likeable sweeper

What's great about it: great suction, easy to use attachments
What's not so great: floor brush is sporadic
"From the moment I bought this I loved it! Having 2 dogs, and a cat I needed something that was going to work great on pet hair. The attachments have been a blessing, and the spin brush attachment is the best working I've EVER seen. My only problem is approximately 6 months after buying, the floor brush stopped working properly. I'd have to hit the canister to get it to come on, or it would just stop and go when it wanted. Now a year later & it doesn't work at all. I'm very disappointed and after reading another review that someone else was having same problems, I probably won't buy another. Bissell really should look into this, because aside from that it has been a nice sweeper to own."

What's great about it: great suction
What's not so great: difficult to turn
"We decided to get a new vacuum after we got a dog. We chose this one and love it. It works great on pet hair. I love the long hose for vacuuming the stairs. My only complaint is it doesn't make turns well."

Great Suction, Poor Quality
08/30/2008
By DogLvr
from Dallas, TX

What's great about it: Suction, Features
What's not so great: Heavy, Very Poor Quality
"This vacuum has great suction and really picks up the dirt, pet hair, fibers, etc. I've had mine for a little over a year and it has cleaned great. It is very heavy and hard to maneuver which is definitely a drawback. About a month ago the floor power brush began working sporadically and would go off and on while vacuuming carpets. Last week it quit working completely. The vacuum still sucks, but no power to the carpet brush. After calling Bissell and trying to fix it myself, I decided that was hopeless. I called a local repair shop and they said it would be a minimum of $100.00 and could be as much as $300.00 to fix. This is the second Bissell product I have had that I have experienced problems with. The other was a Pro Heat Carpet Cleaner. I think it's time to go back to Eureka or some other brand."

Should come with First Aid Kit

What's great about it: Great Suction, Bagless
What's not so great: VERY EASY TIP, No wide hard floor attachment, Canister VERY difficult to completely empty
"I positivly LOVE the way this vac works. The suction is incredible and for cleaning, it really does trap the particles. HOWEVER...It Tips VERY easily and hits at the back of the heels and legs when it falls over. This is due to poor stretch of extension hose. you can't pull AT ALL! The vac also turns off too easily and often you'll turn it off while vacuming. The included attachments are minimal...sure wish it had the wide hardfloor brush. Overall the vac has been a great, but I curse it daily for falling over and tipping at the slightest tug...not easy to clean anything other than carpet safely."

Best Vacuum Ever Purchased

What's great about it: Deep Cleans
What's not so great: Heavy
"Awesome vacuum. Really picks up a lot of dirt, shows you that the old vacuum was inferior. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is very heavy, otherwise I think it is the best vacuum I have ever purchased."

Great Vacuum!
07/06/2008
By Suebee97

What's great about it: Powerful, Multifunctional
"We bought this vacuum after our other Bissell went out on us. We purchased it based on peoples reviews. Definately better than our other Bissell. Taking into consideration that it was a little heavy as people were saying, we love it! It is definately just as powerful as a Dyson and way cheaper in price. Well made. It also comes with a 5 year manufacturer warranty. It is no big deal if you live by an authorized Bissell repair shop like us, but if you don't then its always good to get an extended warranty as a vacuum gets used alot. Highly recommend!"

sucks up dirt, hair, and dust
05/10/2008
By Brewman2
from Federal Way, WA

What's great about it: strong suction, easy beater bar control
What's not so great: bagless, heavy, cord wrap
"After spending much more on the last vacuum (Sharps model) I was hoping to find a quality vacuum, without spending KIRBY $$$$.. Got this home and had it put together in 10 minutes.. I had just vacuumed the carpets with the pathetic and loud SHARPS before I used the new BISSELL.. I could not believe how much more dirt, dog hair, and dust it picked up. I had to dump it twice..(bagless is pretty gross).. hose for the stairs is a bit short and it could use more attachments.. It would be nice if the cord was retractable.."

Very Good Purchase
05/02/2008
By ChicagoBaby
from Chicago, IL

What's great about it: Cleans really well. Picks up pet hair nicely. Easy to empty and clean.
What's not so great: On the heavy side. Suction cord for tools is a bit too short.
"Money well spent!
After spending money on cheaper models that did not work well, I decided to purchase this and am very happy that I did. There is good suction as this is a pretty powerful vacuum. The cons are that it is on the heavier side and the suction cord for the tools is a bit too short and awkward to use, thus why I didn't give it a 5 star rating.
Overall a good vacuum."

What's great about it: great suction, bagless, accessories, attachments, powerful
What's not so great: heavy
"I really love this vacuum! I've gone through a couple of vacuums advertised on TV that just didn't do the job. After using another vacuum, I got this one and it picked up virtually everything the other one wouldn't. I was amazed by how much I saw in the canister.
I also really like the attachments so that I can get all the pet hair off of my couch and chair. Best vacuum I've owned."

Really Good Vac
04/27/2008
By bigd

What's great about it: Quiet, cleans well
What's not so great: The chamber that holds the dirt fills pretty quick and not the easiest to empty
"For the money, this is really a very good Vac cleaner. I like having the power button on the top handle. The power cord is long, but wished it had the ability to recoil into the unit. Great suction. Only real problem area we had was dumping the dirt out. The trap release door gets stuck."

