Review & Giveaway: Bissell ProDry Carpet Cleaner

February 15, 2009

** This giveaway is now closed **

When I was approached by Bissell to try out one of their new products, I jumped at the opportunity! I reviewed their Little Green Machine last year, and absolutely LOVED it! It’s one of my daily use machines! When they offered up a ProDry machine, I took a look at their product information and saw that it stated that the carpet would dry within 30 minutes. That alone got me intrigued. I would love to have my carpets clean and dry in 30 minutes! Perfect for my play dates, and it would definitely cut down on cleaning time and chaos in the house! I could move my furniture back much faster!

When the cleaner arrived, I was super excited to get it together and try it out. I took all of the parts out of the box and looked a little perplexed. Instead of brush-type scrubbers, it had a roller, similar to what you’d see on a paint roller, just a little thicker. I read through the instructions to make sure I had everything correct, and put everything together. I thought I’d start in the living room since it’s one of the more used rooms in the house. I filled the reservoir with the solution and hot water. As I was carrying it back to the cleaner, water started spilling out on me. I took it back to the sink and reset the nozzle just in case I had mis-threaded it, but I didn’t. This time, I grabbed a towel to take with me. I flipped the reservoir over and put it back on the machine. Once the reservoir was seated, I started it up.

I took the cleaner for a “tour” of my living room carpet. I completed my entire carpet, and went back to the spots with the hand tool. It took them out with no problem. It did seem to fluff up the carpet and make it more plush. It wasn’t as compacted as before I went over it. The carpet was damp, but not soaking wet like when I’ve used some of the other carpet cleaners. 

I thought I’d try the Oxy-gen tool on a chair that we got from storage. It was quite dusty, and it didn’t seem to really come clean with the tool. I ended up getting out my Bissell Little Green Machine instead. 

My overall opinion about this machine is that it’s good for in between deep cleanings. It will help to keep your carpet fresh and not looking run down, avoiding worn in spots in the high traffic areas. It does get stains out with the hand tool if you have any really bad spots. Oh, and yes, my carpet was dry in 30 minutes. Even in the cold weather!

If you are looking for something to freshen up your carpet in between deep cleanings, then you just might want to check this machine out.

  9. I think that the Versusâ„¢ Bare Floor Vacuum Cleaner would be another thing I’d love to own just because it’s compact, looks cute and would do the job I needed.

    This is such an awesome giveaway and something I’ve been needed for a long time now!!!! Please count me in!

    -barbarabaker 🙂

  17. I like the Steam Mop. I love the chemical free cleaning option. Thanks for the review. Now I feel the need to clean!

  23. My hand-held quick-vac is gasping its last gasps. Bissell’s "Pet Hair Eraser® Corded Hand Vacuum" would serve me well, I find that the rechargeable-battery vacs simply don’t deliver the suction. I’d love the new Bissell model.

    Generous giveaway. Thanks!

  33. This product is great and eons better than the rickety loud bag one I have now. And it’d get great use in our household where I seem to be vacuuming almost daily. And yes, all this with just one kid – can u believe it?!

    I checked out the Bissell site and I have to say their SpotBot is another product I’d love to own. The number of times I’ve been on my knees scrubbing away with that noxious carpet cleaner to remove yet another throw-up cannot be believed!! With this nifty little device, I wouldn’t want to hang myself each time my kid barfs.

    Thanks for this great giveaway!

  40. I would love to try their Steam mop for hard surfaces, mt kitchen floor could definitely use it, between 3 kids, my husbands work boots , the in-laws and our pets. It would be wonderful.

  48. I guess the other cleaning item I would want, is the steam mop. I like that it sanitizes without any chemicals. With a toddler, a dog, and a cat running around, I don’t like to use anything caustic.

  51. I have 3 long haired cats. I’d love to try out the ShedAwayâ„¢ Pet Grooming Vacuum Attachment!

    Thanks for the great contest.

  54. I would also love to own the Steam Mop. I would use it on my kitchen and bathroom floors. Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway.

  55. I’d love to try the Pet Hair Eraser Corded Hand Vacuum. It’s small and lightweight and would be perfect for sucking the pet fur from the trunk of my poor SUV. Three dogs riding back there makes for a ton-o-hair.

  58. The pet hair eraser would be a great addition to my household since I own three rescued Miniature Pinschers (MinPins) and I often foster other MinPins on a temporary basis.

  66. I would LOVE to try a Bissel carpet cleaner. I am so sick of hiring out to have my carpets cleaned. It would be great to be able to do it myself.

    If I had to pick something else besides the giveaway item, I would choose the Healthy Home vacuum. I have asthma and it seems like it gets worse every time I vacuum. This vacuum offers an airtight filter and antimicrobial protection! Very cool!

    Thanks so much for offering this great giveaway!

  69. With 3 kids ages 5 and under and off-white carpet throughout the house, I would like to have either the Proheat 2x select or cleanshot. Thanks. We have lots of messes!

