Are you satisfied with this model? I'm trying to decide between this and Bissell Proheat 2X which is more $$. THANKS!

I am satisfied as far as the carpet cleaning, but I bought the bare floor attachment and I am not satisfied with the outcome of my bare floors. Out of 5 stars, I would give 3.75 at this point

We are happy with it. One issue is that on the Amazon site it indicated a 3 year warranty but the box actually says 2 year warranty. Also we had to bring it in for a warranty repair because i pulled the little screen gasket out that is not suppose to come out and could not get the gasket in. On our old model the screen just came out to wash, this one you wipe in place.

Perfectly satisfied. Cleans up with ease. Easy to clean machine. Excellent design. One to two passes makes for a very clean carpet. My son in Seattle has the $300+ Bissell and I'd say they are very close in final clean job.

This one has great extraction, which is the key part of a carpet cleaner. I have owned dozens of carpet cleaners and have seen no difference from more expensive models.

That's a good question but one I can't answer. I have had nothing but trouble with my Bissell cleaner. Usually it doesn't work and when it does, it leaks water in streaks. I wish I had returned it but it's been more than a year. Good luck!

I went to a professional vacuum cleaning shop, they have been in business over 50 years, I asked the guy is the Dyson the best vacuum and he kind of chuckled and said come with me, he took me through this maze in the back of his shop outside to the boneyard where a huge pile of Dyson's we're piled high, does that answer your question? He said. He went on to say it's a piece of junk, high maintenance and costs a lot of money to clean after about three years of use said go with the sanitaire or an Oreck. I went with the Oreck due too it's lightweight and having a two-story, I love it does the job perfect.

I know quite a few people have said some negative things about this mixer, but my friend has this mixer and uses it daily and has never had a problem with it. I just ordered one myself. If you check Breville's site it will give you the specs about the volts. there site is very informative. If you can't find the info there call customer service. They do answer the phone and are very helpful. this is a work horse. My friend makes bread daily and sugar free cakes for her diabetic children and father. Can't wait to get mine since I have the same plans for it. She has never had overheating or smoking problems and like I said she uses it daily for hours. Sometimes problems with a machine are due to the operator not the appliance. My Kitchen Aid Pro went back 10 different times.

I like mine very much. I wish it would have a longer timer but it works well. Take much less oil than another one that I have.

I had a Shark unit before the Haan and I gave it away pre-maturely because I no longer had wood floors. Now I have them again so I wanted to buy a better unit. The consumer buying guide rated this one at the top. So, I got it. It works well but it seems like the cheaper Shark produced more steam. I still like this one better because it heats up very fast and for the money you get a handheld that you can use in smaller places (ie. counter tops etc.). I'm happy. It's definitely better constructed than the Shark. Good luck.

If your canister shows this as an option, then by all means purchase this. Go online and look at the attachments offered by Bissell and if they say you can use this, then the price here might be better than Bissell can offer.

Yes, it is a great machine. Only issue is set up...it's a little challenging. Hope that helps.

I agree the Pet Hair Eraser is great has worked better than any other vaccum I have owned and I have had several the latest being oreck which a first i really liked but after awhile it did not preform so well. So I got the bissell and like I said it is great!

I am very happy with it. It is perfect for my floors but I will tell you that I won't be using it for anything else. It's too heavy to use for windows. Also the deflector nozzle comes with it to clean toilets etc. It did not work. This mop is is just that a mop but an excellent one. :)

Ours didn't seem to work correctly from day one, I purchased it on Amazon's Deal of the day, because it had a great rating on consumer reports. It has a five year warranty, ours is only 2.5 years old and I can't get Amazon or LG to fix or replace it.We have owned them all, I have come to the conclusion that your better off buying a $50.00 Bissell, and throwing it out when it breaks?

Yes, by far. The Dyson comes with a better warranty and will out last the Bissell.

I've used the Bissell--don't waste your money. I keep a large pan of water on the stove, once it has boiled i turn it down to keep it just under boiling. I have also heated water in the microwave. As fast as you go through a tank of water, it doesn't have time to get too cool. I know it says not to use water over 120 or 140 degrees, but I've never had a problem. The models that have actual heating elements don't keep the water as warm my methods doand they cost much, much more. As mentioned before, in order to get a real steam cleaner you are looking at several hundred dollars (conservatively speaking). I've used the Bissell--don't waste your money.

I am happy so far with my Bissell, I have not experienced any scratching, this little machine works like a big one, I have dogs and kids and no complaints on the ability of this vac. I also have allergies, however cannot give any suggestions on bag-vs-bagless. Hope this helps you out.

Now I'm confused. Some of you are saying the Bissell 3920 is the best vacuum ever while others are saying it's the worst. I'm not worried about the bulkiness or noise. My main concern is a strong suction effect to lift deep-down dirt and pet hair.

Mr. Starter, if you ended up purchasing this Hoover (or another canister vacuum model), what is your opinion of cleaning hardwood floors? I have the same dilemma.
