Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The 15-pound Butler Revolution vacuum from Bissell combines the powerful cyclonic cleaning usually found in uprights with the versatility of canister construction. Working in conjunction with the canister's bag, the cyclonic system collects additional debris in a translucent cup mounted on the floor nozzle. When the cup fills up, you simply pop it off and empty it. This two-method system provides consistent powerful suction and improves vacuum efficiency. Built to extend and collapse quickly, the telescopic aluminum extension wand on the Butler Revolution is great for cleaning out-of-reach or cramped spaces. The floor nozzle features an 11-inch cleaning path with bare floor or carpet capability, adjustable with a simple switch. You can also regulate the vacuum's suction power, cranking it up for tough jobs and turning it down for delicate surfaces. For reducing particulates in the atmosphere of your home, the vacuum includes a filtration system--one pre-motor filter to trap fine debris and one post-motor filter to improve air exhaust. Other helpful features include automatic rewind for the 20-foot power cord, a full-bag indicator, an onboard dusting brush, and an ergonomic carrying handle. The vacuum comes with six additional dust bags. --Emily Bedard

This thing sucks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bissell 6700 Butler Revolution Canister Vacuum (Kitchen)
This is meant in the best possible way. I've purchased many items from Amazon, but never felt compelled to write about any. However, this machine does its job and does it well. I previously had a very expensive Miele canister vacuum with a powered head attachment. I think that this little Bissell works just as well for a lot less money. Perhaps the Miele filtered more of the tiny particles that cause some people to suffer from allergies, but this puppy gives you visibly clean rugs and uncarpeted floors with minimal effort. I find the dust cup most gratifying. As I own a dog, my carpets are often covered in shed hair. The cup catches most all of this as well as the bits of his chew toys that lie about without filling up the bag. While you have to empty the cup often, it's very easy to do. Further, after checking the bag, I think the cup catches most everything and that the five or six bags you get with the machine might well be all you'll ever need. It's small, light and inexpensive. There are no frills here and a couple of attachments like a crevice tool and an upholstery head might be nice. However, for the price and the excellent performance such items are not greatly missed. I say that unless you're flush with money and looking for a "status symbol" vacuum, you should go with this one. It's just too bad that such values are so hard to find.

Perfect design for hard floors,

This review is from: Bissell 6700 Butler Revolution Canister Vacuum (Kitchen)
I bought this vacuum after spending a month in Europe staying with friends. It is much more common there to vacuum hard floors which Americans would usually sweep instead, and they have canister vacuums similar to this one to do it. Shortly after I returned to the States, I moved into a new place with hardwood floors and I knew I wanted one of these vacuums. I did a lot of searching for a similar style vac and this was the best model at the best value. Amazon's price has dropped significantly since then--I paid almost twice as much for it, but I still couldn't be happier with my purchase.The Butler Revolution is very well-designed. The canister can stand up or lie on its side, and has a nice handle that folds away. Those large wheels make the canister unit easily maneuverable--you can forget the canister is there dragging after you, and focus on cleaning quickly and efficiently with the flexible, lightweight floor cleaning tool. The light, small floor cleaning wand is really the key to being able to clean quickly and thoroughly with this vacuum. It's much quicker to maneuver than one of the larger, heavier, motorized brush heads designed for carpets. This design cleans better along the edges of walls and in corners, and is able to reach underneath furniture--these are usually the dustiest, dirtiest places, after all. The cleaning head and the handle are so flexible, I am able to reach into small or odd-shaped nooks and crannies and even vacuum the floor underneath my king size bed. The underside of the floor-cleaning tool is well-designed for hard floors. In front is a thin line of short bristles which help pick up dust, especially along baseboards. In the center is the cavity through which everything is sucked up, and behind is a squeegee-like rubber strip which prevents you from leaving anything behind. The floor tool is so low and close to the floor that sometimes in order to vacuum up larger objects like coins, bits of paper, or cereal, you have to lift up the head and position it directly over the object--a minor inconvenience, since the head is so light and easily maneuverable, and a fair trade-off considering this vacuum's overall cleaning abilities. By no means would I recommend this vac for homes with much carpeting. It performs okay on my few rugs, but is a lot slower and less effective than a regular motor-driven brush head designed for carpets. I will probably still drag out my old upright once in a while to clean my room-size rug. The fact that this vacuum is NOT bagless appeals to me. Having had a few, I don't understand the trend toward bagless vacuum cleaners. In my experience, they are a pain to empty out, and I end up coming into contact with all the dust I was trying to avoid in the first place, first emptying the dust cup, then cleaning out other screens, sponges or filters. I felt like I needed another vacuum to clean my vacuum! That said, I wasn't sure what I would think about the dust cup attached to the Butler's handle, but I was pleasantly surprised. Removal and attachment is quick and straightforward, and the dust empties right out--nothing needs to be shaken or rinsed. The cup catches and holds the larger items you vacuum up before they get to the vacuum bag, so that you hardly ever have to change the bag. If you have hard floors, stop sweeping and buy this vacuum! You'll clean your entire house in record time. If you have more money to spend, you might want to consider the Eureka Oxygen canister line, which is also very well-designed and has HEPA filtration.

Head and shoulders above anything else for the price!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bissell 6700 Butler Revolution Canister Vacuum (Kitchen)
I shopped for weeks before I bought this lightweight canister vac from Amazon at $54.49 with free shipping. I have only hardwood floors and tile, so I decided against a full-size canister with a powered head. The Bissell 6700 is actually a Samsung vacuum, made in Korea and sold as a Samsung only overseas. This unit excels on my floors, and with the well-balanced handle it's easy to pick it up for cleaning windowledges and vacuuming up webs. Compared to other sub-$100 units, this one:1) is actually solid and well-made. 2) is extremely quiet (yet powerful). 3) has an extendable aluminum tube instead of plastic. 4) has a cord retractor. 5) has a dust cup that significantly extends bag life. Everything has flaws of course, but these are my nit-picks: 1) the cord is a bit short. 2) there's no crevice tool. 3) replacement bags are not that available (six are included though). Obviously these problems are easily overcome. If you don't need to vacuum carpet, this is the only canister vac you need consider. I feel like I struck gold!
