Thanks for buying a BISSELL Steam & Sweep

We’re glad you purchased a BISSELL Steam & Sweep. Everything we know about floor care went into the design and construction of this complete, high-tech home cleaning system.

Your Steam & Sweep is well made, and we back it with a limited two year warranty. We also stand behind it with a knowledgeable, dedicated Consumer Services department, so, should you ever have a problem, you’ll receive fast, considerate assistance.
