I am so glad I bought this. It's lightweight, yet does a great cleaning job. I have back problems, and the lightweight makes it much easier and handier to use than a regular vacuum. The headlamp makes it easy to see cat hair that I might otherwise overlook. It's handy for spot cleaning, whereas my big vacuum is a hassle to drag out and put away.
I have a thing for clean floors and 4 dogs so I'm always vacuuming. This is the absolute best vacuum ever. Easy to use, easy to charge, easy to empty and easy to detach the head to use the nozzle. It goes everywhere with a head that swivels. The lights show you all the dirt that's usually missed. The suction is fantastic and I can vacuum my whole house without using half the battery. It's the only vacuum I have that doesn't emit any smells because the filtration is that good! When you stand it up it actually stays put, no falling over or sliding.
Overall great little vacuum, but I live alone no pets mostly getting up dust and some hair. Had it about a year and the roller bar is already stopped working. I rarely use it on anything other than my hardwood floor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback, Carol. We're sorry to hear the brush roll stopped working after a year of light use, as that is not the experience we want for our customers. Please contact BISSELL Support at support.bissell.com or 1-800-237-7691 so we can help troubleshoot the machine and explore available service options.
The best pet vacuum I have used by far. I love the lightweight design and versatility to use as a standup or hand held vacuum. Great for my apartment and hardwood floors.
