I have had this vacuum several months and wish I had noticed all it's problems earlier on. My husband usually vacuums but after a few attempts he gave up with this vacuum. He kept telling me how bad it was and I didn't believe until I started using it myself. Unfortunately, time has passed so now it is too late to return it. This is just a terribly designed product. My partial list: the area for the cord storage is too short so you reel and reel the cord on, the hose falls off while vacuuming and drags on the floor, it's too heavy, when you clean the dirt cup the dirt falls all over the vacuum/floor and you (I end up cleaning the vacuum every time), while vacuuming dirt spits out the bottom back of the machine, dirt spews out the side hepa filter, you need to clean out the bottom filter which again spits out more dirt, the attachments don't work IF you can pry them off the vacuum (another problem), the attachment hose must be in a certain position when not in use and it falls off causing yet more dirt to fly out of the vacuum and there is a strip on the front of the vacuum (velcro strip) of no value whatsoever, but when it is disengaged it prevents you from adjusting the carpet setting on the machine! This past weekend whiie I vacuumed the carpets with this machine my husband followed behind me with his shop vac to pick up the fluff and stuff that came out of the vacuum or was left behind. I have been in touch with Bissell and they will replace this vacuum with another one - same model so what's the point unless they have made many improvements, This vacuum is a worthless mess - don't waste your money. I am in the market for a new vacuum after just 4 months of having this one. This vacuum spits out so much dirt that I must always dust after using it. Lot's of fun! This isn't just the worst vacuum I've ever owned it ranks as the worst product I've ever purchased!
What's great about it: Not One Thing !!!!
What's not so great: Heavy - Spits Out Dirts - Attahcments Don't WorK - ETC
