Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The Bissell Powerglide upright delivers a quiet-performance airflow design backed by 12 amps of power--all in a machine that weighs under 14 pounds. With dual-edge cleaning and a 13-1/2-inch path, the vacuum is an efficient cleaner with a comfortable grip and a helper handle that make it easy to push and lift. A front-mounted dial lets you choose from seven operating heights, for everything from bare floors to deep-pile carpets. With its accessories and hose, the unit's also great for upholstery, draperies, furniture, blinds, shelves, baseboards, and stairs. A three-position handle gets the vacuum under furniture, while the nozzle bumper protects tables and chair legs. The PowerGlide also improves the overall air quality of a home, with its combination of a two-ply bag and a reusable post-motor filter to cut down on particulates in the unit's exhaust. The front panel snaps off completely for bag removal. Other handy features include a 25-foot power cord with quick-release storage hooks, a wide-beam headlight, and a limited two-year warranty. Onboard attachments include a crevice tool, extension wand, and upholstery/dusting brush. --Emily Bedard

4.0 out of 5 stars
Probably one of the best in it's price range,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bissell 3545 PowerGlide Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
My first review. Hopefully it will help someone. Great vacuum for the price. Has all the requirements I wanted when purchasing for my 1 bedroom apartment. It has a 12 amp motor, it's quite, light, has filtration and is designed well. I researched vacuums and came up with the two best that I would have bought if price were not a consideration: the Hoover Self-Propelled with power attachment or the Eureka Ultra Smart Vac Boss Model 4870. I actually bought the Eureka over the Internet, but the vendor took too long in shipping it because of backorder. This gave me a chance to think over the purchase and I realized for my one bedroom apartment, I really didn't need a top of the line, costly vacuum. So I researched with price and AMP in mind. The most important thing in the Bissell Powerglide Plus is that the bottom piece is constructed much like Hoover's Windtunnel models. The whole concept behind the Windtunnel is the shape of the plastic piece surrounding the roller brush. Take a look at some of the bottoms of a few vacuums. You'll notice the end of a "hose" on some models just pointing towards the ground. That "hose" area allows only a small section of suction. Dirt is being lifted, but the suction area is small because there's nothing to send dirt its way. You simply have to go over that area of carpet again. The molded plastic shape (Windtunnel design) allows the roller brush to funnel dirt towards the "hose" end. It's designed much like a canister type vacuum where the "head" creates a funnel to allow a greater suction area. The filtration system is decent. No sealed True HEPA filtration here but adequate to prevent dust from going back into the room. You can feel the air that is being pushed back out from the suction. It comes out this post 3M filter attached on the side. It's quite. I really doubted this one, but it is quite compared to my older Hoover that was in the same class. No jet plane taking off. Even my cat didn't even run away like it usually does when I break out my old vacuum. The only issue is that it does not glide easily when pushed. If money is an issue, and you still want the best, this one is it. The Bissell gives probably the best bang for your buck. You'll be hard pressed to find another vacuum for the price with these features.

This vacuum does a really good job.,
By Christine Brown (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bissell 3545 PowerGlide Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
The marketing people did a nice job naming this vacuum, because the name fits. It really is powerful and it seems to just glide across the floor on both carpet and hard surfaces. I can't believe how good of a vacuum I got for such a reasonable price. I would have expected to pay a lot more for a vacuum that does this good of a job.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bissell 3545 PowerGlide Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
I've read the reviews before buying at Amazon.com; I have to say it is one of the best purchases I've made. All the good things you read in the other reviews are true. For the price, I find this one hard to beat. The performance is just amazing compared to our old Kenmore; the amount of dirt that we picked up in the first few weeks filled up the bag. This was a surprise in that we ran our old one on a regular basis. This product isn't perfect; the hose that loops around the top is made of very thin plastic; I don't think it will last very long - so keep some duct tape handy; the attachments and reach of the hose is very limited. All in all, I'm happy with the purchase.
