This is a wonderful vacuum. I never realized how dirty my carpet was until I bought this. Works like a dream at a great price! Best vacuum I have bought.

Fantastic Vacuum!

| I was amazed at how well this vacuum cleaned! I thought my carpets were clean but this vacuum got out so much dirt that I didn't even know was there! The turbobrush is a great feature for my stairs too becuase I have a dog and children who leave messes everywhere! The attachments are also great! I especailly like the filters becuase seeing the dirt shows me how clean my carpets are getting when I use it! |
best vacuum I've yet used

| I love this vacuum cleaner; I think I love it even more than my other birthday present, which was an Olympus digital camera that I've wanted for years. (I guess I must be a grownup.) This is coming from someone who got stuck selling Kirby vacuum cleaners as her first job out of college, *mumble* years ago. This is every bit as good as the Kirby, lighter, and easier to change parts on. I cleaned a crowded, carpeted room that hadn't been vacuumed in four months without having to move any furniture, and was easily able to get under and over and around things with the aid of the hose attachments. Even the cobwebs are gone, and the high-traffic bits of carpet got fluffed up. I'm very impressed. |
It sucks!

It sucks -- in a good way! Lame pun, yes, I know, but I'm not here to please you.
Pros:
- easy to move around
- lightweight
- bagless
- good power for the money
Cons:
- loud wheels
- can tip over if using the handheld tube
- height control doesn't seem to do much
I'd totally recommend this one for a small household... The rotating brush on the vacuum is great to pick up all the stuff you can't see on the carpet. When I first moved into my apartment, the place looked immaculate because of a new carpet... But not until I used this vacuum did I see all the "fuzz" that the carpet was shedding and turning into dust. Never regretted the purchase since I read that this was the best budget vacuum cleaner in some consumer report. |
The fact I'm writing a vacuum review should tell you something!

I love my vacuum. i've had it for about 2 years and it has done a great job cleaning up after 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs and an artist. it has 4 filters total. the dirt cup has to be emptied almost every time you use it since it grabs so much stuff. it's incredibly easy to do and can be opened in less than 2 seconds. the other major filter container is really easy to open too and also takes less than 2 seconds. i have severe allergies and it more than meets my needs.
thinking you'll never have to "service" your vacuum is unrealistic, because no matter what the capacity, you will try to suck up stuff more formidable than your vacuum can handle. the great news is that if you do need to remove a clog, bissel has made it super easy. you don't even need a screwdriver to get to the agitator (spinning thing)--it's held in place by clips! it hasn't needed a new belt yet, which is unusual for a vacuum this age. the on-board tools are simple, light, yet effective.
this thing is just an animal. i can't recommend it more. a really great value. |
Excellent with pet hair!

We thought we needed a new carpet, as ours was matted down and looked terrible. Our vacuum was an expensive one but 10 years old so when I saw the Bissell CleanView, I liked the idea of no bags and a see through catcher because I always would forget to change the bag... not seen, out of mind, sort of thing.
Well, for the first time in years when you walk across our carpet it leaves your footprints... that's how much this cleaner pulled our fibers back up. It looks like it did 8 years ago when we bought it. I never realized how much our cat's hair had weighed down our carpet fibers. Just our livingroom alone and the dust bin had to be changed. I did our whole house and had to empty the container 4 times! Obviously, my other vacuum just wasn't doing the job! I ended up with a whole shopping bag full of lovely cat fur!
I like the way it cleans the pet hair and makes my carpet look like new.
It seems to run on the hot side. If you have it running for 15 minutes or so the side with the filter gets very hot. Not sure that is a bad thing but thought I'd mention cons as well as pros.
I'm not mechanically inclined at all and I was able to put it together from the box all by myself. One screw was the only assembly needed which is a definite plus.
I don't think it is heavy, at least it is lighter than my expensive vacuum cleaner. I think if it were any lighter it wouldn't do the job as well. If you make the motor smaller and lighter, than you are compromising the power to pick up.
All in all I am very satisfied with it. As to how long it will last... I'll have to post on this when and if it dies or I have problems.