Well designed vacuum
04/23/2008
By CalTex
from San Jose, CA

What's great about it: Long cord, well placed attachments, 5-year warranty
What's not so great: A bit on the heavy side
"First of all, "bagless technology" does not necessarily mean no-fuss emptying of contents. It means you don't have to suddenly notice you have no suction in the middle of your household chores and have to run to the store to buy new bags that may or may not be in stock for your particular model. The work around is to put the canister inside of a plastic garbage bag while emptying the contents (but then is it truly "bagless"?).
The features that prompted me to buy this vacuum:
1. Great customer reviews
2. Hepa filtration
3. Long 35' power cord
4. 15” wide brush bar.
5. Edge cleaning brushes on both sides of brush bar.
6. Power cord attaches high to avoid entanglement during use.
7. Well-placed attachments--particularly the telescoping wand and crevice tool.
8. Large rear wheels make pushing easier over thick carpet.
9. Headlight
10. 5-year factory warranty on parts and labor.
11. Doesn’t look garish.
The features I found I liked after taking it out of the box:
1. Power cord is very flexible unlike our previous vacuum.
2. Long hose.
3. Great suction.
4. No disassembly/reassembly to convert from brush bar to hose--simply pull the hose from the conveniently located port and insert the attachment.
5. Separate power switch for brush bar located conveniently next to master power switch on handle.
6. I like clever gadgets and the Turbo Brush upholstery attachment is very clever and easily accessible.
7. Brush bar automatically turns off when handle is in full upright position unlike our previous vacuum which, if left unattended in that position for too long, would wear a bare spot in the carpet!
8. Tipping is generally an issue with uprights when using the hose, but as the manual states, leaving the hose attached to the bottom clip mitigates that problem.
9. Comfortable handle grip.
10. Low profile cleaning head gets about 6” under openings of just over 3” in height.
Features that would have been nice in a vacuum in this price range, but would have probably meant sacrificing some other more important feature:
1. Retractable cord.
2. Dirt sensor.
3. Height adjustment located more conveniently than on cleaning head.
4. Lighter weight
In summary, the engineers really spent some time laying out the design of this product and have produced a very easy to use product."

A Blue Dust Monster
04/23/2008
By snickster

What's great about it: Great suction; Love the Turbo Brush
What's not so great: Heavy
"I'm not a clean freak, but being that we have two dogs, two cats, three girls and a messy hubby in our household I vacuum our carpets 1-2 times weekly. I knew our old vacuum was losing its zip and after doing a ton of online research opted for the Bissell Healthy Home vacuum.
It was (literally) a snap to set up. Quick and easy right out of the box.
I didn't even get through our entire house before I needed to change the canister full of dust, hair and quite a few unidentified objects! Ick!! I was appalled that all that was lodged in our supposedly clean carpet. The Turbo Brush works great on our sofas and chairs. I also love the long cord and the long extension hose.
The only down side is that this vacuum is heavy and it doesn't "glide" as easily across the carpet as my previous vacuum. If you have a sore arm/shoulder, I could see where this vacuum would be difficult to maneuver. I give it a four star only because of it being heavy and a bit hard to carry up/down the stairs.
But that's a small price to pay for a cleaner carpet and a healthier home."

What's great about it: Excellent power, easy empty, wide cleaning path.
What's not so great: No cons
"This vacuum is the best I have ever used. The vortex design allows for no loss of suction. I have two pets, one of which sheds a lot. This vacuum has no trouble cleaning up the shedded hair, and the handy attachments make for ease of cleaning upholstery and corners."

Xcellent Vacuum

What's great about it: Picks up everything!!
What's not so great: No issues here.
"With 3 cats and 1 dog - it is the best vacuum for my wife and I. Immediately, I could not only tell the air quality was better, but all of the dander that sits in the carpeting was even pulled up. We were looking at spending $500 - $600 for the "other" type, but once we saw this was extremely affordable at half the cost - I couldnt pass it up. My cousin bragged about his "other" type for the past 4 months - its now broken. I've had mine for 5 months and its just great!!! I highly recommend this vs. the "other" type."

Money Well Spent...

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Weight
"Did alot of research on this version of vac versus the Dyson. Read many reviews here and at other stores to try to justify spending the money $400+ on Dyson or $250 on Bissell. After seeing both in action did not see any difference other then the price. I went with Bissell. After getting home with new vac I put it together (1 screw) took longer to open box.. But after starting to vac with It I was absolutly amazed with how much stuff it picked up. I had to empty the can 4 times just on the upstaris rooms alone, could not beleave it. Made me wonder what my other vac was doing (nothing).. My old vac was a Dirt Devil and there is no comparison, it is now in the trash waiting to be picked up.."

Better than I expected

What's great about it: Picks up everything even dust out of the carpet
What's not so great: Made me feel like my house was NEVER clean........
"I got this vaccum after my eureka finally went kaput and did a lot of research on this page, then decided to go with this vaccum. I went to my local best buy store that I frequent to much and tried the Bissill and compared it to the Dison, It worked just as good at half the price. Once I got home I had to try it out and there is no comparison to the eureka at all. This vaccum is 10 times better than my old one and it picked up so much stuff out of my rug I could not believe it. It got the smallest pices of "dust" I guess, and it made me feel like my house has never been vaccumed. I have had it for about a month now and have had no problem at all. I hope it stays that way but for now it makes me want to clean everything. It works great on the hardwoods too, just turn the brushes off and lower it to the ground then get going. Dog hair is a joke, it sucks it up along with popcorn and leaves also. So far this thing has changed the way I look at what a vaccum is supposed to do. I had no idea you could pick up such small particles out of a carpet or rug like this......this is a great buy and a great vaccum....."
