BISSELL DeepClean Premier Full Sized Carpet Cleaner, 47A2

I owned a Bissel ProHeat 2X for over 12 years and I liked its design though its performance began to falter over the years as minor parts began to break. I love my new DeepClean Premier. The design is similar to the ProHeat and the performance so far in both the carpet mode and hose attachment mode have been exceptional. It cleans well and sucks up most of the water from the carpet so drying time is much quicker than with my old ProHeat. The larger size of the DeepClean water tank is much appreciated too. My only complaint is that, unlike the ProHeat, there is no separate "rinse" capability. Soap is added directly to the water tank so if you want to rinse with clean water, you have to empty the tank and refill it with clear water.

This is an awesome machine. Seriously for myself, I could not find anything I disliked about it. We just moved into our home and the carpet was old, in ok condition but very very dirty. It was quite mated down. There was a lot of sand and pet fur ground into the carpet along with stains. It was very dingy because of the Asphalt dust through out the whole carpet. Didn't feel very good under our bare feet either. Christmas was right around the corner so did a lot of research on Steam Cleaners. I found very good ratings on the Full Sized Bissell DeepClean Premier. So decided to get it.I vacuumed very well with a Shark Professional Vacuum before starting, and treated all the stains I could find including pet stains I found with a special light with Natural Rapport Pet Stain and Odor Remover and also Genesis 950 . This machine was easy to put together and operate. It truly deep cleans and did a fabulous job. We used Procyon Extreme Carpet Cleaner for our cleaning solution which is Soap Free and Odor Free.I love that this Bissell has a heater to keep the hot water continuously warm as I went very slow over the carpet. I also like that it has only one container and the clean water bladder is inside the container, so as the dirty water gets sucked up it goes around the bladder so you can easily empty that dirty water and again fill with fresh water and or some solution back into the empty bladder. Also makes it very easy to clean when finished. Never had any problems with leaks. I have used it 3 times now, one was a rinse. This Bissell has great suction also. I am 63 and was grateful that the Bissell though it was Full Size was easy to move around.The carpet almost looks like new and all the stains are gone, the carpet is not flat anymore and it feels great under our feet and smells fresh. Can you believe that? We were told that the previous owner used a Rug Doctor before we bought the place. But why was there still so much sand, fur and stains still left in the carpet? Oh I also bought a Grandi Groom Carpet Rake which also helps to dig down into the fibers to loosen things up and at the end of steam cleaning to help lift up the fibers. Some time later, a local carpet cleaner guy came over and said: The carpet looks like a professional job. Well, the complement goes to the machine. It did a great Job.This Bissell is very attractive and easy to use. Loved how it handles and clean up was a breeze. That whole top part and container can be rinsed off in the sink. At the very last I tipped the machine over so I could clean the bottom of the machine and that was it. If I could give it more stars I would. Thank you for reading this review. Hope it helped.

I was pretty excited about this cleaner, based on the positive reviews. I've owned other models of Bissell steam cleaners and have been satisfied with their performance. My household includes 3 children, 4 very active Belgian Shepherds, and a couple of cats. A veritable zoo....and a challenge for someone who is a clean carpet fanatic.I was disappointed upon first using the cleaner - prior models had an indicator that let you see when you had run out of the carpet cleaning solution or clean water if cleaning with just water. Prior models also allowed you to customize the amount of solution that was added to your water, based on the job you needed to do. When the dial stopped spinning, the solution tank was empty.This model gives no indication when you have run out of solution, you just have to figure it out. NOT an improvement.But by far my biggest complaint is related to the amount of water left in the carpet. Prior models left the carpet damp, but this one leaves it so WET it takes a couple of days to dry, even after repeated attempts to remove the excess moisture. It is also creates a situation that means the user will need to clean again sooner - the moisture left in the carpet includes carpet cleaning solution (essentially soap) which then attracts dirt. The end result? My carpets look great, but remain too wet.....and then require cleaning again far to soon because the residual soap in the carpet attracted more dirt.

It worked well at first and then the trigger stopped working. It's a shame that it stopped working because the machine did an excellent job at cleaning my carpet. I tried troubleshooting the problem with the solutions in the manual, but nothing worked.

I was crazy about the Bissell Proheat 2X machine's ability to clean my rugs. I was distressed by the difficulty I had getting the machine to work again every few months. My fingers are crossed that this machine will continue to provide me with outstanding rug cleaning. It is easier to clean up after using. The new water container system is fine. It is a heavy machine but manageable. Ask me to rate this product six months from now. Hopefully I will be confident enough to give it a rating of 5. I don't want to take another shiny new-looking Bissell steam rug cleaner to the landfill!
