We have had this vacuum for 3 years. We bought it at Target. It works well ... I can say at the price? My parents are in true high quaility as vacuum Miele and you can really see the difference between these vacs and you buy in the stores every day as a target. Once we get into a bigger house is to splurge We Will Miele Bissell cartridge and this will probably be used to cover large areas while the actual details and get Miele carpets and furniture small area. R things RSOM to consider ..... r rThis is my first true vacuum, especially after so many marriage was a great thing and I liked it at first ... Until I saw my parents '500 $ Miele. A iff you have a new dog store any vacuum .... Our Schnauzer dog when he was a puppy, chewed up the cord. It costs $ 100 to repair shop vacuum. We could have bought a brand new is almost that amount, but it was a waste on the environment and we have set in place. R Ryou must take the suction main body to fix the extension tubes and attachments. If you're not careful, sometimes the pipe comes out and you can be anything like vaccumuing result. Simply connect the hose again. R Rone fixing broken pipes on the turbo brush. It is not repairable. We have to buy another line Turbo brush for about $ 30.00. My wife loved to clean the couch with her. In fact, turbo brush is a truly useful tool. R Rits strong ... I do not like being there when my wife is cleaning with it. R RSO its a real great product, but less than one star, because my dream is to vacuum Miele r rand least one star because of some problems of durability and noise.
I had this empty since January 2009. I have black carpet that 's quite short, so it seems to pick up dirt. I have two kids and a husband, and we live in the desert. I used this vacuum since buying almost every day and never had a problem. I had to clean the filter twice, it was very easy. Putting it together was easy - just a few screws and taking things in place. R RI never got to use the accessory TurboBrush Well, yesterday. I used in my friend's stairs - she has long hair, and two cats. It was amazing what the vacuum picked up and how good your stairs looked after. I like that he's not a super heavy vacuum. I also used the brush in the corner and also works amazingly well. I have not noticed any "tipping easy ". Even when I was cleaning the stairs, or if I have it in another room plugged in. throughout the house. I don 't know what people are talking about when they say that tips easily. He did not. My kids can run / crawl through it or bump him and 's because it never fell. R RIT has excellent suction. I have on occasion accidentally sucked up the cord. Nothing bad happened, but wow, talk about sucking! I used it to clean my car too, and it 's great. The extra long cable is awesome! R RIT is loud, but it 'in a vacuum, you can ' t seriously expect silenced. R RIT also has a wide suction area. Most vacuum cleaners, you have to manipulate the vacuum Corners funny or even stand up against a couch or wall. This is a great, usually I can just run it from the front of the couch and picks up everything! The first time I used it, I was living in my house for a few weeks. The amount of hair that was caught amazing. This vacuum sucks - in a good way! ri r give this vacuum 5 stars. R rUPDATED 10/09/2007 rStill love this vacuum! I recently had a problem with it having less suction, a good cleaning revealed a lot of hair and dust (living in the desert + three + girls in a house a long-haired cat). After cleaning it out, it worked like new! :)
I ve 'owned this vacuum for three years. I ve 'always quite pleased with its performance and ease of use. I Have the same problem as several others by how easy tips. After that hit me in the back several times while with furniture cleaner hose detachment, I ve 'Learned to keep the vacuum close to me to avoid detachment of the hose stretches too far and pull more vacuum. But it 's really the only complaint. R RWE has a LOT of dog pens and toddlers. In the last few hours, I ve 'has been getting after I vacuum the floor to see up close, and I still see the dog hair more than I ' d like to see. Of course, it 's much better than before I run the vacuum ... but I'm hoping to find a vacancy that may get all the dog hair out R ri Own. A friend who owns and loves his Dyson two years. I asked if she would mind him more so I can test it to see if it would be worth spending $ 600 to replace my Bissell. I chose the carpet test area - the area most frequently traveled by humans and dogs (and where she often choses located on or rolled over) First., I vacuumed half of the test area with my Bissell. I have a decent little clumps of hair and a tiny number of droppings / dust. I then sucked the second half of the test area with only a Dyson. Dirt cup looks almost the same. I then took the original Dyson Bissell on the test area. Took only a little dog hair that Bissell left, but no additional dust R. Ri then took Dyson throughout my main floor. I have t 'sucked in around three days. Usually within three days, I can get enough dog hair, dust, and Bissell Dirt to fill the tube at least 1/4-1/3 of the road. Well, Dyson Picked up a pretty good amount of fur, but almost no dust or Dirt. So far as effectiveness, I felt like Dyson gets dog hair out a bit more, but not a lot of dust / Dirt as Bissell. However, the biggest difference I see in this test is the ease of maneuvering and encourage the two vacuums. I am a 30-year-old woman in good physical shape that works and obesity isn t '. At the time I finished the living room and master bedroom with a Dyson, I was completely exhausted and had to rest. I asked my friend if I do something wrong. He said I wasn t 'and then he tried to vacuum my daughter' rooms. He actually agreed that the Dyson is very hard to push on carpet decorations, but he noted that the standard carpet and home, he has no problem pushing it. With the Bissell, I don t "Does it matter at all. Very easy to push and maneuver R. Rafter this test, I ve 'decided to keep $ 600 in my pocket and keep the Bissell.
