Review of Bissell Auto Care ProHeat Compact Multi-Purpose Deep Cleaner, 14254

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used the Little Green Machine in the past and bought this to use on the cars that I detail and small stains on rugs in the house. I use it for small areas which are soiled with coffee or soda. I bought it because it had a higher amperage rating than the Green Machine. I have used it and it works very well for small areas. The water heater is just OK and I find that using an external source like an external sprayer and brush to loosen and wet the stain/dirt works the best; then I use the Bissell to suck up all the residue. I like the power of the suction and it works well. The dirty water tank has a cut off feature that will "pop" when filled to the limit which is nice, so you won't overfill it. After using it I clean it out any leftover dirt or stuff in the hose, tank or fittings. I know some reviews have said that it doesn't work well or clogs, but I have found that taking a little time to clean it out when done will eliminate most of those problems. Good for smaller areas; best to use proper cleaner for the stains.

Review of Nature's Miracle Stain and Odor Remover

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This stuff is so awesome! I wound up with quite the large puppy. She was house broken but only if she had constant access to a yard. We didn't. Needless to say she soiled everywhere. I used puppy training pads to soak it up (ironic). Once the liquid was absorbed into the pad, I just sprayed this on the stain, let it sit for about 15 minutes, gave it a quick wipe and stain and odor were GONE! I mean it, there is no stain and no odor left anywhere. You can't even tell where they were and there were ALOT. It's an amazing product and works better than I ever expected.

Review of Bissell Little Green ProHeat Compact Multi-Purpose Deep Cleaner, 14259

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reading reviews on Amazon, I sent my grandson to buy locally the Bissell SpotBot Pet Carpet Cleaner.He had not seen what I wanted, and brought this home by mistake.It is the best spot carpet cleaner we could want.The power brush works well, and the vacuum extracts the filth and water, so the restored carpet dries quickly.My house is a severe test, since we have multiple pets, and the less said the better.We have used other carpet-cleaning products with this, besides the little bottle included, and they work well, and the machine has not clogged.

Review of Bissell 14005 Little Green Compact Carpet Cleaner

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bissell 14005 Little Green verses Hoover F5411 Steamvac Jr.

I've used both of these mini shampooers and was not entirely satisfied with either, but I preferred the Bissell's Little Green over Hoover's Steamvac Jr. and here's why:

I first had the Little Green for about five years.It was a great little vac with only minor problems.The fill and empty containers are removable from the unit for convenient filling and emptying.There is a cord winder built onto the unit, the hose wraps conveniently around the unit and locks into place, and the shape and size are convenient for most applications including stairs and storage.

The problems I had with the Little Green:
- It would occasionally leak a bit.The water seemed to be coming from where the hose connects to the base.It was a small drip leak that was easily solved by emptying the clean water tank after each use.We used ours so frequently that I sometimes left clean water in the tank during storage to avoid wasting cleaning solution.
- My biggest problem with the Little Green was the inability to completely clean the dirty water tank.I had four cats when I first bought the Little Green and eventually had four kids.The Little Green made it through a number of illnesses with us above and beyond pet accidents.The dirty water tank became filthy and unsanitary and was not designed to be dismantled for thorough cleaning.Eventually, the smell became too great and I had to dispose of the tank.I decided it was time to try a new spot shampooer - one that had a cleanable tank.

That's when I decided to try the Hoover Steamvac Jr.Both the Little Green and the Hoover spray and suck reasonably well for a small machine.As far as actual cleaning quality, the two are comparable.However, I found the Hoover to be bulky and a pain and its only redeeming quality, in my opinion, was that I am able to thoroughly clean the dirty water tank.

