Not worth the money!July 29, 2010 jmanderson We purchased this vacuum cleaner to replace another bagless vacuum cleaner and relied on the brand name, but it was a huge disappointment! You have to empty the canister frequently during small cleaning jobs, and it requires you to dig up into the top of the canister to release all the lint, hair and other items you normally catch during vacuuming. There was about 4" of trapped "sediment" in the top of the canister that required nearly taking the entire thing apart to clear. This scattered all kinds of heavy dust from the canister all over the place. Not only is this vacuum extremely heavy and cumbersome, but it's not very useful. I wish I could find a replacement for my Phantom Lightning, which has a very good small electric brush to do stairs. This vacuum cleaner only now comes out when we have no other choice! I wouldn't recommend it at all and am so disappointed that Bissell made such a piece of crap!
Bissell eraserJuly 26, 2010 Denise Nelson Great vacuum. Picks up pet hair and all that ground in dirt. I was shocked at how dirty my carpet really was. Easy to empty and keep clean. Great product for pet owners or just for those wanting to keep carpets soft and clean.
review 5 months laterJuly 24, 2010 M. A. Mcduffie(Okc) this vacuum is really poor, at first i oved it, worked wonderfully, i couldn't believe all the dirt it picked up. now i have to vacuum for 30 mins and hair is still every where. i called customer service what a joke, they wanted me to drive hours to a service repair shop, i told them it had suction but wasn't what it should be. they were very unhelpful. come to find out i wasted my money no more Bissell products for me. i just want to let you know if you buy it keep your recpit. it works well for about 5 months then you are out of luck
Awsome machineJuly 24, 2010 Russell L. Page, Jr.(ALABAMA) This is an awesome machine--it does every thing it says it will do. If it last only 18 months it will be worth it. ($6.50 a month)
Buy this vacuum for someone you hate. ZERO stars.July 18, 2010 samd 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the worst vacuum I have ever used and the engineers at Bissell responsible for it should be fired. It weighs a TON. The dust/hair tank is TINY. All 2,000 lbs of it falls over when I try to use the hose and destroys furniture. I had to rip the "eraser" that flips on the ground in front of it, off because it was useless and in the way. You can only vacuum one room at a time before emptying the tank since it's so small. The cord comes out of it practically at the bottom of it so you'll hurt your back constantly bending over for it. I just finished vacuuming and my BACK IS SORE. I want my money back! I want the last 20 minutes of my life back! I want my back back.
