We don't recommend this, as some cleaning products may not be suitable.

When you buy 3 bottles of BISSELL Cleaning Formula, you receive the cheapest one for free. You can "mix and match", you don't have to buy 3 of the same formula. To take advantage of this offer, you must add 3 bottles of cleaning formula to your basket, and then the discount will be applied when you checkout. This offer only applies to BISSELL Cleaning Formulas - machines, accessories, and bundles are not included.

This is not recommended, as wool carpets can be extremely delicate. Check with the carpet manufacturer before cleaning.

Model and serial numbers are printed on a label, which is usually located on the back or on the base of the unit. The serial number follows the model number.

When it comes to convenience, there is no comparison. Owning your own machine means you can clean when it fits your schedule - you're not tied to someone else's schedule or a store's 24-hour return policy. Besides, spills and pet accidents don't happen on a planned basis and the sooner they're cleaned, the better. But beyond convenience, when you add up the continuous cost of professional cleaning of several machine rentals, the initial cost of a BISSELL Carpet Cleaner is quickly recouped.

When using our full size upright deep cleaning machines (such as the ProHeat 2X Revolution), typically a 10' x 12' room can be cleaned before the dirty water tank needs to be emptied and new cleaning formula and fresh water need to be added. With our smaller upright deep cleaning machines (such as InstaClean Compact or HydroWave), typically an 8' x 8' area can be cleaned before the dirty water tank needs to be emptied and new cleaning formula and fresh water need to be added. These amounts will vary based on how much water/solution you are releasing onto your cleaning surface.

Some deep cleaners, such as the upright InstaClean Compact or the HydroWave, are better suited to cleaning small areas and everyday messes and spills. If you are planning to clean your entire home, it would be better to choose a full-sized deep cleaner, such as the ProHeat 2X Revolution.

Watch a video on what to do if the ProHeat 2X® Revolution® Pet Pro has no suction in the foot:

We cannot say exactly, as it depends on how much the trigger is pressed during the cleaning process, but approximately 2-3 average size rooms. When filling the clean water tank with water and formula, there are two measurement lines - one for water and one for formula (some formulas also have a measuring cap), to ensure you are using the correct amount of both. When cleaning large areas that require more than one tank, it is best practice to let the tank empty before refilling with fresh water and formula to ensure the mix is balanced to recommendations.

Watch a video on what to do if the ProHeat 2X® Revolution® Pet Pro does not have hose suction:

Our Carpet Cleaning Formulas, including the Wash & Protect, Wash & Refresh and Wash & Remove ranges, can be used in all upright carpet cleaners - even in non-BISSELL machines. The Spot Cleaning formulas are only for use in BISSELL portable/handheld carpet cleaners or Spot Cleaners.

If your carpet cleaner has the "Express Mode", this will allow your carpets to dry in approx. 30 minutes. For other cleaning modes, or if your Upright Carpet Cleaner does not have "Express Mode", we would advise approximately 3-4 hours depending on weather conditions. To reduce drying time, open windows and doors if possible to improve ventilation.

For the most part, our machines are 1 h.p. and 6 amps. However, the cleaning and suction power is not directly related to horsepower or amp rating. BISSELL Deep Cleaning machines are so effective and powerful because of the design of our unique patented nozzle head and intake system.