I had this empty for three years I think the most. ambition is still and remains very good shape. i love it. easy to push, easy to handle, doesn 't wear, and collect all the loose hair of my two beautiful dogs (pug and pekingnese!). ri did not have to wear, probelems no motor, no power loss. maybe s 'Cause I m ' not so stupid as to neglect to clean the filter? I have purchased many gaps, many of them more money, some more. Finally, Pls factoring in the price, ease of use and overall satisfaction, its probably the best buy I've made. Sometimes my complaints are just the hose out, and I have enjoyed several annexes. That s two small complaints. high vacuum. oh and ' s purple. chicks dig it!
I have owned that cost less vacuum that worked better. I do not have plush carpeting and clean it could not even something so basic. It worked okay for a while but after a short time, it seems to Lose Suction year. It sort of moves things around but nothing absorbed. It 's also incredibly messy when you clean it. After I 'm done vacuuming, Leave it to tons of dirt on the floor where the vacuum finished even if I leave it running for a bit. The closet was where Kept it is filthy! I had it when I did my major spring cleaning. When I moved the furniture there were many small dust bunnie. COULDN It 't pick up ANY OF THEM. I picked them up by hand. R rit 's so bad that even after less than two years I won ' t even give it to a second hand store. No one should be suckered into buying it. R rit 's extremely lightweight, I ' ll give it that. But I guess you get what you pay for.
I bought it on sale in Pls vacuum it first came out and it seems to work properly. I like it, and use it myself and once s / t housekeeper WHO helps out 2x a month. I love it. It is very reliable and I have had it like almost three years now. The housekeeper swears that this is the best vacuum ever. He tells me it is so much better than other vacuums He That Every other client works there. It does seem to do a better job picking up and the clear bagless cyclone is easy empty - I finally got around to cleaning the filters and stuff and even that was easy. Good vacuum for a cheap price.
I purchased this vacuum two years ago and love it. It 's the best vacuum I ' ve ever used and I would not buy any other vacuum unless it was in Bissel BAGLESS with the same technology (like I know there 'sa pet hair that looks very similar one). R rThis vacuum has great suction and is very easy to empty. I hate vacuum with bags, which is what drew me to this, and this one makes it so easy emptying. R ri also like all the attachments that it comes with and the fact that it 's very lightweight, which makes it easy to carry upstairs. R rThe only problem I can say is that once it got clogged and in trying to unclog it and a piece broke off inside (the part that distributes tunnel whatever it is you sucked up into the holding container). It 's made of cheap plastic, so it just snapped off, so every time I went to empty the dirt, the tunnel portion would fall out, which made it annoying to put back the waste container. I Gave In And finally just bought the pet hair vacuum of Health (which was fine because I 'm getting dog to soon anyway) and am Curious to see how that one compares. R reals, after two years, the rubber of the cord so that the Severing began Wires were exposed and I had to wrap it with electrical tape in several places ... however, I will be honest and say that I am not gentle with my vacuum, which could have exasperated the problem. R ri also recently moved into a house with Laminate floors and it does not pick up the best on hard surfaces, even on the hard floor setting. It 's better as a carpet vacuum.
