Customer Ratings & Reviews

We are extremely happy with the new HydroSteam carpet cleaner. Not only does it do a great job cleaning and not making my carpet overly wet, the suction is next to none. I've owned a number of home carpet cleaners over the years and this one tops ALL of them on the fluid extraction!

The tank is a little small which requires multiple refills but overall Works excellent and cleans like a professional.

It’s is amazing products keep clean nicely , easy to install

I used this to clean my outdoor rug that stays exposed to the elements all year long. The carpet is at least three years old. This shampooer was able to restore it to almost new looking. I would definitely recommend!

We recently replaced our old carpet cleaner after the motor that drives the rotating brush finally failed. Since we were in the middle of cleaning, we headed to Best Buy and picked up a Bissell Revolution HydroSteam based on its reviews and premium price point, expecting it to outperform our aging machine. Unfortunately, our experience has been disappointing. The first issue is minor but frustrating: the hose and accessory attachments do not store on the unit itself. Having to keep track of separate pieces feels inconvenient and makes it much more likely that parts will be misplaced over time. The much larger problem, however, is water extraction. After cleaning our first room, my wife immediately asked, “Are you sure it’s picking up any water at all? The carpet is still soaked.” I initially brushed off the concern because I could see water moving through the clear nozzle. However, after feeling the carpet myself, she was absolutely right. It was far wetter than I would expect after cleaning. Assuming I had done something wrong, I carefully reviewed the assembly and operating instructions and went over the room multiple additional times. Everything was set up correctly. Thankfully, we still had our old carpet cleaner, and when we ran it over the same area, it pulled up a surprising amount of additional water. A few days later, we tested the HydroSteam in another room, being careful not to oversaturate the carpet. We wanted to rule out the possibility that we had simply applied too much water during the first cleaning. Unfortunately, we experienced the exact same issue. While troubleshooting, I discovered that pressing down on the front of the machine dramatically improved extraction. Comparing it to our old cleaner, it appears that the HydroSteam’s design places most of its weight toward the rear of the unit, while the extraction nozzle sits level with the rest of the base. As a result, the machine seems to glide across the surface of the carpet instead of applying enough pressure to pull moisture from deeper within the fibers. To be clear, the HydroSteam seems to clean very well. However, a carpet cleaner that leaves the carpet excessively wet after multiple passes simply is not acceptable. Because of this, I will be returning it. What surprises me most is the lack of discussion around this issue. Based on my experience, this feels less like a defect with my particular unit and more like a fundamental design flaw that would affect every machine built this way.

Easy to use Easy to assemble Easy to clean Fair price Does the job !

The cleaning quality is superb. The steam followed up by the water suction is visible as the dirt is sucked up. The machine is a little heavy, but well worth the extra effort used to clean. So glad I purchased it!

Best carpet cleaning machine ever. My carpets are old and look new

Best carpet cleaner I have ever owned by Bissell or any other brand.

This is great carpet cleaning machine but like all self cleaning cleaners it’s limited to what it does.

Purchased this because it had many good reviews. Just started using it and it works GREAT! Highly recommend this product!

I really like this product it cleans very well I highly recommend

Good product, very light and easy to maneuver hopefully it will last a long time

Works great only problem I’ve had is soap collecting in the drip line and causing it not to throw soapy water

[Employee of bestbuy] This item is easy to assemble, great at vacuuming and cleaning the floor even the lines in between the tiles are white again, something a basic mop can’t do. The only issue I’d have is that for a big house, you’d have to change the water out after 2 rooms.

It was good did require a lot of maintenance more so than usual Bissell products

Excellent product. It's much better than all the reviews. I highly recomend it.

Purchased this unit thinking it was the higher end model. Does a fairly good job except it leaves a 2 inch area from the baseboard that it doesn’t touch. It was also difficult to recognize that this is the cheaper unit because Best Buy has it listed as a vacuum not a shampoo machine. Also the floor tool has stopped spraying after 2 uses, really considering returning.

Just used it once cleaned everything I needed it to

I am really happy with this item. It dies a good job, cleaning.
