BISSELL Revolution HydroSteam Pet Carpet Cleaner, 3432

I have had multiple carpet cleaners that are supposed to remove pet hair before. It is a history of trauma and difficulty, poor carpet cleaner performance. I am glad to say that this carpet cleaner assembles very easily- just a few pieces to snap in and youre done! I filled the tank with water and solution and turned it on. And.......nothing happened. It wouldnt turn on. The instructions that came with the carpet cleaner didnt help, so I went searching on the internet. The suggestion that worked is if where you are plugging it in has a circuit breaker, you might need to flip it. I live in an older house that does have a red button to flip the circuit breaker, and once I hit the red button it started. What a relief! The plug requires a properly grounded three prong outlet. I would suggest that Bissell include this suggestion in their instruction manuals. The carpet cleaner did a great job lifting out dirt and grime, and well.... pee. I have enclosed before and after photographs of my carpet, and a photograph of the machine showing some of the grime that was lifted out. I know this machine is designed to lift out and clean out pet pee, but there are millions of us who are caretakers of elderly folks who have catheters. It is really easy to accidently open the valve of the catheter bag and get pee on the rug. I dont care what I have taken to the carpet to clean it up, I still end up with the scent of old pee near moms bed. (This, no doubt, is one of the many reasons that hospitals do not have carpets under patient beds!) This machine did an excellent job of cleaning up human pee in the carpet, and leaving the room fresh and clean smelling. The carpet cleaner comes with a couple of attachments. (I plan to use one of those attachments to clean the stairs.) There is a picture included of the two attachments and another picture of the bag the hose comes in. The attachments fit in the bag with the hose for storage. There is also a picture of the two kinds of cleaning solution included. When you need more cleaning solution I noted that Amazon sells the Pet Multi-source 64 ox cleaner for $17.05 and the Bissell Professional Pet Urine Cleaner 48 oz for $23.99 at the time of this writing. (5/3/2023). There are also some videos about this carpet cleaner on YouTube. I watched one that showed the presenter unboxing and using the carpet cleaner. It was helpful. You might want to check those out. Finally, Bissell notes on the box and on the instruction manual (photograph of this message on the box enclosed) that they have a Bissell Pet Foundation. I went to the web page for the foundation (BISSELLsavespets.com) and found that they state that they have done a lot of really good work in support of our furry friends. I am really pleased that after using the cleaning solution in the carpet cleaner there is no cleaning solution smell in the house. I am really pleased it does a great job cleaning pee out of the carpet. I am really pleased that it was easy to assemble to use (and I am a senior citizen doing these things). Highly recommended. This carpet cleaner is actually going to improve our quality of life at home. I am really grateful to have it.

It does a good job on beige carpets along with Bissell Spot Remover.

Important things to note: • Handheld attachments cant use steam • Wont make old carpets look brand new • Uses tap water to fill • Great at removing allergens • Handling and assembly is easy • Top comes off the dirty water tank making it easy to clean The handheld attachments can be used to vacuum up wet and dry messes. Steam does not flow through the hose. The long hose attachment would be great for carpeted stairs. It definitely can help lighten old stains on carpet, just dont expect perfection if its a really old stain. I used it on a 4+ year old soda stain and it definitely helped lighten it up and made it way less noticeable. The steam pre-treat was exceptionally helpful in removing/lightening stained areas. There was an area in front of my entertainment center where my dog had peed multiple times. I used the quick dry mode in this area. It made a noticeable difference. The carpet dried quickly. For the rest of the carpet, it does very well to help remove allergens and to really get a deep clean into the carpet. Great item for anyone that suffers from allergies and/or has pets that tend to leave messes behind.

First, trying to troubleshoot was a pain in the butt, I usde the QR code, and I got another ad. Finally able to get to a chat and half hour later the response I got was here’s your local repair shop since it’s under warranty… WTF?!? I don’t have time to screw with this, I have a new rescue puppy who isn’t housebroken. So much for being so supportive. Returning to Amazon, much faster than dealing with Bissell.

I got this mainly to steam clean some large area rugs that I have. I was thinking about having them professionally cleaned, but now I can do it myself. This doesnt work on silk or delicate rugs, and the instruction manual says to check the manufacturers tag and testing for colorfastness before cleaning. What I found disappointing was that the hose and tool dont use steam, because I would also have liked to steam clean my couch and upholstered chairs. I want sure whether or not I could also use it on my tile floors, but after researching that, it seems like a bad idea. I probably should have considered a multi-surface model, but I do like the Hydrosteam feature and that cleaner can be used.

I absolutely love this BISSELL Revolution carpet cleaner. Simple to assemble right out of the box. First used this on the bedroom rugs and impressed with how well this carpet cleaner did and how much dirt was pulled from the carpet. I definitely needed a pet carpet cleaner as I have three dogs and mistakes happen on the carpets. The carpet smells so fresh now. Used the cleaner also on living room sofa and chair and worked great on them also. Long cord is definitely a bonus for me. So simple to use and a fantastic cleaning machine.

The steam does not work. I’m disappointed as this is the feature I was most looking forward to. In addition, there is no rinse feature so the soapy water residue stays on the carpet. I expected better.

The suction power is very low, can not pick up too many dirt on the carpet. The steam function is fancy, but not worth the price.

The pros-- it is super easy to put together and get started using it. It has everything you need included in the box. It even has 2 different kinds of cleaning fluid. The pet upholstery tool works really well. It is easy to clean the tools and the tanks. The cord is nice and long so you can really use it just about anywhere. The hose is also nice and long and seems like good quality material. The cons-- it has no holder for the accesories. Just the bag for the hose, and I guess they expect you to put everything in the bag. I feel like it would be better to have a place to clip them on the unit itself. The pet upholstery tool does not have steam capability which is kind of a big deal to me. If Im spot cleaning messes like that I think the steam is really necessary and I was surprised to find that it doesnt steam. Really disappointed in that. Overall, it is a decent unit. The cleaner worked well and it cleaned the areas I needed to clean; albeit without steam...

I was excited to use on my almost new carpet that had something spilled on it. The spot came out, but the machine matted my carpet. The steam feature is also pretty lame.