So I'm writing this vacuum that is terrible. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, I took a lemon. But Bissell customer service is clear to me that they are not behind their product. R Rheris situation. I bought a vacuum in October and six short months later the belt broke. SIX MONTHS .... the emptiness of $ 129 that broke in less than a year. I was 't super Upset at first, I thought ... no worries ... I just can Bissell contacts and let them know the situation and because they have a limited warranty of one year, they will be happy to send me replacement parts and all will be good in the world. R roh on ... This was not the case. They said that the belt is a laptop and that was not covered. So was I shocked ... the potential lifetime customer, someone who refused to buy Dyson on a principle that costs a fortune. So I kindly replied, again the situation, but in vain. They refused to make the right purchase. So, I share my story with future potential customers. R Ryou have the right to your own decision, but just ... It was my first experience less positive and I'm really into this product. Well, another company that says it cares about its customers ... but the actions of the 'have spoken loud and clear.
Forget All the reviews from people who 've had it a few weeks. I listened and I am very sorry. Do not think, oh, this negative review is just an aberration, they need constant way a bad one. R rthe problem is bad design. Not getting a lemon. R Ryes, it has good suction. But it is suffering to operate. Suffering! Dirt and pet hair get clogged vacuum above, not below the "bagless " section. part that comes out. It 's top gets clogged. And the design means that there is no way to reach there. Fingers won t fit 'without cutting your hands. Long tools can 't eject these things without major effort. R rBelts is difficult to change and break all the time. Rit R Sometimes it starts smoking. And burns the carpet if you leave it standing still while Trying to use the extension. So You have to remember to thump it over while using the extension to avoid that. R rand if you 've Never had a bagless, beware: dirt goes everywhere. And you have to empty it frequently. So you 're making a huge effort to keep your vacuum clean. R rBut even want bagless: DO NOT GET THIS ONE.
This vacuum was burning my pretty, new Berber carpet and now I got replaced the carpet where my stairs! Before that fell steadily from the tube and could barely get it up and suck it all. The pull is terrible. This was a waste of money and in the end costs me money because I buy a new vacuum and new carpet.
After only 3 months of use, which broke three belts and rollers and 2 Replaced turned to another. Now, this is the roll cast after only a couple of minutes. I have carpet bit, too. The Bissell steam cleaner I had only lasted one year. I 'll never buy another Bissell product again. I bought a vacuum cleaner shark 's lasted a year so far without problems.
This delicious Bissell was the fulfillment of his promises. It has excellent suction, a wide range of accessories Nice and easy to use feeling. We're very pleased with the results we get on the floors, furniture, carpets and a wall covered with long hair. An excellent piece of engineering. I would buy this vacuum again without hesitation and a gift for one of our children. Bravo Bissell.
After moving into my new apartment a year ago, I Decided It Was Time To Make Some Purchases grown up .. Including a vacuum cleaner. Bought And two very nice, very expensive drugs 8x10 and wanted to keep Them Spotless. My boyfriend and I were good at first, But Within A Short Amount of team we where eating dinner parked on the sofa in front of the tv room living conditions. Despit this bad habit, I am Somewhat OCD when it comes to cleanliness and Purchased a dirt devil stick vac for about $ 60. This thing NEVER worker. My drugs always Looked Exactly the Same Afterwards and left me feeling like my apartment was still dirty. Finally, after Our first dinner party planning and Realizing and couldn 't Have Without cleaning Our people over drugs and Better Decided to purchase a vacuum. And Had no idea how expensive These Things are! And wanted to Dyson INITIALLY, But after much research and reading customer reviews, decided on the Bissell Velocity 3950. It Took 10 minutes put this puppy together tone out of the box (if that). The first time I Tried it on Our much-used living room rug, I Was in shock at how much dirt and dust Picked it up! The WAS Canister Completely dust sheet after one use! And proceeded to go crazy and Used vacuum it where garlic Not Only But Also Of Our drugs on the bare floor (where the bare floor setting) and it work great everytime! And Also did use the peices That turbo attaches to the Hose in order to clean Our sofa. I do AGREED That the back side of the vacuum does generate a lot of heat while Used like this, But its not a big deal to me (Especially DURING cold weather). I see NO cones with this vacuum. And only hope That it doesn 't crap out on me in a Few Months, my heart will Truly Be Broken.
