Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This machine is ready to use almost right from the box. You need a phillips screwdriver for 3 screws and everything else snaps into place...perfect for the Mechanically Challenged such as ME. My sweetheart says; "There must be more to assembly", yes... it is that easy and the Alpha Male is disappointed that it does not take hours. The quick start instructions are perfect and have step by step pictures (that made me happy) and note the screws are taped to the handle so please don't go through everything again and again looking for them....Bissell thought everything out and made this EASY.

We started up the machine and worked on a dog urine stain, and this machine does as promised. Actually, it works as good as the professional cleaner we normally rent. It is easy to move when cleaning and the unit is self contained. The solution smells good too. There are tools for steps and furniture, and I don't believe I would any more than what is supplied. I like the fact that the water heats contineously. I have 3 dogs (yes..I am dog crazy) so we will use this quite a bit.

In the future I will update this review as I am eager to see if all this dog hair does not clog the machine. The instructions do say to vaccum ahead of cleaning and we have a Dyson Animal Hair vaccum (also recommend to all pet lovers).

SO far this is a great product....Highly recommend.

Update: We cleaned all the carpets downstairs, our family room has the highest traffic from dogs and people, it was really dirty but looks great when we were done. We worked on a few stains which are resolved. The hot water seems to enhance the cleaning but the cleaning solution does seem to go quickly, so stock up. When we went to put the steamer away, there was dog hair still laying within the front part, I used a wire, hooked it and the hair was removed easily. My husband thought it would be better to unscrew the front and remove it, 20 minutes later he was done. I suggest the wire method, also clean this unit completely before putting away and it should serve you well for a long time.

Very happy with this product.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I selected this machine specifically to remediate some of the long-term effects showing on a light-colored Berber carpet in our basement. Installed five years ago, it has endured the cumulative effects of three geriatric cats (who often had trouble keeping their dinners down), three rambunctious dogs, the comings and goings of several crowds of autumn party-goers, a sweet 16 party, a couple of New Year's Eve soirees and some on-again, off-again jam sessions with groups of teenage and young adult musicians. Bottom line: we had an excellent 800 square foot test track to work with.

Overall, this cleaner did an excellent job.

Pros:

-Easy assembly. Three screws for the handle, one for the upper hose reel and you're done in less than than 10 minutes. Everything else slides/snaps easily and relatively intuitively into place.

-Detailed user manual and full color quick start guide.

-Good water management system. The water tank consists of an exterior hard plastic tank with an integrated soft inner bladder. You fill the bladder with hot top water, and the cleaning process returns the dirty water into the hard exterior tank (which you empty).

-Cleaned very well. Look: in real life, the difference is never going to be as dramatic as in the marketing pictures. But we had some definite problem areas that showed residual staining even after multiple treatments with various cleaners and spot removers. This machine took care of those, as well as some ground-in soiling from where an HVAC crew had worked to replace a heat pump two years ago.

-The cleaning tool extension worked well on carpeted step treads.

Keeping this machine from five stars:

--no real good way to tell when the fresh water bladder is empty (and several times it was empty before I noticed). So you'll need to check often as your work proceeds.

--the tool hose is for use with both furniture and stairs. As a stair tool, it's only long enough to reach about halfway up/down a typical 13-step staircase, so you'll have to plan your work accordingly. Expect to either carry it over your freshly cleaned --but not yet dry-treads (or carry it all the way around the exterior of your house if you have exits at both levels).

Finally: this ships with enough Bissell 2X concentrate cleaning solution to fill the reservoir (in a water/cleaner mix) one time. My local Wal-Mart doesn't carry this, but does carry a 2x concentrate for carpet cleaners by Resolve; the Resolve brand is marked for use with Bissell cleaners and works just fine (even though the user guide says "Bissel brand cleaner only). Just make sure you have enough hand when you start. I got about 800 square feet of carpet cleaning with a single reservoir fill-up. FYI, the Bissell product has slight citrus scent when first applied; it rapidly dissipates.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Well, this is one of those mixed bags it certainly fulfills it main function as advertised, but anything else ranges between annoying and downright unacceptable.

Let's start with the positive aspects:

The Bissell effectively removes even very tough stains, spills, dried in mud and so on from carpets; we have small kids, so the carpets usually have a mixture of chocolate, milk, crayola color, mud, dirt, squashed blueberries, and all kinds of other things in them after a while. This all is not a problem for the Bissell to remove completely a job normally done in our house by professional carpet cleaners (quite) regularly.