I enjoy it

| I bought this vacuum about a year ago and I have to say that I'm still pleased by it. Granted I live in a 2 bedroom apartment so I don't have too much space to vacuum, but it works well. There is the (in my opinion) slight maintenace of washing out the filters and dust collecting cups. Also, like other reviews have pointed out, it is a little on the loud side. The power attachment is a little annoying to use due to the fact that it is a little difficult to get out of the holder and it does not work well on my furniture. Overall though, it does it's job and does it well. I think it was a great buy at a good price. |
Happy and Clean

| This vacuum is a great deal for the price. As long as you replace parts as needed (mine didn't need any parts for the first year and a half and then a new belt cost about $2) it works great. |
what a buy, and a fabulous vacuum as well!

| This vacuum was for my mom who, when her old canister vacuum broke down, thought you had to go to a vacuum store such as Kirby, etc to get something decent. When I found out she ended up paying over $300.00 for one such vacuume, (and she is a senior on a limited budget!), I told her to take it back, and I will help her find a good one for only a fraction of the cost. I did a lot of research on vacuum ratings, and found out this one has a high rating. When you weight the great price, ratings and the fact you get FREE shipping, it was a no-brainer! Well, mom loves it, says the suction is excellent, and is easy for her to assemble and use. She could not believe you get get such a good vacuum for such a low price, and has now entrusted me to order additional items as she needs them via the net. Mom gives this vac an A+ |

| After doing some research, this vacuum was voted the best deal for the price. For the price I paid, around $80.00, I am extremely happy with this vaccum. My mother owns a $200.00 Windtunnel and I believe I got the better deal. This vacuum cleaner is quieter and easier to clean than the Windtunnel. I have a carpeted apartment that I vacuum once a week. The filters need cleaning about once a month but this is easily done by rincing them in dishwashing soap and water. (You'll be able to tell because the vacuum will loose suction.) I love this vacuum and think was an excellent purchase. |

| This vacuum is wonderful. I can't believe the difference in our carpeting after one vacuuming. I thought the Hoover upright was doing a good job, but was I wrong! My wife was only going to do our livingroom when it came, but decided the whole house needed it after she saw the difference it made. No witches riding brooms in this house. Ordered 1/29/06 received 2/1/06 on the free shipping option... EXCELLENT! I highly recommend it. |

| I have to say, I dont understand the complaints I'm seeing regarding this one. If you read the owners manual, it clearly states the maintainence involved. Now..the ones the broke on day 3? Bad Batch? Mine is almost a year old. I clean it regularly, changed the belt once, works PERFECTLY. |

| Reviewer: Dennis G. Darveau, Dayton, MN USA |
| This is the second one of these that I have owned. All the filters are easily cleaned with water so the suction remains like new over the life of the unit. The Hepa filter is great, too. This vacuum picks up pet hair very well. I would highly recomend this unit for the performance, but the price was great as well. |
Bissell RULES!

I just received my vaccum and not only did I get a great deal from AMAZON, I also got a great product!! It's alot more than I expected!! The attachment with the head for stairs, and fabric type furniture, is WONDERFUL!! I was able to carry the unit upstairs as I vaccumed, could not do that with my old heavy vaccum. As far as the complains about the bagless unit getting clogged, just clean it out..just like you do anything!! It's easy to detach and clean..I can't say enough about this unit. ALSO, the HEPA, WOW, no flying dust, how great is that?? HEPA on sale at AMAZON too...get them while there hot, I Say....

| My dog was shedding so bad I couldn't keep up with the dog hair. This vacuum helped tremendously. With the additional tools I was able to keep the furniture and stairs clean. This is by far one of the best vacuums I have ever owned. |
Great Vacuum with a reasonable price!

I love this vacuum because it picks up after my pets hair. I use the turbo brush on our suede plush couches. I love that this vacuum has quite a few filters. Since the vacuum picks up everything I make sure to empty the canister every trash night. If you make it a schedule, it's much easier. I like all the filters because I really see everything it picks up. All are washable in soapy warm water. Except the Hepa Filter, it's $10 and if you shake the filter out once every few months, you can maintain it a bit longer.
I love how everyone complains you have to empty it too much - this thing picks up a lot of dirt! What do you expect? |
