I am very happy with my purchase. I actually enjoy vacuuming again. Cleaning it is such a breeze, I do it after every use. I want to make sure this machine lasts a long time. It is built well, the section is great, the manoeuvrability is easy for a woman my age. The filtration is excellent. The quality of carpet and bar floor cleaning is wonderful. And the noise is minimal, not at all a distraction or annoying.

Great suction, hair doesn’t get wrapped around the roller , 2 of the tools keep falling off of their storage area but that’s no big deal. I thought my old vacuum was doing ok till I used this one it’s amazing how much dirt and hair it picks up. I have 5 large to XL breeds and this picks up all the hair no problem.

I love this vacuum. The suction is great for all the dog hair my 2 fur babies shed off. The self winding cord is a huge plus, no more running over the cord, or fighting with the cord as you vacuum. Just pull out what you need as you need it and with a click of a button with your foot it winds right back in. The one negative thing I have found is that the attachment pieces don’t hold in place well so they are constantly falling off as I vacuum. Other than that, this vacuum is a great purchase.

This is the most powerful vacuum that I have ever used. I have vacuumed and shampooed my carpet several times and I THOUGHT it was cleaned. Since I bought this machine... oh my goodness, the dust, dog hair, and other debris it has picked up. It has also fluffed up the knap of the carpet... it looks new in spots. It's amazing!!!! I have since, purchased one for my son.

I am pleased with the performance of this vacuum. The only thing that displeased me is I paid full price for this vac and the very next day, it went on sale for $30 off. Sam’s would not refund the difference. I learned to late that I should have returned this one, then bought a new one at the sell price.

Just bought this to replace my shark. Great on hardwood and bare floors and wonderful for pet hair. A little bulky in terms of size and attachments are awkward for furniture. Would recommend highly for someone with dogs or cats that shed that has lots of hardwood, for someone who is going to be using the hose attachment a lot on furniture, I might look around first.

I like that the vacuum is lightweight and it does a good job at picking up the dirt. My only concern is that the brush doesn't stop turning when in an upright position or when using the attachments. We got the vacuum on sale so it was certainly a good deal.

The positive: The vacuum picks up GSD fur well from my rugs and wood floors. But I haven't had the vacuum long so I don't know how well it will hold up. It is also quieter than vacuums I've had before. The negative: The attachments fall from their onboard holders when I'm using the vacuum so I no longer keep them on the machine. The hose is an awkward length for me which makes using the attachments awkward too. But the most disappointing part of this vacuum is that the retractable cord does not retract at all! And since there are no hooks to wrap the cord around, I end up looping and draping it around the handle which it usually slides from and sits on the floor.

Too heavy, difficult to push, it sucks up my area rug and the plug keeps falling out of the outlet (with slack in the cord). I love that Bissell donates to pet rescues, but this vacuum is getting returned.

Good price point . Long cord and retractable a plus . Coming from a house with animals this vacuum is light weight with some good features but the hose is not long enough for the stairs . The motor sounds bogged down and not enough suction to draw in pet hair along the baseboards. I will continue to use it on furniture and bare floors until it dies but will go back to the shark .
