Need a 2020/21 version of this. Thank you for making it a quick video
You're welcome!
@@VacuumWars Doesn't the Spotclean Pro have a mechanical scrubber on the bottom of the base as well?
@@ZapDash That's the dirty tank on this one. You're thinking of the pet one or the hands-free....whatever they call it. My point is they're 2 different versions. Which I'm sure you learned in the last 3 months since you posted lol
@@VacuumWars I was just going to say we need a new video and then I saw you most recent video lololol our old one died I always go to your videos for anything cleaning related!!
Anybody know the kpa on the bissell
Thank you! Helped a lot with product selection. I have a friend that recommended Hoover, but I’ll try the Bissell since I own two of the same vacuum.
Thank you kindly. I turned this video to get some insight on the Rug Doctor.
Thanks for the informative reviews! If I may, I would like to add my two cents about the bissell. We have owned the Bissell Spot Bot for a little over a year. Based on the Spot Clean Pros appearance here the similarities and these are the down falls we have had with our Spot Bot. The thin clear material of the hose does not do well with vigorous scrubbing . After about 8-10 uses it got a split in it. I wrapped it in gorilla tape and it has held but it sucks it happened so soon and you can't buy a replacement hose. The head does not come apart and is hard to clean. Sorry to be graphic but our cat sometimes yaks up his wet food and after getting what we can get with a paper towel there are still bits that get sucked up in the head. I've rinsed, soaked, everything and it stays. It looks like the clear piece might snap off and on but it for sure does not. I had to epoxy it back on. Guess it would be beneficial if it wasn't clear that way I would not know the ick that lives with in. If we have more problems with the hose I might look into the Little Green as that hose looks sturdier. Oh, and the way the hose wraps around the Spot Bot is super dumb and the spot bot scrubber part of it saturates your carpet (so you end up using the hose anyway) and essentially untwist the tufts of your carpet. So what I'm saying is don't get the spot bot.
Take note: THIS is a review. 🔥🔥
I think a much more controlled test would be to use the same cleaning solution in all units.
Excellent Review! Thank you very much!
I appreciate your clear and thorough reviews! As I noted in your upright shampooer review, the Bissell machines have a design flaw [in 2020] wherein the brushes keep turning even though one is using the attachments, and can ruin carpets and cords! I purchased the Hoover Powerdash, which was your second favorite upright, and decided to get this Bissell SpotClean Pro [Abt Electronics @ $30 off] as a spot cleaner and car detailing shampooer. For a combined price of just over $250, I have greater versatility and performance than asking one machine to do it all.
Thank you for this info. I'm going to do the same!
Thank you for the review! Very helpful 👍
Thank you for this video it was exactly what I was looking for.
You have not told your viewers about the hose flaw on the Bissell. It breaks easily and bisell will turn a blind eye and tell you to buy a brand new one
Haha I went straight to this lol thank you
Hello,
I just came across your channel and I love it. I was wondering if you can make a comparison video on the Bissell spot cleaners. I'm having trouble deciding which one I should buy.
Bissell Spotbot Pet Handsfree Spot and Stain Cleaner
Bissell SpotClean ProHeat Portable Spot Cleaner
or
Bissell 3624 SpotClean Professional Portable Carpet Cleaner
Great review! Thank you so much. Your very quick and get to the point without using that horrible over excited salesman voice. I could watch your reviews over and over.
*You're
damn! best review I've come across. SHORT AND SWEET.
Thanks!
Quick and to the point. Great video. We need more people taking this approach to videos
I appreciate that!
Mustard is tough to get out for anything. Mustard has vinegar in it. Vinegar plus spices, etc., is essentially a dye. I’m surprised they did so well on that stain. Did all 3 leave the carpet relatively dry? Any one drier than the other?
I brought the bissell here in Australia. Works a treat. After running out of bissell solution I tried the Hoover spot clean solution from my local vacuum shop and it works just as well. It’s amazing how much crap is removed from seemingly clean carpet.
*bought
BTW for what it's worth. Given the chance, consider powerwash for carpet/rug cleaning. Certainly has the disadvantages of having to be removed and get rid of the water. But in terms of pure cleaning it's simply unbeatable! ;-)
THANK YOU! This is the BEST and QUICKEST review I have seen. I do Uber and yesterday a customer threw up on my car. I reported to Uber and I honestly can’t wait for Uber to respond back. I need to hit the road. Also, it’s Sunday, majority of detailers are close and I need to clean the mess from yesterday before it leaves a smell and a stain. So THANK YOU for this review. Life Saver!
Glad it helped! Good luck!
Dang you mean business. Under five minutes. A HUGE thank you for a quick, concise and thoughtful review.
Thanks!!!
