The Bissell ProHeat 2X 9200T receives generally positive reviews from owners and a Best Buy award from ConsumerGuide.com. This model includes a built-in heater, rotating brushes, and has a 12 amp motor. It's a bit less expensive than the Bissell ProHeat 2X Select 9400M (*Est. $250); the 9200T model skips most of the extra tools and isn't treated with Microban. Most owners say it does a good job cleaning, but some complain that it must be partly disassembled (by removing four screws) to clean and dry it after use, and several say that it leaves the carpet very wet. We also read more than the usual number of complaints about early breakdowns. Both the Bissell ProHeat 2X 9200 and 9200T can be used on bare floors; the 9200T includes an additional tool for cleaning grout but the two are otherwise identical. Another upright carpet cleaner, the Hoover SteamVac with Clean Surge F5914-900 (*Est. $150) receives more owner reviews and a higher average rating.
We found the best reviews for the Bissell ProHeat 2X 9200T at online retailers like Amazon.com, Target.com and BestBuy.com. ConsumerGuide.com also reviews this carpet cleaner, but it doesn't appear to have been tested.

3. BestBuy.com
A few dozen owner comments at BestBuy.com echo those on other retailer websites: the Bissell does a good job getting carpet clean, but often leaves it wet and is prone to breaking down unexpectedly.
Review: Bissell ProHeat 2X Upright Deep Cleaner - Blue - 9200, Contributors to BestBuy.com
The Bissell receives a Best Buy award from the editors of ConsumerGuide.com, but there's no indication the carpet cleaner was tested. The accompanying write-up is puzzling -- it goes into great detail about how the 9200 differs from older models -- but says little about performance.
