Testimonial

"After 4 months I'm still very pleased with the Dupray One. Cleans kitchen and bath surfaces thoroughly without chemicals. The most amazing result so far has been the tile floor in the kitchen and dining areas. A remarkable difference with how clean the grout and tile are. Needed patience to remove years of built up dirt but now maintaining is a breeze. Next up the windows." - David

Testimonial

"I promise you, I am not one to write reviews, so for me to take the time and write one for others to know about it, it's either going to be absolutely amazing or horrible. I love this thing. I just got it today. I opened it up and assembly is a breeze. (There pretty much is nothing to assemble outside of the attachment storage.) Lets just say I have a recently diagnosed diabetic dog that is just starting to get her insulin regulated, so the poor thing has been having accidents and multiple at that. My old carpet cleaner went kaput and I was in need of a new one and after some debate, I decided to go with this bad boy and I am so happy I did. I am in complete awe at how much it erased the stains after one swipe. It will take some getting used to to not have to do the repetitive back and forth movements, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. It's so much less work after all! I took the guys advice that posted about using laundry detergent....I'm not gonna lie, I like it. And it makes the house smell amazing. Let the photos speak for themselves..." - Jyma

Testimonial

"I bought this as my puppy was having 5Xdaily accidents and my apartment is a combination of hardwood floors, and Berber Shag... whatever that material is. That being said, I was only aware of the industrial cleaners and never needed a spot bot. After my little French Bulldog made a plethora of wet and dry accidents, I was sure my carpets were ruined. I will say, after using this tool not only on my carpets, but my upholstery, it is a god send! It has great suction power, has a feeling of a ROOMBA as you can just leave it be and let is de-destroy the stain and leave a fresh clean area to work on. My only complaint is the excessive wetness of the area, however that is to be expected.

My home has never smelled better or been better. I highly recommend and so does my little pup... as I no longer fear when accidents happen. I am also buying the Bissell handheld machine for quick messes.

Buy and never regret!" - RM

Testimonial

"IF YOU OWN A HOME WITH CARPETS THIS IS A MUST OWN. Seriously, it is a rare product that exceeds expectations. I went over carpet that had multiple years worth of urine and poo stains from dogs and potty training/accidents/wee pads etc. This literally erased all of it and not only brought back the carpets to pre-dog era but brought back the original plush texture I didnt even know the carpet had. The professional service used before I moved in didnt do near the job this machine did. I also only had to use about 1/4 of a $20 bottle of bissel pet formula cleaner solution and refill the tank twice. Not bad at all. While $300-400 for one seems like a lot it is a great investment since these have a long warranty and rentals cost about $30 PER DAY at many places. This machine will pay for itself and still look brand new unlike those gross dirty rental units with who knows what germs and filth residue hidden within..Do yourself a favor and buy this thing. I do not work for/have stock in/even really like much bissell stuff but this machine is totally unreal and a superb product and I really do believe it is a must own." - Jadon

Testimonial

"We received our carpet cleaner yesterday and we had to try it out. I wasn't so sure about the machine because frankly it wasn't like the old ones I have used in the past, mainly like a vacuum cleaner. I was pleasantly surprised. It is easy to use and it cleans great. From what I have read in other reviews it either works great or not at all. I did use it again today and it wouldn't start and I thought oh here we go, but I figured out in a short amount of time that I had to reset the machine at the source (the plug) then it was fine. The suction is so very good. We have area carpets and when I put the machine at the end you can see the carpet leave the floor. It is easy to fill even though it really is not a 3 gallon tank, and it is easy to dump the dirty water. Emptying out the clean water when you have water left over is not the most convenient but hooking up the sprayer for the upholstery attachment is so easy and then all you have to do is hold the sprayer over the sink and spray the water out of the clean water tank. So all and all I find this to be a much better cleaner than the rest. Also the warranty is 5 years, not a year like most of the rest. The main thing is to read the directions before you use it and you will be all set. I am glad we purchased this carpet cleaner." - AC

Testimonial

"Absolutely love this cleaner! I bought for my car since my daughter spills milk and everything else on my seats. Also for the carpet. It is totally worth the price! I wanted to take my car in to get cleaned but it would’ve been the same price as this.. and you can use this more than once! My mother tried using a cleaner from a store she rented to get this big old stain out and nothing. One try and this worked! You can’t wven tell this big black stain was there." - Brenda

Testimonial

"So far, this product has been great. I love the hot water clean it does, and you can see the difference it makes immediately. This thing put my vacuum to shame with all the stuff it pulled up from deep in the carpet. I was very thorough with my initial clean of my carpet, but it felt like the water/soap reservoir drained really quickly. My next project will be trying it on my car's carpet, using the lift-away function. I will continue to use it and update this review as it gets older." - Zack

Testimonial

"I have a cat with advanced kidney disease who sometimes chooses the bedroom carpet rather than her 4 litter boxes. I have been using, or should I say fighting with a carpet cleaning machine that's about 5 years old and a different brand. It was very inconvenient and finicky to set up, very unpleasant to clean, and not all that good at cleaning the carpet. I gave myself the Bissell ProHeat as a birthday gift for myself--and the cat. I put it together and cleaned the bedroom carpet this morning. It was quick and intuitive to set up and start cleaning. Emptying the dirty water and cleaning the machine took just a few minutes, and the design allows the machine to be thoroughly cleaned, unlike my previous machine. Since it will no longer be such an unpleasant production to clean up my cat's accidents, I know I'll be more patient with her. Both of us will be happier." - P. Jenkins

Testimonial

"This works much better than other hand held carpet cleaners I have tried (several of them). The suction is much stronger, so the water you spray actually comes out of the carpet instead of just soaking even further in. I only use the smaller attachment, because the suction is weaker with the other attachment. If there was something spilled on the floor that I really want cleaned up well, I suction before blotting. The attachment with the cup that attaches can be used for that purpose if there is urine on the carpet. You don't want straight up urine going completely through the hose." - Michelle
