This document describes the BISSELL PROHEAT 2X Remanufactured 1383 Series deep cleaner, a high-tech home cleaning system designed for effective carpet, upholstery, and hard floor cleaning.
Function Description:
The BISSELL PROHEAT 2X is a versatile deep cleaner engineered to provide thorough cleaning for various surfaces. Its primary function is to deep clean carpets and area rugs, removing embedded dirt, stains, and pet hair. It also features attachments for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas. Select models include a hard floor attachment and specialized formula for effective cleaning of linoleum, vinyl, and tile floors. The machine utilizes a combination of cleaning solution, hot water, and powerful suction to lift and extract dirt and moisture from surfaces. The patented built-in heater is a key feature, designed to heat hot tap water up to 25 degrees hotter (without exceeding 190°F) to optimize cleaning effectiveness. This heater can be turned off when cleaning delicate wool or oriental rugs. The machine is designed for both wet cleaning and dry suction passes to aid in drying.
