We have two cats and one dog and the dog sheds constantly. We really needed to find a vacuum that could take care of all the pet hair floating around the house. We settled on the Bissell after reading reviews here and on the internet. On the positive side, this thing cleans up hair and dirt great. The attachments work great to take hair off of furniture and the vacuum has plenty of suction to pick everything up. That brings us to the cons though. It has great suction IF you keep all the filters clean and empty the dirt bin constantly. Our house is probably an extreme case since our dog sheds sooo much but you have to empty the dirt container at least once per room. When you empty the dirt bin dust goes everywhere. You have to wipe the vacuum off or suction it off after emptying to get all the dirt off the outside of the vacuum. The reusable foam filter needs to be cleaned constantly, at least once a week. Hair piles up in there and if you dont check it all the time it clogs up inside and you have to dig the hair out. There is also a lot of dust and dirt that goes flying when you clean it out. We have owned the vacuum for about 4 months now and have had to replace the HEPA filter twice so far. The suction of the vacuum really falls off once the HEPA and foam filters get dirty. Another complaint is that pet hair gets easily jammed up in the spinning brush attachment and I've had to take it apart a few times to pull all the hair out so it will work again. If you don't put everything back in right it wont work correctly and the process isn't that simple. For the less mechanically inclined they might not be able to do this procedure. The design needs to be revised in order to correct this annoying problem. The only other complaint is that the curved tube attached to the hose where you connect the attachments can be pain due to the curve when you are trying to clean at certain angles. For shorter users this may not be a problem but I'm 6'4" and I have to bend over constantly to use it on the couch. Overall this is a very good vacuum that with some minor design changes could be great. When you factor in the price it certainly is a good bang for the buck verses the much more expensive units in this category.
What's great about it: Picks up all the dirt, removes pet hair great
What's not so great: Very dirty when emptying dirt container, constantly cleaning filters
I would recommend this to a friend!
