Absolutely do not buy this product or any products from this brand. This brand is a classic Case of when the warranty runs out. The product fails and… Read more

they’re unwilling to stand behind it. We bought this machine a couple of years ago which is only been used a handful of times. I would say maybe seven times in the past three years. Was using it one day to clean a spot on a carpet and then developed a burning smell. The process with customer service was an absolute nightmare. We had to send the product back to the warehouse which was not in the same state. They only offered to send the product through Australia Post which however do not take products this heavy or this size at most locations, I asked the team at Bissell to give me a different courier company however they refused The product was sent and apparently repaired by them. Once they told me the product was on its way back to me. They never advise what was wrong with it. I asked multiple times in emails if they could tell me what was wrong with the machine and they ignored the question every single time or gave me a very vague response. I have now gone to use the product after receiving it back and after 20 minutes of a light spot clean on a sofa the machine stop spraying. I followed all instructions on their website. Ended up calling customer service for where they told me to take the plate off and view the belt. The belt has now come off it track and is split causing black debris to be all through the machine. Considering this machine has not been used since been in their repair, it is very disappointing. Customer service was only willing to offer me as a goodwill gesture a replacement belt or at my own cost to have it repaired by them, including having to ship a heavy product back to their warehouse which would just be unfeasible. I said as this product has literally just been in their maintenance team. This issue should not have happened. They are unwilling to come to the party or help in anyway. Besides sending a replacement belt. Product is obviously faulty. They are not willing to divulge what was wrong with the machine obviously there is a known error that they are aware of and not willing to stand behind their product. I am very disappointed in this brand as I thought this brand was a good brand. Do yourself a favour and do not pick yourself up anything from this. It is not worth the hassle or your time. Buy a different brand entirely.

A Defib for Dirty Sofas 4720P – When you purchase an upholstery cleaner, you have dreams and aspirations that it will perform miracles. Deep down you dread that you've wasted your… Read more

hard earned money on something that gets used once in every lifetime. So that time had come.

Our good quality lounge has reached 20 years of age and is still going strong. It lived through the kids growing up and more recently the onslaught of dog children, but has succumbed to excessive dog slobber. So these stains have been adding up over the 20 year period to a point where they have become fossilised into the fabric, or so it would seem. So I spent a week investigating different brands and decided on the Bissell Spotclean Professional (4720P). I decided against going for the higher up model as I just wanted it for sofa cleaning and I did not need the extra power for shag pile carpet.

The results from just one clean have blown me away. I really didn't expect results this good from a little machine. It has literally brought the sofa back to life and good for another 10 years. I have attached photos of the before and after which speak for themselves.

The engineering and build quality of the system is very good. The process for cleaning is pretty simple. There's an inbuilt warmer for the cleaning solution that works just fine. And the final results are plain to see when you look at the black death syrup which has been extracted and dumped into the onboard waste container.

So this system works fine on sofas and short carpet. The hose length is short, but if it was longer I believe you would lose some of the suction power. For the results that I got, I can live with a short hose.

So from me it gets 4.5 stars. Good Job Bissell.

Purchased from Harvey Norman (June 2024). $214.00

Hard to clean, easy to break – The spotclean works so well on spills and stains around the house. The trade off is that the machine itself needs to be cleaned after every use. … Read more

After 2 years of use, our machine hose broke. The part we need for it is always sold out on the website so we have a broken machine that we can't fix.

Okay, vacuum. Does not pick up everything – I purchased this vacuum based on the reviews on this website, but honestly I am disappointed. As claimed it does not pick up crumbs or other small… Read more

bits easily. I have to go over and over the litter to clear it. No doubt it is light in weight and when you have to go over and over on the rubbish to be cleared it does not help.

New owner and just on my second use. I’m very impressed with this little cleaner. I have 2 pups who have accidents on the carpet in the TV room.… Read more

Despite jumping on the wet patches straight away with absorbent towel and a specific dog antibacterial cleaner, there are visible stains on the carpet.

