Using the hose connection couldn't be easier. No bending , just lift out of the top handle. It has a setting for bare floor , low, medium, and thick pile carpeting. When using bare floor option, no dirt shoots out of the side, even sand get sucked right up. The machine is solid, and dumping the debris couldn't be easier. The chord retriever is just the cherry on top. So far, I love this vacuum, and believe it will last a long time.

Better than the last model. I had to replace two rollers on the last one but that was after tons of use. I like that the hose is attached better on this model and the wand also disconnects easily. The only complaint right off the bat is that the cord doesn’t retract all the way. I have to push the last 5-7 inches back in while pressing the lever.

Pretty good vacuum. Pulls up dirt pretty good. Only negative things are the power cord could be a few feet longer and the accessory hose could be longer as well. If you get this just be prepared to plug & unplug to move it around clean. Other than that - I give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

I love my Bissels! The rewind cord is a selling point for me because of my messy kids! I also love that this one lifts out of the canister to use the suction "wand". My only complaint is that when using bare floor mode on my kitchen floors, it is VERY noisy. I have just kept it on carpet mode to vacuum my kitchen.

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.

Pleasantly surprised on how well this vacuum works. I’ve been a die hard Dyson fan for alittle over 10 years now but could not justify the price to replace the one I broke. I have 3 toddlers,two big dogs, shag rugs, and hardwood. this vacuum really holds it own, it does better than my Dyson did on the rugs. super easy to clean and I love the cord rewind button on it. I would definitely recommend this to

For $90 it does a good job. It is not as good as some of their other products, but it gets the job done. We got this for the small areas & dog hair on the bed. The hose isn't the best, as it tends to let dog hair back out in the air. The vacuum itself does a pretty good job.

Very strong suction but it is hard to push on our thick rug even on a high setting. It did suck up a sock and scared me like a smoking smell. Still happy with it but knocked off a star for the accessories falling off and how it could potentially be dangerous. First use and it picked up soo much hair and lint.

The most cost efficient high performing vacuum. I was skeptical because I seen more expensive vacuums thati thought I should get but so glad I got this one. The cord rewind works well. I own cordless vacuums but NOTHING beats a corded old school vacuum. Just the right attachments that’s needed. 🤌🏾

We have had several vacuum cleaners from Hoover, Bissel, Shark, and Dyson. For the price this Bissell has been the best for our needs. We love the retracting power cord, and it does a very good job of picking up fine dirt, as well as pet hair. In fact we now have two of this model, one for upstairs, and one for downstairs. The turbo power brush attachment if the very first of this accessory that has actually worked! My only criticism is the length of the hose on the wand. It would be nice to have one a little longer so that it would reach farther away from the base unit.
