waste of time and money
Thank you for this video. I've been meaning to buy a carpet cleaner vacuum for my home but didnt know how to go about buying the best one.
awesome! Im glad it helped!
Great review, thanks. I was curious, what carpet detergent did you use for your test ? Does one detergent work better than others?
I canât tell you how great these videos are. Thank you for doing this. Because of this vid 1 year ago I bought the Bissell Pet Pro Heat 2X whatever because I have a love for carpet and children. This is easily the best purchase Iâve made in my ten years of marriage.
It has made my mothering kinder, my carpets cleaner & my marriage happier! Thanks Vacuum Wars for saving me time and heartache by doing so much research for me!!! Now I need a new upright. Mine crapped out. Whaddaya think? Got any suggestions?
I LOVE these reviews!!
Thank you for the great demonstration!!
Thank you so much for video. This kind of videos are very informative and helpful
I would also like to see a test just comparing carpet cleaning solutions.
Kirby were always good and remember from when had one. Really good Hoover's too
I'm a pro carpet cleaner watching this video for leisure. Thanks for all the "other" videos you have done. Really helped me to grow.
Yep its me, hope all is well and thanks for the kind words. đ
@@VacuumWars
Keep up the good work. Your thoroughness researching and explaining things is a rare talent in this New Age.
God bless you from South Carolinaâșïž
Great straightforward video. Thanks.
Hi, just curious, have you tried the numatic George. I'm attracted to the numatic reliability and the fact that it cleans both wet and dry.
Thanks
I have the bissell pet and it's amazing!! The handheld parts are awesome for small stains.
Thanks for sharing!
Great Video, and great comparensin, I have the Bissell Big Green, I think I'm getting next the Bissell Pro Heat X next
thanks for the great review. I have a floor cleaner & within 6 months, it started leaking. the cleaning solution leaks right out. I am in need of a new one. I think your video made the decision pretty simple. thanks again
Cool! Glad it helped!
These videos are very satisfying, thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for stopping by!
I love Bissell carpet cleaners!
Me too, they also make my fav spot carpet cleaner!
I've got about 5 that's junk. You can come and get them. Most have burnt out motors. The others fall apart.
Mine lasted a while. It was the cleaning solution container that fell apart (leaked). It also wasnât applying cleaning solution evenly and applied sparsely too.
I had a Bissell PowerSteamer that lasted about 9 years, now I have the Hoover Powerscrub fh50135. I will go back to Bissell when my Hoover wears out.
I wish these reviews included long term reliability ratings. All the cleaners I've tried are lucky to make it 18 months. Many are hard to repair or get repaired. Warranties aren't consumer friendly either.
I went through two of the Bissell Pro Heat âs and both had the same problem. Paint from the inside of the heating element flakes off and clogs the spray nozzles rendering the unit useless. I switched to the Hoover and have yet to have a problem. The Hoover doesnât heat the water, like the Bissell, but at least it works!
This was nice, I want to clean a few spots in my apartment before I move out and the Rug Doctor is the only one available in the town I live in, so I'm glad it's at least decent!
Awesome review. Quick and to the point. Got a sub. Thank you.
Im glad i saw this video. Been shopping around and asking friends and family on what is best. Now i know what to invest my money in cleaning aparatus.
Thank you sooo much.
Can you do a steam mop next?
Could you please do a test between the several different Bissell carpet cleaners against each other?
Straight and to the point with no bs. I like it
I like this video n I have the Hoover n the bissell n the older Hoover n most of my clients always ask for the Hoover steam n I guess it because we treat the carpet with a spray resolve n the Hoover steam goes to work after the resolve sets in for ten minutes. Great video n the rug doctor is a beast also but I really like the bissell n the Hoover connection.
Thank you for doing this review
Did you use enzymes beforehand to pull everything up first before vacuuming?