This machine was very easy to assemble (and disassemble to clean out the dirty water tank). Suction is excellent, although very noisy and I keep the pups in another room when I’m using it. Easy to move around. Easy and fun to use. The results were like magic. I’m happy with my purchase and hope this performance continues. Now experimenting with cleaning products.

100% DISAPOINTING, to small a capacity of cleaning/dirty liquids. First time use as of today, 24 April 2026. The appliance does what it's designed … Read more

for , however time consuming when using due liquid capacities. I purchased from Thomo's Betta Electrical in Rockhampton and they would not match The Good Guys pricing of $80.00 less. Unfortunately The Good Guys had sold out of there stock.

A few months ago I purchased a Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam, Model no 3670F this product works like a dream and is correctly designed, engineered and tested to be practical and a asset to making house cleaning easy, hence the massive DISAPOINTMENT. BISSELL HAS DEFINITELY DROPPED THERE "LEADING EDGE" on this model of the crosswave HF2.

machine I bought another as a spare and to get past the mentioned draw back of small tanks as I now have 2 sets

BUT KEEP THE INSTRUCTIONS - I did not and bought a 3rd machine when one stopped working

I removed ALL screws and pulled it all apart as much as I could - Could not find a fault but wanted a backup so put it all together until I had more time New on came and on last page of instructions I found out how to check the belt - Belt was twisted off end back drive along shaft - Just pushed it back shaft and it ran OK Reckon what got it out of line was me twisting the machine handle sideways instead of just back and forward (I am 85 and had to sit on a walker to work and twisting it to change direction) - IGNORE CHUBBY CHECKER do not twist Anyway I am happy to have 3 of these- Albeit at $292 this time - This machine is excellent

disappointment because i spent a lot (huge amount of money when you think about it) of money on a quality carpet cleaner and i have literally only used this about a dozen times and it is now fully useless. i am not impressed by the brand bissell. this is a terrible track record and i will never be buying a carpet cleaner from bissell ever again. i am very upset and disappointed. i am out of pocket a lot of money and i have a carpet cleaner ready for the bin. I hope this review helps others not waste their money as i have. regards MR very disappointed.

I love it. We've used a Dyson for years and recently decided to give this a go, as we have a dog and I was intrigued by the FurFinder. I'm genuinely… Read more

impressed. This is great at picking up the dog hair. It out performs the Dyson in my opinion. It comes with two batteries, but I only need the one to vacuum our house. It is heavier and bigger than a Dyson but I think that's because it is so much more powerful. It holds about the same, maybe a little easier at emptying and keeping clean. And I love the lights on the head, no more missing messes!

I purchased this stick vacuum around Christmas and unfortunately I’ve been quite disappointed with it. The unit weighs about 3.2 kg, which may not… Read more

sound like much on paper, but in practice it feels quite heavy during normal use. After a short time vacuuming, both my wife and I experience wrist soreness and fatigue. For a stick vacuum, I expected something lighter and easier to handle.

I also tried to claim the advertised bonus offer that came with the promotion, but the redemption had to be submitted within 14 days of purchase. Over the Christmas period this is very difficult to manage, and I feel the claim window should be more reasonable given the time of year and how busy people are.

Overall, the vacuum works, but the weight and the tight redemption timeframe for the promotion have left us disappointed with the purchase.

house, floor looks great & reasonable price.

I am glad it has a trigger start unlike many reviewers. It didn't hurt my hand. The benefit of this is that on my hybrid floor which syeam is mot recommended, i could just use as a hot mop. Vefy smart. So pleased I got this, no regrets, love it, do it, highly recommend.

