Bissell Hose with Handle Flex

We have the Bissel Green Machine. It's great. Except the handle cracked like a month after getting it. I've tried taping it together with duct tape and superglue but to no use. This was a perfect drop in replacement. I wished they just sold the plastic handle and not the whole tube. Installation is fairly easy. You do need to take the bottom plate off as well as the 4 screws (two on each side) of the top plastic housing. Afterwards it's fairly easy, just connect the black tube and use the pinch pressure clips to lock it in. Kept me from having to buy a brand new vacuumm.

Easy to replace if you have an extra long philips screwdriver.

works great + simple replacement. it doesn't come with instructions, but it's not difficult - an easy 20-40 minute job. here's how.how to replace the assembly:(you'll need a Phillips head screwdriver and probably a set of needlenose pliers.)• unplug the machine from the wall outlet (duh...)• remove waste tank + fresh water tank• turn the machine over and unscrew bottom cover. there's six screws here.- you'll probably want to put the bottom cover in the tub or something, especially if your steamer has heavy use and there's a few years of jank inside...eww.• flip the machine over and unscrew the top housing cover. there's four screws here - two on each side of the housing, located where the water tanks sit. the switches on the top housing are connected to the motor with a few wires. they can be easily disconnected if you'd like. you might find it easier to disconnect the switches and set the top housing aside, but remember to label the wires.• find where the current little fresh water hose is connected to the water pump. on this replacement part, it's the small black rubber hose, but on my old model it was clear.• it's usually connected to the pump with a squeeze-type hose clamp. your model might differ, but for me I used the needlenose pliers to gently squeeze the clamp and pull it back onto the clear hose. this releases the pressure around the connection and you'll be able to gently pull it right off.• save the hose clamp - this replacement doesn't come with one.• pull the rubber hose back towards the rear of the steamer where it comes in from underneath. you might need to use the pliers to gently tug it through.• flip the machine over and pull the rubber hose out from the top of the machine.• the whole flex assembly is attached with two screws - one underneath the rubber hose you just pulled out from the top and the other near the waste tank. unscrew these and throw the old unit away. (again, it's probably really gross anyhow so why save it...)• screw the new assembly into place.• thread the little black rubber hose up from the bottom of the unit to the pump up top. you might have to gently pull an inch or two more hose out from the flex tube so it reaches the pump. if you do, that's ok.• flip the machine over and slide the hose clamp onto the end of the black rubber hose.• gently slide the hose onto the end of the pump and use needlenose pliers to secure the hose to the pump.• if you disconnected the switches in the top housing, reconnect them now and place the top housing back onto the main body.• before screwing the top housing in, plug the unit it and flip it on for a quick second. you want to make sure the switches are properly reconnected before fastening the housing in place. if it works, screw the top housing in place.• flip the machine on its back one last time - screw the bottom cover in place.• replace the waste tank and fresh water tank. attach a brush tool to the flex assembly, plug in the unit and give it a test run.• see if the vacuum function works and squeeze + hold down the water trigger. it'll take a second or two for the pump to get fresh water to the brush tool - keep squeezing the trigger and it should spray after a short delay.

Works as it should

I used this to replace my Bissell pro heat spot bot. It was a pain to replace as you have to dismantle the whole unit to access. YouTube videos show how to do this easier. For me, it was worth replacing vs buying a new unit. Quality seems equal to OEM and for me was worth the money.

Just what I ordered perfect fit great product

The product looked like it was high quality and it fit my Bissell perfectly. It was a super easy install and fixed the problem right away, which in my case was no water coming out of the hose.It does seem like instructions should come with it for those who aren't handy. But it's seven screws and it's pretty straightforward to see where all the parts go. There are several videos on YouTube to walk you through it if you get stumped.Great product, great price, came quick, and got my Bissell Little Green machine back up and running and not in landfill!

Although the color was a bit off for my older model little green, it works and looks great!I needed a new hose due to someone in my family putting powdered soap into the tank which clogged the sprayer nozzle.. but this hose came in clutch!It’s been about a few months and there is no signs of leakage from the hose and for a cheap OEM part like this, you can’t go wrong about it.
