Bissell 35755 Equipped with an easy-to-empty, washable dirt container, this bagless, upright vacuum takes the fuss out of cleaning chores and, because it weighs just 14-1/4 pounds, reduces maneuvering effort, also. It cleans a 13-1/2-inch path illuminated by a headlight and comes with a stretch hose, extension wand, and two onboard tools (dusting brush and crevice tool). For cleaning various surfaces, the brush roll adjusts to seven heights, including one for bare floors. The 1440-watt vacuum has three filters, all removable and washable. One traps large particles before they enter the dust, another protects the motor, and the third helps clean air returning to a room. A 25-foot power cord gives the vacuum good reach, and the handles lower for cleaning under furniture. The vacuum stands 42 inches high, assembles easily with a single Phillips-head screw (which is included), and carries a one-year warranty against defects.
What a mess I've owned this vacuum for about 2 years now. At first, I liked it OK. I also have a Hoover Powermax Deluxe, and this Bissell wasn't on par with a Cannister Vacuum, but I figured it was OK for the price. Well, after a while, the filter got clogged and now, even though I rinse out the "dust cup" each time I use it, and the removable filter as well, it continues to get clogged frequently. The entire vacuum is covered with a fine dust, which re-appears each time I turn it on. I know this because when I turn it on, I see a cloud of dust puff out from the vacuum. I don't think this vacuum is necessarily any worse than other bagless vacuums, but that bagless vacuums in general do not work. People I've talked to seem to be unsatisfied with the bagless vacuum as well. My old 12 year old vacuum (with bag) is cleaner than this one. I have to buy filters for this bagless vacuum. I don't see the difference between buying expensive filters, or bags. I'll never buy another bagless vacuum, and I don't recommend this one. If zero was a choice, then I would have chosen that... I bought this vacuum last February and it worked wonderfully for about 5 months. Then we had problems with it every time we used it; and it had this awful burning smell and eventually broke.
I'm not in the business of buying a new vacuum cleaner every year. Save your money and buy something a little pricier that will last longer. It Doesn't Last This vacuum worked great for about 8 months, then it just gave up. The suction doesn't pick up dirt from the heavier carpets, and the filters blow out more dust that the vacuum picks up. Not worth it. I made the mistake of buying something less expensive hoping it would work, but I won't make that mistake again. What ?!?!?!? You know, I'm not sure what it was but after a few months of use the noise output of this vacuum rivaled that of Air Force Jets, no, seriously. Other than that, I did like the vacuum. High Maintenance and messy.. The vaccum has good suction.. I was very happy with the suction and it worked like a charm for awhile. I had to tear the thing apart several times just to remove clogs... no fun but it still worked fine. Now, only after 8 months of having the thing, the motor blew. I mean it really blew.. smoke bellowing out of the thing and all.
After doing bunches of research, it seems that many vaccum manufacturers make their vaccums intentionally to only last about a year. I will now be moving to a Dyson DC07. It is the cheapest of the dysons and it has a 5 year manufacturer warranty. All I have heard is good things about customer support also. In the long run, this is a much better financial decision instead of going with cheap vaccums every year.
Sorry Bissell, another unhappy customer here.
