Below are some of the portable carpet cleaners from Bissell SpotClean series:

  • Bissell SpotClean ProHeat Portable Carpet Cleaner such as 2694
  • Bissell SpotClean ProHeat Pet Portable Carpet Cleaner such as 2513W
  • Bissell SpotClean Pro Portable Carpet Cleaner such as 3624 and 3194
  • Bissell SpotClean Pet Pro Portable Carpet Cleaner such as 2458

images from Bissell infomercials


They can be categorized into two different machines.
The SpotClean ProHeat 2694 and Pet 2513W are different from the other two: SpotClean Professional 3624/3194 and Pet Pro 2458, while the standard 2694 and Pet 2513W are almost identical to each other, the Pro and Pet Pro are almost the same.

Bissell SpotClean ProHeat 2694/Pet 2513W vs Pro/Pet Pro

  • The ProHeat/ProHeat Pet have a different shape from the pro and pet pro.
  • The ProHeat/ProHeat Pet feature the HeatWave technology. Many people think that the HeatWave means there is a heater inside the machine. NO. It has no heater to warm up the water, the HeatWave is something that use the heat generated by the motor to help maintain the water temperature while you are cleaning with this spot cleaner machine.
  • The ProHeat/ProHeat Pet are smaller when compared to the pro and pet pro, the tank capacity is only 37 ounces, much smaller than the tank on the other two which have a capacity of 96 ounces. Smaller tank means you need to fill and empty the tank more frequently.
  • The ProHeat/ProHeat Pet are lighter, weighs 9.2 lbs versus 13.25 lbs of the pro and pet pro. So it takes less effort to carry it around.
  • The ProHeat/ProHeat Pet have a shorter power cord which is 15-foot long versus 20-foot on the pro and pet pro. So it may require you to switch outlets more often.
  • It has 2.3 amps motor while the other two have 5.7 amps motor.
  • The ProHeat comes with a 3-inch Tough Stain Tool, a Deep Stain Tool, and a HydroRinse Self-Cleaning Hose Tool, The Pet version 2513W comes with a Spraying Crevice Tool, a 3-in-1 Stair Tool, a 3-inch Tough Stain Tool and a HydroRinse Self Cleaning Hose Tool, whereas the Pro 3624 comes with a 3-inch Tough Stain Tool and a
    6-inch Stair Tool, the Pro 3194 comes with a 3-inch Tough Stain Tool and a Deep Stain Tool, the Pet Pro comes with a 3-inch Tough Stain Tool and a Stain Trapper Tool.

SpotClean Pro 3624 vs 3194 vs 2458 Pet Pro
(The model 3194 is exclusive to Amazon, it has two names: SpotClean Pro or LittleGreen Pro.)
These machines do NOT have the HeatWave feature.
They are very similar except for small cosmetic difference and included accessories.

  • The Pro 3624 is Black, 3194 is Bossanova Blue, whereas the Pet Pro is Grapevine Purple and Black.
  • The Pro 3624 includes a 3-inch Tough Stain Tool and a 6-inch Stair Tool, the Pro 3194 comes with a 3-inch Tough Stain Tool and a Deep Stain Tool, whereas the Pet Pro includes a 3-inch Tough Stain Tool and a Stain Trapper Tool.
    As the name shows, the 6-inch Stair Tool is designed for carpeted staircase cleaning, its wide cleaning path makes it easy to clean stairs.
    The Stain Trapper Tool is a hand tool for removing stains and has its own container to collect the messes.

    image from Bissell infomercial

  • The Pro 3624 comes with a trial-size bottle of PRO MAX Clean + Protect formula, the Pro 3194 comes with 8 oz. trial-size bottle of PRO MAX Clean + Protect formula and one trial size Deep Clean + ANTIBACTERIAL formula, whereas the Pet Pro comes with two trial-size bottles of PET PRO OXY Urine Eliminator formula.

Overall, if you want a smaller one with HeatWave technology, buy the Bissell SpotClean ProHeat 2694 or Pet 2513W; if you want a more powerful one with larger tanks and longer cord, consider the SpotClean Professional 3624/3194 or Pet Pro 2458. As for Pro and Pet Pro, just pick the one that is cheaper, or the one with color you like, or with tools you prefer.

