I have five cats. Five cats + 1 DH + 1 child = DISASTER for your carpet. If I told you how many times I steam clean a month, you wouldn’t believe me. So for our family to have a STRONG, reliable steam cleaner (and vacuum) is a worthwhile investment. Between household spills, cat fur, shoe tracks, cat throw up, kid throw up, and every day dirt and wear, our tan carpet can take a HUGE beating. I know personally, our stairs see the most traffic and pile up of dirt! That’s why it was a no brainer to go to Bissell and beg ask for a steam cleaner for a mom in my position.
Enter Bissell.
Bissell has been around for 130 YEARS and let me add, Bissell was the FIRST American company with a FEMALE CEO!! (and look, now we have a female running for VP!).
About Bissell:
You could call us a company full of neat freaks. And that’s fine. Because at BISSELL, all we care about is finding ways to make your home a cleaner place. For more than 130 years, our family-owned corporation has developed and created the world’s best cleaning tools. From the deep-down microscopic source of your family’s wheezing and sniffling to the stains, dirt and animal dander that wreak havoc on your home life. We’ve redefined the concept of clean with a family of innovative floor care products such as vacuums, carpet sweepers, carpet deep cleaners and bare floor vacuums. Along with a full line of time-tested floor cleaning chemicals. Each product is designed to improve the ways you take care of your home, especially the biggest home of all – Earth. Using our innovative spirit, we’re constantly searching for new ways to make our products safer for the environment. After all, when BISSELL says clean, we mean clean.
Bissells ProDry ($199), THEIR NEWEST and best carpet cleaner, has a ton of features that make it easy and useful for everyday usage for Mom (or dad):
Bissell Pro-Dry is engineered for your floors to dry in THIRTY MINUTES! Before you are done with dinner, your carpet is ready to put the baby back on it!
Your BISSELL PROdry carpet cleaner is a home cleaning system that uses a combination of hot tap water, BISSELL advanced cleaning formula, the innovative TLR PowerRoller and suction to safely clean carpet and area rugs. TLR PowerRoller™ The TLR PowerRoller is designed for great cleaning performance with fast drying results. It Traps, Lifts and Removes dirt and debris. Unlike traditional carpet cleaners, where cleaning solution is sprayed directly into the carpet, the TLR PowerRoller absorbs the majority of the spray from the machine, meaning your carpet and area rugs get cleaned and revitalized, while still allowing you to get back on them in less than 30 minutes. When in the upright position, for storage or tool use, the TLR PowerRoller is lifted off the floor surface and held in space. This will also help the TLR PowerRoller dry between uses. The TLR PowerRoller can be washed or replaced as needed.
Now that I told you all that…I bet you want to know where to buy one! Bissell is located in all states and just by going here to the product finder and putting in your zip code, you can hunt down your closest store. Here is a hint..leave the computer screen open so your husband sees it.

I need a new vacuum. This looks great.
I love everything on this site lol. I don’t have three cats but do have 3 kids two dogs and 1 cat. Oh yeah and not to mention 4 new puppies lol. Thank you for another great contest. stunn68@gmail.com
WOW! Could I use that!
Bissell is THE name in quality for floor care!
i love that they have a multi allergen formula cleaner
Ooh, last chance. Would love the Quick Steamer with Power Brush!
We could totally use a Garage Pro™ Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner. We don’t have a garage, but we do have a basement that floods once every year or two.
My hubby is the king of crumbs. He leaves a trail of cookies, crackers, etc whereever he goes. This is such a great vacuum.
My vacumn is on it’s last leg, The little Green machine really seems great!!
The ProHeat® ClearView® looks great to get out deep down dirt. I could definitely use that!
I have asthma so I am always looking for products that clean and reduce allergens in my home. When I went to the Bissell site, I was surprised to find the Acarosan Dust Mite Spray. That will be something that I try in the near future. We already use the Bissell Multi-Allergen Removal Cleaner.
We have two cats and two small dogs. The dogs stay on the first floor only. I love floors try within 30 minutes after using this Bissell machine. That’s good news, especially in the winter.
I love the Bissell Pro-Dry. Thanks!!!
With 1 kid, 2 dogs and 4 cats who all go in and outside I really need a Bissell. I would love to try the Steam Mop.
My favourite Bissell product is: ProHeat 2X® CleanShot®, although any would be welcome.
I have 3 teen boys, 1 cat (she has very dark fur) and a husband. We are all runners and I am the only one who is apparently capable of taking off my shoes, which means everything picked up from running the streets or the trails gets tracked into my home not to mention the sweaty teen boys who lie about on the carpets.
Dreaming of a Bissell.
i have two cats and carpet everywhere. the pet hair eraser vacuum will surely come in handy!

The Versus bare floor vacuum looks handy dandy!!
If I could pick a bissell product, it would certainly be the Pro Dry. Our landlord had promised to pull up the dirty, dusty carpet in our house before we moved in, but it never happened. This would be gladly and immediately used on all of our carpets to help alleviate our allergy problems and help make the house look a little more presentable.
Both of our machines are extremely old and makes us old using them. Ha. We could use this.
Our Little Green Machine by Bissell just died recently, and with all the kids and animals running through the house, I sure need one of these.
i spilled a couple of ashtrays an carpet cleaner and a vacuum arent working my favorite product for now is the pro dry i would love to have 1
I have a fur baby a Bernese Mountain Dog. The dog that is in one of the bisell commerical. Her winter coat just is coming in. In the Spring the hair will be all over the house. I also have a german sherpard, huskey, chow. She does not shredded as much as the Bernese. But she at to the mess.
The two boy are worst then the two dog.
I love the Bissell Pro-Dry. I have 3 little kids and neighbors running in and out all day. I need to get those carpets cleaned and spills cleaned up.
I like the ProHeat 2X® Select Pet, and the scsary thing it is more for me because of the amount of heair I lose.
The pet carpet cleaner would be great for my house with my doggies!
I have the hard floor steam mop at home and for the kitchen it is the fastest way to clean floors EVER! I hate mopping. I hate dirty carpets too,,,8 year old,,2 cats,,, just like everyone else I need some help please!!!!
I love Bissel! I had a Little Green for the longest time, and it just recently kicked it. I have been on the hunt for a new one, but it just isn’t in the budget.
With two kids, the foot traffic is crazy busy. I don’t even really remember the last time our floors were their orginal color.
Thanks!
The PowerSteamer Pro looks great, I love that it automatically adjusts the amount of cleaning solution applied to carpet.
