 Really cleans stains February 10, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I had coffee and pet stains in my studio kitchen area which I have tried to remove for quite a while. There was always a color stain left after cleaning with my old cleaner. The 2X clean the color stains and my cream rug is clean again. It is a bit heavy but manageable.

 What a Mistake ! January 30, 2008

We owned two prior Bissell machines, both of which cleaned quite well; however, neither lasted more than a couple of years. Repairs would cost a substantial part of the replacement price of a new cleaner,so we decided to try one more Bissell upright deep cleaner purchase, the Bissell Pro Heat 2x CleanShot. Oh how we regret that decision!!
It is now almost 2:30 PM, and we have been attempting to use the machine to clean carpeted stairs, two area rugs and a 21 foot by 13 foot wall to wall living room carpet since 9 AM. It is a painfully slow, tedious, annoying process.
The stair attachment does not have enough suction to get any substantial water and soil out of the carpet, so, basically, a person is left with dirty wet stairs.
We were able to get a lot of dirt out of the area rugs, but certainly NOT with one pass while dispensing liquid and cleaning solution, as the directions suggest. If you follow this suggestion, you will be left with filthy rugs, unless they were already clean when you started!
Additionally, the machine will only operate for about three minutes before it stops dispensing liquid and indicates that it is full. It was immediately apparent, that when the dirty water is emptied, there is much less liquid than the bladder originally held, leaving a lot of water, dirt and detergent in the rug. We have had to pour out small quantities of dirty water so many times that we have lost count!
We spent a lot of time going over the carpeting without dispensing water and liquid to try to get more moisture up, with only modest success. Our prior Bissell, the 9400 model did a much better job of picking up most of the water, dirt and cleaning solution initially with only a couple of passes, leaving the carpet quite dry. This resulted in short additional drying time before furniture could be replaced and the room used, and carpeting was never damaged.
The biggest problem using the 9500 Pro Heat 2x has occurred in the living room where there is wall to wall carpet. Because the machine does not effectively remove liquid and the side heating vent does not produce any meaningful heat, the carpet has stretched and is drying with waves and ripples throughout. This NEVER happened in 10 previous years of cleaning this carpet with the other Bissell machines we owned. We now are faced with a big expense to have a professional come to open the seams and attempt to removed the wrinkles.
Bissel would no doubt say that we got the carpet too wet; however, given the design flaws with the machine, we had no choice but to make several passes over various areas, unless we wanted to end up with a carpet that was still dirty.
We are now thinking seriously about having the older Bissell 9400 model repaired. It is not without its problems (dirty water still has to be emptied often, but not nearly as frequently as with the Pro Heat 2x), but it certainly cleans and picks up moisture far better than the Pro Heat 2x.
We do not recommend buying the Bissell Pro Heat 2xCleanShot Upright Deep Cleaner.
My wife loves the Bissell Proheat 9500 January 24, 2008

We finally bought our own shampooer. My wife loves it.
PROS:
- Works very well
- The machine cleans up easily with just soap and clean water. The nozzle just snaps in, no screws to unscrew. The clear water bladder easily unhooks for clean up.
- Separate clean and dirty water tanks. But because they are located in one compartment, they are easily filled and emptied.
- Carrying handle
- The detergent is in its own compartment. When you have some left over, just keep until the next time you use the Bissell.
- The color is not as bright as it looks on the photos. We like it.
- Attachment storage is clever and nothing falls off when shampooing.
- Power cord is extra long and very sturdy.
- EASY to assemble
- Like the CleanShot feature better than we thought
CONS:
- Only one: The side brushes are tedious to clean very well, especially the side the CleanShot is on.
We highly recommend the Bissell Proheat 9500. My wife had borrowed other brands from her friends, but this one was the easiest to use and clean.
 Happy with my purchase January 20, 2008

I read lots of reviews, trying to decide on a deep cleaner that would replace my "Little Green Clean Machine". I decided on the Bissell 9500 mostly because of the "water heating" feature, which other machines didn't have.
It was easy to put together, it feels quite sturdy (even though it's mostly plastic parts). I dont feel that it's too heavy to bring up and down stairs.
I think the clean water bladder/dirty water resevoir being in the same place is genious! I'm not so sure about the water heating feature... it certainly doesn't heat the water in the clean water resevoir, so I think the heater is a metal plate on the bottom of the cleaner that comes in contact with the carpet and warms discharged water... not 100% sure about that techincal fact though, so don't take that as the truth.
Just like vacuuming, deep carpet cleaning is not a fast/speedy process. Slow movements with both types of machines is required for thorough cleaning. And when you think you've done it long enough to clean the dirt out of your carpets, do it for another 5 minutes in the same spot, and THEN you will have made progress!
The "solution shot" button is too easy access and to press, so be aware of that. I am happy with my purchase, and would recommend this cleaner.

I ordered this machine as our dogs had a few accidents and our other steam cleaner had broken.
It came very fast and it looked exactly as pictured. It worked great - my husband put it together very quickly and in no time the carpet was clean.
It got out every stain and the carpet looks like new! What a great job it did! I certainly recomment it.