    Hoover PowerDash vs Bissell TurboClean: similar and 2 of the best carpet cleaners for small apartment,homes,spaces,area rugs

    Leave a reply

    If you have a small home, buying a compact size carpet shampooer will be a better option than getting a bulky one. Since it is lighter, smaller, easier to move around and requires less room to store. And it’s much cheaper.
    When compared to little spot cleaners, the compact uprights handle the jobs better on cleaning a whole area rug. Because you do not have to knee down and use your hands to keep pressing the hand tool to scrub the rugs, and the hand tool usually is too small to clean an entire area rug, it takes much more time and effort than an upright.
    So, for small areas, a compact rug shampooer is a better choice than a full size or a spot cleaner.

    Then what’s the best carpet cleaner for small areas?
    In fact, there are not so many good choices on the market. The Hoover PowerDash Pet and Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet are two of the best ones out there, at least, above average. Though they are not perfect and do not clean as deeply as the full size ones, they do their jobs for their size and price.

    Hoover PowerDash Pet vs Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet, which is the best to buy?

    images from Hoover and Bissell infomercials


    These two machines has many similarities:

    • They are small upright carpet extractors.
    • Easy to put together.
    • Pretty lightweight, weigh less than 13 pounds. Some big ones weigh approximately 50 pounds, such as the Bissell Big Green 86T3.
    • Feature separate clean water tank and collection tank, and have a tank capacity of 0.5 gallons.
    • They do not have a separate detergent tank. You pour the detergent into the clean water tank.
    • The operation process is almost the same, you fill the clean water tank with warm water to the water line, then add detergent to the formula line. Squeeze the spray trigger for a slow forward and backward wet pass, then release the trigger to make one slow forward and backward dry stroke over the same spots.
    • Please note that both of them do not come with any attachments for cleaning upholstery, couches, or other above floor spots.
    • Both come with a trial size bottle of formula.
    • Have a 20-foot cable.
    • Easy to remove nozzle with no tool needed.
    • Need tools to remove screws to reach the brushes.
    • Carry one year limited warranty.
    • Similar price tag. Commonly the TurboClean costs approximately 100 dollars on official sites while the PowerDash costs approximately 110 dollars.

    The major difference between Hoover PowerDash and Bissell TurboClean:

    • Handle
      The Bissell TurboClean has a retractable handle that collapses for storing in small space.
      The Hoover PowerDash handle is not extendable.
    • Side Brushes

      image from Bissell infomercial


      The Bissell TurboClean has side brushes to help clean along baseboards and around furniture.
      The Hoover PowerDash does not have any edge bristles.
    • Power Rating
      The Bissell TurboClean: 3.4 amps
      The Hoover PowerDash: 7. 0 amps
    • Maintenance
      Both require tool to remove screws to clean the brushes and brush compartment. However, the Hoover PowerDash takes more effort to clean up, it has like 5 to 6 screws to remove while the Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet has only one screw to remove, and the Hoover brush compartment is also harder to clean.
    • Performance
      They both do the jobs. The cleaning results at the same level, no significant difference.

    Overall, these two small upright carpet cleaners are designed for homes with limited space and pets, they are very similar, they have similar size, price, performance results. The main thing that may affect your buying decision is the Hoover PowerDash Pet requires a bit more work to clean up after each use than the Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet.

    Some more information about these 2 shampooers:

But you should always check with your carpet/rug manufacturer for their recommended cleaning method before selecting the cleaning mode.

    • P.S.
    It is recommended to read all the instructions in the user guide before using to reduce or avoid common problems caused by improper uses. Some leaking and worse smell problems that users complained could be avoided. But if you get a lemon,that’s another story.
    This is a carpet washer, not a vacuum cleaner, so you should not move it as fast as a vacuum. You should move it slower to avoid leaving excess water on the carpet or rugs.
    All parts should be dried thoroughly before storing. Some users suggest holding down the spray button to release any remaining solution inside the parts of the machine could help avoid mildew odor.

    If you live in a small home, the above big size carpet extractors may not fit your needs. What you need is a compact machine that is smaller and takes up less space. However, smaller size machines are not as powerful as the big ones, and they do not clean as thoroughly as the big guys. If you are interested in buying a small one, you can have a look at the Hoover PowerDash and Bissell TurboClean.
