I bought this vacuum on sale for about $80 bucks. Very easy to put together and use. Leaves my carpet's clean and picks up cat hair very easily. The only downside is that after one room you usually have to empty the dirt container because it fills up very quickly (however that could because I have a pet).

What's great about it: It has a light
I was disappointed in the performance of this vac the first time I used it. After a short time (less than 5 minutes), the unit was not picking up as it did when first started.
Checking the belt, it was broke. Went to Best buy for a replacement and they were out of stock. Purchased a belt from a third party and its working fine now.
So if you choose this unit --- order additional belts.

What's not so great: nothing
i have bought several vacume cleaners over the years but this one is the best ever, my daughter likes using carpet fresh and i hate it but with this vacume it even cleaned down deep and sucked up all the dirt and carpet fresh that my other vacume didn't get, and my home smelled fresh afterwards, everyone should have one of these vacumes.

The vacuum works great and is very easy to use. I like the ease of dumping the canister versus buying a vacuum with bags. You can never find the bags you need, so this makes it easy.

What's great about it: Easy to remove dirt cup and clean filter.
What's not so great: Cord could be a little longer
This unit does a great job, especially for the price. I wanted one with a bag but of the 15 I looked at only one had a bag and it was the cheapst unit. I chose the Bissell because of the price (less than $100) and the ease of removing the "bucket" for cleaning. The onboard "turbo brush" is also great for cleaning the dog hair off our carpeted steps. You can spend a lot more money on other brands but I doubt you will find one that is worth the extra money.

I bought this vacuum for my daughter and she loves it. She has two children, a cat, and two dogs. She has carpet and tile. She says that it works wonderful on the carpet and tile and that it picks up pet hair with ease. She is always bragging on it so I rate it 5 stars.

What's great about it: I'm getting rid of it
What's not so great: does not even vacuum cherios or pillow feathers, terrible suction not to edges
Worst vacuum ever. If you want to try it cheaply, I am donating mine to the closest Salvation Army. This vacuum is LOUD and ineffective. The hose kinked almost immediately and won't retake its shape. The single vacuum arm is low and clumsy, there is no suction on short carpet unless you use the bare floor setting then it will not let you push it forward. I smashed my finger and got scraped up trying to use this vacuum. What a waste of $79, and the reason I bought it was because of the super duper filter which is a joke, you can totally smell the dust after only 3 uses.
This product is or has... disgusting waste of money
About me... disabled kid no time to fight this worthless vacu

Forget Dyson over priced fluff. Why buy it for a twisty waste of time when this Bissell Cleanview Helix HEPA Bagless Upright Vacuum will blow or should or can I say "SUCK" the HEPA out of your carpet better then any Dyson vacuum I have used. Dyson loses suction power compared to this Bissell Helix vacuum cleaner and once you use it you will see exactly how well it cleans your carpets by how fine the dust is in the catch container. More over how hard you must clean each section that contains the dirt,grass or other contaminants contained inside. Want to clean the kitchen floor or hard wood floors without pushing the dirt around and into the air? Well this vacuum will do just that, with a bare floor setting you will see Hair, grass, threads easily sucked into the container instead of floating in the air you breath. Probably the best vac I have used in the last 7 years. I got mine on sale for $79 here at Best Buy and was worth every penny hands down. You will not regret this purchase

When my son at college needed a vacuum, I decided to give him our current Hoover and find a new one for us. Best Buy had this Bissell model on sale, so I scooped it up. It's much quieter than our old one, yet it picks up at least twice as much. This is our first bagless vacuum, and we have no complaints.

What's great about it: useful tools
What's not so great: weak sucking power
I am a European and am used to small, light-weight, easy to maneuvre but very powerful vacuum cleaners. We bought BISSELL Cleanview Helix 3.5 months ago (as could not afford a Samsung/LG of the same class). Use it 1 / week. I do not understand people who are excited about vacuum cleaner that "keeps your floors spotless". ANY cleaner will do that, provided there s no carpet! I got thick carpets everywhere (750 ft) and this one DOES NOT perform as expected. Does not suck crumbles from the first time, though switched to max power. It is quite heavy as well. The cord is a pain! I have to hold it folded in my hand while vacuuming otherwise it's getting in my way all the time (guess it's a usual thing). This Bissell does have useful tools as several additional tiny cleaners, but it takes time to switch from one to another and I'm not used to doing that either. To sum up, it is a fair machine for the price. But NOT an option for those who have pets and carpets.

What's great about it: Powerful picker-upper for the price.
Surprisingly good performance from a vacuum at this price. Why pay more. Easy to set up. Really picks up the dirt. It does require frequent emptying and cleaning of the filter. Not having a bag is nice. fairly light weight and powerful.

I was looking for a new vacuum after the two I had in the house stopped working. I wasn't trying to spend a lot but I still wanted a quality product. And I needed one to deal with pet hair, lots of pet hair. Having two labs, I sweeping every day so I needed a vacuum that could handle it.
I read the reviews on here and other websites and decided to try it out since it was $10 off. Though I got to the store and the price was a bit more, but the sales person adjusted it for me.
It was super easy to put together. It was so simple I thought I missed a screw or another part but all it took was just one (or two, I can't remember). I hooked it up and it was so nice to have a properly working vacuum again that got up allllllllll the dog hair. And the pet hair attachment works well too.
The weight of the vacuum seemed fine to me. I don't know why people were complaining about that on here. It's a vacuum... a machine.. it's going to weigh something. Though I guess for those who are not used to carrying stuff upstairs, they may be lacking in the upper arm strength department.
I would recommend this and especially since it was less than $90 when i purchased it.
