Bissell ProHeat All Rounder

Pretty good but poor suction for vacuuming – Update 19-Nov-2017 I've come to the opinion that the suction is not satisfactory for doing normal vacuuming of large areas of carpet. It's fine when using the smaller tools, but not for the larger tools. For this reason, I've regretfully purchased a separate machine for vacuuming. I will probably be keeping the Bissell, because a) I like having… Read more

a wet/dry vac, and it does make a worthwile improvement when using it to clean carpet. Due to the perceived poor suction, I have reduced my rating from 4 stars down to 3. I have kept my original review intact below:

This is the first time I've used a carpet cleaner, so I have nothing with which to compare it to. That said, I am satisfied with the carpet cleaning performance so far. I also love the versatility of the machine overall, especially for the price I got it. (it's discontinued now, being replaced by the Hydroclean model) I don't mind having to empty the collection tank when vacuuming - the fact that all the muck is in water actually kind of makes it easier and less messy than emptying a dry container, because there is no dust. To avoid clogging my drain, I use a strainer to catch most of the solids, and then dump the muck into a bin. The suction power when vacuuming is good - it's not *as* good as my old Electrolux cylinder vacuum when it's bag is empty, however that suction doesn't last long as the bag fills.

Tip for any other idiots like me: when vacuuming, make sure you use the correct fill line! I was initially filling to the maximum fill line level that pertains to carpet cleaning, which really reduces the suction. Look for the much lower "fill to here" line, which is on the rear of the collection tank.

Pros:

- The current price (I paid $380) is excellent IMHO

- Versatile

- Whilst a bit heavy, the fact that it has a handle on the top makes it quite easy to grab and move

- Bagless water filtered vacuuming - I really like this!

Cons:

- Non-extending, two piece fixed tube design

- A bit heavy

- The air brush tool feels like it's sort of skimming over the surface of the carpet - it doesn't feel like it's really "grabbing" the carpet with suction. I feel like I *may* need to use the other combo carpet/floor tool as well, rather than just rely on the air brush tool, OR, just use the combo tool and forget about the air brush. Too early to tell yet.

- For floor vacuuming, I'm not sure the design of the combo carpet/floor vacuuming tool is optimum. I prefer my Electrolux design, which uses wheels rather than brushes. The brushes of the Bissell collect a lot of dust/fibres, which would otherwise have been simply vacuumed up. When vacuuming carpet the brushes are retracted so no problem there.

- With the tube extension connected, if just feels slightly flimsy - there is a bit of disconcerting flex. I notice this when carpet cleaning because I like to exert quite a lot of force when scrubbing the carpet.

- Slightly difficult to push in the little lock tab to disconnect the tubes & tools.

- Would be nice if there was an option to have two separate wet cleaning solution containers, so we could quickly switch between, say, carpet detergent and pure water (for rinsing).

- No partial fill lines on either the fluid tank or the measuring lid

Great Single Machine For Carpet Cleaning & Secondary Vacuum – I manage over a 100 apartments all over the CBD and really like this machine for the smaller apartments. It requires more physical work, but is ideal for tight areas such as tiny apartments. Also reasonably portable to carry around. Water filtration means there are no bags to buy. Vacuum has strong suction and motor is made to run for hours at a… Read more

time. Crucial to have the correct settings on the inlet where the hose attaches to the unit. I think this may be why there are mixed comments on the suction power. When properly set up it has great suction. I use it several times per week & am used to it. I can appreciate that some users find it complicated to use. Cleaning after use, including all filters, would be a 5-10 minute job once you get used to it. Very reliable and excellent value for money with careful use. It is not heavy duty construction, and this has to be taken into consideration when using it. Plastic cracks & breaks. The idea is to not use enough force to do that to plastic. Bissell have been great when I need parts. Part numbers are in the manual, and I just order parts over the phone and they courier them to me. I have 5 carpet cleaning machines of varying size, but this is the favorite for under 20m2 jobs. Very maneuverable in small and awkward areas. Plastic construction requires careful use.

