The BISSELL HydroClean ProHeat Complete (Model 1474J) is a versatile multi-function water filtration vacuum designed for comprehensive home cleaning. This innovative appliance combines the power of a water filtration vacuum with the deep cleaning capabilities of a wet cleaner, offering a complete solution for various floor and upholstery types.
Function Description:
The HydroClean ProHeat Complete operates in two primary modes: Water Filter Vacuum Mode and Wet Clean Mode.
-
Water Filter Vacuum Mode: In this mode, the cleaner utilizes a water filtration system to trap dirt and allergens, providing a deeper and cleaner vacuuming experience compared to traditional bag or bagless vacuums. The collection tank must be filled with clean tap water to the "clean water fill line" for proper operation. This mode is ideal for dry vacuuming carpets, rugs, and hard floors, effectively capturing dust, pet hair, and other debris within the water, preventing them from recirculating into the air. It is crucial never to operate the cleaner in Filter Vac mode without clean tap water in the collection tank, as this can damage the motor.
-
Wet Clean Mode: This mode transforms the appliance into a powerful deep cleaner for carpets, rugs, upholstery, and sealed hard floors. It incorporates BISSELL's Heatwave Technology™, which helps maintain the temperature of the hand hot tap water added to the solution tank, ensuring consistent heat for effective cleaning. In Wet Clean mode, the cleaner dispenses a mixture of water and BISSELL cleaning formula onto the surface, agitates the dirt, and then suctions away the dirty solution, leaving surfaces clean and refreshed. Specific BISSELL formulas are recommended for different surfaces (carpet/upholstery or hard floors) to ensure optimal results and prevent damage to the machine or voiding the guarantee.
