Great value! This vacuum works as well (or better)than the large, heavy uprights. The suction is excellent & it is easy to use. It is so light!!! Canister removes easily for empting. I like that you can turn off the brush when you use the hose. This one does not have all of the bells and whistles of a more expensive vacuum, but if you are just looking for one that cleans well and is "user friendly" - this is the one!
Works Great After reading some of the reviews I bought this product along with the rug stick and wasn't quite sure what to expect. My son used the rug stick to clean up his dogs mess and needless to say it worked great there is not a trace left not even the odor. I would highly recommend this product.
great vacuum for the price after reading many reviews from many different sources we decided to purchase this vacuum. we ended up getting it from costco as it was quite a bit cheaper than on amazon at the time. i have to say that we've been thrilled with this vacuum so far. it does a wonderful job on our carpet leaving no trace of dog hair behind. the dirt sensor is a fun addition although i'm not completely sure what it's thinking sometimes. the self-propel feature is great and works effortlessly with normal vauuming gestures gliding the vacuum along the floor with ease.
we were looking at some dyson vacuums as well but after going to the store and test driving both models the dyson vacuums, although great to look at, seemed heavy and awkward to use most of the time. the hoovers seemed to have a good vacuum feel to them.
the set of attachments is also nice and are very easy to use.
To Suck or Not to Suck... DO NOT BUY THIS VACUUM CLEANER!!!!! It worked great after one use. I am now looking for a new vacuum cleaner. It throws dirt around rather than sucks it up. I wouldn't even donate this one to charity, that is how bad it really is.
DON'T BUY-NO PARTS OR SERVICE!!! I purchased this for my daughter, and boy is it a cute idea!!! And it even worked okay, that is for just over 1 yr. Yep, just past the limited warranty. So I called Bissell and they informed me that there are no longer parts available for this model and my only option was to BUY a new one.
Well, I told them I am not likely to do that, since it only lasted a year!!! We didn't even get to use the handle extentions that come with it. What a nice addition to the landfills!!!