I bought this vacuum after hours and hours of reading too many reviews of different cleaners and get confused and more confused. It was something all right, I give up, lets just go with this one because people say it is good and is quite affordable. R! AThe first time we sucked our apartment with him, the boat was on average land-....... it was a total surprise. My wife is a very clean and our carpet She emptied every two days at least. Since then, we are very happy with the product, its been a few months, and it works wonderfully. R AThe only reason I'm spending my time writing this review is for the benefit of many, like me, what confused vacuum buy at this price. In short, my wife and I are very pleased with this vacuum, it is much better than the other (sometimes more expensive) that we had used empty.
We bought this vacuum a few months ago to replace the aging Hoover Windtunnel, but after using the new Velocity, we decided to continue using Hoover Well, it 's Wheels FINALLY Fell from the bottom. Do we have a Hoover for 4-5 years, so really good purchase. The new speed, but it was more negative than positive. R Ron positive side, this unit is fairly easy to empty and detachment of the suction hose has been very good. Turbo nozzle attachments gray snapper impressive, much better than s Hoover "is R. RNow to negative. It seems pretty good vacuum at first, but now when vacuuming the carpet was dark with dog hair, terrible performance! This after less than 20 uses, and the filter top is not installed. Also I clean the air filter, but it did not help. belt from slipping, so I can 't explain why this is Happening. you can see on the carpet where it hits the carpet roller brush , but I have to go to the same place 50-10 times to completely vacuum the area. The second thing is the center of balance. I'm using a stick attached to a person who quite often on a solid surface, and the vacuum will tip over very easily. This is where the detachment of suction hose too good because it compresses the detachment of vacuum hose and ended flat on it s 'again. On / off switch is easy to use also do not like that is blocked by the vacuum unit. RI Bissell buy my mother a more basic model and has been used 10 times more often than the model while the performance of this 'is twice what Velocity has. I certainly would not buy again and will be selling vacuum that still looks brand new to get a good Hoover, or maybe another shell out money to give Dyson shot.
Don 't get me wrong, I love this vacuum. That other people have difficulty talking about the hose getting Knocked easily, but big with excessive pet hair from my Feline too big and hairy. But here 's about it: For some reason I never got the message that BAGLESS FILTERS ON A REALLY NEED to be cleaned and frequently changed. While I was vacuuming one day, suddenly became hard and worrying about me 'd burn engine. WARNING INDICATOR TO EVER COME ON. Repair shop that will collect more than 200 dollars to fix it and I'll have to wait for the machine to be sent. poor vacuum I have just past the warranty and now contribute to landfills. I hate to be part of community life. In the repair shop said that they constantly get this BAGLESS vacuum that has been burned in this situation. I checked a few consumer reviews and has since purchased the Hoover Tempo (bag) for only 64 dollars, and so far I m 'was really pleased. Changing bags is far less experience than the dusty, empty the dirt container as well.
I was so impressed with this vacuum for the first few months. It seemed left picking up all the debris that was my old Hoover. But after the first few months, it started getting up very easily clogged. I emptied the dirt cup regularly reviewed and the top piece of what comes out and pulls apart for cleaning. We have two hairy dogs and the dog hair in it just piled up. I even began to wash everything with water and letting it dry to keep them upright. But, it sucks hardly anything, and it will definitely melt or ruin carpets or rugs when you use it while sitting on the carpet, to plants. The agitator brush just turns and turns on your carpet or rugs. R rmy biggest complaint is that the hose pipe breaks very easily from the vacuum, so that everything you eat vacumming up the hose, and flies right back into the air. I 'll have a whole room and sucked Note that the dirt cup is empty (and that I look ' m very much sneezing) and when I down, I notice that the black hose from the clear hose connector housing contained in them. It 's major design flaw with this device, and it ' s the worst that has ever allergies. R rThis was a huge disappointment. I 'm look at the new Hoover to see if they ' ve fixed some of their problems.