No longer a Bissell customer – Do NOT buy Bissell! Their quality control and customer service is a complete failure. I purchased a Pet Hair Eraser Slim. It hadn't been a year and… Read more

there was 3 holes in the suction tube. I called, they sent a replacement because the VACUUM was still under warranty. I had to send my damaged one back which of course meant they'll put the same badly designed tube in it and send it out to someone else. They sent the wrong head. I had to send that back and then they sent the right one. Mind you I was without a vacuum all through this. Here I am not even another year later and I have a hole in the suction tube again. I contacted them. They offer me a 20% discount to buy that same defective reworked part or to buy a new vacuum. Because the vacuum is now out of warranty, past 1 year. They do not warranty the defective part they replaced separately. “This is unacceptable” I say. They have an obviously defective product, my vacuum isn't even 3 years old and I'm dealing with holes in the 2nd tube. “The best we can do is 25%” they say. Another 5%!? Are you out of your mind!? I tell them to escalate this to a higher up. They say I'll be contacted within a week by email with a decision. I received an email within an hour saying the same. That it's 25% and it's only valid while on chat or phone ordering through an agent with this complaint. Completely blown off. BISSELL you are a huge company. Your customer service should be extremely better. There is absolutely no reason my vacuum shouldn't have been replaced by the newer model, at the very least. Your vacuum lasted LESS THAN A YEAR and now I have to buy another. I promise you, IT WON'T BE A BISSELL.

wow. We did our friends carpet after her little dogs kept having accidents on it, she was amazed as well to see results, the carpet came up nicer then when she moved in. The Bissell solutions smell clean and fresh after cleaning for days, weeks. Easy to use, pretty straightforward how to fill and empty. After reading a particular review saying ‘renters dream’ is what sold us to purchase it. We highly recommended this machine to anyone with carpets. We will never need to pay anyone from here on in to clean our carpets. Money well spent on this machine we have nic named our ‘Bissell Beast’. LOVE it.

This is by far one of the worst Vacuum cleaner I ever owned. Bought it for my Mom, originally wanted a regular cordless vacuum but a friend convinced… Read more

us to get the mop one because "it's so convenient". Turns out the vacuum is complete garbage, doesn't do any good at either vacuuming or moping, the engine is very weak and doesn't suck well at all, the whole system is garbage and doesn't get the dirty water inside the tank, so it ends up back on your floor... It works for about 10 minutes then needs to be completely cleaned out so it doesn't leave dirty water everywhere. The product was advertised as being of good quality, even above commercial grade but it's worst than that. I do not recommend this product or that Brand that has poor ratings overall.

I'm very disappointed as reviews I had read seemed positive. Very short cable - I have attached a 10m extension lead so I don't have to change sockets for every room in the house. Cleans carpets well, for the areas it can reach. Wooden floors also ok but the head is so large it can't access small spaces eg round toilet or bathroom fixtures.

Product okay, customer service appalling – The product works well enough. As others say, it is heavy, the steam is inconsistent and the grout brush is somewhat frail, being bent out of shape… Read more

after only one use - though it is very effective. I suspect I'll have to buy several replacements on an ongoing basis and wonder if it wouldn't be better made of different material. Also the "toolbox" attached to the cleaner is inclined to slip around or off with handling as is necessary because of the weight of the unit. And it would be better if there was a continuous steam function instead of holding the steam trigger all the time which is tiring particularly when moving around a heavy unit. But the customer service is a joke. I had to enquire of Bissell whether the enclosed squeegee was faulty because it lacked the necessary cylindrical component to attach it to the unit. We went through the usual rigarmarole - send photo etc., only to discover squeegee must be attached to upholstery cleaning utensil. Enquired of Bissell why there is nothing NOTHING to this effect in the manual and never received a response. Seriously, don't waste my time, don't waste other customers' time by leaving such basic information out of the manual. It demonstrates a serious discourtesy to your customers.

I purchased a Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam from The Good Guys Carindale less than a year ago and it has already stopped working. I contacted Bissell… Read more

customer service and, after a long wait, they troubleshot the issue over the phone and then insisted it be sent to their service centre via a Post Office barcode.

It has now been almost 15 days and there has been no proper arrangement made for a replacement or a timely fix. In the meantime, I’m unable to clean my floors and have been left without a working machine. For a premium product to fail in under a year, and then receive such slow, almost non-existent support, is very disappointing. I would seriously think twice before buying this product again or recommending it to others.
