Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was very disappointed with the Bissell Little Green Proheat Cleaner Model 1425-9 for many reasons. First of all, I thought it was some sort of "cleaner". It's just a small vacuum with a brush and cleaning solution. I don't know how it achieves "deep" cleaning. You basically spray the spot you want to clean, manually brush the surface with the "tough stain brush", and attempt to suck up some of the solution with the weak suction vacuum. A user could probably improve the process using a spray cleaner like Resolve, brush the spot with a nylon bristle brush, and vacuum it up with a wet/dry shop vac. There's nothing magical or thorough about this model. This Proheat version is supposed to heat the water. It never reaches a temperature hotter than the water I get out of the faucet. There are some basic design flaws. The spray trigger on the "tough stain brush" is in the way when I try to apply pressure to the head to vacuum up the cleaning solution. The cleaning brushes, vacuum hose, and power cord attach to the back of the unit without any particular plan in mind, making it awkward and flimsy. The nylon brushes on the tough stain tool and the 2-in-1 crevice tool will not last long and to replace them the whole tool would have to be replaced.
