No more back and forth with the spray can and wimpy dry vacuum to get out tough carpet stains. ProHeat's hot, cleansing formula and extremely powerful suction work together to quickly remove tough carpet stains and embedded debris in a single pass. Ten rows of powerful brushes agitate ground-in dirt and bring it to the surface, while a wide floor nozzle with a 12-inch cleaning path extracts all traces for spotless results every time. Innovative edge-sweep brushes clean flush with walls without scratching. The ProHeat 2X is equipped with ultra-smooth wheels and an extra-long, 30-foot power cord for optimal maneuverability. Perfect for cleaning carpet, upholstery, and stairs, the ProHeat features an innovative Tough Stain tool for cleaning up gummy messes and restoring carpet to factorylike newness. Other features include a heater switch, heat indicator light, carrying handle, easy-to-clean nozzle, and 2-in-1 tank as well as 12 amps of cleaning power. Your purchase includes the stain-removing tool, a bare-floor tool, a trial-size stain cleaner and fiber cleansing formula, and Scotchgard for keeping that carpet perfectly clean. Bissell ProHeat models all feature a patented built-in heater that will heat the hot tap water you put in up to 25 degrees hotter to safely optimize cleaning effectiveness. The heater will never allow the temperature to exceed 190 degrees. The Heater switch on the front of the machine controls the heater so you have the option to turn off the heat if you are cleaning delicate wool or Oriental rugs. The two DirtLifter PowerBrush rollers are designed to enhance cleaning performance. The bristle pattern safely lifts out the deep-down dirt while gently grooming carpet fibers. The floating suspension self-adjusts to all carpet heights and protects your carpet if you leave the power switch on. Once the product is in the Upright position, the brushes automatically stop spinning. The Detent Pedal will activate the brush when floor cleaning.

I bought this after getting a dog. If you have pets you gotta get one of these. I use mine all the time because it's so easy to use.
It won't get every spot clean, but then again noting will. Even with the best machines, spot treating and a little elbow grease is required. I would recommend this to anyone looking a very good unit a good price.
Not worth the money:
I had a good 3-4 uses from this steam cleaner before it started to cause problems. My ecru colored carpet which was dirty from usual wear and tear from my family and dogs cleaned up pretty good the first few times I bought this cleaner in November of 2007. I was very happy with it initially. Then it began to leak cleaning solution and the water would not come out to rinse the soap from the carpet. Here I am almost a year later, and the thing turns on, heats water, and does nothing else. no water,no soap,no... more info
Works very well.:
This machine works very well, and gets our carpets very clean. I have to go over the carpets a few times, but then they really are like new. The reservoir is a pretty good size. The minuses? The unit is pretty heavy. After a couple of rooms, your arm has had a workout. On the other hand this means the brushes are actually getting into the carpet. Another problem is that the soap reservoir is not easy to fill since the opening is small, and you can't set it down to pour cleaner into as it has a... more info
Read the Instuctions:
This is my second Bissel... the first one ended up with a frozen pump because I left it sit all winter with cleaning fluid in the pump...
(1) after using, you are supposed to turn it to "rinse and run straight water through it so that the cleaner doesn't gunk up the pump... according to the directions. I had the pump repaired but it didn't work very long.
(2) The Bissel is not meant to pick up what your vacuum cleaner was supposed to pick up before the steam clean. VACUUM THE FLOORS THOROUGHLY.... more info
