Mine’s 10 years old and still works. For those who can’t get water to come out the bottom - it needs a thorough clean with a needle through the ports at that point. Once it’s ungummed and you can use it again, run 2 tanks of plain hot water through it into the bathtub after every use. It cleans all the ports so it’s perfectly clean for next use.

Had similar problem after lending too a friend. I emailed Bissell, received a timely response with instructions on how to troubleshoot/fix. Since I didn't have the time, I took to a local repair shop and they got it working like new. I've had my Bissell about 15yrs and still loving it.

Hello everyone! I just used it today and it does work! The man in this video is giving us the wrong directions! You are supposed to HOLD the trigger while pushing to let out the cleaning solution and RELEASE when pulling away to that the heat can dry the clean area you just covered. Do it this way and it should work :)

I had mine for years.Made it through many uses and 2 puppies at different times. Never had an issue at all. I gave it away at one point and now I have went and bought another one. Great product for the money. Just follow the directions and carpets will look great.Make sure you take care of it.Clean the brushes and rinse it out really well. It should last a long time.

I'm glad I found this video because I have been using my bissel wrong since I bought it

I wish I could find this exact one again. Mine was broken during a move and this was the best carpet cleaner I have ever owned.

Great info video and also great little machine to use

2020 viswo is perfect Darla, I like it better than a professional video. got it done

I love my pro heat bissell ❤️

What is the model number for this cleaner?The clear plastic shield that sucks the water up broke and I need a new one but cant fnd the model number?!?!

how do you clean the machine?

I have had mine for years & it works great even today. Not sure why many of yours don't work? Not cleaning it properly after use maybe?

Oh Yeah, let's go time to start cleaning my damn carpet!

I purchased mine from a pawn shop, and I've had no trouble with mine, thank God. I just keep it clean from all the dog hair. I think it works pretty good for me to get it from the pawn shop. Not sure how long it's gonna hold up. So far so good.

This video is great but you left out where to find the power button the machine. Probly an important thing to include

I can't figure out why it won't dispense the water from the bottom 😢

Some video say you push the spray button when you go forward?

this product works pretty good the water tank could be a little bigger tho.

This machine works very well. Once. Then it doesn't suck or spray water. Need to fix this.

Got the same one does good

How much water do I put in the water tank. There's no fill line that I can see??

I have an older model with a round red slot that says filter which lies under where you place water tank: is this to clean an internal filter? 2. lost suction while cleaning carpet any idea as to what I may have done. Thank you in advance for reviewing my concerns. Mary

thanks!

I am using a friends machine, never used before, few years old...missing attachments but not my big concern...The bristles DO NOT ROTATE @ ALL..But it does clean the rug...Would do it quicker if they worked...Any Help ??? Thanks Rob

Mine still works great! I guess I got lucky.

How do I purchase a seal Mine stop sucking and I can see it won’t seal tight

this is funny... I am trying to figure out how to fix my Bissell Pro Heat as it no longer sucks up water, and look what I came across. It appears Im not the only one with issues concerning this product. I wonder if Bissell checks this page and ever reaches out to its customers with a solution or assistance or even a "Hey sorry I know the product sucks" lol I suppoe I should have done my research before buying one. There are alot of sites with people like us. Thanks Bissel

I've still got mine😀

how do I take the top apart to clean the brushes

I have the same model but suddenly it doesn't suck the water from the floor or carpet what is the problem?? & What is the solution?

All replies from people that didn't read the instructions first. Classic.

good morning, my brush on my bissell cleaner is not pulling back so freely and I have only used it four times. What am I doing wrong. When I pull back it feels like its skipping or dragging. Help!!!! PLEASE I dont want to break it. I cannot afford a new one.

How do I clean the suction out from the dirt so it will suck again, i always vacuum first but get dirt in the part on top where you turn the dial?

OMG you guys are soo right-what a piece of crap- we should do a class action suit!

The best thing for this unit to prevent problems is not to use Bissell cleaning solution. Mine jammed up. The service place I took it to said to stay away from it. I bought a different one from them and VOILA, no more jam ups. That was over a year ago.

فين احصل مثل هذه في جدة

is this the 8910 model?

I really like the girl in this video. Maybe one day I can meet her. I wish. The music makes this very enjoyable to watch too.

How do you connect the hose

Can I clean my sofa also?

in the water tank. There is this red plastic thing...what the heck is it for? I've tried placing it in the tank a bunch of different ways. Its a red plastic thing in a weird shape. Not very long. It some how got dislodged to its proper place where it should be. Its almost in the shape of an 'L' and looks quite wonky.

Anyone here know how to get the spray from the bottom to work? Mine has stopped and yes it was AFTER I bought Bissell solutions. Every DIY video is for the older machines and not this one.

I wrote the company and they said they would contact me back with in 24 hours well it has passed and not a word from the company. I figured it

It put water and solution into the carpet just fine. However it didn't suck it up well, leaving me with a very wet carpet of dirty water. Not much water left in the tank and it was dirty. Also it left a dirty mark every time I paused. I think a cleaner with separate clean water and dirty water tanks would be much better. Not pleased with this cleaner.

Just let anyone know that it is 2020 and my machine is about 3 years old and I am having problems with water flowing and cleaning carpet I am came You Tube to get some ideas but...I understand. A dysfunctional shampoo machine.

How do you turn it on

Brush want turn

**ATTENTION ATTENTION*** TO ALL THOSE WHO ALWAYS ASK HOW TO CLEAN OUT THE DOG HAIR THAT IS COLLECTED WHEN SHAMPOOING(YES EVEN AFTER VIGOROUSLY VACUUMING PRYOR) Please read below for the EASIEST AND HONESTLY ONLY SOLUTION there should be for this issue. Thanks and hope it helps. I realize this is a reply to an OLD POSTED QUESTION. But just in case people are curious as to clean out the hair that gets collected over time(Yes there is still hair even if you vacuum VERY VERY WELL) anyways if your shampooing machine didn’t come with a long this device(Kinda like a ruler) then try and find and use something similar in thickness and flexible. Then all you need to do is lightly run water in the slot while sliding that thin device collecting all the hair until it is all gone and back to normal. I hope this resolved everyone’s (HOW DO I CLEAN THE (VACUUM/SUCTION OUTER PLASTIC PIECE OF ALL THE HAIR) Questions that I always see in these residential style shampooers.

I've used this no more than 3 times and now the water dispenser is not working. :-(

I don't just use bissell cleaner

can you buy belts for bissell shampooer proheat/

Troubleshooting steam not

I don't see any water getting to my carpet, so I'm thinking it might be wasted money.

I use it today it does not clean al all.

I would not buy a Bissell again. After only a 1 1/2 yrs use the water will not spray out of the unit Bad product

bought this 2 yrs ago and it worked the first 2 times we used it.....the last 3 times we TRIED to use it, it wouldn't release water. Huge disappointment; will think before buying a Bissell product again.

I've used a bissel for the last 3 years would not by any other brand only thing I dont like about this machine that I let my family go to the beach why I stay home an clean carpet

don't worry about a thing bud. I blocked him

Ewww what's up with all these nasty people dumping out the dirty water in the kitchen sink

I used mine twice and it died . POS

Goes both ways. You will get banned too. Look at all your comments. lol

Bissei pro heat is junk

worse product ever spent my $ on

Thing is a piece of shit. Ive only used it once or twice and it has stopped working all together. Im about to haul it out to the curb.

Do not buy!!! Save your money and rent a machine.