Brilliant for the clean-obsessed home-maker! – I'm really impressed with the Bissell Healthy Home ProHeat All Rounder. Like Reviewer efutoo I found the machine to be user friendly and easy to use. The suction is excellent and has every tool that you could possibly need to clean the house. I was a bit concerned about the dry hoover but it had excellent suction and afterwards, the canister… Read more

was easy to clean so you don't have all the dust build up in the filters that you normally get in a vacuum cleaner.

It is a very sturdy machine and well-built but some might find it a bit heavy and cumbersome. We have had other vacuum cleaners that always tipped over, so this 'heaviness' was actually a good feature for us - in fact, it isn't that heavy and the power cord (5m) and the hose/attachment (5m) means that the unit doesn't need to be moved much at all.

The wet floor cleaner - BRILLIANT! - dries after itself, managed to get some wax that I accidently spilt on the tile floor off, and the smell of the solution is lovely!

Finally - my husband had a go of the Bissell and was amazed at how easy and "comfortable" it was to use as he didn't have to hunch over (he is 6' 4) to do the hoovering as the wand was long enough. This is also a good feature for me as I am short and need to reach the ceiling corners to clean cobwebs.

So far, we have found the Bissell to be a good quality build and a fantastic buy... we haven't done any carpet or upholstery cleaning yet, but if the tile and carpet floor results are to go by, I'm sure it will be great. Excellent cleaner - robust, clean, wet & dry cleaning. Nothing wrong, but some might find it a bit heavy (20kg) when both water tanks are filled.

Love it – Great for ensuring a good clean. A bit loud so i wear ear plugs. Cons : The plastic bits seem fragile and do break which is a pity considering the price you pay for it. Had the hose connection ends of the brush head break, it was a 2 cm strip of plastic holding the ends to the hose. The small clip to the back filter broke so i had to live without… Read more

the backend filter hence the loud noise. And finally the water tank leaked water, guess my tap water was too hot. Now looking to buy a new vacumn, i want a water filter type and theres not many options availible. Hope the latest model is built more robust with the plastics.

perfect carpet vacuum & shampooer – i"ve had this for years. it shampoos the carpet really well. those who said it stinks, of course it will if you don't remove the wAter. this machine will actually show you how disgusting your carpet is. i had to shampoo my carpet a few times but after i've done it, the carpet smells so clean & fresh. i would recommended this and have actually been recommending Bissell for their quality machine  Show details

A machine performs as advertised – I am satisfied will the unit. It does everything expected well for the past 5+ year, with no problems to date. That being said it only get used for 3 or 4 days a year, but for 2 or 3 hour per day. It has even been loaned on occasion with satisfied feedback. The model I have is the older model. Looking at the part lists in the current model and… Read more

the model I have, there seems to be many common part numbers, so I suspect the machine has not changed much between models.

The good:

Good domestic hot water type extractive cleaner, for carpets and upholstery.

Powerful suction on dry vacuuming, and wet filtering make dust disposal dust free. The rotary carpet brush works well.

Lots of fitting are provided standard.

Lasted 5+ years no problems to date.

The not so good:

Relatively heavy.

A little Fiddly to use, but worth the effort. (Reading the manual first is worthwhile)

Somewhat bulky to store.

Important to correctly clean and store between use.

A bit noisy when using, but acceptable.

The Bissel cleaning detergent is far too expensive, about $20/litre, in a non metric size. I usually use more about a litre to clean the house carpets and nearly an another litre for the various rugs each year. After a though dry vac with the rotary brush, I prefer to use a bit more detergent on the stained areas first, then a general detergent clean, followed by a rinse clean. Fortunately Bunnings sells a suitable bulk detergent replacement, "steamy" for less than $30 for 5 litre, which I have been using successfully the past 3 years or so.

I do not regret purchasing this machine and would consider a replacement of the current model upon non-economic failure.

Problems not fixed from previous models – Good points cleans well carpet and ulphostery. and solid floors. tank sizes are a good size. Bad points to consider, very heavy noisy and the the outlet fitting is hard to get at. Needs cleaning after each use. There no bypass if you don't want to use the heater all cleaning liquid passes through the heater so it get build up and stops… Read more

spraying.

Poor design has not changed since previous models need good overhaul as the same problems are still there.

cleaned everything, took it apart. The Heater core gets clogged, with the calcium deposit inside the heater core had eats through the core... Which can cause the water leaks from the bottom.

both machine rendered useless.