I also read all the comments of this great void before I bought it. I checked many sites and was confident reviewer, I bought the best vacuum. Unfortunately I did not. Before that, I had a friend who got a new vacuum every year, and gave me his cast off. This was the first vacuum cleaner that I purchase in 15 years (my friend has a Dyson --- still working great after 6 years longer to cast off s 'for me). Again, I did all my homework and anguish on my choice. I know that $ 120 or so maybe not much to some people, but I want all the needs of my cat I can get. R Rat first vacuum cleaner that seems unresolved. Gradually, it lost suction and had a bad smell of burning and developed a terrible noise (loud for my neighbors to the side can be heard through their closed doors with A / C!). I found that all the cat hair / / lint Dirt was hung on the slats of the top cyclone that resembles a sort of permanent filter (not a mechanic here). There are two "see through the " containers and I 'm talking about the top .. the lower one is the one you remove to pour the batter. Well, apparently everything was blocked. Because I 'm not a person that I did my best set to use a metal spoon to scrape long these things off. t is a long history of work does the running well. I sent down and the vacuum worked better (but not even 50% of how it worked when I had originally) after only two months, but it is completely clogged again. I empty the bucket ALL the time. There seems to be a design flaw or something. Ri R 'm looking for S. Dyson 'I ' d rather put the money to have a machine for 5-6 years then buy one every year. In 4 years, I 've more than pay for Dyson. My mother still has her original SHE Hoover had when I was young (and I 'm in 40 s '!) And it works very well. I can t 'believe that all these new vacuums are disposable so you get a year or two at most. My ex has bought a Eureka when I bought it and gave it six months ago after only a few months. Garbage! R PLEASE rWhen remember reading reviews that initially, the vacuum appears as an answer to a prayer. However, be aware that many commentators have only been to one month (or months). The real test for me is that after about nine months, this thing was pretty useless and I was getting filthy dirty try cleaning to get to work.
I LOVE this vacuum. I hate cleaning, especially the dust. En seems pointless with my other vacuums - Do I run the vacuum over-carpet repeatedly to get it clean. This vacuum is easy, it's so good to clean the carpet you CAN tell a BIG difference. This makes cleaning much more useful.
When I first used this vacuum, I was very impressed by its performance. It sucks, in a good way. But there are also a few cons you should be aware of when making your purchase. R r1. IT IS VERY Tippy ... DO NOT Crouch down on your hands and knees and use the hose and an attachment without keeping a hand on the vacuum. (Sound hard? It is ... but it is for your own safety). This vac is very heavy and it will tip back over and bop you on the head if you 're not careful. R r2. The attachment parts break easily. Within six months, the base of my Turbo Brush snapped off when I was vacuuming the stairs. Then, in my 11th month, the upper tab that holds the cord snapped off. Bissell was very good about replacing the parts. R r3. Within five days of the expiration of the warranty, the vacuum started smoking and a piece flew off and hit my boyfriend in the face (yes, I vacuum - a keeper) but I digress. Called Bissell and they had me check a few internal mechanisms, which were intact, and GAVE me a tracking number to send the vac back. I have not gotten the replacement yet, but again, appreciated the customer service. R r4. Don 't try to throw rug vacuuming with it unless you want it pulverized. This vacuum is too strong for little bathroom rugs and such. R r5. I found that the bare floor level works poorly on bare floors. For whatever reason, it works better on bare floors at the first level. R ras an aside, I have a 1200 SQ. Ft. condo, 600 sq only. Ft. ... of which is carpeted and the carpet was brand new when I started using this vac. So I was by no means hard on it. I am excited to get the replacement as this vac does perform well. However, I wouldn 't expect it to last 10 years ... mine just made it to one. Good luck if you do buy it ... and remember, IT tips, so protect your noggin. Also, save the box in case you have to send it back.