The Bissell would have done even better if you had used the small nozzle, I have used mine for a bit, and found that with deep stains the small head will remove even more stain using the small nozzle after the big one 🙂
Thank you for this video!
It would be helpful to test the long term durability of these units. The Hoover and Bissell hoses break in several places after just a short time, they need to be called out on this to improve the hose designs.
Do you think this is the strongest portable bissell? I’ve seen other ones like the pro clean heat version but not sure which one to get for car interiors. Nice video
Nice quick and easy review
I would like to see a comparison of the cleaning solutions for these type carpet cleaners please. :-)
Straight to the point - great
Thank you for your video. Which would be best for pet stains? Namely cat urine?
thank you thank you for this video
From the amazon reviews there were comments saying the Bissell hose splits after about 1yr and has to be sent away to be fixed as not user replacable. The Rug Doctor is said to have leaks from the bottom. Didnt look at the Hoover. Anyone had these issues?
I bought the basic Bissell Little Green for $75 at Wal-Mart. It's been good to me, so far.
I have noticed, in my opinion , that Bissell does better at this machines than regular vacuums. Also I have wondered if the "formula" is different on the shampoos and would be curious to see the same solution used in all the machines.
Thank you.the video just made my mind up which one to purchase
Enjoy it!
Nice! My wife ordered the Bissel last night based only on rankings from The Wirecutter and it looks like you ranked it #1 too.
Yep! Its a great machine!
Can we get a shout out to this guy for the most concise to the point non click bait review iver ever seen ...
When he said there was a clear winner I was like ... oh God... it's gonna be 45min to get to it ..
Nope ... good test, clear results.. my God... subscribed just for this quality and non CZcams BullCarp
Wow thank you!
i have the Spot Clean Pro and though it lasted a couple of years, warning: the way the hose wraps when not in use actually puts a pressure point on the plastic and it broke open at the neck near the brush. Bissel's own comment section for this mentions the hose breaking for many people- right outside of warranty and it costs $120 for a dealer to fix. The plastic needed to be soft to bend but stiff too and torque and tension aren't its friend. I don't know that i can recommend this to anyone except 'it works great- until the hose breaks 2.1 years in'
Sounds like you got your money's worth
Same thing happened to me, but the new hose is $15 on Ebay takes about 20 minutes to change out!
@@audraius I've been checking on eBay and haven't found a replacement hose for the spot clean pro model 3624c. Did the listing have a part number by chance?
@@sneakypoof give me a minute so I can point you in the right direction! Let me check Ebay for a second.
Yes Matt there is one on there for $36 type in keywords bissell spotclean proheat replacement hose 3624c
Other important considerations would be: 1) does the cleaning head come apart for cleaning; 2) is the dirty water tank designed so you can rinse all the mess/hair out (my old little green machine has a bunch of catch-points where filth sticks and goes moldy; 3) does some dirty water sit in the bottom fermenting (again my old machine has a whole sub-floor where dirty water stays in the machine and then when you turn the machine on, the air fills with the smell of mold. I would love to find a machine that can be rinsed out and cleaned easily and fully between uses but I can't find any reviews discussing these points.
the Hoover has the self-clean function.
Anybody use on sofa cleaner please
Can these be used for a wet spill clean up on solid, non-carpeted floors?
which dried the fastest?
thanks. i bought the Bissell because of your great review
Thanks. I hope you enjoy it!
This video helps very much thank you
Glad to hear that!
are you sure you aren't misquoting the bissell model? 3624, not 3625?
throughout your video and in your description you quote it as the 3625, but even within the link you supply and in the URL for the link you supply it is 3624. i also personally own this device, and it too is 3624.
I'm confused so how would the BISSELLProHeat 2X Revolution compare to these spot cleaners? Are these significantly better at spot cleaning/deep cleaning?
i have a numatic george it sucks like a monster but i have converted it for car seats with the small bissel head on it ... rather than fishtail than it come with it 👍
short and sweet, thanks
You bet!
Someone knows what the different between spotclean 1558 and the spotclean 3624 ? From some reason the sell only the 1558 in my country
Could you do this test again? There are so many more available now in different price ranges. Also I would like to know how durable these have been over time.
bissel is not that durable, the hose breaks down in few months and you won't get any help from bissell.
I’ve watched soooo many videos about the same topic. How hard can it be to get a carpet cleaner/spot cleaner that really works and does what it’s supposed to do? I’m trying to do small upholstery work/cleaning on the side but want a good reliable product. People are consistently rating subpar machines as good or great almost like it’s standard to just settle for “ average” performance when you’re spending your hard earned money! Lol. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good carpet cleaner machine that works just as well on fabric furniture for deep cleaning and sanitizing? Or is anything like that going to be $500 and above? Thank you so much in advance!
