Bissell Carpet Cleaner

Most people know the power that goes into a Bissell steam cleaner or vacuum, but what about the cleaners? There are several different Bissell cleaning products that cover everything from removing pet stains to getting rid of carpet odors. Bissell has even created a line of Earth friendlier products with natural bases such as oxygen and orange extracts.

Bissell has created specialized solutions for their various machines. For example, there are certain solutions for the larger machines as well as the smaller machines. The cleaner you’d want to use in the Little Green is different than the cleaner made to be used in the Bissell Quick Steamer. There are even special Bissell cleaning products for people who have bare floors. Read the contents and instructions carefully before buying anything.

If you have pets, Bissell has a full line of products just for you. They’ve made it possible to keep up with excessive pet hair, pet stains, and even pet drool. They’ve created pet stain removers with special enzymes that not only clean pet stains, but remove the odors left behind as well. You can also purchase fabric and upholstery cleaners that have special tips that make cleaning your furniture as easy as cleaning your carpets.

If you’re going to clean your carpets with a Bissell machine, make sure you’ve got the right cleaning solution to go along. If you’re going to use the right tool for the job, make sure you’ve got the entire system. Using one of the Bissell cleaning products with your machines will ensure you get the best possible clean you could ever hope for.

The Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X CleanShot Upright Deep Cleaner is an upgrade from the previous 9400 ProHeat versions and includes 2 new distinct features.

As with all Proheat deep cleaners from Bissell the 9500 includes an on board built in heater that heats your hot tap water up to an extra 25 degrees. There is also the custom clean feature that allows you to adjust the amount of water to cleaning solution mixture to suit your cleaning needs. There are 4 different settings to choose from, light, normal, heavy and rinse.

The Dirtlifter power brushes work hard to dig out the deep down grit and debris embedded in the carpet fibers, yet are gentle enough to use on most types of carpets.

2 New Features

The Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X CleanShot Upright Deep Cleaner as been improved upon from the 9400 version which was the Bissell 9400 ProHeat 2X Select Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner. Most notable are these 2 new features

Clean Shot

The Clean Shot feature lets you shoot a concentrated spray of your hot cleaning/water solution directly on to a stain with the touch of a button.

Dry Aire system

Bissell as come up with the Dry Aire system. This spreads hot air over the carpet as you clean it, allowing you to use your carpet sooner.

Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X CleanShot Upright Deep Cleaner Reviews

“Believe it or not, the mesh bag is convenient because not all of the attachments get attached to the machine. By far, the best of the new features is the Clean Shot! I tried it on one stubborn stain, and it worked beautifully. I must admit, it’s a very nice feature! As for the Edge Sweep, at first I thought it was pointless because the bristles are stationary. But what I realized is the Edge Sweep is truly what gives your carpeting the well-groomed look to it, so it’s nice for that. But it doesn’t do anything for cleaning purposes.

The big clunker of new features is the Dry Aire. It’s useless, other than to warm up the room more and add more noise. It doesn’t help dry the carpets, runs even when using the attachments, and there is no way to turn it off. The only other “negative” is cleaning this machine.”

“The Bissell 9500 Deep Cleaner 2X Carpet shampooer is a fantastic machine. Not only did it really clean our carpets, but those of the floor below us — all in one pass. Seriously, though, I was surprised at its effectiveness and how good the carpets looked after using it. I didn’t think they were that dirty, but the Bissell removed a lot of unseen dirt.”

Where to Buy The Bissell 9500 ProHeat 2X CleanShot Upright Deep Cleaner

Amazon.com usually has some of the best prices on Bissell carpet cleaning products and include free shipping.

But before you buy where are a few things that you should be aware of:

1. It is important to clean your machine on a hard surface as it may leave leak or spill when emptying the water tank. You don’t want that stuff back on your Carpet.

2. Some customers have had to go over a wet spot a few times using the Dry Aire system. Be aware that it may not completely dry your carpet the first time, but it they will be dryer faster than if you didn’t use it at all.

3. This product is backed by Bissell’s 1 year limited warranty.

Another great Bissell deep cleaner for under $100 is the Bissell 2090 quick steamer. This should also be labeled as a lightweight machine weighting under 20lbs but Bissell is trying to shorten their product names I guess :).

While this is another good cleaner the name “quicksteamer” can be misleading as this doesn’t actually do any cleaning by using steam. Since there is no on board heater the water can only ever get as hot as when you pour it into the machine itself. Please do not attempt to add boiling water as this is not recommended and may actually damage the product.

You can however use this Bissell 2090 to clean almost all flooring surfaces including ceramic and laminate flooring. As always it comes with the dirt lifter power brush for getting your carpets extra clean.

Bissell 2090 Quicksteamer Reviews

Here are what some people are saying about the Bissell 2090. You can find all the reviews both positive and negative here.

“I have a husband, a 5-year-old, and three cats……and WHITE carpet. This carpet cleaner got out all the marks on my carpet. The tank is not big, but it works because there is not an on board heater, so you will have to refill the tank with new HOT water for bigger rooms….”

“I read all the reviews before I bought this cleaner through Amazon. I’d used the Bissell green machine in the past. It was great for small jobs but I hated the idea of getting down on my hands and knees. This cleaner works great as advertised..”

Where to buy the Bissell 2090 Quicksteamer

If you have been reading my blog for a while now you know that I recommend Amazon.com for almost all my bissell product purchases. I do receive a commission if you buy through them but that is not why I recommend them. Price is the reason, Why would you pay an extra $20, $30 or $50 at a retail store when you can have it shipped to your door (free) and for way less money. Seems like a no brainer to me.
