This is by far the best machine I have ever owned! I love the lift off canister becuase it makes it so convenient to carry aorund and do stairs, trimwork and other hard to reach areas. The turbobrush also makes it so easy to clean! The shoulder strap is an excellent feature becuase it makes the cleaning process so much easier! The suction power is amazing and I was shocked to see how mcuh dirt was suctioned into the dirt cup, which is also super easy to empty. I can't say enough good things about this machine becuase it is FANTASTIC!! By far the best vacuum I have ever owned! I want to buy one for my whole family!

This vacuum is great!! It is so easy to use and works excellent. The lift off is great and it is so easy to clean stairs with the turbo brush which I might add does a great job. The cord is super long so you don't need to stop and move your plug. Th filters are an easy change and the dirt cup comes off with ease. I have hardwood and carpeting and this works great on both. It's nice to be able to shut of the brush on bare floors instead of "beating" my wood floors. It's not even that loud compared to my last one(Dirt Devil)....I can even hear the phone ring!! I would definitely recommend this vacuum!!

I absolutely love how this vacuum converts to two vacuums in one machine! I live in a two story home and vacuuming the stairs has always been a pain! It is so much easier with this machine, all that I have to do now is detach the portable canister and carry it up the stairs as I clean! It is lightweight and the suction power is amazing. I was shocked at how much dirt was pulled from my carpet after using it for the first time! I had always thought my previous vacuum was doing a good job at cleaning! I also like how it is bagless. This is my first bagless vacuum and I wasn't sure how I would like it but it is so much easier! I don't have to worry about changing the bag or overfilling it. The only maintenance I have is to clean the filters, which is so quick and esy to do!

We were looking at the Dyson DC14 Animal because we have a black cat that sheds, a lot, so we needed something powerful. After reading several reviews and deciding that spending $550 was over our budget, we went with the Bissell. We are not disappointed in the least.

This vacuum is wonderful. The suction is unbelievable. I vacuumed the whole house and emptied the container bin (which holds a lot) three times. We were amazed at what our other (Dirt Devil) vacuum missed. The carpets have never looked this good, even raised the pile up, like it was new again. Adjusting the Bissell is easy and after a few times, you know the settings for each area, also works great on hardwood floors.

There are several attachments to get the job done, my favorite being the Turbo Brush (although the regular upholstery brush works fine.) Our white chairs were covered in black cat hair, but after running the Turbo Brush on them, they were clean as a whistle, no hair.

The best thing about this vacuum, and I know some people have complained that you have three filters to deal with, to clean, etc, is not feeling like all the dust was up my nose after vacuuming. The Dirt Devil left me coughing, sneezing and a mess. I dreaded even doing it. If you have allergies or are sensitive to dust, this vacuum is for you.

The downside, which is very minor, is that you do have to carry the lift-off canister with you or use the shoulder strap (which takes some getting use to), as the hose usually pulls the canister over if left unattended. I wish they had made it so the canister laid flat, maybe even had wheels or something, but again, not that big of a deal. The canister is light to carry.

I highly recommend this vacuum, easy to maneuver, and a great, low-cost alternative to a Dyson.

I bought this machine April 2005, paying what I considered a small fortune. I'm sorry I bought it -- it's a crappy machine -- I hate it -- it deserves 0 stars. I don't think I'll buy another Bissell. A major problem is the belt area of the powerbrush chronically accumulates debris resulting in a burning smell, which renders the machine useless, at which point I have to spend time taking it apart and diagnosing what's wrong. Not my idea of a competent machine. It has other chronic problems, the upshot being that I feel this vacuum was a total waste of money.

We have hardwood floors, very-low-pile "industrial" carpet, linoleum, and several longhair cats. We don't even have floors which make a vacuum work hard, except for cat fur.

I refuse to get a vacuum cleaner repaired because the cost of repair is often greater than giving the old one to charity and buying a new one.

At this point, I am not going to spend more than $100 on any vacuum cleaner, any brand, any style. It's just not worth the risk of paying $300 (or more) on a machine that should last ten years and doesn't make it two full years. Then at least if the vacuum cleaner breaks down shamefully early, I didn't make too much of an investment in it.

I'm pretty upset about this awful machine. It's not even worth 1 star!

After reviewing other comments online, we made sure to purchase the one that DOES come with all the attachments (stair thingie, shoulder strap, etc) that the regular model did not come with... and we are very happy with our purchase. It's picked up everything we've thrown at it, and I have used it so much - my husband is happy for the investment made, cuz the house is so much cleaner now! :)

I did a lot of research before purchasing this machine. It lives up to my expectations when cleaning my carpets, floors, upholstery, blinds, etc. The lift-off canister with shoulder sling is great, allowing me to put attachments onto the hose, including the rotating stair tool. My only knock is that the machine is heavy. My wife cannot vacuum our entire apartment without having a serious back ache. I thought she was joking until I also developed lower back strain with vacuuming the apartment.

I love it except it's a little heavier than I thought it would be.

I have owned this vacuum for about 2.5 years and that is about the useful life of it. At first I was impressed with its power and liked the lift off unit. However, after using it for about a year the cheap plastic started to break. It also clogs very easily and you have to take everything apart and make a big mess trying to clean it. The suction hose clogs and you have to run a wire through it to remove the plug.

The standup unit no longer stands on its own because a chunk of plastic broke off that locks it in the up position. One of the cord receptors broke off after about 20 uses. The belt tends to make a burning smell. The flex hose is not long enough and just pulls the lift off unit over unless you always hold it in your hand.

Unfortunately, all current home vacuums that I have seen are made of plastic. I agree with the previous reviewer, don't spend over $100 because it will soon be in the trash pile.

Hi, I bought this sweeper refurbished online for about $80 and that is the most I've ever spent on a vacuum. I tried it right away and was amazed. My previous was a dirt devil feather light that was on it's last leg. Before that I had the cheapest eureka Wal-Mart sold. This blew them all away. I must say that I swept with my old vac and then immediately went over it with this Bissell. I was embarrassed to see what came up in the canister. I went from that to showing it off to family. They were surprised to see that my seemingly clean carpet had so much hiding in it. One of the first things I noticed too is all of the cat hair it picked up. I have 2 cats and I never see their hair laying all over, but this got what was unseen. I should mention that I did have a 90 warranty on the refurbished model and I did have to take it in to a repair shop. I had clogged the hose and that was NOT coverd by the warranty, but it only cost $15 to fix. Other than that no complaints. Thanks.