Would you think the Bissell Spot Clean Pet Pro 2458 has more suction power then the Bissell Spot Clean Pro 3625?
Are these better then a henry wash 370? Had one on my previous job and it was good
For water extraction machines, you should test suction for each machine because suction is water lift. 😎
do you happen to know what the conversation of airflow to vacuum lift is? I have a bissle spot pro and trying to decide if upgrading to the aqua vac is worth it. It has an 1100w motor with 79" of water lift
@@TheDersEffect8 airflow and suction are separate things. They do not covert to one another.
@@VacLab poo. Any chance you know the water lift of a Bissell? Specifically of the one used in this test, I use the same one.
@@TheDersEffect8 I don't have any of those machines, so I can't say.
Great review 👍
Thanks! 👍
I wish you had gone through the details about the units, like the length of the vacuum hose, capacity of the water tanks, and so on. I own a Bissell little green machine and I like it except for the fact the water tank is way too small and the hose is way too short. Considering how expensive bigger machines are, I am tempted to upgrade to the pro version but it would have to address those two issues. Would have been nice to see a comparison with the other Bissell units as well so we can see the advantages of the pro unit. But it's a still a good video. I was considering the Rub Doctor one but not anymore ;)
Calendyr I used my sister rug doctor and work amazing for car interior I returned my bissell
I love your video’s and have a suggestion.
Don’t upload multiple videos in one day.
People have the tendency to unsub when they feel you are spamming there inbox.
Spread them out like one a day.
Keep up the great work!
*videos *their
What about pet urine stains???
I have been using the rug dr for 1 year. I’ve sent it back once for repair under warranty (had to pay for one way shipping). It worked good for about 3 weeks. It barely works. Complete trash product after several uses. Also you need to clean these products after using or they smell. Never lend to anyone. If you do, RIP.
Same. Mine sucks, and not in a good way.
Nice presentation. Thanks. Still checking other people's feedback with the Bissell. Some owners sent in problems with the hose, it cracks or rips and Bissell somehow don't have replacement for it on their website. Neither does other appliance parts stores. Any suggestions? Thanks
I have the spot clean pro, the hose handle snapped and the hose is also starting to crack.. Looked everywhere for a replacement hose and ya it doesn't seem to be available.. Really disappointing
Based on the review I purchased the Bissell 3624 Spot Clean Pro. I guess less than a month of use and the motor went kaput on me. I guess review should have included durability.
It has a 2 year warranty
I had mine for a few years, still works great.
Any item can break.
Can anyone attest to the long term holdup? Im interested in one but im scared because so many people say the bissell and hoovers don't last
Can this also pick up small trash and stuff?
Thanks! Just what I was looking for!
Sadly the Rug Doctor - which appears to have better accessories is no longer available - at least in Canada.
Great!
That's a bummer! I'm sorry.
The most important question for me, how much water does each leave in the seat, aka which leaves the least amount of water in the seat
2 years later... so what's the verdict Mr. NG?
@@Senorlatulla I got the latest Hoover vaccum/spot attachment because it’s more value, it has good functions. Haven’t had a problem, expect one time I did deep cleaning which I didn’t understand, but that means the carpets were too wet. I would think that’s for a very small spot such as a wine spill, and not the whole hall way. I would think rug machine is also good since they have a professional model that they rent, but be sure to check the reviews before buying. Also it might be a little more expensive than Hoover. I would not recommend bissel unless it is thier lastest innovative product because thier stuff is more underpowered and can saw some reviews where the green spot machine was hard to service when broken. But be wary of their new product while looks good, check for reviews to make sure it’s not easily broken. So I would recommend the latest Hoover to save costs, then probably a rug doctor, and then if the latest Bissel model if it’s innovative and has good reviews you can also go for that, but not their older models
@@Senorlatulla just saw someone say the bissel will have their hose crack which will cost more because you have to then buy another one. Idk thier latest innovative products, but I’ll stick to the tried and reliable, latest Hoover. Sorry for making you read so much
I'm glad you responded! 🤣
This was actually pretty helpful!
What is everyone test items that you would never find in a vehicle? Would be great if someone could do a video and with commonly spilled items like coffee, wine and chocolate.
Bissell SpotClean ProHeat or Hoover Fh11300pc?
did you know you can open the top part of the dirty tank?????????? put the big handle reverse (towards the back) and it opens up the locking mechanism. maybe you need to update this video.
Hi, I am curious if you made a typo on the Bissell spotclean pro. You wrote model 3625? I can only find 3624. I am wanting to purchase this portable cleaner but want to make sure I purchase the correct one based on your review. The link sends you to the 3624. Are tthey identical?
barbara brooks it’s 3624 model I have and works perfect, specially for cars if you have kids and they stain carpets or seats!