Bissell must have know this for years and have done nothing to fix the problem except produce more useless machines year after year.

Had 2 models machines both broke down in less than 12 months.

Performance*****

Design **

Ease of use ...

Does what it says it will do, but has some problems – I use it as a spot cleaner to clean up after my old dog. While it does this quite well there are some problems with the design that make it annoying to use. The seal between the hose and the collection tank can leak if the machine is moved by pulling on the hose. When disconnecting the hose to empty the collection tank, liquid can leak from the… Read more

hose and the mode selector.

Attachments can be difficult to remove if the attachment socket and hose wand plugs are not really clean. The attachment connecting clips are hard to operate because they are so small.

Main hose can clog easily due to the water dispensing tube being inside.

Main hose does not drain well and needs to be stored flat to stop water leaking out.

Needs cleaning after about 2 uses. some attachments are difficult to clean if they get blocked with pet hair.

Very heavy (wife cannot lift it) and difficult to move.

Does everything expected of it – After considerable research on numerous models, we selected the 41C7F. We have carpet throughout our entire home apart from the kitchen. Being a very light colour it had accumulated numerous marks and discoloured areas over 9 years that had proven difficult to shift by hand. We targeted the area that had sustained two red wine spils. The Bissell… Read more

removed the remnants of the spill with just a few passes. The unit is easy to operate provided one reads the instructions. Yes, it is quite heavy when filled with formula. Being on casters it moves quite readily so this was not a problem. Our carpet is now without any marks or soiled areas. Cannot speak highly enough about our Bissell. Owners complaining about shortfalls should possibly read the operating instructions before use.

Great product, terrible aftersales service – This machine does a great job, and has been everything I expected. However, just before the warranty expired, the pump stopped working. As I had lost the receipt I was directed to a service outlet for a quote. They told me the pump required replacement, and quoted a price just short of the value of a new machine. I picked it up, having to pay $60… Read more

for the inspection, and we continued to use it with a 5 l sprayer filled with water and the shampoo.

As luck would have it, I found the receipt 4 days before the warranty expired, and receipt in hand, very excitedly called Bissell aftersales.

The person who took the call was incredibly rude, and declined warranty. Her words were: "oh, I see you have 4 days left under warranty". She asked if I use hot water in the tank, and I replied in the affirmative, she said, "Oh that voids the warranty, they wont repair that under warranty, hot water damages the pump". I was also referred to Page 7 of the book. She went on a long diatribe about the book and page 7, and enquired if I had the book. I would not confirm if I had the book, so she noted that I refused to answer. Please note that Page 7 confirms that hot tap water is to be added to the tank!!

She would not give me her name or ID, or put me through to a supervisor, and than hung up on me.

In fraustration, I called the retailer who agreed to take the item back, and swap for a new one, while taking the matter up with Bissel. I was very happy with the retailers service, and will buy another brand off them. I intend to sell the new Bissel and purchase another brand.

In conclusion, Bissel is great product, but don't expect any assistance when something goes wrong. They do not have centres where the product goes for warranty, it must go back to them, and you must deal with rude call centre staff who are obviously trained to decline warranty in the first instance. This is very poor business.

PS: just household use, not commercial use. Also, cost around $500 + products, so not a cheap machine.

If you dont wash it every time after use, it stinks like a dumpster. Parts cracked soon after I boug – Stinks. Heavy. Changed my mind after few months. Needs a lot of maintenance. Too many parts. Carpet and floor washing liquid is pricey. Too much mess Solid but totally adjustable build, no dust at all cos water filter, not noisier than any other Can be heavy when washing floor but hey, it s not mean for lifting. Needs some force to push. Made for the young people/not old

Brilliant Carpet Shampoo...bulky vacuum – After reading many reviews I understood that the Bissell Healthy Home ProHeat All Rounder would deliver as a carpet shampoo machine but not to expect a lot of joy with it as a vacuum. Before : filty white carpet from pets and kids After : clean and soft white carpet with only a few small spot stains from ink, etc Brilliant and easy to use. Took… Read more

about five hours including clearing all floors, vacuuming, wet shampoo and cleaning up. Large water tank, brilliant shampoo clean