The problems I had with the Hoover F5411 Steamvac Jr.:
- The tanks are the base of the unit and are not removable.In order to fill the clean water tank, you have to either maneuver the entire unit under the faucet and aim at a one inch hole in the portion of the unit that houses the motor, or you have to dismantle the machine and still maneuver the largest part of it under your faucet or use a bucket.
- The tanks are a single bucket-style unit separated by a divider.They are not individual parts.When you dump the dirty water, if you have the unit fully assembled, the clean water will slosh around.If you dismantle the machine to empty it, you will also be emptying the clean water tank.
- The top portion that houses the motor also has a filter that sits down in the dirty water tank, so if you dismantle the machine to fill or empty it, you are forced to place the motor housing with hose and cord in a tub or sink or get your floor dirty and wet.
- The machine is round.It doesn't fit well on stairs nor is it a convenient shape to store.
- There is no cord storage on this unit and no convenient way to store the cord or keep it out of your way when you are filling, emptying, or storing.You can wrap it around the base of the handle, but it usually does not stay in place if you empty the tank and tends to get in the way of using the handle to carry the machine.
- The Steamvac Jr. does have a spot to store the hose, but I find it an inconvenient and cumbersome position.

I'm currently saving my pennies to buy another Little Green.The little Hoover just makes me more angry than satisfied and I've taken to simply letting stains set in instead of hassle with the obnoxious machine.

I would recommend avoiding the Proheat Little Green.It seems the parts are not designed to work well with the heat and tend to break down.Hot tap water in the standard Little Green works well and this is coming from a germaphobe whose hands are raw from overwashing.If it's clean enough for me, it's probably more than clean enough for you.If you're looking for a spot shampooer, the Little Green is your best bet.

Review of Bissell SpotBot ProHeat Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner, 12U9A

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have two dogs and two boys.Our youngest dog is a 1 year old beagle, who has been very difficult to potty train!Needless to say, a carpet cleaner is a must-have for us.It is used many times during the week.Prior to the SpotBot, we used way to many paper towels for cleaning up messes that we didn't have time to clean with the large machine.

The fact that we already have a full-size carpet cleaner, that works well, is why we did not buy one of these sooner.I am betting that many others are in the same situation, or are debating between this or a full size cleaner, so this is where I will begin:

First, I will focus on the downfalls of using our full-size carpet cleaner for a small spot/stain-
1) Its size!With as much as we use it, it is not ideal to lug it up and down the stairs of our two floor house.This is especially the case when spots need cleaned both upstairs and downstairs at the same time.
2) The hose on the Hoover model we have is a royal pain.It takes several steps to switch the machine over to use the hand tool. It is a pain to clean. We avoid having to use it because of this. That means we usually end up scrubbing chairs and the stairs by hand, as it is less of a hassle.(If you go for a full-size model, consider looking for one where you do not need the extra steps to switch between the floor and hose modes!)
3) The dirty water holder is large.We usually use the bathtub to clean it.Going through all this trouble for a little stain sucks, especially when you have to do it as often as we do.
4) You should vacuum before using a carpet cleaner.This usually is not a problem for dry stains.However, you cannot vacuum over a wet pet accident!With the full-size cleaner, it is very difficult to just clean one area.We usually end up cleaning a 2'x3' area that surrounds the stain...an un-vacuumed 2'x3' area.This results in dog hair in parts of the carpet cleaner where it does not belong. Again, it is a pain to clean.
5) We cannot leave this machine sitting on a carpeted area.The left-over water from the brushes and such leave a wet spot. We usually move the machine to a hard floor before we even turn it off.

Now, onto the SpotBot-
1) The size is great.It is SOOO much easier to carry around the house and up and down the stairs.
2) It is very easy to switch from the automatic mode to the manual mode (where you use the hose.) Because of this, I do not hesitate to use it for quick clean-ups on the stairs, on our dining room chairs, or in the car. The hand tool is a cinch to clean when you are through, partly because it is not as long as the full-size models.
3) The dirty water bin is easily dumped and cleaned in the sink.It can be carried with one hand.
4) It is not always ideal to vacuum before cleaning.It is easy to clean just the stained area without involving the area around it.
5) We leave the SpotBot out of the way in our dining room for quick access.We have had no problems with it leaking.Now that I have explained why this has been so much easier than our full-sized cleaner, here are some more observations of the SpotBot:

1. There are 3 models of the SpotBot.From what I can tell, they are all almost identical except the Pet model comes with pet cleaning solution and the ProHeat has a water heater.The original does not have Microban protection, whereas the Pet and ProHeat do. (Hint: Compare specs and the pictures of the lady using the machine on Bissell's website.)