A shop vac would be better stronger suction and you can use it as a vacuum, cheaper too.
I'm seriously considering turn my Nilfisk shop vacuum into an "extractor". All that's needed is the end nozzle and a spray reservoir with the respective wand.
All available on Ebay, Amazon, etc. and it's not even expensive!
Cost/benefit and sheer power make the shop vacuum an amazing option. Beside the fact I already own a decent shop vacuum. ;-)
So, wet & dry powerful vacuum, extractor function, blower function and tool controlled remote operation. This last function it's very useful with portable saws, drill, sanders, etc. ALL in ONE! And cheaper than these! I believe I convinced myself. LOL :-)
Hoover spotless vs Bissell proheat spotclean
On average, how long does it take for the carpet to dry after you use one of these machines?
I checked it in 24 hrs and all were dry.
I have the bissell spot clean Pro
you didnt show how the last one worked that was the hoover one you showed the first two why is that I would think most would like to see all
3624*
reading all the reviews on Amazon, It sounds like Bissell will inevitably have a cracked hose which will take you to another youtube video and Amazon purchase for a DIY to replace it every 2 years.
That means whoever is 2nd place in this video may be the better purchase.
Rug Doctor has the best hose. I had a Bissell and had to replace the expensive hose in less than a year. I have had the Rug Doctor for almost two years with out a cracked hose or any other kind of issue. I would buy a Rug doctor again.
I bought my Bissell Spot clean Pro in 2018 and it is still funning strong. I also watch a car detailer who also recommended this same exact machine as he uses it for car carpet and upholstery cleaning. Detail Geek
How about suction. It sure looked good on screen but how much power does each have?
spot cleaners are better because of the cleanup; less and easier to clean up to maintain the machine.
soooo what is the best ?
Paids promotion? I am looking for the most honest review
Which do you personally think is better rug doctor or bissell?
Blue Ridge Cabin Cleaning thank you
I need an update version of this video. I been searching for reviews on the heated ones and dose the heated vacuum make a difference?
Get the professional.. As a pro detailer "heated" extractor's are trash.. The Professional has an upright extractor motor in it.. Which is why it's so much better than the other's.. The heat serious only has a 3.5 suction amperage.. The professional has a 5.7
Sacredheals TV since I commented I went a head and ordered the Bissell pro heat and I hated it. The suction sucked a full tank would suck less then 1/5 the water. I felt like I had better result with going old school with a rag and a bucket of water.
Sacredheals TV so your absolutely right. And the water never felt warm or hot even tho I put warm water in so it was a waste of money overall.
@@sacredhealstv901 *extractors *others

Do you think Bissell's heated version would be any better?
I don’t think it made much of a difference...
I know you posted this 2 years ago but just in case you are still wondering: I have the proheat pet spotcleaner and it was the biggest waste of money ever other than the handheld "pet stain eraser." It takes hours to clean a small spot, multiple refills and dumps, leaks out the bottom, the hose/suction will randomly cut off, and it does not suck up water very well.
Unbeatable suction
What about Vax??
I when with the Hoover and works fine @99 bucks
Premium doing exactly the same than the smaller models, why expect "much better than the cheaper units" 0:20
My roommate has one but I can't figure out how to use it
Erin Averyt
Search for the manual online using the model number
Brasiiiilll decime que se sienteeeeee
So buy a Hoover!!!
You really should’ve actually put them up against this much cheaper, but better machine called Vacmaster EasyClean Carpet Spot Cleane
Noted! Thanks!
I had the hoover carpet cleaner. It will crack after three uses. Also there was a short in it. I got shocked after using it. Don't buy the hoover carpet cleaner.
I never noticed this, but this video was posted on my Birthday! I am 14 now not 2.
Honestly I feel that the Hoover should have come in second place
It really was the least good in terms of build quality, that hurt its chances for 2nd.
The Bissell is the winner
the bissell has only 750w of power.... :(
and its the strongest one :D Hoover 400 w
Bissell won 🏆
I had the Bissell...was shocked at how weak the suction was. I returned it. Better to pay a professional to do the job.
Rubbish
I’m irritated because the rug doctor I had for 10 years finally quit so I bought your number one. It sucks but not in good way. I’m very hesitant to believe your reviews and I’m a vacuum nut. I think you might be being paid by bissel- I am going through hell trying to return that garbage whilst cleaning up everything it couldn’t do with a the new rug doctor. I had the old version in your video and it was amazing for ten years. I truly believed you but the machine you praise is awful. I don’t trust you or your reviews anymore. I have a Sebo vacuum. I am serous about serous cleaning. I think your being sponsored in some way to sell an inferior product. Done with you. Bissel vacuums are terrible- the only one I like is the proheat pet carpet cleaner that does perform well. You sold out otherwise.
