Overall it is a good vacuum, picks up the dirt well enough, easy to empty. The two downsides compared to my last Bissell vacuum (35961) is that the cord is 1/3 shorter and the vacuum takes more effort to push around.

My granddaughter especially like the retractable cord. She had a low powered stick vacume before and is very happy with this Bissel for her apartment.

Haven't had it long but so far I really like this vacuum. Its light weight, maneuvers well, isn't too loud and seems to clean well. I used my Sams Plus membership for free shipping and came really quick and there was no damage.

Used this vacuum for 5 minutes. At first the cord was slowly going back in, then we couldn't get it to wind back up. Returned the next day. So disappointing!

I especially like the self rewinding cord on this newer model. I wish the cord were a little longer but overall I love it. I have several dogs. I am constantly cleaning dog hair. The last one lasted me 10 years.

This vacuum has two things I've not been able to find in others. A wide floor brush and plenty of suction. I love the fact that there is a place for each attachment on the vacuum and that the height of the handle is higher than others I've had.

The cord is an issue. I slowly pulled on the cord and tried to stop and after the yellow tape. It now will not retract. This was the first time using it.

Seems like a great, heavy duty vacuum. Had to exchange for a new one because it started spitting out instead or vacuuming up. So far the second one has been fine and has done and great job.

This vacuum cleaner has powerful suction and picks up great. Second time purchasing this vacuum in 10 years. The previous one finally fell apart, more so than stopped working. Some of the parts weren't as sturdy. Hope this one is an improvement in that area, but so far so good. Wish the cord was a little longer. Great price though and works great.
