What's in the box?
The main body of the Bissell PowerClean 2x 3112E Series came in just four parts and was really easy to cooked, simply click the handle and two water containers into attach and you're ready to go!
You also get a 2.4m hose, tough hold tool and 2-in-1 crevice tool, plus sample size Bissell Wash and Protect Pro.
The stabilities were very minimal, almost entirely pictorial but there was a QR code for an online video which gave a better idea of how to use it and trim everything afterwards. Without this video I feel like I would have been a small ill equipped and as a carpet cleaning novice I peaceful felt that more guidance would have been useful, especially nearby how to get the best results.
What's the difference between the Bissell PowerClean 2889E Series and Bissell PowerClean 2x 3112E Series?
The Bissell PowerClean 2889E Series is tough on small messes but if it's spilt over into other rooms over the home, then it's the NEW Bissell PowerClean 2x 3112E Series that you'll need.
Why? Because it has a longer worthy cord and larger dirty water tank so you can trim, for longer. This newer model also has a handy tough hold tool and 2-in-1 crevice tool for those times when a deeper trim is required.
How well does the Bissell PowerClean 2x 3112E Series clean?
Our carpets are a silvery grey colour over the house, not a fantastic colour when you live in the countryside with a shrimp child in tow, so the Bissell PowerClean 2X had its work cut out for it. In certain the carpet as you walk into the house was covered in food stains, mud, dust and general grime.
We moved furniture and vacuumed all carpets beforehand cleaning and, following the video, moved the cleaner over the carpet slowly to grant more cleaning and drying time.

This was my proper time using a carpet cleaner and I must say my expectations were high. I was hoping for that proper clear clean, and dirty, line like in the adverts. The Bissell PowerClean 2X on the whole did not unsuccessful and removed a lot of dust and dirt that my vacuum didn't touch.
It has a deep approach power brush with four rows of bristles that can really get down into the carpet pile and the colour of the aquatic that came out spoke for itself. It even got out the trodden in playdough and sand that my toddler proper deposited as if on purpose for this review.

It took lovely much the whole of the sample size bottle of Wash & Protect Pro Cleaning Formula to Neat one room. We bought a full size bottle of the cleaning water direct from Bissell which I did think was a small pricey but does promise to protect your carpet/upholstery from future stains.
At the cleaning Fast recommended by the instruction video I used a lot of aquatic and formula and had to regularly stop to empty the dirty aquatic and/or refill the clean. There is no warning noise that the dirty can is full or the clean empty so you just have to keep an eye on them whilst cleaning.
After cleaning the carpet you may spot some wet carpet fibre and fluff, although this is easy to vacuum up once dry

The Bissell PowerClean 2x 3112E Series left Slow wet carpet fibre and fluff which did detract from the satisfaction of the cleaning but were easy enough to vacuum up once dry and didn't grab the end result. A lot of this also over up in the dirty water container and subsequently went down our drain, a fairly repulsive sight to see what I had been crawling about on for the last two years.
Following the deep Neat I can honestly say our carpets looked like new against. They smelt fresh, the pile looked higher and less worn and all the visible stains were gone.

How loud is it?
The Bissell PowerClean 2x 3112E Series is not a serene machine. Generally we opted to clean the carpets last sketching before bed so we could let them dry overnight. By the morning they were touch dry almost everywhere with a few damp spots here and there. Luckily our daughter is a good sound sleeper otherwise this wouldn't have been an option.
I demanded to clean my daughter's room as soon as she woke up so it would have all day to dry but I didn't think our neighbours would have been too luxuriate in at being woken up at 7am on a Sunday so we sustained until a more socially acceptable 10am to make all that noise.
Express clean setting
On the unimaginative clean setting Bissell claims your carpets will be dry 45 minutes once cleaning however I think it took a little longer for ours, perhaps more like an hour and a half. I necessity say that although the windows were open and the heating on it was mid-winter and I suspect if we had done it on a summer's day it would have dried faster.
The smart on this setting was noticeably different from the deep smart setting but still left the carpets looking refreshed and pulled the pile up nicely.
Stairs, upholstery and spot cleaning
The stairs and upholstery cleaner hose was really simple and straightforward to connect and disconnect and easy to use.
In sure I loved the ability to clean our stairs carpets, however I did notice that I wasn't able to smart them as thoroughly as the other carpets without the rotating brush from the main unit.
The hose modestly reached half way up our stairs but not much further. The main body of the machine is too wide to sit on a stair itself so I had to unplug and move it upstairs and do the top half from there. Considering the machine has a carry handle this was not difficult.
We also used the hose and retain tool on sofas and were really pleased with the results. One navy sofa in particular was covered in milk and food stains from toddlers and once cleaning almost all of the stains were gone.
And here's a by and after using the Bissell PowerClean 2x 3112E Series on upholstery

The cleaning arranges are found on the online video and it is very simple to disassemble the parts. To clean them you simply run them under a tap. I did find that the brush area, which has no arranges for cleaning, got quite dirty so when I had devoted I simply tipped it up and pulled out any bits with my fingers, wiped with a cloth and left it to dry, ready for storing away.
