Bissell Revolution HydroSteam Carpet Cleaner

We originally purchased a shark carpet cleaner that was incredible. The suction was so strong that the carpet lifted from the floor and was immediately dry. The motor died after 3 months. We then bought this one and I’ve regretted not getting another shark every day since. We have a senior dog who is now incontinent and we use this a lot. The suction on it is just awful and it sprays a lot of water at once, so the carpet stays wet for like 48 hours. I just hate this thing. Even though we spent a lot on it, I think I may just go buy another shark since it’s significantly better in quality.

I liked this product when I first got it but after many many uses, it’s definitely not the best cleaner I’ve used. The suction isn’t very strong and have to do multiple passes to pick up most of the solution, the bristles don’t get into the carpet enough and I find I have to use a lot of the solution just to pick up any stain I have on my carpet. It also gets so much pet hair in all of the crevices that I have to clean mid use and after each use to keep it clean. I do like that the suction part on the front detaches and exposes everything but still a big hassle. I’d rather it spit out the pet hair so I can just pick it up after I’m done cleaning. I also think it sits too low to the ground so the under side gets really wet and continues to wet the carpet or maybe it leaks? Also, this machine is actually heavy so a pain to bring up the stairs compared to other models. Hoover Power Scrub is by far superior although a little outdated with the design.

Easy to use and very good at advertised functions.

Leaves a bit more water in the carpet, but other than that the steam is great.

This machine cleans really well! And I love how much water is removed from the carpet. Also with pet hair it does not leave all the clumps of pet hair on the carpet while cleaning. Overall great machine!

The good. For a consumer grade cleaner, this is built fairly well. Assembly was very simple. The clean tank is easy to use as is the dirty water tank. It does very good picking up pet hair. Maintenance across the board is simple and the pieces come apart easily to allow getting out hair and dirt. The bad Suction. The suction on this cleaner is very poor. I verified that the dirty water tank and roller cover was properly seated. I did a couple sections of carpet using a gallon of clean water each. One pulled out 60 ounces from the carpet and the other 48 ounces. Over half of the water was left in the carpet. I can go behind with a Shop Vac and still pull water out of the carpet. Our last Bissel roll around cleaner sucked GREAT. Nothing like this.

This thing is awesome!! I pulled up so much murky water from my carpets I thought were relatively clean! So satisfying. Seems that areas I hit in the morning were dry by evening. It steams too, which I really like. It is heavy and bulky but super easy to use.

This model does a better job and is more convenient and useful than the previous model we had that quit working.

It worked exactly as the company said it would. We cleaned an area rug that a cat had peed on and it got the smell out and cleaned the rug.

Not the model you see in the reviews it is not as good as the ones sold at other stores

The steam works great in combination with any solution. Only huge issue I have is that the steam is only for the vacuum and not the hose. Any handheld attachment will not have steam. I ready everything I could find and no where does it mention this. I went to spot treat a small area on my couch and in parentheses (when I was reading how to use) found the words “steam does not work with hose”. What a joke! Sadly, disappointed. They put it in the fine print of the manual that the hose does not have steam. I bought this to replace my steam cleaner and shop vac that I had to drag out to spot clean. I got tired of dragging these two things out and wanted a 1 trick pony. Well this pony bucked me! Wish I could return. It’s used and there is technically nothing wrong with it.

Bought this to clean our rugs which haven't been cleaned in over a year. When I rent a rug doctor the first water is opaque black and it gets progressively lighter as the rugs get cleaner (repeat the cleaning probably 4 times until the water is clear). With this rug cleaner the water starts out as dirty as between the second and third pass with a rug doctor. So it's not pulling out nearly as much dirt. It also doesn't saturate to the back of the rug, except in areas that are soaked and then it can't pull the all the water out with multiple dry passes. So, it works OK. I'm disappointed in how much dirt it brings out, but I guess if I cleaned the rugs every other month they might get as clean as my once a year rental (without having to rent, but much more work). I'd recommend just renting a professional grade rug doctor cleaner over buying this, unless you want to clean your carpet just OK all the time. (The water in the picture is the first pass, it should be muchhh darker with 3 indoor dogs and a farm).

