 DO NOT BUY November 30, 2008
WORSE THAN I EVER IMAGINED. DOES VERY LITTLE AS ADVERTISED. TOOK IT FOR REPAIR THINKING THAT IT WAS JUST A BAD UNIT, WAS REPLACED WITH NEW ONE AND STILL JUST AS BAD....LOOK ELSEWHERE
 Needs some tweaks November 22, 2008
In general I like the design. I like that all the attachments fit on the unit so they don't get lost. I like how compact the unit is. It's a little heavy, but that's okay.
I don't like the way it dispenses the cleaning fluid. It should be sprayed on with a more fine mist instead of a thick stream. It means that it's hard to get good even coverage of the fluid.
I had to stop and empty it a lot. I guess this is okay, but it would be neat if it could make a little better use of it's space to store more fluid.
It was hard to tell when the clean water was empty. There needs to be some sort of indicator to tell you when you are out of water.
It took a long time to clean it afterwards. I don't know how this good be improved as there are lots of parts and if you don't clean it well, it will get nasty.
I didn't like how the turbo stair brush could either suck or scrub. Not both at the same time. The scrubber was weak. I guess the only way to improve this would be to run electricity to the head and put a motor in it. That would be expensive and make it big and heavy. I guess the compromise made was good, but I wish there was a better way to get more power in the turbo stair brush scrubber.
 Love it! October 24, 2008
This is a great product. I researched a lot before I decided to purchase it. I am very happy with it, it cleans great, my carpets finally look fresh, and smell good. I got great tips from the reviews on Amazon about proper maintenance of this cleaner, indeed it is very easy to do it, and in general very easy to operate. I highly recommend Bissell 9400 ProHeat.
Works great, could be built better October 17, 2008

I bought this cleaner over a year ago after moving into a rental house with off-white carpet about the color of cream of wheat. Like other reviewers, I also have a dog and I had no delusions that this carpet would stay clean with just a vacuum.
After multiple uses the carpet is actually cleaner than the day the professionals came to do it.
Plenty of others have pointed out the positives, so I'll focus on useage tips and my only complaint.
X Complaint: It's not made extremely sturdy. Especially for such a heavy machine. My carpet is on one level and the traffic area relatively small. I can imagine users with large areas or a need to move this machine to separate rooms or floors might experience durability issues.
Tips:
X Vacuum THOROUGHLY before using ths machine, otherwise you may end up with yucky hair balls (pets) or dust bunnies/fuzzies and a dirty machine. Thoroughly means 2-3 passes and vacuum slowly so the brushes dislodge all the hair and lint they can. What you don't get now, the Bissell will ball up. It isn't designed to pick that stuff up so you'll be doing that by hand.
X Use the wand for spot cleaning the carpet - I was lazy and used the floor cleaning head and that just uses too much soap, water, and time.
X Always finish with a rinse. For no other reason than to clear the soap from the machine to prevent clogging. Especially with the wand. I suck up a cup of warm water after using the wand and then hold the hose vertically until all the water has been sucked into the machine. That will prevent drips and leaks.
X I rarely use any setting besides Light Cleaning and Rinse. Too much soap requires a lot of rinsing which equals wet carpet and potential staining as the carpet dries and dirt from the pad wicks up the carpet fibers.
X Have a large rag/towel handy to park the machine on. Mine will leak dirty water on the floor if left parked for even a few moments, even when left running.
X I've had no clogging problems, but I do put a cup or so of warm water in the soap tank and run it through the machine before I refill it every 2nd time.
X I also clean the machines removable parts every other use so it looks good (dog hair!) and doesn't get full of clog causing junk. I've even removed the clear parts over the brushes, but that can be cleaned in place with patience and some ingenuity with a scewer or piece of thin wire to pluck out the buildup.
This machine has been great and I've used it at a friends to clean their carpet free of dog and food/juice stains.
Finally, a non-Bissell recommendation for Pet Owners. Simple Solution Stain and Odor remover has worked fabulously for me. I mix in the recommended amount in with the fresh water and use the machine on rinse setting. Urine stains may remain once the job is done, but are always gone by the next day. Note: On light carpet I avoid using the solution full strength as described on the bottle due to the wicking effect during the drying period that stains my light carpet. That requires another cleaning with water only.
Thanks Bissell and Amazon!
Easy to use and works well October 1, 2008
I bought this after getting a dog. If you have pets you gotta get one of these. I use mine all the time because it's so easy to use.
It won't get every spot clean, but then again noting will. Even with the best machines, spot treating and a little elbow grease is required. I would recommend this to anyone looking a very good unit a good price.
