I have had this vacuum over a year now, and I hate it.

One of the first things I noticed was that the motor wasn't powerful enough to keep the roller spinning over carpet. The roller stops if the carpet level changes any. Within the first month the roller broke and I paid $17 to replaced it. It still gets caught on carpet. Not only that but it doesn't fully sweep in a track. By that I mean you can see the lines where it misses. You have to go over, and over, and over to get everything up.

It's also very heavy. The tubes are way too short and the hose pops off all the time. The filters get clogged awfully fast and I have to wash them every 5 vacuumings. The suction spits kitty litter out the back. It's loud and noisy. The cord is too short.

The whirlwind action in the receptacle cup doesn't work and dirt flies up into the filter clogging it. Just the other day the carpet height level mechanism completely broke off!!

I just simply despise this vacuum.

This machine has amazing suction! I was shocked by how much dirt was left in my carpet from my previous vacuum. I am thrilled with not having to change any messy bags anymore, all I need to do is empty the dirt cup. I really like the clean filter indicator light becuase I never can remember to clean them. It is so helpful having that helpful reminder. The 30' power cord is a huge bonus as well becuase I can get so much more cleaning done without having to constantly change outlets. It is easy to carry up and down stairs as well because of the carrying handle. This vacuum has it all and is so reasonably priced!

I've had this vacuum for one year and had to replace the roller brush 4 times! The 1st 3 I got free from the company and the last I had to buy for $25. They claim the roller is not covered under the warranty. The roller will seize up and melt after about 3 months, the last one I got has lasted me one month. I will NEVER buy another Bissell product again. There customer service stunk and when I took it to an authorized dealer he told me thats what happens when it picks up hair.... uh, duh it's a vacuum, what is it supposed to be picking up... fairy dust? Don't waste your time or money on this hunk of junk! I just went out and bought a Hoover, I hope I have better luck.

This vac is great if you want one that will work wonderfully for about a month. The filters clog weekly, we bought an extra set and need to rinse them often. We have cats... when you try to suck up cat litter or any thing like sand or dirt, this vac spits some of the granules out the back. It's also crummy on uneven surfaces. Our house has 1853 wide plank floors that are not perfectly flat and this vac misses everything in the depressions. The hose is very short, not long enough to do a normal flight of stairs without having to lug this heavy thing halfway up them. The tools are rather cheap, the brush scratches everything. This vac has so much LESS suction than the 25 year old Kenmore canister we bought the Bissell to replace it's really surprising. BUT, what did I expect when I bought a $89. vac? I'm saving up for another Kenmore.

I bought the Bissell 35932 vacuum for $79.99 at Amazon.com. This is a great vacuum for that price. The suction power is amazing. Works great on bare floor as well as carpet. It got a LOT of dirt from my clean looking carpet. The equipment comes with a free replacement HEPA filter too - in case your first one wears out too soon.

The only complain I have for the vacuum is that the dust container is not easy to clean. Its plastic, and so you can not clean it too easily - if you clean it with a wet sponge, you have to wait for it to dry before you use the equipment again, since paper towels do not usually do a good job on such plastics.

Assembling was very very easy. All I needed was a screw driver to connect the easy-to-fit handle with the base unit.

I highly recommend this to any one looking for a vacuum cleaner.

This vacuum seemed to be a great deal when I bought it, First thing went was the belt, you can smell it burning. I figured thats OK since it a wear out item. Next the side of the roller started to burn, and smelled up the whole house. I figures I would buy a roller but when I opened the bottom, the roller assembly was also burned, so you could not put another roller in it. I just put it the trash. Didn't bother calling Bissel.

I would not buy this vacuum if I had to do it again. I had the same problem that other customers reported with the roller getting stuck. Even after checking to make sure there is no hair caught up in it, it still doesn't budge. I went over a carpet patch where there was a small but visible ball of dog hair lying loose on top of the carpet and even after going back and forth over it MANY times not a single bit of it was picked up by this vacuum. Plus, each time I use it I spend(waste) an absurd amount of time cleaning every filter, the roller and even unscrewing the base to clean it out = hoping it will result in greater suction but the performance has still been declining since the first use. These are the reasons this vacuum is cheap, but if it only lasts for six months before losing all suction I think you'd get more for your money by saving up for a more expensive vacuum that lasts.

I thought my carpet was clean before I used this but I was wrong! What amazing results! It was so easy to use and the suction power was fantastic! I love the extension wand because I was able to clean hard to reach places with ease! I really like the soft bumper too becuase I do not have to worry about hurting my furniture! I use this to clean my hard wood, carpet and rugs and it easily cleans all surfaces. I have told my mom and friends what a great product this is and would recommend it to anyone! Its also lightweight so it is easyier to carry around and up stairs then other vacuums!

I concurr with the other reviews. The vaccum lasted less the 8 months. The roller doesn't work and when using the hose (only thing that works) it emitts a burning smell.

Received vacuum on the 17th and promptly tried it out. Truly awesome--a must have in the world of vacuuming if you live with a dog (Collie). Vacuums up dog hair like no other vacuum we have owned.
