The issue here is that cars/vehicles are heavy and more often then not, they're not driving in the living room. Spills from the kids, dropping food, dog stains and odor etc. those types of things might be a more realistic test of how well these machines perform. Although, next time a jeep drives through my living room and drags in the mud, this is the first video I'll turn to.

They missed something important...how easy is it to clean the vacuums after.

Oh my goodness!! I love this video! I have the Bissell Revolution Pet Pro! ❤️🔥

I have the same Bissell and if it’s in the upright position the brushes still spin, but they automatically lift up off the carpet. When you press the foot lever to shampoo the carpet they lower again

The most entraining review I’ve watched so far!

I love this. Made my shopping very easy 👍👍

It was really helpful, thank you.

Seriously I’m so glad this is back on love it.

That was an awesome video. Thank you. Now I know which to pick.😊

Fun video. Very nice. RE the Bissell rollers spinning while using the hand tool, did you lock the main vac upright? If it was not locked upright the rollers will spin. Also next time with the test, just a thought, start from an edge and work in a few feet (ok a meter for the Euro bunch). That way the difference is easily distinguishable. Also finally what cleaning setting did you set the on? I don't know if the Vax has that but the Bissell has 3 settings each using progressively more detergent.

i was about to buy a VAX until i saw this. Thanks for the impartial review

I love this machine. Its amazing. Bissell cleaner is amazing. Easy to use!!

I just looking for a new carpet cleaner from these two models. Thanks for the video. It’s really helpful! ❤

3:53 - why he look at the camera like that after saying that phrase 💀🤣

The “cleaning” part is more about the detergent than the machine to be honest

It would have been interesting to see how they compare to the ones you can hire at supermarkets

7:19 the active brush is not touching the carpet. the brush elevate when it is upright

I was hoping the vac would win, then realised this test isn’t quite fair, look at the speed both of them were cleaning the stains, she was going way faster with the vax one, he pretty much stood still with the cleaner on the stain.. it was bound to get more up, I thought someone else in the comments would of noticed this too

I would have liked to see what happens if they use each others cleaning solution/spray??

The white lab coats make all the difference. 😂

Just a note when you use the attachment hose on the Bissell with the machine locked in the fully upright position the floor brushes still spin, "but" both the arms that hold them and press them down into the carpet , are lifted holding the rotating brushes up off the carpet when the machine handle is fully upright. of important note The Bissell with its three position solution switch set on max , blasts down solution like a fire hose. put down more solution you can extract more dirt ,, soak the carpet with the same amount of solution and the Vax would probably clean better as well, one should also note how good the machines are at recovering the solution after putting it down, and you never used the bissells Clean Shot" spot treat" feature that lets you soak a stain with solution..

How has the Bissell got a 3 meter hose when they only come with a 2.1 meter hose as standard?

It’s worth noting that the Vax was using the auto mix for the solution. I believe you can just put the detergent into the clean water tank. Also the Bissel trigger was pressed on the backwards stroke so thus meaning more solution went down. Producing more effective cleaning. The other variable was the detergent. Personally both should have the same detergent as when you run out of vax or bissel solution most people will just buy any. However it proves that the sensors on the vax are useless and far better to go manual route.

I would like to see professional prespray like saigers code red and real agitation prior to using either vac to see how it rinses out….

Have had both bissell and vax. Have a vax at the moment it’s around 7 years old but I did prefer my old bissell. Will definitely be getting a bissell when my vax gives up the ghost.

Hey thanks.

Thanks Gadget Show. You've saved me the disappointment of wasting money on either of these lacklustre machines.

Did you use the same detergent on both machines? Or could that be the difference in cleaning performance?

I had a Bissel - that was forever having to be sent back to the manufacturers - it was specifically for pets but didn’t like dog fur (yes I always vacuumed first) Now have a Vax which I find is far superior.

Always finish on a dry stroke 🙂

Bissell carpet cleaner, instead of reducing my workload, creates additional work. It does a decent job washing and pulling the water back. However, I've noticed that it scatters lint, hair, etc., all over the carpet. I had to follow up my carpet wash with a thorough vacuum using another machine, as this one hesitates to pick up the thrown-out stuffs.

There are two things which are most important, getting water into the vac and getting dirty water out. The Bissel needs a funnel to get water into the tiny 3/4" hole in the fresh water tank. It's not hard to design a larger lid and yet Bissel chose not to. The dirty water tank is even worse with a single cheap rubber flap. It looks like the tank was installed and then just before shipping them out someone said "oh crap we forgot to put a lid on it. Does someone have an old bicycle inner tube we can cut up and stick on there? The reviewers won't notice." Spend a few extra bucks. Get something with better quality.

They should get a third carpet with a pro doing it

Hoover is called Vax in the UK?

Love the goggles

There’s a new kid on the block in Smart carpet cleaner - Timeco Smart One Pro. It would be good to see how this new Smart carpet cleaner compares to the Bissell.

Great video but could help but feel like the guy was doing a better job of cleaning and going slower over the marks, so would get better result.

