Did you know that for less than $250, you can get your carpet clean?  Well, it is possible with the Bissell 9200 ProHeat 2x Deep Carpet Cleaner. This machine is going to make cleaning carpets a whole lot more convenient than having someone else do them and a lot easier than renting a machine from the supermarket.

Bissell 9200 ProHeat 2x Specifications

• Product Dimensions: 19 x 13 x 44 inches
• Warranty: 1-year limited
• Cleaning Head: 12 inch with 10 rows of bristles
• Power: 12 Amp

What You Will Love

The Bissell ProHeat 2x makes cleaning your carpets a breeze. You don’t have to get down on your hands and knees to spot clean anymore. In fact, you can probably clean several rooms without even stopping, because of the 1 gallon tank and the 27 foot power cord.

What makes this machine different from other deep cleaning machines is that there is the option of heating the hot water that you put in 25 degrees more, which makes cleaning tough areas like the hallways even easier.

Another thing you will love about this machine is that you won’t void your warranty on your carpet by using it. This is a big consideration if your carpet is still under warranty. As long as you use it every 12 months, your Scotchgard Protector 5-year warranty on your carpet is still good.

Putting the machine together is not going to take a rocket scientist, so you will be able to quickly get to cleaning your carpets.

Here’s what one satisfied reviewer had to say about the ProHeat 2x machine:

“The heating unit works in just one minute after filling the water bladder and placing it back on the deep cleaner.

Using it on a 12′ x 12′ bedroom and a 14′ x 25′ great room was pretty easy and pleasurable. The result was perfection in a spotless carpet! Most importantly, a spotless carpet with little shampooing residue left behind compared to other cleaners.”

What You Won’t Love

Cleaning your carpets and rugs means that they are going to be wet. To avoid mold and mildew problems, your carpet cleaner should get out as much of that moisture from the carpet as possible. The Bissell ProHeat 2x has a hard time getting a lot of the water back out of your carpets meaning that it is going to take a long time for them to dry.

Another problem that people reported was that the water tanks were difficult to fill and empty. This could be a problem if you are doing a large area, and have to stop to switch the water often. Also, the quality of the water bladders were questioned, and described as “cheap”.

Here is a review that might persuade you not to buy it:

“It was so bad and hard to deal with. I had to empty and refill the water tank way too often. I also boxed mine back up and took it back to the store where I bought it.

My carpets have been drying since 11 am this morning and it is 5pm now and they are still not dry. I never had to wait that long before. The floor was so sopping wet I couldn’t believe it.”

Should You Buy It?

With over 60 reviews on Amazon.com, with an average rating of 3.5 stars, you might want to think twice about purchasing the Proheat 2x deep cleaner.

Sure, it is priced at a good price, but at the same time there are a lot of small problems with the machines.

Sure, there is no perfect carpet cleaner, but you want to get one that is going to work well when you get it, not one that has a lot of problems.
