[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great suction and power at the right price point. Upon first use it vacuumed up so much stuck in dirt from my carpets that our old vacuum wasn't getting. Seriously impressed! #sweepstakes
Avoid if you have pets that shed. This is NOT a pet vacuum.

There is a terrible design flaw to this product. I've owned it one month and already had to replace the belt three times. Dog hair accumulates in the belt track, then it heats up and melts the belt. Terrible design for something advertised as a "pet" vacuum. When the belt works it does vacuum up a lot of hair but the aggravation and cost of replacing the belt every ten days is not worth it. Would only recommend it to someone without a pet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had finally given up on my other brand vacuum which was loud and had pieces falling off. I purchased two Bisselles - one for upstairs and the other for downstairs) because my daughter raved about how she loved hers. My daughter was right! The machine is quiet, easy to use (the swivel is a delight), and picked up more dirt than the other would ever have. I'm impressed and wished I had purchased Bissell sooner! They are amazing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a gift to my daughter, here is what she had to say... OMG that vacuum is awesome!! thank you, oh and I learned how to unassembled it right away, as one of the cats cotton ball toy, got sucked up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only complaint I have about this vacuum is the size of the canister. Having 2 dogs and 2 cats the canister fills up rather quickly. I had 2 Dyson animal vacuums prior to this vacuum, I decided not to buy another Dyson because I think they went cheap. My original Dyson is I think 20 years old and the replacement is half that and junk compared to my first one. The original still works but getting tired, the newer one is already in the trash so I wanted to give Bissell a try. I've only had it a week and it seems to work very well except the canister is too small.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can't turn off the main brush, so if your using just the hose and any extension tools, the main brush is still running and will wear out the belt quicker, or get caught up i something. We've been through 4 belts in 2 years because of this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Mick. Thanks for your feedback. We do have vacuums with a brush on/off switch. If we can help you find a product you'll love, please don't hesitate to contact us at support.bissell.com.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this is a good vacuum. I was very pleased with the suction (for both carpet and hard floors) and the attachment options. I absolutely love the cord rewind feature, but I think the button for the rewind should be closer to the actual cord. The amount of push buttons (power, cord rewind, and tilt) are all too close to each other. I would hit cord rewind when I meant to tilt the vacuum. My other concern about this vacuum is the weight of the base especially since I was carrying it to different levels of my home. I found the bottom to be bulky, heavy and difficult to navigate into tight spaces. It was easy to empty the canister and I also loved how easy it was to release the wand and use the different attachments. Love the clear canister and seeing the progress on cleaning. Overall a good vacuum if you have pets and do not have to carry it up or down stairs. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this.