That's it. Nothing more positive everything else about this thing sucks.

I am only listing the most major annoyances, design flaws, and handling problems here I already spent way too much time on this thing to write about every little detail that generates hassle and frustration ...

First and foremost, after cleaning the carpet, you need to clean the Bissell for which you basically have to disassemble the whole unit, to get the dirt out of all the numerous nooks and crannies. And some of those are virtually inaccessible, so you spend easily twice the time trying to remove the dirt from the Bissell than it took this thing to remove if from your carpet.

Then, it runs through the cleaning solution like there was no bottom to the tank. This will get very expensive, if you plan to clean more than the occasional spill with it.

Then there is the issue with filling the water tank it has a very narrow opening, and since it is so long, it is next to impossible to do that in the sink. So you have have to do that in the bathtub every time.

Then, of course, to clean this thing, you also have to use the bathtub, because it will not fit in the sink. Too bad, that during the cleaning of a regular carpet, so much of the carpet finds its way into the Bissell, in form of clusters of "carpet hair", that it will invariably clog your bathtub when you clean it there. So, better hose it down outside in the garden good luck with that during the winter months.

Furthermore, the much touted Surround Suction functionality is a mere advertising gag it does not add any benefit to the cleaning function, and the same goes for the hand tool, which just does not generate much suction at all.

To sum it up if you are patient enough to accept all the big and little flaws of this Bissell, you will get a machine that effectively cleans even the most hesitant dirt out of the carpet. But I have neither the time nor the inclination to put up with that kind of annoyances I'd rather give the money to a professional cleaning service once in a while and have no hassle with it.

Honest reviews on BISSELL PROheat 2X Pet Deep Cleaning System, Blue Illusion, 9200P

Once I decided to buy a carpet shampooer, I started reading the reviews and saw there were some mixed ones about the Bissell Proheat 2X Pet Deep Cleaning System. Of utmost concern for me was the ability of the shampooer to adequately clean up after my black laborador. Great dog, but an absolute shedding machine!

First time I used the Bissell Pro Heat, it worked like a charm. No problems as some of the other reviews indicated and as expected, I got wads and wads of black dog hair to show for my efforts and a delightfully fresher apartment. For two days. At that point, a completely-out-of-character case of intestinal distress struck the dog and she began leaving the Bissell and me with all kinds of challenges. Over the following week, I had multiple opportunities to use the Bissell and I can safely say the Bissell Pro Heat 2X Pet System continued to come through like a champ; after a couple times taking it apart and putting it back together for cleaning purposes, I'm kind of a champ at that, too, I guess. The only hangup I have had is with the brush assembly which has a two belt system--one large and one small. Never have figured out how to get the small belt back on, but it seems to work on just the larger belt.

I am quite satisfied with this machine; for anyone buying it, just read the directions, read the reviews and work with it a little. (and try not to let the small belt come off.)

We had an old canister-style Bissell steam cleaner and wanted one of the newer upright vacuum-style ones. I choose the Bissell Pro Heat 2x Pet. It's so much easier to use than our old one. You fill up a bladder in a tank. Fill the bladder with hot water and as it cleans, the dirty water goes in the plastic tank around the bladder which contains the clean water. There's a smaller tank in the back that the cleaning solution goes in. Just pull a trigger and the Bissell sprays water and cleaner, the vacuum sucks it back up with the dirt. You can use it either for floor cleaning or through the hand tool to use on upholstery and stairs.

It does a great job! You can see the dirt being sucked up. It's amazing how dirty carpets can be that look relatively clean.

The only downside that I've experienced is that the water and cleaning solution doesn't last very long. I have a small area of carpet to clean and I have to refill the water and cleaning solution once while I clean. It's not hard to do but if you had a lot of carpet to clean, be prepared to refill the tanks at least a couple of times.

The ease of use is very good. Fill your tanks and press your trigger to spray the water/cleaning solution and vacuum like you would with any vacuum. It is much heavier and bulkier to move around than a regular vacuum but it rolls easy and works well.

My carpets are clean and smell fresher so I'm definitely pleased with my purchase.

I realize this is a long review, but this is a relatively pricey unit, so I figured you would want all the hot poop! LOL I purchased this unit to replace an old thru the wall unit that died. Its time had come.