Loving it!!!!! – Ive bought a carpet cleaner/hard floor cleaner and the lil green machine from bissel and loved them both… came to the time when i needed a new vacuum i had a dyson before hand so i came across this machine the pro heat all rounder and love it!!! Dont mind having to rinse the water filter out after each vacuum because its no different to emptying… Read more

a bagless vaccum (dyson) dust gathering compartment… i love how it doesn have that dusty smell after vacuuming either because there is no dust i rather much empty dirty water being an asthmatic! I also dont mind the weight of it… would definately buy again if it comes to it over the years Everything Absolutely nothing

Great carpet cleaner – I don't own one of these but borrow a family member's one from time to time. First off, if using this machine purely as a vacuum cleaner, note it's heavy and there's probably better machines out there for this role. The people leaving bad reviews seem to think this machine is an everyday vacuum cleaner, It isn't. But if you're primarily… Read more

after a carpet cleaner, then this machine is hard to bet. The tanks size is fairly generous and this is where a lot of other machines are let down. Cleans carpets great! Isn't an everyday vacuum.

Not a straight forward machine – I bought this machine as most of our home is tiled and we wanted a cleaner which would wash the floors. We have a steam mop but find that the pad gets dirty really quickly and then you end up smearing dirt across the floor. The Bissell ProHeat seemed like the perfect solution but unfortunately it is just not a 'plug in and go' machine and needs a lot of preparation and then clean up for effective use. Cumbersome and time consuming to set up

Lemon? – Did I buy a lemon? After reading all the good reviews , mine can't suck the skin of a custard. Seriously, I went back over with my GE dust buster and it picked up everything the bissell left behind. And that was everything. All seems to work well, just poor suction. Could someone tell me if I'm doing anything wrong? Idea. The wash cycle Lousy suction on a basic, quick vacuum

Very good product ! – I like it a lot! It is just what I needed at home. The only problem that it is heavy, but I live in 1 floor flat, so it isn't an issue. Cleans very good! I think it also can clean the walls, but didn't try it yet. Totaly recommend the Proheat ! Reliable, effective, must tool for your home It's heavy

Inconvenient! – This vaccuum cleaner was on sale for $749 at david jones and we got it for $200 thank god otherwise i would have really regretted buying such a terrible, messy and smelly product. Takes too long to do a simple task, disgusting to clean the filter and the water, it smells and just too heavy and just makes vacuuming as bad as it is even worse! I… Read more

would never recommend to anyone as it is a piece of junk. The sale price and i guess it vacuums like any other vacuum cleaner. Smelly, disgusting to clean!

I refuse to live without it! – I love this machine, it is superb. It is so user friendly. I am now on my second machine, using the first one until it had no life left in it. What I love about this machine is it really works. I thought you would have to push hard to suck up all the water out of the carpets, but not so. I had a Karcher carpet cleaner before and I had to push… Read more

so hard on it that I got tennis elbow. The Bissell is so easy and efficient. I would never buy the same machine twice if it wasn't great. Having 12 dogs, I spot clean nearly every day, and my machine gets flogged. Only the Bissell seems to be up for the job. Does a good job but if you are looking for professional carpet cleaner type results, you were right the first time, go back to the professionals. This is a simple and effective domestic model, its great, but not as good as the $5,000 machines. If you expect those results your expectations are not realistic. Light pressure is all that is needed to efficiently suck up all of the water. No sore elbows! The only flaw is a tiny one. Where the plastic container that holds the water sits, if you don't wipe off the excess water before putting it back, it dampens the area and the screws in the base of the machine start to rust. Mine ended up rusting so bad that the screws moulded into the plastic, and couldn't be removed, not that I ever needed to, but if you did, it would be a problem.

Good but not great – I purchased the Bissell Healthy Home ProHeat All Rounder so that I could wash the carpet, car and furniture upholstery. I did not find the instructions to be too difficult and the machine is easy to use. It vacuums and washes extremely well. For anyone that suffers from allergies, you will find this to be a fantastic machine. When vaccuming, the… Read more

dust is collected in water, providing a dust free solution when emptying. All items that I have washed have produced surprising results, unlike other non-commercial machines it leaves carpets with no sticky residue. My husband 'mopped' the floors (for the first time ever, he thought it would be fun) with the hard floor tool, it is brilliant as it dries as you go. I have only a few negative issues, it is cumbersome therefore difficult to store, and the wand appears to not be strong enough when washing carpets, it is fine when vacuuming though. Other than these small issues it is a great machine for large and small jobs alike. Thoroughly cleans carpets and upholstery. Lots of tools for various applications. Wand needs to be stronger. Difficult to store in standard cupboards.

