[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great! I was actually surprised at the amount of pet hair that was hiding in my area rugs. Shocked to be honest. Super happy with the results of this vacuum.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this vacuum cleaner! That seems a little overly enthusiastic, but I have 2 dogs and am amazed at how well it handles the pet hair.

Pros: Light weight, adjustable, easy to empty, long cord and easy to maneuver. Cons: tools do not stay in place and button for retractable cord will not stay in place.

Bought this because of the price - on sale for $70. Brought it home, super easy to put together, no need to read instructions at all. Everything works. BUT, you get what you pay for. And this isn't worth $70. It is all plastic - and cheap plastic at that. The roller runs ALL the time, even if you just use the wand and attachments. The "small roller attachment" is 100% worthless - stops turning as soon as it hits upholstery. And the thing is LOUD - and sounds like a rough-running motor. Nothing smooth about this. The good news? It has very good suction. But I am returning it to Sam's the same day I bought it.

Super easy to understand, assemble and use. I was most surprised by the power of the motor. I expected something weak and barely adequate. This thing really picks up well, and has plenty of power for such a light machine. Perfect for scattered cat litter on a hard floor, or general dirt and dust on a low cut carpet/rug. Well worth the price.

I have bought MANY sharks over the years (I own my own cleaning business) they have all broke very quickly, and my newest one burned out and smells horrible and refused to actually get anything clean. I bought this vacuum today and it picked up pounds of dirt and pet hair off my floors! I was amazed! I am so happy I bought it! Hopefully it lasts longer than all those sharks did.

This is one of the best vacuum cleaners I ever purchased. Always bought shark vacuums but started having really bad luck with them. Took a chance on this Bissell and best decision EVER!!...very simple to assemble ( attach hose and wand. No screws just attach) could not believe how well it picked up all the dirt my shark never got. Even cat litter got picked up without scattering it out the sides. So very pleased! Love height adjustments and auto rewind of the cord. I'm a true believer in this vacuum at any price point.

Good suction and light weight. The rotary brush cannot be turned off for bare floors and is extremely noisy on bare floor mode and the 2 levels above that. We found a screw that fell out of the brush assembly but could not find out where it came from. The accessory tools are poorly placed on the sides of the machine and hit furniture and fall off constantly. The cord loses 4-5 feet when clipped to top of handle to keep it out of the way from vacuuming it up. The unit is extremely hard to snap it in its upright position after vacuuming.

I bought this today. It was easy to put together and I had high hopes. Within 4 minutes, the belt broke and the motor started smoking so bad that I had to open windows and doors (currently 21 degrees outside and snowing) to clear out the smoke. Wow. Clearly, I am taking it back to the store in the morning.

I was really hoping to love this vacuum, especially for the price. It is lightweight compared to most vacuums I've used. It has good suction. Those are the good. The meh aspects are that it can be ridiculously hard to push. I adjusted the height of the floor head and it can help, but there are still times where it just is difficult to maneuver. I only have hardwood and area rugs. No issues with the hardwood, but even on higher settings, the carpet is still challenging to vacuum. I have a sensitive shoulder so I'm definitely more aware of maneuverability than others, but still. It's also got a retractable cord, which I was excited about at first. When using the vacuum, it sneakily gets sucked back in and I have to keep stopping to pull it back out. Also, when I use the wand, the bottom is still suctioning. With my Shark, the bottom stops suction when I'm using the wand extension. It doesn't seem like it'd be a big deal but I wanted to vacuum out my car and putting the vacuum on the driveway, I didn't want to vacuum the outside and needed to put a floor mat out to put the vacuum on. So I'll have to continue my search for another vacuum.