INSTALLATION: I had someone else install it into an existing sleeve in the wall. He had no problems with installation. May be different if you are making a NEW through the wall installation. Also, be aware that this Frigidaire unit requires a 220 electric line. I already had a 220 outlet in the wall from my old unit, but if you don't have such an outlet, you will have to employ an electrician to install one. How to tell if your outlet is 220? The prongs are not turned the same way as a regular outlet. Try to plug a lamp into it. If it won't fit, its probably a 220 outlet. BTW, the electric cord comes out of the LEFT side of the unit when you are facing it. My outlet is on the right side but the 6 foot cord easily reaches it. If you don't want a dangling cord, install your outlet on the left.

CAUTION: Be sure to let this unit (or any AC unit) sit right side up for 24 hours either before or after installation BEFORE turning it on, in case it was turned on its side or upside down in transit. Otherwise you could damage the unit.

REMOTE: The neutral ivory unit itself is attractive; my old one was black and brown, a real eyesore. The easy to use remote is a FULL FUNCTION remote, so you never have to touch the unit once it is plugged in, except to adjust the louvers. You can move the louvers from level to up towards the ceiling (but not down toward the floor) and from right to left and everywhere in between to direct the air flow. The unit has 4 fan speeds: low, medium, high and auto, all accessible via remote. The remote also has a built in thermometer so you can check the actual room temp. Appears to be relatively accurate, but I don't have another thermometer to check it.

COOLING: I've been using mine for about a month now. Its set at 70°, low fan speed, and auto cool, nonstop. Initially it took about 10-12 hours for the house to completely cool down, since even the walls were hot to the touch. Now it runs 24/7 and my 625 square foot first floor is always comfortable. That's saying something because we just had 10 days or so of temps in the high 90s. UGH! Two days ago the actual temp reached 103°. Factor in the humidity and it felt more like 109°. Here in Southeast Pennsylvania, humidity is a four letter word! This unit never missed a beat. The house was comfortable through it all. Keep in mind that I have two 6' x 30" south facing windows and a 6' x6' sliding glass door facing west and the sun beats in all day till sunset.

FAN: On Auto, the fan does cycle on and off frequently. I got used to it. Of course, the fan is noisy, (its a fan!) but not annoyingly so on low speed. Its in the dining room between the kitchen and living room and does not noticeably interfere with the TV in either room. And on Auto mode, the fan only runs when the unit is cooling. Since the fan doesn't run all the time, I do run a cheap pedestal fan in the corner of the living room for additional air flow, which is considerably quieter than the AC fan.

COST: I have not received an electric bill with a full month of use on it, but I don't expect a problem. The key is to run it 24/7 to maintain the temp and humidity so the house never heats up. Maintaining the temp is less work for the unit than cooling it down once it gets hot.

AWORD OF CAUTION. CHECK WITH YOUR POWER COMPANY'S WEBSITE. MANY POWER COMPANIES OFFER REBATES FOR THE PURCHASE OF ENERGY STAR ELECTRIC APPLIANCES LIKE THIS ONE. IF YOUR POWER COMPANY OFFERS SUCH A REBATE, BE SURE TO COPY THE SERIAL NUMBER THATS ON THE SIDE OF THIS UNIT ***BEFORE*** YOU INSTALL IT. AFTER IT IS INSTALLED YOU HAVE LOST THE SERIAL NUMBER BEHIND THE WALL AND WILL LOSE YOUR REBATE. Hmmm . . . Guess how I know that?