Yes, I do agree that the Bissell ProHeat Rev x2âs a good one. Definitely worthy of ownership. Cheaper over time than those store rental machines, and probably better performance than the rentals on top of all that.
I have the pro heat and omg itâs the best thing Iâve ever purchased
What about the "Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Washer FH50150"? Did it not qualify for this review?
That Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro destroyed the carpet in my den after about 30 seconds of use! It picked the fibers apart and also some of the fibers got ripped out. I spoke with a vacuum cleaner store guy and he told me that the dual rollers are too intense and have very hard bristles. He recommended a commercial Hoover that has several small circular (soft) brushes that rotate.
Love my Hoover carpet cleaner đ
This was highly enjoyable to watch.
Thanks!
That Bissell surprised the hell out of me!
Would be nice to see which one does best on short medium and long fiber carpets
I love my bissell pet pro!!! Its been a God send because I'm potty training my kiddos!!
I got a Hoover a while back and it leaks like crazy. Thank you now I know what to get.
I have had the same problem. It's very tricky to get the supply tank seated properly, even with newly replaced seals. It leaks into the motor while you're futzing with it. Dangerous.
First of all that was satisfying to watch and 2nd this was the best vacuum review Iâve seen. I was about to rent the BISSELL big green, Iâve never done this before so I was wondering if it needs time to dry at all? If so how long?
the bissel pro heat is the best cleaner on the market. I bought one refurbished by bissel off of ebay for $120 and it's the best money I've spent in a minute.
Thank you! This is so nice to know!
Yes, I work at Lowe's and I purchased the Bissle for my son because he had a dog and I tell ya, after one use, the carpet looked better than move in dayđ *Awesome investment*
This was in my recommendations which is weird because I just bought my bissell proheat 2x Revolution today and Iâm planning on cleaning my carpets within the next couple days so Iâm super excited itâs a good one lol. For under $200 thatâs really good.
Big green also allows for push pull cleaning.
now i'm 100% sold on the bissell 2x revolution
There are a lot of complaints about dirty water leaking out of the Bissell Pro heat after it is turned off and moved around, I've had this problem on multiple Bissells including my Little Green Machine. One thing that wasn't pointed out in this video, that's been pointed out in other reviews, is the fact the Big Green Machine cleans much deeper, mainly due to the significant amount of weight it applies, stains will reappear much quicker with light weight cleaners. Also the Big Green Holds 1.75 gallons of water vs 1 gallon for the smaller units, in my experience it takes about 5 gallons to clean a 12 x 17 room to the point where the water comes out clean. When you take everything into account, the Big Green is a better deal!
The Big Green is amazing af, but rental units go through so much wear, tear, and abuse that their power wears down.
I rented one when they first came to my local store and they were truly amazing, lifting year old stains that nothing else had worked on. But now 5 years later, those same machines at my store dont work as well. Some diminished function is expected, but I think they would last much longer in a person's home since they would be used much less frequently (and roughly) than a rental unit.
Excellent reviews of these machines.
It would be REALLY nice to see a "wet test" afterwards, like once the cleaning is all finished, use a towel or something to show us how wet the carpet is after use. One of my biggest complaints of rug scrubbers is how awfully wet the carpets are afterwards. It's very frustrating esp when you have multiple ppl walking around in your home. For me, this would be a key factor in my purchase decision.
Thank you for this!!!
Love the video! Straight to the point. No bologna! đ
Thanks we try to be 100% bologna free in our videos as well as our eating habits!
I actually legit just purchased the bissel pro-heat from Walmart like 30 min ago lol.. it was on sale so I figured you know it may not be the best but I will have cleaner carpets, glad this video says otherwise and recommends what I got! Purchased because I just had my first child and my wife and I are noticing small pee spots on the couch and some spots on the carpet.
Can the Bissell proheat 2x revolution pet pro be used to clean rough kitchen tiles?
Thank you for your video
I just bought the Bissell Proheat
I wonder how the older pro heat Bissellâs would fair against the big green
