Bissell 9400E Proheat Select 2X

What an awful machine, a complete waste of money and time. Never again. Machine fails to spray water. Very very difficult to access the parts that needed de-clogging (as per youtube video), the heater is in the base and not the handle as the video shows. It worked the first few times but that was it and the machine was out of warranty.

Well ive been useing my proheat 4 2or3 years(used at least once a month) now and had no problems at all:)if you clean it right and treat it right it IS A GREAT cleaner.I even do my friends carpets for them and there amazed at the results..I can only assume you peps complaining dont know how to treat a quality machine:))and i use the cheapest solotions i can find:)

Had the BISSELL 9400 E for just over a year have paid for insurance twice now...has only ever worked once, suction never seems to work, been repaired twice each time we get it repaired it comes back to us not working!! Switched it on yesterday and it blew up. Really annoyed and disgusted with it and bissell...all in all a waste of around £400 including insurance.

The people on hear complaining about blockages suprise me. I had a similar problem once because I didnt clean the machine after I used it. I phoned there customer line and they told me how to fix it. It took less than 5 minutes to do and I didn't need any tools or anything.

The machine is quite big and heavy, so I have to get someone to lift it up the stairs for me, but it really does a greatjob and I am glad we got it. I paid about £250 for mine and it was worth every penny.

This machine total rubbish - it sounded great so I paid nearly £300 for it and have just tried to use it for the 3rd time only and the cleaning fluid doesn't come out etc. What a waste of my morning.

Complete and utter rubbish!

DONT EVER BUY ONE!

Used Blissell proheat 2x 4 times after buying it from new and the jets are now blocked. My advice is save your money or you will end up with an expensive piece of junk. Bissell should be ashamed of themselves for selling this piece of s..t to their customers. I certainly will not be buying any of their products again.

Bissell PROheat 2X (9400E) - During initial use performance was excellent, with great cleaning results, all carpets coming up like new. HOWEVER, our experience of reliability is the same as many of the other reviewers, pricipally blockage of floor spraying jets. I have just spent around half a day tracking down the last blockage (cleaner had been unused for about 6 months). Bissell recommend using only their shampoo and it is this that apparently produces the blocking sludge. Careful and thorough flushing through of whole system, including clean warm water in the 'formula' bottle minimises the reoccurrence, but does not eliminate the problem - I have got to know the internals of our machine exceedingly well! Machine not recommended for those who don't do DiY repairs!!

I bought a Bissell instead of a Vax due to the name, proved wrong with this, haven't had the problems with the spray as I usually rinse through with water at the end, the vac on it comes and goes as and when it wants, my brushes don't work now, stripped it down and can see nothing wrong belts everything looks fine, getting a professional in in future, not worth the time/hassle.

i have a bissel steam cleaner and have figured out the no spray problem that repair shops cant do -this repair is for after other easy things have been checked ie clogged nozzels and a blocked heater block broken belt-the problem is there is 2 hoses that run up to the heater block they run thru the handle and down to the tank/pump -the problem is the hoses get kinked behind the wheel on the left side of machine-the machine has to be taken apart and the 2 hoses rerouted to the heater block bypassing the wheel route. to do this i drilled a hole in the bottom of the base behind where tank goes and drilled hole in handle assem to route new hoses. you will have to buy new lengths of hose 5 bucks at harware store.leave slack in new hoses so handle will move freely when moved up and down.replace one hose at a time so you dont confuse where they go .the new hose routings are seen when all put together maybe not a factory look but it fixes the no spray problem.hope this helps takes about 2 hours to do if mechanicly inclined.p.s. clean heater block while you have this apart.

Totally agree with other reviews. Spray on the Bissell 9400E Proheat Select has stopped working even after trying all the trouble shooting suggestions. Would cost £85.00 to fix. Never again and very very disappointed