This shampooer has the WOW factor! – I bought this Bissell after much research into similar products and I am blown away. We have 3 kids under 4, 2 cats, and a dog therefore our carpets are constantly getting dirty from spills and drips and hair, not to mention dirt brought inside on kids feet and general dust. I had hired the supermarket shampooers a few times and also had carpets… Read more

professionally cleaned once, and I have to say that the Bissell Healthy Home ProHeat All Rounder does as good a job and maybe even better! The carpets look refreshed, clean, and almost new looking again. The carpet finishes even drier than the hire shampooer, or the professional shampooers, and were able to be walked on in 40 minutes.....of course the weather would be a factor in this. Then, if that was not good enough, it comes with an upholstery attachment so you can clean your couch as well (another must in this house). But wait.....there's more......It cleans and drys your hard floors too!!! It comes with a hard floor cleaner attachment. We have white shiny tiles that everyone constantly slipped on when wet, so cleaning the tiles was limited to evenings after the kids were in bed, but now I can do it any time. It does actually clean AND dry the tiles at the same time. Amazing! There are too many attachments to mention. This vacuum shampooer does it all. It even heats the water to 14 degrees hotter than the water you put in so it is good antibacterial action too. It is a water filter so not dust to worry about when emptying. Our water was blackest black when I went to empty it. And it is very easy to empty, rinse and store. Just ensure you empty and rinse after every use or it may smell. It is a heavy machine but it pulls along easy and has a long hose. I have a list of friends and relatives all eager to borrow my new toy. :) I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially anyone with shiny slippery floor tiles and kids. Better than a hire shampooer or a professional. Great suction. Cleans well. Cleans and dries the tiles at the same time.

Good – I had my carpets professionally cleaned after our indoor dog had passed away. I bought my Bissell a few weeks later and it picked up a ball of dog hair about 20cm wide. I highly recommend this cleaner for deep vaccuuming and steam cleaning. It is difficult to move around though as it is very heavy and you have to stop and pick it up to move it. … Read more

We have a smaller unit we use most days and use the Bissell just every couple of weeks or so. Deep cleans really well Heavy and cannot be pulled along - you have to stop and move it

Machine is good but quality is bad - do not buy! – Clears quite well, especially like wet cleaning. Unfortunately the design of this machine does not allow vacuum and wash at the same time as the wet nozzle gap is very narrow and bigger pieces get stuck. So have to vacuum first and then wash. Quality of plastic is bad. After first year of using half of nozzles were broken. Even easy hit against furniture breaks nozzle. After 2 years it completely broken and unusable. Do not buy!

Terrible – Not happy, if you don't mind the smell, extreme loud noise, changing the water after each use, with a short cord that you have to plug in from room to room than this is the product for you.... The attachments that came with it and the versatility of them with plenty of suction. Extremely loud, everyday use would cause permanent hearing loss, can… Read more

be heard from 800 meters away!.Cloggs up easily and if you don't clean the water after each use (no matter how small of an area you have just cleaned) be prepared to have a house with clean floors but smelling like a swampy rubbish tip.

Love it can't live without it – I love this vacuum, it cleans everything. My favorite attachment is my carpet cleaner. At times it is a bit bulky to get out, but so worth the results it gives. I love the way it filters thru water as this has helped with my daughters asthma. Easy to clean, just take the tank outside and hose it out, & once a fortnight I detach the hose and take… Read more

it outside to hose aswel. My friend also has this vacuum and if doesn't empty it each time it begins to smell, but a just put a few drops of essential oil in the tank and I don't seem to get this problem. Great suction, fantastic carpet and upholstery cleaner Bulky, can smell

heavy and awkward machine – I have had this machine now for about 2 or more years and each time have found it not only very heavy, I have a 2 storey house and cannot lift it up the stairs and cannot even shampoo the carpet on the stairs because of the weight and awkward shape, it is hard to clean and I have tohave heop changing the various heads for different jobs, I have… Read more

lent it to various neighbours who also have found it the worst machine ever invented and I cannot wait to save anough money to buy a machine which is easier to use. I tried sending this machine back after I had used it once and was refused, even to get an exchange, not a company to deal with they have little or no customer experience. my advice, Never buy this sort of bissel, take time and buy something else

expensive, to heavy, hard to use and harder still to clean, gets clogged up.