As reviewers said Young, I can confirm that in the story-in vacuum tends to put things in the legs. If I walk barefoot, I feel all young children where the vacuum cleaner. The aspiration looks great, though. R RI that the culprit may be the most enthusiastic rotating brush. I 'I tried all settings high and that ' s not just exercise. R rThis probably be great if you have carpet. Customizable for apartments, with a stick Swiff.
I have had this vacuum for 6 months, I HATE IT! That's fine at first, but I already have to replace parts in it (roller brush and belt) and even with the new parts are still giving me problems. If I use it to vacuum more than one room begins to get hot and start smellling belt, also have poor suction and doesn 't Hardly taking nothing. when I empty the dirt out of pwetikemas always dumps a bunch of dirt on the floor, and tips on easly. I am very kekecewaanya in this product, and I can 't wait until I can get different. I will never buy another Bissell.
We just got this vacuum cleaner last night and I was amazed At The results. The first thing that comes to mind is ... gross, you'd think that We The Carpet vacuumed never before. It Was So Much pulling things out of The Carpet That We Are To The shells Before You finished vacuuming. Twice we went over-the-carpet last night and today ounces ... it 's Still pulling up dirt. Previous to buying this year with the vacuum You inherited Bissell Clean View. I actually never planned to buy a Bissell vacuum because the performance of that WS Less than stellar (evidenced by the amount of residual dirt on The Carpet). When I started "doing my research, I read the reviews for vacuum and they are very good, so I thought WE WILL try it. This Is Too Many good reviews to know this site and others . I would definitely recommend this vacuum, especially for the price - it 'sa great buy!
I bought this vacuum a week ago, and have used it twice. I have read many reviews before deciding which one to buy, and so far, I'm happy with my decision! To represent our selves and found it to Sears Essentials on sale for $ 99.00, which was great given the price I've seen online for this model were higher by $ 20.00 or $ 30.00. Assembly R rthe goal is simple Learn the signs before because I jumped the gun and attached the handle first, then had to take it back because the owner has to go on attachment below. The tube attaching to the unit was a bit 'challenging at first - I had to wiggle and do it just to be fine. Overall, it was easy to put together stills. R rthe first time I used it, I did not 't Vacuumed my house for a while' cause my old vacuum had finally bitten the dust, and it took me a while 'for research before buying one. I have a dog that shows LOT (she 's Malamute / Black Lab mix so she undercoat that "so long as a top coat that gets everywhere), and picked it up very well her hair! E' was very important to me . I used the link to the hair of the dog on the couch, and that worked well, too (I did not find "unnecessary " as did "another reviewer). I'm impressed with the capability edge is - takes it right up to the walls when you run it next to the baseboard R RNOW, I had to empty The Very often the first time because I did not have the '. sucked in so long. Goal this wasn t Last 'so bad. You have to be careful though, because if it gets too full, can 't do it without spilling dirt. If there is a drawback of the design, I would say that 's it. But I wouldn 't let that discourage you from buying the ... You just have to keep an eye while you vacuum. R People RSOM have mentioned is heavy. I noticed that due to the ergonomic design that I had to change the way they usually use a vacuum cleaner. If You Stay Close To The Machine (instead of walking up pushing away from you) vertically Stay longer, is easier to manage. But I will say that some people may feel heavy for R SAR, to put an end to this long-winded (objective information rather hope) review, I am very happy with this machine. - Especially for the price! I'm going to write another examination 4 to 6 months to say how 's Care. Good luck in your search!
powerful vacuum for the price! Bissell speed acquired to replace a 3 year old Maxima Eureeka vacuum stopped working. What a difference. The Bissell is not only more powerful, has many more ornaments. The bottle est très accessible and easy to remove and drain again. Mini turbo brush attachment is awesome .... ideal for cleaning stairs and my couch! This vacuum has great suction and totally beats my old Eureeka Even when it was new! Easy to use, attractive design, powerful suction. Buy a vacuum, that won 't be sorry!
