I purchased this for my daughter, and boy is it a cute idea!!! And it even worked okay, that is for just over 1 yr. Yep, just past the limited warranty. So I called Bissell and they informed me that there are no longer parts available for this model and my only option was to BUY a new one.

Well, I told them I am not likely to do that, since it only lasted a year!!! We didn't even get to use the handle extentions that come with it. What a nice addition to the landfills!!!

I bought this for my daughters 4th birthday and I am so glad that I did. You must charge it for a full 24 hours the first time you charge it. You can adjust the length of the handle for your kid and then for yourself (I love to use it too). There are no cords to worry about and it picks up really well. Watch the dirt holder because it fills up quickly and it is small.

I purchased this vacuum as a gift for my 4 year old daughter for Christmas last year. It works great, especially on hard surfaces (hardwood and laminate flooring) and is easy to operate. My daughter enjoys using it and helping around the house. The one drawback to this vacuum is that where the handle connects to the vacuum, it is held together with a relatively weak design. My daughter liked to put her foot on the vacuum and pull on the handle quite hard to shut it off. She also stood on the vacuum and wiggled the handle toward the front of the machine. The stress of that movement (by a 4 year old) broke where the handle connects right off the vacuum. We glued it back together several times, but even with careful use (my daughter learned to be more gentle with the vacuum) it kept breaking. I called Bissell to see if there was a replacement part and there was not. Since we called within the first year of ownership they sent us a new vacuum - we were pleased with their stand behind their products. Now we stress to everyone that we need to be careful with the handle and where it connects to the vacuum. It seems as though something designed for the use by children (who, by nature, tend to be a little rough on their stuff), should be designed to be a bit more durable, especially at the part that technically is the on-off switch.

It is also important that if the battery dies out completely, make sure the vacuum is all the way off before plugging it in to recharge it. The cord and vacuum get hot and could pose a hazard. Really, folks, we are responsible people and don't break everything. We love the vacuum and recommend it for any family who has a daughter who loves cleaning. This is a great product.