50/50 – Does a great job cleaning and just love that it is filtered by water. I found the general use attachment to be prone to breaking - the part that attaches to the handle comes away from the part that touches the floor. It is only connected by some plastic flanges which seem to break off easily. Am about to order my 3rd replacement. FIrst 2… Read more

happens within 2 yr warranty period but am not out of warranty.

Overall does an excellent job but do wonder if replaceing this part every year may become a little costly. Does an excellent job. Good warranty service Noisy. General floor cleaning head flimsy and prone to coming apart.

Good cleaner, a lot of messing about assembling – This cleans and vaccuums very well, but takes a lot of time to setup and needs to be emptied and cleaned after every use. Powerful, cleans floor well To long tosetup and pack up, would be quicker to sweep the floor than go throught the process

Good – If you buy this product is very important to read and understand the instruction befor using. The after use maintenance instruction needs to be followed to the lettervto get maximum performance from the appliance. Washing the flexible nose is a mustvas particles get caught in the pipe due to the water pipe running thru it. It is an excellent… Read more

cleanerHard floor cleaning in particular is very good and it removes stubborn dirt easily The noise the cleaner makes need ear muffsThe easy with which the vacuum is reduced by fluff being caught in either the head or in the flexible pipe

Works well, but could be more user-friendly – I initially bought this machine as I had a baby on its way & I wanted to thoroughly clean the house. I was impressed by all its functions when it was demonstrated at a local expo. But once I took it home, it was extremely cumbersome & took me a while to read through the instruction manual. It is definitely not a machine you can just do some… Read more

quick 'spot' cleaning. I'm finding that I need to prepare beforehand & then reserve some energy to clean it out afterwards.

Overall, I am thrilled that it can clean so many different things around the house, but am disappointed that it takes so much energy to use. I would like to see the manufacturer produce a more user-friendly model before I recommended it to anyone. It cleans well. I cleaned my carpets over the weekend & they turned out great. Very bulky; hard to store & very hard to carry/move around. It takes a fair while to just set it up (needs water in tank) & then it is disgusting to clean (the water catches all the dirt & you have to empty this down the sink). It is also VERY loud & scares my dog + little baby. The attachment to clean a tiled floor is not the best & does not allow you to scrub over hard-to-remove stains.

Excellent – I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product. We considered a number of products & based on other friends recommendations bought the Bissell Proheat All Rounder and am so happy. Off to do more cleaning! It REALLY, REALLY Cleans! I use this as a carpet and hard floors cleaner only (I have a Dyson for vacuuming). I have three toddlers under three years and a dog… Read more

plus a wonderful husband who forgets to wipes his shoes!!!. I have tiles in the kitchen & bathrooms and carpets in the lounge, carpet stairways and carpet throughout the upstairs. I have had this product a week and have used it on playmats, the tiles, stairs and carpets. All flooring come up beautifully clean (as good as a professional carpet cleaner. Which I use to have to use regularly) They dry quickly and look GREAT! The product is big. I store it in the garage which keeps it out of the way. It is heavy when full of water but you don't notice this when you start using it and get awesome results!!!

This is a great machine. Cleans carpets really well – Have just bought this machine today and so far I am pleased with it. It took a while to read and understand instruction book but once I got going it was easy to operate. I am happy with the result i got after cleaning my cream berber carpet just once. Lots of suction.

It will reduce your carpet cleaning /upholster cleaning expenses 100% as you can do it yourself with this All rounder vacuum cleaning. No more fuss with flooded bathrooms...or dirty paw prints on your suite. First… Read more

time I`m impressed with vacuum cleaner.

I had at least 4 vacuum cleaners within last 7 years...and I love this one !