--If you plan on getting fresh hot water every time you use the machine, I would pass on the ProHeat model.Consider if you want the Microban protection to decide between the green and pet models.
--If you have a pet, you can get the green model and buy your own pet solution.However, the green one does not have the Microban protection, so it may be worth getting the Pet model.
--If you plan on having the machine ready all the time, get the ProHeat (red) model.The water heater function will heat the water/cleaning solution that has been sitting in the tank since your last use.I have been happy with the heat function.It may not heat it to scorching hot, but warm water still is better than cold.

2.As others have noted, the automatic function does not do the best job at sucking up all the water.It is not much trouble to use the hose to suck up the remaining water.The only downside of this is the need to rinse out the hand attachment after you are through.Even that isn't a big deal and it only takes a second.

3.There are two cycles, plus the manual option.The surface stain cycle runs about 3 minutes, the set-in stain cycle runs about 6 minutes.The machine really does most of the work for you!It was not a primary reason for our purchase, but WOW...this machine has really saved us a ton of work!!!Because this machine is so simple and quick to use, every single pet stain has been properly cleaned.No paper towels have been wasted.

4.A full solution tank lasts about two of the longer 6 minute cycles.It lasts for about 4 of the shorter cycles.

5.The automatic function does an EXCELLENT job.It has gotten out ever spill and every old stain we have used it on.The hand tool does a decent job, though not as good of a job as the automatic function.This may be because I do not scrub one spot for 6 minutes.In fact, I don't think I ever went over the same spot with our full-sized machine for 6 minutes...LOL!

6.If your carpets have not been cleaned in a while, this machine may clean so well that you will have a ring of clean carpet.I noticed a slight ring when I used the SpotBot on a stain in a high-traffic area.For us, this is not a huge issue because we have our carpets professionally cleaned ever 6-12 months and use our full-sized machine in between.

7.This unit is only intended for cleaning small areas.The circle is 8" in diameter, and the area it cleans is approximately 6-7".A full-sized carpet cleaner will be your best bet for cleaning large areas.This machine is better than the full-sized unit for cleaning up individual stains.

8.We only use MAYBE half the recommended cleaner.The stains still come out!I recommend experimenting with this so that you are not using more cleaner than you actually need to.

Since we usually have this ready at all times, when an accident does happen it couldn't be easier!We just grab the machine, plug it in, set it on the stain, and push a button.We carry on with whatever we were doing until the cycle ends.Then, we attach the hand tool to the hose, suck up the excess water, dump and rinse the storage tank, and we are ready for next time!

I think I covered the questions I had before our purchase!I highly recommend this machine!

Review of Bissell 0801 Oxy GEN2 Multi Purpose Oxygen Boost -32oz

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I hate to burst everyone's bubble.I've used this product with my Spotbot, because it came with it.I've used it in my Hoover Steamvac.I've used both the Spotbot and Steamvac without it.I have two kids and a dog that pees everywhere and I see no difference.

Spotbot is an excellent spot cleaner and it works perfectly well without OxyGen.I get all sorts of spots out with it and no need for OxyGen.Perhaps that's why everyone is getting such marvelous results.It's the Spotbot with regular detergent, not the OxyGen.

One big drawback to using OxyGen is the Spotbot manual instructs us to discard the unused solution if it contains OxyGen, meaning I can't leave it in my Spotbot.I don't have to do that with plain regular detergent.Since I must mix the OxyGen with water and detergent, I have to discard the detergent and OxyGen, which feels like a waste.

Personally, I don't think this product does any harm.It just doesn't do much good.Spend the extra money elsewhere.
