My one year old Bissell Proheat is finally breaking! It's staring to leak dirty water and dog hair is stuck in the nozzle. It's extremely gross and I'm ready to buy a new one. The Proheat was fine other than two things:
1. The Bissell had terrible suction at the nozzle. I have compact vacuums that have better airflow that it. So I need something that will suck up water! 2. The rotating brush is called a 'floating head' brush. The brush moves up when you place it on the carpet. So with the brush barely touching the carpet, it defeats the propose of the brush! I understand why Bissell made it that way, but with low-pile it does not work. I need a stationary brush for sure. It seems like they took a vacuum and added a water pump to it. This is my second bad experience with Bissell,so I want to stay away from them. Any suggestions? I thinking about going Hoover. It's hard to go wrong with a Hoover........ |

I have had my Hoover Dual V for just over two years now and it has given me no problems at all! People on here complain about them a lot, and say they are really loud, but it is great! And just as loud as any other carpet cleaner on the market. It also uses two separate tanks for clean water and soap, so it conserves the amount of soap you use! I strongly recommend it. We payed $189 for it at Kohls. It is the red model, I think it is a bottom of the line model.

Hoover, Bissell, and Royal, says the Royal has almost zero issues even 5 yrs later. |

Get these models! Those are mdl #s F5914-900 (has Clean Surge & SpinScrub hand tool) F5915-900 (same as F5914 but no SpinScrub hand tool) time-tested & not a problem like the Platinum |

How good are these? SpinScrub 60 & SpinScrub77; I hope they're better than the Platinum? I'm happy with SpinScrub classic (SpinScrub 50) other than now it leaks. |
