Bissell’s upright carpet cleaner drops to $209.99 in October sale

The Verge ·

A Bissell upright carpet cleaner has gone on sale during October Prime Day, with its price reduced to $209.99 from $279.99. The sale is noteworthy because the reviewer, who previously used a smaller spot-cleaning model, found that cleaning individual areas highlighted the contrast with uncleaned carpet, necessitating a full carpet clean and prompting an upgrade to a more powerful machine.

The ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus includes deep-cleaning brushes, large water and solution reservoirs, and an accessory port for hose attachments, combining the features of the smaller model with greater cleaning power. Additional costs include cleaning solution at approximately $23 per bottle, with the machine available through Amazon, Bissell's website and other retailers during the October Prime Day promotion.

Carpet cleaning machines serve different purposes, from small portable units that handle individual stains to larger upright models designed for comprehensive carpet cleaning. The smaller spot-cleaning devices are convenient for quick fixes but can reveal a problem: once treated, cleaned areas stand out sharply against soiled carpet, making the entire floor appear dirtier. This contrast often prompts household owners to undertake full-carpet cleaning, requiring equipment with greater power and capacity.

The Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus represents the more comprehensive approach, featuring deep-cleaning brushes, large water and solution reservoirs, and attachment ports for extended reach. These larger models are particularly valued by households with pets, where carpets accumulate dirt and stains more frequently and thoroughly than in pet-free homes. Such machines address cleaning needs that smaller spot-cleaners cannot handle effectively.

Ownership of these machines involves ongoing expenses beyond the initial purchase price. Cleaning solutions required for the machines typically cost around $23 per bottle, representing a significant running cost over time. The machines are available through multiple retailers including Amazon and Bissell's official channels.