My overall rating is 10 out of 5.

:) I`m very happy! ...but like I wrote...its perfect for specific things/people.

If you need vacuum only for once a week/months without heavy duty cleaning ...then better buy ordinary small vacuum.

Boyfriends/lovers-Its not good gift for young lady with no kids/animals/hubby.

(Better buy trip for 2 for romantic holiday!)

Thanks!

XOXO

Emme I just got letter from friend who had big problem with flooded bathroom ans deeply soaked carpet.That little letter made me think to write review here as well…I love this All Rounder!It’s perfect for every type of floor or upholsters , car internal wash and tiles in the shower room.I’m very impressed with it! Most of it I like that its mop with vacuum. Normally you have to vacuum before moping and vacuum after moping as some dust and dirt still comes out of the corners.It gives super satisfaction to see nice clean floor and all dirty water goes back inside vacuum container.+ If you child loves to make local swimming pool out of your bathroom( every parent knows) its perfect thing to clean all the mess without any problems. NO fuss, 2 min job with vacuum…no needed 150 towels and wet rags all around.If you have small home office, home kindergarten, small cafeteria or few furry friends this vacuum is absolute helper.Or if you are cleaning maniac and/or medical person.If you have house full of kids and/or animals..+Its super good if you/you have family member with multiple allergies ( especially dust and mites) to do daily wet mopping over carpet and collect dust Previous review writers wrote few problems.: NO power head> ??? -My vacuum came with power head and all other pieces…More than I need. All what is shown on this web site!http://www.bissell.com.au/Products/c/CanisterDeepCleaners/p/allrounder/product.aspxLicking dirty water- water connection tube (hose solution line number 8 on that website ) comes sometimes slightly disconnected when you empty dirty water container-check it every time.Boyfriends/lovers-Its not good gift for young lady with no kids/animals/hubby.Better buy ticket for romantic holiday!Its not good gift for young lady with no kids/animals/hubby.This vacuum cleaner is for hard working well organized day after day busy mom!+It you have toddler then its big fun for them to sit on the top of vacuum and it has even super handy handle where to hold and play *horsey*It doesnt have silly hard to find paper filters.(only filter what it has is on the back for out blowing air-not really needed) Its big! BUt you couldnt make it smaller...or have to run every 30 min to fill it with more water.Makes big noise-small prize to pay for nice and clean house!On site is writen that you can leave dirty water in till you are ready for next time...I wouldnt do it! As dirty water (full of bacteria) is giving bad smell. And wash it outside in the garden or it will clog your plumbing...belive me! Dirt what comes out is unbelievable!I found sometimes hard to change heads .

Good – I just love it!! I am always cleaning my lounge and carpet (dont have a lot of carpet) It's also fantastic for your car seats etc... rugs I clean everything with it.. I dont use the steam mop side of it rather a mop and bucket.. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a clean house - leaves house smelling clean and fresh.. I guess if you are… Read more

buying it mainly to dry vac it isn't the easiet thing to wip over the carpets but I will never again pay for someone to clean carpets, lounges etc. etc. so they way I see it it pays for itself.. Friends and family that have seen my vac and used it have gone and bought one.... Absolutely love this machine!! I love cleaning my carpet and lounge, does a great job. Fantastic for those allergic to dust mites... It is a bit of a hassle to dry vac but you get used to it...

Excellent – Users who are disappointed with this unit probably don't know how to use it. First you do the dry cleaning, then the wet cleaning, or just the wet cleaning!

We have 2 indoor dogs who shed hair, and drag in halve the garden, and this vacuum cleaner takes everything off the floor. The suction is great. Perfect for vacuuming carpets, mopping and vacuuming floors at the same time, and carpet cleaning.

The heater is awesome, heats up the cleaning solution tank so everything dries faster and helps clean. My partners has a bad back, and has no problems cleaning the floors with it. Great All round vacuum cleaner. I chose this over the Vax units. Because its so big, it is heavy when full of water... carrying it up and down stairs will be a problem, this is not your typical light vacuum. You buy this unit because it uses water to clean - comes with the territory. Because it is big, storage could be a problem. Aluminum parts on outside of the plastic hose stick / wand wouldve been nice to keep it more sturdy.
