Bissell 7950 ProHeat Upright Wet/Dry Vacuum

Pros: Deep cleans very well, well thought out machine, tools that work, ease of use
Cons: None that jump out

I have a lot of love for Roomba, but also felt that we needed a powerful vacuum for jobs like the one we completed today; cleaning up after taking out the Christmas tree. I was right and glad that we had made the purchase when we moved into our new ...

Pros: Good cleaning, self propelled, ease of use, heated cleaning, good manual
Cons: Small tank, no auto rinse, heavy

I felt compelled to write a review of the Bissell 7950 ProHeat Self Propelled Steam Cleaner after using it for the first time. If you have pets, then a steam cleaner is a must-have. If you're in the market for a steam cleaner, this is one you should ...

Pros: Cleans excellent, runs smoothly, long hose and nice to use attachments.
Cons: Heavy, small tank, expensive (yet worth it), and hard to clean the machine after use.

I purchased this and was very happy in the beginning with its cleaning ability. After about 30 days of use, it stopped mixing the solution and water and only used the solution. No matter what I did to fix it, it wouldn't work properly. I ended up ...

Pros: Well built, long cord.
Cons: Poor cleaning compared to Hoover.

I purchased the Bissell about 10 months ago to cleanup spit up from our newborn. I was fairly happy with it in the beginning, because up until then, the only carpet cleaning I had done was with the cheesy Resolve powder. Compared to that, the Bissell ...

Pros: Cleans like a dream when NEW.
Cons: After six months, a NIGHTMARE of continual soap clogging problems, reflecting serious design flaws.

This machine worked like a dream... for the first THREE MONTHS only. After that, the hoses began clogging regularly and it was only with great frustration that we were able to use it at all. We used only the recommended Bissell cleaning products too. ...

Pros: Cleaned well the first few times we used it.
Cons: Machine regularly fails to disperse water and detergent; Poor design for tool attachment.

When we first got our Bissell Pro-Heat, I was pretty happy with the results. It didn't take too many uses though, before it degraded to the point of becoming curb-side garbage. It really became more of a hassle than a help, and the last time I used it ...

Pros: Cleans good,fairly easy to use
Cons: Poor construction

For being so flimsily manufactured this unit works well--at first!When the handle would no longer lock up I checked and found that the screw was stripped. No wonder--a screw will only hold in soft plastic for a short time. This unit is manufactured like a cheap toy, once you disassemble it for any repairs you are in trouble! I found other screws which had cracked through the thin plastic when I took it apart for repair. I had to put washers on longer screws to get it to hold together. Upon reassembling I found that the
sprayer no longer worked--no matter what I tried.
I bought this product because I remember using good Bissell products years ago with good results, now they are in the cheap seats at box seat prices.
