Bissell 3750 Lift-Off Bagless Vacuum with Free Bonus HEPA Filter customer reviews: Great Vacuum for the price! I bought this vacuum reconditioned about three or so years ago. It is still going strong! I even compared it with a Kirby (that I used for the basement) and the Bissell worked much better. Meredith Beware: Flaw in lift-off design I got this unit for my wife about two years ago and the warranty is past. She loves it! But... Bissel lift-off units work extraordinarily well but the electrical connection between the base and lift-off portions is a weak spot. After a year or two the contacts become tarnished and develop resistance which leads to excessive heat build-up at the connector. Eventually, this leads to a melt down of the plug. The unit begins to smoke and the prongs in the connector can get so hot they actually melt off! Furthermore, evidently only half the plug is available as a replacement part while both halves are ruined in this meltdown. This leaves you with the lift-off portion still working fine but the base portion is useless. Fire Hazard!! I had the same problem as another Bissell owner. I noticed a burning smell and saw smoke while using the vacuum. After investigating, I noticed that one of the prongs had completely burned off the bottom of the canister and the connection on the base had burned as well. I immediately reported it to Bissell and they are sending a "remanufactured" replacement. The unit is 2 1/2 years old and out of warranty. While I am happy to get the machine replaced, I think they should have a recall on this model as it is certainly a safety hazard. Not only that, it is very hard to maintain and the filters constantly have to be cleaned. I finally just went out and bought extras, so I can continue to use the unit while I wait 2 days for the washed filters to dry. I would think twice before purchasing this model. Fire Hazard I have barely had this vacuum for a year and, when it was new it worked fine, not great, fine. We received this as a house-warming gift from our parents when we moved into our new home. I don't think they banked on it almost burning the house down. As this vacuum gets dirty it doesn't work at all, you have to keep replacing HEPA filters, and washing the other ones for it to work. Now one might say what's wrong with cleaning the filters as it gets dirty? Well, I don't know about you, but I don't feel like cleaning filters every time I vacuum my 1500 sq. ft. home. That's not convenient for a vacuum that touts itself as a bag-less low maintenance appliance. This thing is a piece of crap, stay away from it. I'd give it less than a star if I could. Today, the vacuum cleaner caught on fire Worked Great Until It Almost Caught Fire After reading all the reviews, I can't believe this vacuum hasn't been recalled. I don't know if the company is unaware or simply doesn't care. This vacuum was great for about 2 years and I used it a lot. I didn't have any problems with it losing suction from dirty filters as some people mentioned, but it did short out as many folks have mentioned. I kept noticing a hot smell the last couple of times I used it, and finally started seeing smoke. As other reviewers mentioned, on the bottom of the canister where the canister plugs into the upright handled, the rubber/plastic material around the prongs was completely melted and the metal had turned black. This would have been a great vacuum, but the fact that the company hasn't done anything about this problem and how dangerous it could be would prevent me from every buying another Bissell or recommending them to anyone.
