Deceptive
October 4, 2024

Bissell steam shot was recalled and settlement awarded Bissell failed to comply with their own guidelines in providing the refund in 4- 6 weeks. After several calls and involving the BBB, Bissell reponed stating the check was issued and would take another 2- 4 weeks. If the check was issued timely, why is it taking an additional 2- 4 weeks added to the original time frame. How many other consumers are facing the same deceptive practice. I refused to accept their response. I will probably lose the money as Bissell's retaliation for my complaints

I bought one to clean in between normal mopping, I could mop quicker then getting this thing going. Mapping program is not great, it has water tank issues etc. Do yourself a favor don't buy one, wasted money.

I purchased an open box Little Green machine from Walmart. It was missing 1 part. I contacted Bissell customer service. Although the online chat was slow on a Saturday, the rep still was easy to deal with and courteous. Bissell is sending me a replacement part free of charge. Excellent customer service. And the Little Green unit works perfectly to spot clean my carpet.

I've been on hold for 1.5 hours waiting for a representative to assist me with support regarding a bissell carpet shampooer product I purchased. No one answered my call, this is my second attempt. Very frustrating! They either don't have enough support agents or customer support is non existent.

Waste of Money
June 6, 2023

I bought a Bissell Pet Hair eraser in April. I was not able to use it until three weeks ago due to having a full knee replacement. The first time I used it, I notice a 2 inch wide area of the brush roller does not pick anything up. Cuatomer service says you're supposed to take the whole vacuum apart for maintenance after every use. But this was the first time it was used out of the box. Plus, who ever heard of having to take the vacuum apart after each use? That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard! I had a Shark for five years, and that thing was a beast. It never missed anything. Of course Bissell won't take this piece of junk back, either. Make no mistake, there will NEVER be another over-priced, useless Bissell in my house!

Very satisfied
October 18, 2023

I have a Bissell Pet Hair Eraser that I have used for several years. I'm a disabled veteran who is in a wheelchair and the vacuum cleaner has been perfect for me. When the power foot quit working, I contacted customer service. They paid for FedEx to pick it up and as soon as they got it, they sent me a replacement vacuum that was new. I have been extremely satisfied with customer service and what they did for me.

Called 11/1/23 for replacement rolls for my Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro since they are no longer stocked with Wal Mart, etc. A gentleman answered, had no idea what I was asking, placed me on hold for over 15 minutes. I hung up and ordered from Amazon. Eeeeessshhhh!

Bought an upholstery spot cleaner that failed to spray within 1 year (Model *******G). Reached out to product support, they sent me the troubleshooting guide for low pressure spray. This did not work, so they recommended a Bissell service center. Nearest one was 150 miles away.

So, silly me, I thought I had a lemon and bought another one (5207G). I was this time very careful to thoroughly rinse out the spray nozzle after each use with clean water.
The same. Exact. Failure. Happened again within a year. Reached out to product support and they sent me the same guide which was not helpful and then recommended a local service center 150miles away... When I asked if there was another option they offered me 20% off my next purchase with "free shipping."

No thanks. Garbage product. Garbage support.
You will never receive a cent of my money again.

Update to Bissell
January 2, 2024

Finally, after getting someone on the phone about the Bissell, I am told that the warranty will only be a rebuilt machine and whatever time left will be my warranty. They will not replace with a new machine even though I have only had the Bissell for less than a month. I am really shocked that aa company this large has such a poor repair/replacement/warranty policy. I will never buy a Bissell product again
