My sincerest Thank you, Sir My machine has been sitting for months bc I knew I had to call Bissell to be walked through what to do like a 5 yr old, and I was dreading it You showed me where the belt is, and I found mine to be off…not even broken, just off. The quickest fix ever! Can’t believe it! Thank you again!!

I’ve had this vacuum for a few years now and it’s still going strong. kzbin.infoUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g I was cleaning it today and thinking about how much I love no bags to buy and that it comes apart for easy clean up. When I first purchased it we had two dogs and a cat and it kept up well. The suction was great then and still is now. I’m always amazed at the amount of hair it picks up, it works better than any other vacuum I’ve had for pet hair. The attachments are handy and work well. It’s easy to use with arthritic hands. I just had to come write a review because I’m still so pleased with this purchase.

[@gradywilson9213]

I have done all of those things. We live in the Southwest where we have hard water, which clogs every thing small. Lastly I am 70 years old, nowhere near as flexible as I use to be, and my back reminds me of it. Bissell is a maintenance intensive cleaner, if I can't get it to work, I am going to have to look into a better product, where I don't have to do a complete rebuild everytime. If you are lucky enough to live 7 decades, you'll know what I mean someday 😊

[@andreah6175]

I come to learn from your videos and thought I'd have found the culprit but not quite. So thanks for showing me about the spinner filter, it was absolutely full of what looked like tiny crystal materials (tap/solution sediments most likely) After cleaning it, a little more accumulated. I can tell some water/solution is decreasing from the reservoir as well as some accumulation in the dirty tank but I am using it on linoleum to better see how the water is spraying & its intermittent & actually that spinner only moves every so often as well so to me there is some connection, meaning its only spraying when the spinner is moving but its not consistent to when I squeeze the trigger..... any ideas? Lastly, I find it strange that the dirty water tank is so large compared to the water tank, got to thinking Ive seen other models where clean water was added to the larger one but I dont see that on this model . Thanks for your time!

Still no spray from the bottom or the hand tool. I know there’s a way to reset the hand tool, but can’t recall…I think you just hold the spray button down for 10 seconds. At any rate, mine still isn’t working. I have to say…as much as I love how well this particular machine cleans, this is my 3rd one that just stops working altogether. This time I’m pretty mad about it because I’ve only used it about 5x on 2 bedrooms. I won’t be purchasing another bissell after this. That said…thank you so much for the walk thru.

[@GetRealBaby]

One thing not mentioned: When checking the belt, also check that the red ball the belt is wrapped around easily turns. If it doesn't, that is your problem. Lint, cat and dog hair, and carpet fibers can get clogged in the small recess between the red ball and the water pump, causing the red ball to stop spinning. Usually when that happens, you'll smell rubber "burning." The rubber belt will eventually break, but replacing the belt won't fix your problem if you don't clean out the debris that clogs the ball. Also, use a flat head screw driver to remover the belt cover, not a plastic stick. Good video. Good presentation. Time to wax your unit to make it shine! :)

[@VacMaster1991]

I didn't want to use a screwdriver and break the plastic clip.

[@GetRealBaby]

@@VacMaster1991 It won't break. Done it many times to check for and clean out fibers and stuff from that area. BTW, if ever think about buying a new Bissell "rug-scrubber,": you might want to check out the Bissell Powerforce Powerbrush. It's lightweight, does a great job, cleans easy, and sells for under $100. Because our kids are always asking to borrow ours, we ended up buying two. They're really worth every penny.

I have to lift the tank while it is running then set it back and only then will it hold a suction for about 10 minutes then you have to do it again. It is the most unreliable shampooer I have ever owned. The power switch is in the worst location ever. Constantly trying to find it to turn it on or off. The bracket that holds the hose attachments is always in the way and catching on furniture. There was zero attention to details when they designed this thing. When it does work, it works well, but thats only 20% of the time.