Best Deals on Frigidaire FRA124HT2 12,000/11,700 BTU Through-the-Wall Room Air

I bought this A/C to replace a very old behemoth of a Frigidaire through-the-wall A/C from the mid 1970's. This is one of the only 220 volt A/C's I could find, by the way, which is the same voltage as my old A/C. I was worried that this new A/C would be too small for the old sleeve which is 26" wide by 16.5" high. I was wrong. This new A/C seems to have been designed for the old sleeve that I had. The first step is to remove the old A/C which is definitely a two-man job. You should be sure to put a plastic sheet on the floor in front of the A/C before you remove it. Also have a bucket and some sponges handy. This is because the bottom of the old A/C has a drip pan which is probably full of water. After removing the face-plate, you then pull the old A/C out as straight as possible, maybe wiggling it a bit to get it sliding. It is not screwed or bolted in. It just takes a lot of strength and pulling to get it out. The directions to the new A/C recommended replacing the old exterior grille with the new grille provided. I tried this, but the new grille was too small, so I put the old one back on. Other than size, I noticed very little difference between the new grille and the old one anyway. The new A/C includes lots of different types and sizes of foam insulation, padding and cushions for using around it. After measuring the inside of the sleeve and the new A/C, I decided to first line the outermost top and side edges of the sleeve with the 1.5" stick-on foam strips. I left the bottom edge uncovered because that is where the drain holes are. Then I placed the four dense foam "centering blocks" in each corner of the sleeve floor facing inward (these are the blue pieces that are cut in the shape of stairs). In order to prevent the new A/C from snagging and moving the centering blocks while being slid into the sleeve, I then cut two long and narrow pieces of cardboard and placed them on top of the centering blocks. The new A/C is much lighter than the old A/C, but it is still good for two people to lift it and carefully slide it into the sleeve across the top of the cardboard strips. After it is centered in the sleeve, you can then lift each side one at a time and gently remove the cardboard strips. Voila! A perfect fit with the A/C resting about 1" off of the bottom of the sleeve with approx. 1" of space around each side. You then cut strips of foam for each side, the top and bottom, and then push it in around the front of the A/C. The finishing moulding/edge piece included with the A/C provides a very nice look that hides the foam and the lip of the old sleeve. I did, however, cut and fit some trim moulding around it as well, mainly to hide the rough edge left by the moulding around the old A/C. I was very pleased with how this job went. I expected it to take at least twice as long as it did. Don't worry if you end up with a lot of left over foam and other materials that are included. After it was installed, the new A/C ran very well and cooled down the room very quickly. It is much quieter than the old A/C, but it still makes some noise, as I would expect from any A/C.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA124HT2 12,000/11,700 BTU Through-the-Wall Room Air

I purchased this unit to replace a through-the-wall unit in my condo. The documentation was pretty good; importantly there were specific installation guides depending on the previous unit's brand. Unfortunately, my sleeve is an unusual size. But the unit came with a bunch of foam and fittings so I could make it fit. I especially appreciated the power checking utility that ensures that the right voltage is supplied before the unit can be turned on. Once installed, the unit works great. Quieter than the "library quiet" unit in our bedroom. And the 12,000 btus cool our place quickly and efficiently. A good buy from a reputable company.

It works. We had a week of hundred degree days. I set the unit to 76 degrees and it kept up to that temp. It slid into the existing sleeve easily and came with more foam and weather stripping than I needed. It is noisier than I was hoping for, but it's the fan / white noise that you can tune out after a while.

Quiet operation, odorless, and efficient. Surprisingly, this small natural gas heater works great in my 2500 sq.ft home. It can not heat the entire home when it is below 45 deg outside yet works well as a supplemental heater to my central heating system. I have it running 24/7 for the past month and it has saved me at least $60 in utility bill.

Note: this smaller unit does not come with an internal electric fan.

The heater produces significant infrared heat from the front so be careful about placement and location. I have several CO sensors throughout the house both high and low and there has been no detectable trace of carbon monoxide so far. Will be buying a CO2 sensor to monitor the air quality just to be safe as I plan to run it 24/7 for several months. CO2 is heavier than air, if the heater is placed higher than the ground by several feet, the automatic internal pilot light will not stop the heater until the pool level of CO2 rises high enough. This would put small pets that sleep below the heater's level in danger especially at night when there is no movement in the house.

Overall, I am happy with the product and ease of installation.

I have had one of these great little heaters for two years now. I couldn't tell you how many times I have been thankful of my wife for buying me one.I have a 20'X20' shed out side that I use for crafts that my wife won't let me do inside. Untill I recieved this one I used to buy a new electric heater every season in the colder months just to stay warm while I tinkered around. The only drawback to it is that it will not heat you,or a room up immediately (it usually takes some 10-20 minutes)But it will keep the room warm easily and will not burn out quickly or cause a spark like the little glowing fan heaters. All in due case it is good for what I do.

These oil-filled types are completely silent, and they seem to me to be much safer than ceramic or fan-based heaters. Safe enough for pets to be near, even. Value tip! Wal*Mart just marked this model down from $37 to $35. How can you go wrong for $35? I live alone in a big house, so I can turn the heat down to 60 at night and keep the BR toasty with this unit.

