The Best Vacuum Yet!,
We were fed up with our top-of-the-line Kenmore vacuum, which we bought in the hopes that a more expensive machine would also be more effective than the previous Hoovers and Eurekas that we suffered with. But that expensive monster was a nightmare from day one till the very end...and we decided that it might be better for us to buy a cheaper machine and replace it every year. We got recommendations from friends of ours to try out Bissell vacuum, and reviews on Amazon pointed us to this line of vacuums. We couldn't wait for it to be shipped to us, so we went to Target and found it on sale for $89. Yay!
Came home, took it out of the box, and discovered that the hose had to be attached, which was a bit of a challenge to the men of our household ;) But after that, it was good to go. And boy, does it ever go!!! It sucks stuff right out of the carpet, tends to take out a good bit of lint too, and the dust cup got filled very fast the first couple times we vacuumed our house. I think we had to empty the cup a few times the first time we vacuumed! So, that was very rewarding. It's been a few months now that we've had this machine, and it's still behaving itself. The only thing that seems a bit weak is the hose, which got twisted out of shape at the head end, but we can live with that. It still has the same suction power, and doesn't cause us any undue grief, and if it does, I believe the hose is easy to replace. The dust cup is nice...I was wary of going the bag-less route, but the convenience of this surprised me pleasantly. Empty the cup into a grocery bag once the dust has settled (we do it before we run it again, rather than after a vacuum session) so that dust does not rise up in a soft cloud. There is an indicator light which tells you when the machine is not at its optimum suctioning power, and this is beyond useful! Wash your filter when the indicator goes to red, and you'll be back to normal. The 35 (or 40?) foot cord is very nice. Make sure you do not get it trapped underneath the brush, as the cord's outer coating will get worn off; you will be an unhappy person when that happens! (A bit of electrical tape will take care of it when it happens, though.) I took off one star because of the somewhat weakly-constructed hose, and the fact that the brushes can't be turned off when using the attachments or doing bare floors. Happy vacuuming!

Bissell Momentum Bagless Vacuum Model 82G7,
By After having it for less than 7 months and using it twice a month or so it began to smell terribly of burning plastic that quickly filled the room and blue sparks visible within headlight lens. In addition, the vacuum became increasingly louder. The filters were kept clean, the belt replaced as needed and the dust bin emptied after each use. We contacted Bissell in early January 2009 and were told to take it to the closest authorized Bissell repair shop for inspection. Several days later the technician informed us the extremely loud noise is not normal; is caused by the motor failing, cannot be repaired so therefore must be replaced. Later that week we picked up the brand new, unopened, in the sealed box, replacement vacuum only to discover the plastic housing that secures the belt and brush was broken into three pieces within the box. A shipping issue? We are tremendously disappointed with this vacuum and the fact it only worked for 7 months before needing repair. This vacuum was purchased to replace our 15 year old, still functioning, Hoover upright which we now think was a mistake and not one we're likely to repeat. We're now waiting to find out if the replacement can be repaired, must again be replaced or will be exchanged for another model of some sort. Pros: Vacuum does an excellent job of cleaning carpeting. Vacuum cleans up pet hair adequately. Bagless, no bags to buy. Cons: Motor is exceptionally loud. Dust bin removal messy, must be emptied outside or you'll have to vacuum again. Upholstery brush next to useless. Hose does not stretch out properly when being used and pulls vacuum over. Brush spins on Bare Floor setting. Hose frequently disconnects from vacuum during course of vacuuming. Expensive filters. Clogs easily.

Good value for the money,
By tiger9415 (South Carolina) - See all my reviews I was amazed at how much pet hair and dust this vacuum collected after I had already vacuumed with my canister vac. I think it does a really good job. I also like the 35-foot cord, which means I can plug it into one outlet for the entire upstairs. I wanted a bagless, because the cost of bags would be a lot given how much dog hair I have to deal with. The container is easy to remove and clean. You have to be careful with things like curtains, bedspreads, and such that may be in contact with the floor, because its suction is powerful. It is also a bit loud for my liking, but not horrible. I have not tried it on bare floors, so I can't give an opinion about that. I would recommend this vacuum for anyone who likes a good value.
