How does this compare to the Bissell 9400 ProHeat 2x?

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!

The DC50 is just more compact and in my opinion even more powerful with the double cyclone head... it may have a few less tools included, but you can always buy those afterwords... for my 1.5K sq. ft. apt. (about 3/4 tile. and the rest medium carpet). The DC 50 is awesome!!!

I bought the Easy Clean 71B (Yellow) and am very happy with it. It is over 1 pound lighter than this Rapid Clean model with only slightly less power. Overall I have been very impressed with the suction power, the ability to turn on/off brushes and the long cord and crevice tool. I would recommend it due to the lower weight and lower price.

This doesn't pick up fine dust as the swiffer. We owned the Bissell before and this unit is noisier and doesn't hold a charge as long. I like that you can take from hardwood to carpet, but this unit doesn't have very strong power on the carpet as the Bissell. Corners and edges can also be a problem.

According to the Sonicare website the difference between the 9500 (9000 series) and the 7500 (7000 series) is minimal. The 9500 includes the custom care system and programmable quadpacer. The Custom Care System essentially comes down to the inclusion of an extra compact brush. The programmable quadpacer allows the user to change the intervals and overall time of the brushing cycle. The 9500 includes both a standard and compact brush (as stated above) while the 7500 only includes the standard brush. Finally, the 9500 includes a deluxe travel bag, while the 7500 includes a standard travel bag.

As good as any Manual sweeper.Something that I lkie for all surfaces is Dirt Devil-Quick-Path,does an excellent Job.It is a plug-in electricVery reasonably Priced.If You don't use a plug-in the Winco out performs Bissel on all surfaces.Definality more sturdy than the BisselIf You are looking for something non-plug in for Quick Use I think The Winco I bought at Amazon does the trick

Yes, this model is more powerful and has three settings compared to the 02cool models which are weak with two settings. This one also has a timer, remote, and when put in the window it brings in a great breeze and it is a good value for the quality of the product and it is still going strong since we bought it in May of 2013.

I chose the Pro one because of the extra year in the warranty 2 vs 1 and the extra grind plate 3 vs 2 . I also believe there is a difference between a pro model (usually implies that it can take repeated abuse ) and the premium. After purchasing the original plastic one from manufacturer and having to toss it in the garbage after 4 separate uses , I could not chance throwing away more money if the cheaper of the two broke .

Hi Karla. I'm Diane (Edward's wife) and I'm the one who purchased and uses the machine. I have a fair amount of carpet, with a number of different piles, in my home. I have owned three different carpet cleaning machines over the years. I love this machine. I much prefer the roller brushes (as opposed to the spinning scrubbers on my prior Hoover machine). I checked Bissell's website to compare the two models and refresh my memory. I bought the 47A2 based on the following: 47A2 has a bigger tank (1.25 gallons compared to 1 gallon); 47A2 has dual power brushes with 10 cleaning rows ( compared to 8852's one power brush with 6 cleaning rows). I think 47A2 is a bit lighter. I thought my prior Hoover was decent, but when I took the 47A2 for a test drive on my "two dog" carpet, I was impressed. It cleaned beautifully and it really "sucks". My carpet dried very quickly. Hopes this helps.

I think you are making a wise choice. This is a good machine and replaced my 1st ProForm, which I used 8 years and it was a cheap model..$599. It still works too but is noisy. They make a great machine.

I think twin turbo makes a higher quality product. This specific model isn't my favorite though. I recommend the 3200. I do about 70 blowdrys a week and I've only had to replace it once every 18 months or so.

Not sure about the other models in requested comparison. My observations:- extremely effective. Moves huge volume of air.- Can be somewhat noisy. Low frequency buzz & "whoosh" of air- weak point is the angle adjustment which is governed by friction from a couple of washers and rubber grommets. Need to keep tight all the time. Suggest replacing with better/ larger fasteners

That's a good question but one I can't answer. I have had nothing but trouble with my Bissell cleaner. Usually it doesn't work and when it does, it leaks water in streaks. I wish I had returned it but it's been more than a year. Good luck!

The 450 is the latest unit and it is easier to clean and also vacuums when cleaning. By what I have read about the 390 they have issues with leaving water and cleaning them out. the 450 so far has been brilliant. It cleans the floor so well it shines. So far I am very impressed with 450. Hope it helps.

The 800BLXL is in no way comparable to any VitaMix because this Breville only has two pre-set speeds. That's the major drawback to this model. The Breville BBL605XL Hemisphere Control Blender, on the other hand, has five speeds, so that model stands a chance of doing some of the things that a VM can do. The 605 is also the model that Cooks Illustrated chose as a best buy a while back.

My Bissell gets really hot and with the scrubber pad it got up everything, it does a great job. Then the soft pad keeps it clean for weeks after using the scrub pad, its been a real time saver for me I use to clean the floors on my knees and hand dry with a towel, the Bissell cleans better than I was able to do by hand.
