With extended suction power for spotless carpets, Bissell offers their Lift-Off Revolution bagless vacuum for household cleaning needs. The upright 12-amp vacuum offers turbo power and seven height levels to accommodate a wide variety of floor and carpet types, while eradicating both deeply embedded debris and light layers of dust. With a long-lasting HEPA filter, the vacuum also improves an environment's air quality, stripping away dust mites, ragweed, and most grass pollen. The vacuum further endears itself to users with its detachable body, leaving the upright frame behind for the more portable canister format that better suits cleaning stairs and other elevated terrains.

To ensure a clean carpet, the 15-inch wide vacuum head features a helpful headlight to illuminate soiled patches. Using Bissell's new Revolution System, the vacuum sucks dirt and debris from even the plushest carpet for heavy-duty cleaning. Debris travels through a HEPA media filter into a sealed dust cup. The dust cup detaches from the vacuum body for easy emptying. The cleaner comes equipped with a special TurboBrush to conquer pet hair and vertical stair cleaning. Rotating brush power can be obtained by flipping a switch. Additional attachments include a telescopic extension wand, dusting/upholstery combo tool, crevice tool, and an extra-reach hose. The power cord spans 30 feet in distance. For the best results, the HEPA filter should be replaced every three years and should never be washed. Bissell offers a one-year warranty for this item. The vacuum measures 15 by 13-3/4 by 44 inches and weighs 27.9 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Value, Great Design, June 6, 2006

By	A. Freeman (CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An upgrade to my last Bissell (Cleanview Deluxe),this one is even better....was ONSALE for $160, and well worth it.
Removeable canister capability is easy and makes this vac so much more versitile...such as taking out to your car or for carpeted steps. I really love the user friendly design of these Bissell vacs....never complex, and I don't feel I need a manual to understand or operate.
Super suction...and the brushes are so powerful, it almost feels self propelled as you push forward.
The 'telescoping' function of the extension wand was a nice upgrade, although it does takes a little time getting used to it...also the new dual-headed brush tool is an inovative idea i like.
Another really nice upgrade is the on/off brush power button...and the vac is now smart, even when brushes are powered ON, they wont rotate till you step on the release pedal AND pull the handle down towards you.
I also noticed you can now pull the handle down literally to the FLOOR without the front of the vac lifting up...this means being able to roll further under couches/tight spots.

If I had to give CONS :

1) There are 3 filters...1 HEPA and 2 foam...the foam filters in particular should be cleaned once a month,as directed..but I check even more often (due to high traffic/pets)... They can get pretty dirty relatively fast, and although u may not notice any loss of suction,I assume cleaning these filters often will always improve performance...... Its not hard to do, they are basically foam sponges u can rinse clean, and they dry pretty quick.

2) The vac when all together as 1 unit, is pretty heavy. Doesnt bother me, but may be an issue to some. My wife immediately noticed the weight... The canaster vac, when separated, is easy to carry with its handle, but some may still find even this a little heavy as well.
In my opinion, the weight is due to good construction and a strong motor. I think its worth it.

3) Seems like a lot of new vacs come with some form or version of a 'turbo brush' attachment. I'm not a fan of these...the brushes are SUCTION driven, NOT motor driven. Its a gimmick tool.. I prefer the simple NON turbo brush tool that come with this vac, and I let the suction power (and a little up/down motion of my own) do the work. I keep the turbo brush permanantly removed from the handle altogether. To me its just added dead weight.

4) only 1 improvenment I could think of now is a retracteable cord....

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, excellent machine!, October 20, 2005

By	Annie Kasperovich "queenanniesattic" (Lorain, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had this machine for about a month now, and it just keeps getting better and better! I was told by our local vacuum repair man to stay away from bagless, but I took the plunge anyway and couldn't be happier. This machine does it all. The first day of use, it picked up dirt and dust that my Hoover Windtunnel left behind. It's convenient to vaccuum our stairs now, as the unit lifts off and can be hand carried. The turbo brush is an excellent tool to use. Suction on this vaccuum is outstanding, as well as ease of emptying the container when full. No more messy or difficult to install bags either! I highly recommend this vaccuum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great design for hard surfaces, pet hair, February 14, 2006

By	Robert J. Campbell Jr. (Manchester, NH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Every room in my house has hardwood floors or tile, as well as area rugs. My previous vacuum did not have a switch to turn off the brush. When I used it to vacuum a hard surface, the brush just blew the dirt all over. I was reduced to sweeping all the hard surfaces and using the vacuum on the rugs.

Fed up with the tedium of this, I shopped for a bagless cannister vacuum, since they generally have attachments dedicated to hard surfaces. Ones that met my needs started at $250. Then I found the Bissel lift-off system for about $170. It was an upright, but it had a switch to turn off the brush.

The more I thought about the lift-off feature, the more it appealed to me, too. We have a Great Dane and a cat, and their fur gets everywhere you could imagine. Being able to carry the cannister makes cleaning behind furniture, between appliances, and along walls makes much less of a chore. I do it more frequently, in less time, with better results. I no longer feel like I live in squalor.

If you have many hard surfaces or awkward locations to clean, I recommend the Bissell Lift-Off.