I didn’t know they made 3 different model Numbers with the same name. So this is not the shampoo machine I intended on purchasing. There is a better model at Lowe’s for 100 more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is a well made product that looks modern and sleek. I love the rose gold accent. The machine was user friendly with an intuitive user guide. It was very easy to set up, break down, and clean. I also appreciated the long cord for ease of use. It was not too loud, easy to push, and cleaned very well. I was shocked at how black and dirty the water was after using it. The built in pretreat hydro steam was a nice feature but unfortunatley was not enough to get out some of the stains left behind by my two toddler boys. These were marker stains and mystery goo. In all honesty though, i don't believe that anything could have helped with those. It worked well on removing the standard dirt and beverage stains. I just love the hydrosteam feature either way. The 2 in self cleaning tool made it easier to clean chairs and couches; however it did not clean as well as compared to other bissell machines designed for this use specifically. With that being said it gets the job done without having to have a whole different machine when cleaning multiple surfaces. My rationale for giving 4 stars instead of 5 was that the first machine i used leaked water out of the bottom when it was not in use. I easily recieved a replacement product which driped out water from the bottom but not to the extent where i would call it a leak. Overall i would recommend this machine specifically because it does such a good job at cleaning and is so user feiendly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Bissell Revolution Hydrosteam Wet Dry Vacuum. I have to say that I was honestly blown away by how well it worked. We have a dog and 3 small children. There’s stains in our rugs that have been there for years. I tried everything to remove them with no success. This vacuum literally removed all those stains. It’s like I have brand new carpets again. Now I look forward to cleaning my carpets because they actually look clean when I’m done. So if you haven’t tried this Vacuum yet I suggest you run, not walk and get yourself one today. You’ll be so glad you did and your carpets will definitely thank you for it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m blown away by the efficacy of this carpet/upholstery cleaner. It quite literally ate up some pet stains that we previously had difficulty treating. 10/10 for this product. Easily cleaned and maintained, easy to operate, overall highly satisfied.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is a perfect carpet cleaner. It has a steam cycle along with its regular water cycle and it cleans much more thoroughly than any smaller carpet cleaner we have had. It is a bit heavy but works like a beast. It has all the attachments, for upholstery or stairs comes along with two tanks and cleaning solution. The cleaning of the machine and the accessories were all easy to clean after use. If you want to deep clean your carpets and keep them clean this is the best bang for your buck. We could not believe how much more dirty water this machine was pulling up out of my carpet. It pulled up stains that I thought would never ever come out. The Water Tank capacity is pretty good, I wanted a deeper clean and the tank capacity was easy to switch out and get back to work. No leakpage, good storage capacity, it is easy to use, it is built to Bissell high quality threshold, has lots of power and works beautifully.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used the vacuum now a few times to help clean up larger messes on carpet and furniture. Overall, the machine does a great job with cleaning up the mess and removing stains. It was very easy to use and made cleaning up much faster. The machine itself is a little bulky but light enough to roll and carry around. The hydro steam feature helped to tackle messed easier. I was able to get a food stain out of carpet very easily. I also used it to clean up a pet stain on furniture and it was very fast. The self cleaning tool made it easier to clean the machine after using.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of 3 wild children and 3 dogs we’re definitely no strangers to messes,stains,and spills. Thankfully the bissell hydrosteam has been super easy to use, the cleaning tool made cleaning the couch so much easier. I’ve used it on our bedroom carpet, a rug, and our couches so far and it has been a game changer for my cleaning process. It’s lightweight and easy to clean after each use. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new cleaning tool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I moved into a home with wall to wall carpeting in most rooms a couple years ago. Between my dog and my toddler, it’s needless to say the carpets had been stained in lots of places. I was so excited to use this in my living room. It was easy to put together and very satisfying to see the stains come up and my carpet look like new again. The tool that comes with it also helped me cleaning brown microfiber couch, which also had some spots that I wouldn’t get out with a regular cloth . This is a game changer for parents especially if you have light colored carpeting.
