Clean up with Bissell

Advantages: Very light and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Not heavy duty, pointless on hard floors.

...I got the Bissell Quick Wash after spotting it in Tesco for a measly 70 quid. We have been planning to clean our carpets for some time. Bringing up 3 youngsters I shudder to think what lurks under my Shag Pile. So an impulse buy really, the idea being that hiring a cleaner wouldn't be very satisfying if that tummy bug comes back or my youngest fails his potty training test. I was quite impressed by how well it locked together with the minimum of assembly required. A Phillips screwdriver and three screws and you are there. The unit comes with a goodly supply of cleaning fluid, four bottles of carpet shampoo and two bottles of hard floor cleaner. This was a bit annoying as I had bought some extra, it doesn?t state they are included on the box. Although the unit is intended for carpet cleaning primarily it does come with a hard...

Review of Bissell 1970E

The Bissell 'Powerforce' (It sucks well)

Advantages: Great suction, Reliable, easy to use
Disadvantages: Not much fun carrying up stairs, Noisy

...About 6 months ago I brought a Bissell 6594E vacuum. Thought about getting a dyson but after seeing the price I brought one of these instead. I was a bit unsure when I first saw the Bissell because it's not a manfacturer that I was acquainted with. If like me your wondering about 'Bissells' credentials and heritage here's a bit about the founders of the company, Ana and Melville Bissell. The story of Bissell In 1872 and Ana and Melville were running a crockery shop in michigan, USA. The crockery came packed in crates of sawdust and it was Ana's frustration with the sweeping up of that sawdust that caused Melville to invent a carpet cleaner device. The first 'Bissell' factory was opened in 1883. On Melville's death, Anna Bissell took control of the expanding bissell business, becoming one of America's first female corporate...

Bissell 3750 bagless upright vacuum cleaner

Advantages: Excellent suction, ease of use, quick emptying dust container, switch brushes on or off easily
Disadvantages: Heavy when complete unit, short hose

...I purchased this vacuum from a local retailer on their recommendation and have been thoroughly pleased with my purchase. After having a well known bagless cleaner previously but not able to afford to replace with the same I considered other options with the thought that a less expensive cleaner would mean compromising in some way. I have found this cleaner to be wonderful. We have two long haired dogs but the cleaner picks up with ease. There is a switch on top of the main body of the machine so easily in reach during cleaning which allows for easy on off control of the brushes for changes in floor surfaces. I originall wondered if the capacity of the dust collection compartment would become a pain as it appeared quite small but again i have been pleasantly surprised to find that with it's simple release i actually don't find it...

Bex Bissell carpet washer

Advantages: Really deep cleans and deodorises carpet
Disadvantages: Machine is heavy if you have to lift it

...I have had my Bex Bissell carpet washer for six months and it is very difficult to describe how good it really is. I have two big dogs ( dobermans), hence eight muddy feet, plus my husband ( I often think he must have eight muddy feet as well, the mess he makes and although I have stone floors in the utility areas to 'save' my carpets, they do get really soiled on occasion. Hiring a carpet cleaner I have done this several times and the machines have been fine, but they do not dry the carpets enough, and they are quite expensive. (£45 a day, plus the costs of the shampoo and defoamer). The Bex Bissell This is an upright machine and it looks like a slightly bigger than average upright vacuum cleaner. It is very simple to use - warm/hot water goes into a bucket with handle which you get to by releasing the handle...

Bissell Proheat Takes the strain and the stain!

Advantages: Works very well on your floors
Disadvantages: None noticed

...quickly. True, some chemical cleaners leave your carpets perfectly dry, but why risk using potentially harmful chemicals when you can use a safer water-based system such as employed in the Bissell machine? The ProHeat II also has some other very impressive features. For example, if you have a high traffic area of carpet (hallway, etc.,) the system automatically adjusts the amounts of water and cleaning fluid that is calculated to do the job efficiently. And I have to report that this idea does work very well indeed. The instruction booklet also contains useful hints and tips. For example it points out ways owners of Berber carpets can reduce the wear caused by vacuuming or carpet cleaning. The Bissell ProHeat II comes complete with a TurboBrush which is used for cleaning stains and marks on carpets. The machine also comes with special...

Review of Bissell PRO HEAT

Carpets are cleaner and fresher with a Bissell

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: no problems as yet

...releases the clean warm water, which systematically mixes with the cleaning solution and down onto your carpets, the brushes then help to lather it up and work deep onto the carpet. These are two heavy duty power brushes on the underside, with 12 brush rows for lifting the most stubborn of dirt, the head is also shaped well, so you get a real close clean right to the very edge of your walls or skirting boards. The strong vacuum then sucks up the dirty water back into the outer container, to be tipped away at your leisure. This does take a little practise, working out how much fluid to release, and how much time you need to suck the dirty water up, as to not leave the carpets to damp. It also comes with a hand held power head cleaner, for ease of reaching the awkward places, also ideal for quickly cleaning up any marks of fabric coated...

Review of Bissell 9400E

Bissell say WE MEAN CLEAN and I agree with them.

Advantages: Clean carpets and furnishing
Disadvantages: Heavy and cannot be used on hardwood floors.

...and could not be used as a vacuum cleaner. The cost of replacing furniture or getting professionals in would work out costlier in the long run, so it eventually became an easy choice. I bought it from Comet and paid £197.95 although it came with a bottle of cleaning solution they call it fibre cleansing formula. I bought another bottle for £6.99. When I took it to the car, the first thing that struck me is the overall weight, it?s very heavy. I thought its this heavy and that is before it is full of water. When I got it home, I unpacked the box I had in front of me a host of tools, a 950 ml bottle of fibre cleansing formula, the cleaner itself (in two separate parts), two screws, two nuts and bolts, a spare drive belt, a turbobrush instruction sheet, an optional low cost five year breakdown plan and the user guide. After having a cuppa...

Review of Bissell 1698

Using the Bissell Lift Off.

Advantages: Good on carpets and hard floors.
Disadvantages: Heavy to carry upstairs as a complete unit.

...The Bissell Lift Off is easy to use.Power switch & brush switch easily located at the base of the handle.The brush switch turns the rotating brush on/off.ON for normal carpet cleaning.OFF for bare floor cleaning or other delicate surfaces.There is also a power hight adjustment setting for bare floors,short & medium pile carpets & plush pile carpets.The adjustment knob is at the base of the cleaner.The tools are stored at the back of the cleaner (except for one attachment?).The tools can be used with the vacuum in the upright position or with the detachable cylinder. I find the Bissell Lift Off to be a great purchase.Glides over wooden floors & carpets with plenty of suction.If your like me with wooden floors & carpets it's just a flick of a switch as you go from room to room. Good length on cord.Easy to empty dirt container...

Hoover

Advantages: all of it
Disadvantages: none

...My mum owns her own cleaning company so for christmas last year i purchased this hoover for her. She's never looked back. Uses it everywhere she goes, getting the job done to the highest standard possible. Her clients all compliment her on her standards of cleaning, some of which have even purchased the hoover for some of their family members. It is always good for those who suffer from any form of allergies, as it has a filtration system designed within the hoover. It is stylish for even those modern folk amongst us and those who like to have the latest gadgets. It is lightweight therefore, easy for even those less capable. No fussing around with changing the hoover bag as this hoover is bagless! The price i bought this for is £199 from tesco, bonus for this was i also got 199 clubcard points!also got a years...