  71. The Versus Bare Floor Vacuum Cleaner is the firt thing that popped up at me when I went to the Hoover site. I would love that. This is a great giveaway!

  77. I did go and check out the Bissell site. The product that caught my attention was the Pet Hair Eraser® Corded Hand Vacuum. Sometimes you don’t necessarily need to get out the big vacuum, but still need something for daily use to get rid of pet hair. That’s something I definitely have a problem with in my house so a product like that could be a lifesaver.

  80. Thanks for the great giveaway! Would love this. Our carpet is light colored and doesn’t stay clean no matter how careful we are. I would also like to try their Versus Bare Floor Vacuum Cleaner on our hardwood floors. Thanks!

  84. I’d love the Versus Bare Floor cleaner. We have equal amounts of tile/hardwood and carpet, so a separate floor cleaner would be fantastic!

  100. I would love to try the flip it select. My new house has hard wood floors in the living, dining and kitchen areas so this would make cleaning a lot easier!

  105. I have a big black Lab and big, black cat. They both shed huge amounts of hair, I would love to win the hard surface vacuum cleaner.

  120. I’ve had my old bissel carpet cleaner for about 8 years and I’m really ready to get a new one! I’d love to try out the ProHeat 2X® Select Pet.

  121. I had a Bissell ProHeat for quite a few years, and then the motor burnt out, but I loved that thing. I used it twice a month to keep my carpets looking brand new. I would get that one again in a heart beat.

    But this new one?
    Yeah, I’d take this one too…LOL

    Kats last blog post..WWJD at school?

  122. I would love the Bissell Proheat 2X select. Our carpets could always use a good cleaning and I hate renting the machines. Thanks for putting this on.

  125. Neat carpet cleaner! I have an area that gets a lot of traffic and it’s tough to keep clean. This would be a big help and I like that the carpet was dry in a short amount of time.

    I would love to have DigiPro canister vacuum cleaner.

  128. The features of the Healthy Home Vacuum make it appealing to me. The Hepa system helps to remove allergens, and the antimicrobial component helps this cleaner to function in a healthy way.

  139. I could really use the Flip-!t® Select. It looks like it will make those mopping/cleaning jobs that I hate a little easier.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  155. The Spot Bot Pet is the my choice;..I would surely get the most use out of this with my puppies running around the house. Thanks for featuring
    Bissell

  156. I want the litle green machine, i have two animals and with the recent additon to a very fluffy kitten, i swear they have caused me more messes than anything. Last night, I had a party, an the dog found the cupcakes wiht whipped cream on them. Imbedded in my carpet right now……sigh

  158. I would love to own a Flip-It Select! WE have tile in the kitchen and hardwood on our entire first floor and I just hate mopping! This would be a huge time saver!

  168. I love Bissel cleaning products they are so efficient and don’t caost an arm and a leg to buy. Another product I would love to own is their SpotBot® Pet
    Set SpotBot Pet on the spot or stain, hit start and WalkAway&trade – SpotBot Pet does the work for you. Excellent time saver for me.

  172. I have 5 children a dog and a cat. I shampoo my carpet every 2 weeks. I NEED THAT! I would love the The Spot Lifter 2X. It would save me so much time.

  174. I have 2 dogs – two cats and a baby (who is crawling) I need to keep the floor clean. I vacume and sweep all day. The big green complete plus a regular new vacume would really help me keep my house clean for my baby

  189. I have always wanted a Little Green Machine. I would also love to have the Pro Dry carpet cleaner. Great giveaway!

  199. Bissel’s a great brand from my experience. The Little Green Pro looks so cool 🙂 I haven’t tried it yet, though. Thanks for the entry!

  211. I would love to try the Pet Hair Eraser Vacuum! Can that cat hair be erased? Oh say it can. But in the meantime we really need this product! Baby spilled her bottle all over the carpet today and it’s crusty and nasty! Would love to win!

  215. I would also love to have the Versus Bare Floor Vacuum Cleaner. Itthink that it would save me time and energy. Thanks

  216. This house has so much traffic that this would be wonderful to have. I don’t wash the rugs near as often as I should because it takes so long for the rug to dry and in the mean time we can’t use the living room and the house is torn apart until it is dry the next day. It is such a hassle and since this one leaves your rugs dry in 30 minutes it would be PERFECT~! I could wash the rug and have the house put back to normal in an hour. How terrific is that. I also would like to own their Little Green for spot cleaning. I have a cat that sometimes get sick from hair balls even though we buy her special food so this would come in real handy as well. Thanks for the review and for sharing this awesome giveaway~! 🙂 Now off to tweet and blog bbs

  219. I’ve been wanting a carpet steamer for months! I’ve been dealing with stains popping up on the carpet ever since my baby boy joined us. I’ve been thinking about the Little Green, but not sure if it would be big enough to handle the job. Dirty carpet drives me nuts!
