Have a herd of rescued cats and they all shed all the time. Thought my Shark vacuum was great until the suction hose split right in two so I replaced it with this Bissell. Knew it would be good but I am blown away! Just a few passes in a bedroom and the canister looked full! I keep a clean house so I'm horrified at what the Shark was missing. Not enough words to say how happy I am with this vacuum. House even smells cleaner and I can actually see the difference in the carpets. I haven't used the attachments yet but I'm sure they will be great for the furniture. So happy that I had to text friends right away.

Great value, cleans well, easy to empty. We wanted a bagless machine, and after cleaning with our previous vacuum, used this one, and it picked up several inches of the "just cleaned" carpet. After 2 years, it's still doing well. I empty regularly, clean yearly and it keeps cleaning well for us. **We do not have pets, and don't wear shoes in our house for the most part.

The one thing you cannot top with this vacuum is its ability to clean hard surface floors. Though I do wish you could turn off the brush roller because I need to vacuum dirt and sand up in the kitchen everyday on a hard floor but with the brush roll on all of that makes it hard to use on my carpet afterwards. The rewind is not as good as hoover or panasonic, it really takes as much time as winding the cord yourself. It's got its pro's and it has its cons.

This is replacing a $3000 vaccum that is 12 years old and used until it died. So comparatively, it is ok. It does the job. We have old carpet and 2 hairy beasts as well as 4 children, 3 of them are teenagers...there is always a need to vaccum. IT does good on pet hair, haven't really tried the pet extractor tool yet, the tool for stairs is good for the corners and the crease, I bet the pet hair extractor, since it has a beater thing would be good for the foot/tread/ surface of the steps. Overall, happy with purchase, easy to empty hair and dirt out, much easier than my more expensive model. The filters are easy to clean and really need it with old carpet and the crew we have living with us. Cleaning those about ever 2 uses and the filter is dusty. water and a little liquid soap. A good rinse and squeeze and allow to airdry and you are good in an hour or so to use it again. Overall, good vaccum for a low price. All plastic, but it works. Would purchase again

Worth the price

Vacuum very hard to push

Great product

the belt burned and broke after just 2 uses and it even melted onto the roller!

Good suction; Heavy Duty but not too heavy Great price/value

Literally the best! We switched from shark and picked up so much I was really shocked, very happy with my purchase