My Pelonis Oil-Filled Radiator Heater, Model HO-0221, just began spewing out hot oil today. It was sitting in the middle of my office, right out in the open, more than 3 feet away from the nearest desk or chair. It was not covered, and was not plugged into an extension cord of any kind. Two of us were working in the room, and thankfully the hot oil did not reach us as it was spitting out of the space heater. It left an extremely unpleasant aftermath, including a mess of oil to clean up all over our carpet and a filing cabinet, and a horrible stench that we're trying to air out.

I, under no circumstances, recommend this product. It is unsafe, and honestly before this incident, wasn't even all that effective in my opinion. Beware, and if you do decide to purchase this, DO NOT leave it unattended!!

After discovering that the method of attaching the Cozy Heater to my wall was with sticky little doodads I decided I needed the metal stand instead. I don't feel like scraping off doodads and repainting my wall every year when I put the heater away for the summer. They make a point of not mentioning the doodad method but the stand works fine. They should include the stand with the heater but then they wouldn't be able to suck another sale and shipping charge out of you if they did. Get the stand right away! That way you won't have the heater propped against your wall for a couple weeks waiting for the stand to arrive.

I bought the Cozy Legs Radiant Heater Panel and thought that these metal legs were required. Quite frankly, while they work, they really aren't that much of an improvement over what came with the Heater Panel.

Still, they do and adequate job, and they are a tiny bit more aestetically pleasing than the included 'legs.'

My advice buy these only after you try the included legs.

My house was built in 1977. Not sure why they skimped so bad on duct work and insulation, but it is obvious every winter that they did. The house is very drafty and tends to be much warmer upstairs than downstairs.

Last winter, we tried everything in our budget to limit the drafts and heat the room. The heaters we bought left us wishing for more. Most were too loud or didn't heat the room, only a small part of it. We found this heater at half off and figured we would go for it.

I was skeptical with it being a fan. We didn't want something loud or that made a lot of noise when it came on or off. We also didn't want the heating coils exposed or any part of it to be hot due to small children and animals in the house. It is fairly compact and entirely plastic on its outer shell. When operating, you can touch any part of it and not get burned.

The heater offers an off/ on switch, an auto/on fan switch, a temperature dial and a high/ low heater switch. I enjoy the auto/on because some days I like to leave it on auto to come off an on as needed. In the mornings, I like to put it on and just let it really heat up the room. Our room is large, originally a kitchen and living room, we removed a wall (which has lead to some of the circulation problems).

Once we turn this heater on, we can feel a difference in the room in just a few minutes. The difference is so obvious, we can tell halfway down the stairs. Our fan thermostat typically read 70 degrees on a 50 degree day, now it is at 74 with the heater, furnace on 69. It is just enough to get the chill off.

I highly recommend this heater even at original price. I would certainly pay that much for it now.

When I first received these, I was ready to write out a 5 star review. They appear well made and just one of them heated my master bedroom which is about 15x20 feet.

Two of these together in the same room made it so hot it was stuffy all throughout the room. I would get up in the middle of the night and have to turn one off. Just one kept my side of the bed stuffy hot and the entire area around the bed comfortably heated.

They are made of thick, heavy plastic and the size allows them to fit anywhere. My only complaint was that they are difficult to lift or carry because the hand hold in the back has no gripping whatsoever but I still would have rated it 5 star based on how well they heated.

After 2-3 months of very light use, the heating element failed in both of them. The first one, the fan stopped working and the heating element still heated but it was lukewarm at best. The second one, the fan worked but heating element failed. In both of them, I started hearing a rattling sound in them about a month after purchasing that wasn't there when I first opened them. A month later, they failed completely.

Basically, the casing is well made but the heating elements and fans are faulty. They are very delicate on the inside. I think if you dropped one that it would ruin the heater. Out of the box, they are almost perfect for heating a whole room but the inner workings of these things are unreliable and it's just a matter of time before they fail considering both of mine purchased the same day failed at the same time which leads me to believe it is the product itself and not just a fluke defect.

I would not recommend these because I don't think they would make it through a couple months of use.

I clearly can recommend this as a great room heater. My only issue is that this model does not use tempertures as the meansuring standard for warmth--one eventurally figures out what each position on the dial will accompolish. Substantively, the unit does draw and push air throughout the room. My recommendation is to buy from the manufacturer but not this particular unit--too much time is spent fooling with the nob to adjust the room temparature.