Having two different people cleaning with one going slower then the other would not make this a fair review

Only mud!!! Need various different stains

I LOVE my Bissell.

Should test with puppy diareah

“She’s coming “😊

Mud isn’t what most stains are, it’s usually wine and food.

Most of the videos I watch the Bissell wins, not sure if it’s the cleaning solution or the machine 🤷🏼‍♀️

Doesn’t it matter what detergent is used ❓🤷🏻

probably hire a school football team to run over both carpets with muddy boots haha

It’s ok cleaning mud. Do curry or spag bol. Horrible foods that really stain.

Just cancelled my Vax order. Surprised at how much better the Bissell performed in this one.

There's loads of local building hire professional carpet cleaners now karcher puzzi looks far better and most expensive with 30w power head.

Wish I'd bought the Bissell now, oh dear

this is not a good test, as it is very entertaining seeing the 2 side by side cleaning an testing machine against machine but in reality the test was the person more than the machine as it was very clear the guy was a better cleaner. the better test would of been one person using 1 machine on one rug an the other machine on the other rug.. but still love the video an give it a 👍👍👍

To be honest it wasn't exactly the greatest side by side comparison.

Safety googles work best on your head

The VAX is just a literal Hoover SmartWash but with a different brand name.

I think the person using Bissell has better cleaning skills. My experience with VAX is very satisfying with savings in the solution used.

Wouldn’t use either bissel or Vax never rated them

1:18 Lady: how long is yours? Guy: skip

Bissol the daddy !!!!

The bissell cleans better because it uses way more water and it uses a superior formula. If you use the bissell formula in the Vax (hoover) you'd get closer results. The Vax mixes the formula with water as you go - less waste, less error on ratios. The Vax has superior suction / drying which is critical. The bissell takes forever to dry. None of these can replace a professional cleaning service but for the occasional maintenance cleaning - the Vax would be a better choice.

Compared to a month of people walking around with shoes covered in very fine road and city dust, those carpets aren't dirty at all. Mud is mainly larger grains and soft organics, and a few passes of wheels isn't going to grind it in down to the base of the fibres.

I bought the bissell from the bissell outlet store that was far cheaper and in new condition

I'm not too impressed with the test. The Bissell used twice as much detergent, which is the cleaning agent.

One failed more than the other. But they both failed to clean thoroughly.

Love this video! Y'all are so entertaining !! 😂 Convinced me to buy the Bissell. 👍

I never finish on a dry stroke.

I know that you can handle puppy method, but not puppy poop only puppy pee

I bought the bissell pet pro and the stair tool is absolutely amazing it’s got a curved edge brush just for the nose of the stairs. Also love the upholstery brush for my mattress. They really should of mentioned how incredibly loud the machine is, I’d advise wearing ear protectors or listening to music. It’s very easy to clean out as it comes with a tool that you use to scrap the debris out and on the other end a little comb to brush debris from the bristles.

How about you guys just take off the shoes while cleaning?

Was this sponsored by Bissel?

Ive a Bissel and broke after 2 years of twice a year carpet cleaning, annual upholstry and car seats 3 x year. Do I buy another ? Nope bought the Shark ... very impressed

The Tractor wins

It should be noted that the Vax can be had for £150 and the Bissell is £300 - thats actually quite important!

The stupidity of deep cleaning a carpet with SHOES on! Logic?

If you want legit reviews of these go to vacuum wars channel.

Vax is owned by an company in Hong Kong. Bissell is an American company. Guess which one I’d buy.

The Gadget Show : Dear researchers can I have a job as well please. Your guys informed the audience about the wrong specs for the Poco M4 the new one that is out this month is 4G and not 5G. The 5G model released in the UK in November last year, this released two weeks ago in the UK. With 4G and the G96 . Perhaps hire people who know Chinese brands in far greater detail. xoxoxo

Just do not buying.It s really really noisy!!!!In 20 minutes the police are at the door.

My God what a load of rubbish whos carpets get that dirty

My good these machines are slow! I can’t believe how little they did in 40 minutes! These are real toys! Not serious machines.

Why are all the gadget tests so poor.

傻逼穿個白大褂冒充科學家

As an ex carpet cleaner I can tell you this... Both are terrible. They also make carpet cleaners plenty of money through out the year as Carpet Cleaners are often called out to people who over wet their own carpets which causes a foul odour in the house. Also, because you put the product in the rinse tank your carpet are left with product in which mean they suffer from 'Rapid Resoiling' meaning they get dirtier quicker.

How to get to heaven❤️: We've all sinned and if God gave us justice we would end up in hell but we have a way to escape this punishment because of what Jesus did on the cross: 1- Believe that Jesus is God who died on the cross for our sins and rose again 2-Know that you are a sinner in need of a saviour and can't get to heaven by doing good or by any religious works 3- Turn from sin and obey God out of love for God and truly love everyone (reading the Bible will help a lot)

Just not have Carpets, the problem is, this is not the best solution, we the time, you need to change the carpet, with all this water, I have wood-floors and save the money on this, use some rugs, Nope, I have heating under the floors, done, LOL hahah
