Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution Pet vs. Proheat 2x Revolution Pet Pro

This in-depth comparison of the Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution Pet and the Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution Pet Pro carpet cleaners. Spoiler: the Pet Pro version consistently outperforms the competition. 

Main similarities between these models

They both look very similar except for the color and are designed to handle more like vacuum cleaners than traditional carpet cleaners as such they weigh the same at 18 pounds. Both have triggers that dispense pre-mixed water and solution mix and the same cleaning path with just a little over 10 inches which is pretty big for this style of carpet cleaner. 

A built-in water tank holds 1 gallon of water but you could probably get much more use out of one tank if you were using it in its express mode. Speaking of that they both have a three-level water dispensing adjustment switch. For example, on their lowest setting, the express setting will clean the carpets using a minimal amount of water. Which obviously would dry faster as well.

Bissell claims carpets have a 30-minute dry time in express mode. The 2x in both their names means that they have the same two spinning brush roll design which is one of the best designs out there. Both have Bissell's heatwave technology. Which maintains a constant warm water temperature throughout the cleaning process. They also both come with a separate hose and two different attachments and can be used in a variety of different ways in handheld mode. 

The main difference is the clean shot feature available on the Pet Pro version

It is a little spray nozzle at the front of the cleaner head, which is activated by a foot pedal. When pressed it sprays a water solution mix directly on a particularly tough stain. They seem to suggest that this would help to clean stains from the bottom of the carpet because it really soaks the stain which seems a little counterintuitive.

They have different hose lengths, but not by many 8 feet on the Pet Pro versus 7 feet on the Pet. They also had different cord links 22 feet on the Pet versus 25 feet on the Pet Pro.

One interesting difference was that the Pet Pro has a removable plate that gives access to the brush rollers from the top for cleaning the brushes. And the price. The Pet Pro is about a third more expensive than the Pet version which is pretty significant. 

Testing

In the dried test was used Georgia red clay grape juice V8 juice and cola stains were left to dry for 24 hours. And used the same four-ounce to one-gallon solution in both units.

After two back and forth passes with the trigger pressed on the forward push and dry suction only on the backward pull there is no real difference with the possible exception of the v8 stain which was more about the mistake of not matching the placement of the stain on the carpet.

Nevertheless with an additional four back and forth passes still no difference between the two and they were both nearly perfect certainly better than average with this test as having seen in similar tests against the competition. 

Similarly, with the wet stain tests, no clear difference they both had the same excellent pickup there too. Should also mention that there were no obvious differences with dry time the carpet on the major tests were dry after 24 hours and the light tests were dry much quicker which obviously varies depending on how much water was used.

With the handheld tests, did start to notice some differences at least with ease of use. The hoses both plug in the same way which is actually very easy to compare and they for the most part function the same way in that you hold down the trigger for water to spray out and you scrub the stains as needed. 

Attachments

Two attachments one of which is the three-inch upholstery tool which is the exact same on both models. The Bissell Pet Pro is the more expensive one does come with a 2-in-1 pet upholstery tool which seems to be mostly intended for upholstery with pet hair on it. In addition to a wet and dry mode which is a different feature, it has a removable trap that separates pet hair. And other bad stuff which did seem to work okay, but did feel like the majority of the hair went through the hose anyway.

The cheaper pet version comes with a second handheld attachment tool. It's called the pet stain tool it also has some rubberized tips where water sprays out of. It works just as well as the two-in-one pet upholstery tool in terms of cleaning. It also seemed easier to use because it wasn't as big and awkward.

Conclusion

When fluid amounts were taken into consideration and not even really preferring the 2-in-1 handheld tool over the attachment that comes with the Pet version it's pretty much a no-brainer that the ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet version is the better value here.
