Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Whats all the complaining Comment: I bought the Bissel Proheat Clearview in 2001 and have been using it about six times a year since then for an entire house cleaning and about twice each month for some spot cleanings because we have a dog. I've been satisfied with the product. I don't understand all the complaints. It does stop sucking up water occasionally but all I have to do is take the water tank, remove the little red filter and clean it off and I'm back in business. My brushes have never stopped working. I do clean them occasionally. The only real problem that has developed in the last couple years is that if I shut it off and leave it sit somewhere for a few minutes, it does leak a bit. Not a big problem. I just turn it back on and suck up the leak. I imagine the gaskets are going bad from age and use. I'm sure some of these problems are legitimate but after reading bad reviews on many other products that I've purchased that have been great products, I have to wonder if people actually read the owner/instruction manuals that come with products. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't Buy it Comment: I have a small Bissel that works well, but wanted something a little stronger with the stair and upholstery tools. This is my 4th rug cleaner, and by far the worst I have ever owned. Same problems as others- no suction, spray turns off for no reason, etc. Customer Rating: Summary: Good for maybe 2 years Comment: Bought this at the end of 2004 when got our puppy and it worked great until the past year. It broke for some reason and we had to have it repaired; it cost $70 and it has never been the same since. Recently, it has stopped sucking the water back up - I start with a full container of water and empty less than half of a container when I'm finished. Also, the shampoo intermittently comes out. Once, I started the machine and it all came out at once and made a horrible mess. Other times, I can do two rooms and still have over half a container left, which is abnormal. For the first two years we owned this I raved about it to my friends and family; my parents even bought the same one because of my reviews and are now having the same problems. So if you're looking for something to work for a short time this is the product for you; if you're looking for something you can depend on for years to come go with another brand. Customer Rating: Summary: Worked great....ONCE! Comment: I was so excited to get this machine, & very happy with the results of first time use. However, the SECOND time we tried to use it, it no longer worked! It will spray water out of the hose attachment, but not from the main section of the machine to the floor. I used the manual to troble-shoot & everything we checked came up fine. But still no spray! Consequently, I was on my hands and knees, trying to spot clean entire rooms with the small hose attachment (meant for upholstery), then standing up to use the main part of the machine to suction the water back up. Ridiculous! I definitely would NOT recommend this model. Customer Rating: Summary: Problem after problem........ Comment: Along with other reviewers it worked well for a couple of months. I took the first one back to WalMart when it stopped sucking water and exchanged it for another of the same. Now three months later, the brush has stopped turning (the belt is not broken). It stops sucking water halfway thru the cleaning, etc... Just not worth it. Go with another brand. More Reviews
