How does this compare to the Bissell 9400 ProHeat 2x? I'm considering both and if someone who knows the pros and cons of could share their opinion, I would greatly appreciate it.

I just returned my Bissel to Costco. We had had a Bissel for over 30 years...used the Bissell 9400 twice never could get suction, which meant extremely wet carpets. The Bissel hotline told me to take it back. The tools were falling out and it felt cheap with too much plastic. I'm also looking out of desperation at the Hoover Agility. Good Luck!

I was told by a sales person at Kohl's NOT to buy a Bissell. She said they usually don't last more than a year. She recommended a Hoover for durability and cleaning power. Just my 2 cents worth.

Last Christmas, we bought the 780-which works great. However, I have long blonde hair and it would tangle around the rollers. The 780 comes with a cleaning tool, so that you can easily cut it off...but it was kind of annoying. I ended up taking it to work and bought the new 880 for the house. We also have dogs at the house. The 880 is AWESOME. It's virtually maintenance free, with the exception of emptying out the collection tray. It also is a lot quieter than the 780. Overall, the rubber rollers seem to pick up a lot more dirt, dust, and dog hair than the 780 did...and I would compare the 780 to the effectiveness of our Dyson Ball vacuum (yes, I know, I have purchased a lot of vacuums... I am kind of OCD like that!) Overall, I would highly suggest the 880 over the 780 iRobot. It simply works better.

The unit is very good. Much better than the newest model. I was so impressed with the J8005 after my 20 yr old model that I also purchased the newest vertical model. Hard to clean, stalls out and way too complex - just not good. I believe the J8006 is slightly better than the 8005 that I have and the best they ever made. It is an induction motor and you will have to spend a little over $120 for a transformer or stepdown converter for France 220 volt unless there is a cheaper way.

I purchased the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine Professional Grade Carpet Cleaner, 86T3 - it is costly $549 but I believe well worth the investment. I also purchased the Square Trade Warranty. We have had numerous cleaners - including a commercial grade cleaner. This cleaner, in my opinion, studier (the plastic is not flimsy -made like a Tonka toy!), easy to put together (I did it without instructions is was that simple), easy to clean (Hoover products have a lot of hard to reach places to clean and some areas impossible) and, best of all does a superb job - thoroughly cleans and does not leave the large water residue.

back in the day we always purchased black & decker (under the cabinet) coffee makers. loved them! this was our first mr. coffee model for the countertop. we've been really pleased. we make 3-pots per day on average and clean the machine once a month. even so...we still only get roughly a year from our m.c. models. my mother gets less than a year using a braun coffee maker (3x the $$ of our m.c.) seems a waste of money? best of luck! cheers, ~ tom

I have the Pro2X and have owned it for about 4 months. I really like having the two canisters, since I tend to make food and then freeze it. I like being able to steam two foods at once. Makes the whole process go that much faster. One thing, you can't blend/mix on both sides, just on one, so you steam the food then blend one after another on the primary side. The blending works well. I have been able to get the smooth consistency needed for babyfood, so no complaints there. My opinion is if you want/need to save time, the second cansiter in the Pro2X is definitely worth the money. I estimate it saves you 20 minutes of overall time per two foods you are planning to cook, since you are steaming both foods at once. If you don't care as much about saving the time then it's not as worth it. BTW - my opinion is the larger canister in the PRO is definitely worth it over the std so you can make food and then freeze the rest and don't have to be making food all the time.

I'm even more late, but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have used two norelco rotary shavers, two Braun foil shavers and a Panasonic foil. Hands down the best shave is from the Panasonic. One of the Norelco's is my first electric razor purchased back in 1994 and still running like new - now that is quality construction. However the shave closeness is not as good compared to more recent shavers and takes forever. The other norelco is a much newer one, one of their recent nivea lotion models. I can get a good shave out of it, but it lacks in comparison to the Panasonic, not as close and takes much longer. The Braun's both performed excellently, but always left me with irritation, and sometimes good burns too. Both were self-cleaning synchro shavers. If you want strictly dry shaving, Braun is a good choice. Panasonic, a fully immersible wet/dry electric, I may have never used this razor dry, I can't remember so I won't comment on that. i prefer wet shaving with a quality soap or cream and brush, in the shower. It always gives me an almost blade close shave, without any irritation or most importantly bleeding. It never looses power when confronted with dense growth unlike the norelco's. If I have 2 days growth the norelco motor is audibly and sensibly effected. The Panasonic is unaffected It's motor plows through anything. I have loved my Panasonic ES8228S so much, but have decided to upgrade to the ES-LA93K. Will the Panasonic be up on ebay, like the fate of my other dis-guarded razors? HELL NO! I will keep it for a rainy day, change of pace, in case the 93k explodes or some other act of God takes it from me. I will continue to love my ES8228S for it's lifetime. Seriously guys, it's that good.

I have a Bissel Little Green Machine that I have used for years cleaning the cat yak... It works great and completely cleans the mess. The only problem is after 7 years is has a bad smell because the inner workings can not be easily cleaned. I am looking to replace it just because of the smell.

Go with the Proheat brand, much higher quality and has a grounded three conductor cord and is about the same price. The preheat model is a 154. I have two 10 KW gen sets and that is what I have on them. The cats model burned up rite away and the preheats are still there working three years later!

I am very pleased with the sander. I can not comment on the upgrade since I am not familiar with it. The B03710 sands much faster and has less vibration than the one I had before. And I like that it uses 1/3 sheet of paper.I would recommend it. NH

The biggest difference I can see is that the Deluxe does not have a vacuum feature. That's a downside for me, but you may not be looking for an all-in-one machine.

I have had both. You can read my reviews; five stars for Bissell and one for Hoover. Not only is the Hoover lower grade plastic, but it also has a computer which malfunctions after a number of uses. Bad design!

I think the Pro 600 is the greatest unit of all. I was surprised to hear that the noise it makes sits on Jillie Bean's nerves as mine is no louder than the Artisan models. I love the lift device and the fact I can place up to 14 cups of flour in it at one time. I make biscotti and anyone that has ever made them knows how stiff this dough really is. This unit handles it like nothing. In a few minutes it's all kneaded and ready to place in oven. I just love it and can't recommend it enough. It is worth every penny you pay for it.

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?
