Quick Answer: Best Buy sells carpet cleaners from Bissell, Hoover, and Tineco — the ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus (list $279.99, frequently promoted to about $239.99), SmartWash+ (about $269.99), and the Carpet One Cruiser (list $699.99, commonly discounted to about $599) — both in-store and online. The genuine differentiator versus every other retailer we’ve checked (Amazon, Walmart, Target, Costco, Lowe’s): Best Buy openly sells open-box and refurbished units of the same models at a discount, a condition tier the others don’t surface this visibly. The tradeoff is returns — Best Buy’s standard window is just 15 days, the shortest of any retailer in this series, unless you pay for a My Best Buy Plus or Total membership to extend it to 60.
Last verified: October 2026 — re-checked Best Buy’s own listings. The Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus is currently running a $40 promo ($239.99 vs. $279.99 list); the Tineco Carpet One Cruiser’s real Best Buy price is $699.99 list / ~$599 on sale, higher than this guide previously stated; and the cheaper Tineco Carpet One Complete no longer shows as available new on Best Buy’s product page — if you want that specific model, check Tineco’s own site or another retailer first.
If you’re comparing where to actually buy a carpet cleaner rather than which model to get, Best Buy is worth a look mainly for one reason: it’s the only big-box retailer in this lineup that treats open-box and refurbished stock as a first-class, clearly-labeled option instead of an occasional clearance fluke.
What’s on the shelf
| Model | Brand | Typical price | Condition tiers seen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus | Bissell | $279.99 list, ~$239.99 promo | New, open-box |
| Hoover SmartWash+ | Hoover | ~$269.99 | New, refurbished |
| Hoover SmartWash Pet | Hoover | varies | New |
| Tineco Carpet One Complete | Tineco | no longer listed new | Not currently available |
| Tineco Carpet One Cruiser | Tineco | $699.99 list, ~$599 sale | New |
That’s a genuine three-brand lineup — narrower than Target’s 11-model Bissell-only spread, but the only one of the five retailers we’ve covered where Hoover, Bissell, and Tineco all show up together. Unlike Lowe’s (Bissell and Shark only, no Hoover or Tineco), Best Buy’s catalog crosses all three of this site’s major reviewed brands in one place.
Hoover SmartWash+
- Same auto triggerless-spray system covered in our Hoover SmartWash+ review.
- Best Buy lists this model at roughly $269.99 new — but also carries a "Refurbished Excellent" condition listing for the same SKU at a lower price, something none of the other retailers in this series (Walmart, Target, Costco, Lowe's) do this openly.
- Refurbished units typically carry a shorter or different warranty than new stock — check the listing's specific terms before assuming it matches Hoover's standard coverage.

The open-box/refurbished angle — genuinely different here
Every retailer occasionally clears out a returned unit, but Best Buy is the only one in this series that lists open-box and refurbished carpet cleaners as a standing, clearly-labeled catalog option rather than an occasional one-off. A Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus can show up as a full-price new unit and a discounted open-box listing on the same product page. That’s worth knowing if your priority is price over having a fully sealed box — but it also means Best Buy’s “typical price” for a given model can look artificially wide compared to Target’s single-condition, fixed-price listings.
Return policy: the shortest window we’ve found
Best Buy’s standard return policy gives you 15 days from the date you receive an item to return or exchange it for a full refund — new, open-box, refurbished, and clearance items all fall under the same window. That’s half of Walmart’s already-narrow 30-day floor-care cutoff, and a sixth of the 90-day windows at Target and Lowe’s. If you pay for a My Best Buy Plus or My Best Buy Total membership, that window extends to 60 days — still shorter than Target’s or Lowe’s no-membership-required 90 days, but a meaningful upgrade over the base 15. For a carpet cleaner specifically, where problems like uneven suction or a stubborn odor sometimes don’t show up until you’ve run a few rooms, a 15-day window is tight — worth factoring in before choosing Best Buy over a longer-window retailer for a model you’re not already sure about.
Bottom line
Best Buy earns a spot in this retailer series for one real reason: it’s the only big-box option that sells Bissell, Hoover, and Tineco side by side, with open-box and refurbished condition tiers the other retailers don’t surface this clearly. The tradeoff is the shortest standard return window we’ve checked — 15 days, versus 30 at Walmart and 90 at Target or Lowe’s — unless you’re already paying for a Best Buy membership. If return flexibility matters more than open-box pricing, Target or Lowe’s is the safer buy; if you want the widest brand mix under one roof with a shot at a discounted unit, Best Buy is worth checking first. One more option worth a look if you’re near one: Ace Hardware sells Bissell only, but many of its franchise locations also rent a Big Green by the day — a buy-or-rent combo none of the other retailers here offer.
