BissellCleanView Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner with Active Wand, 3536

I can’t speak of the longevity of this vacuum, but I’m very pleased with it so far. Having tried the battery stick type, the robot, and the canister, I like this upright the best.The stick vacuum battery died twice, and it was like $100 to replace. I liked the convenience, but not the expense or not being able to clean the floors while waiting for a new battery to arrive.The robot vacuum was also convenient, but in my opinion, it didn’t pick up nearly as well as a standard vacuum cleaner.. if you live in a house with large rooms and not too much furniture, the robot will be fine, but for small apartments, it bounces off every surface and goes over the same place three times, while missing other spots completely. And if you want to rearrange your furniture, you have to re-map the whole place. It would take 45 minutes and not do a great job.As for the canister vacuum, it was cumbersome to drag around, and it would kept getting caught when navigating around doorways.THIS ONE: It seems very well made and sturdy. I’m a senior, and it was easy for even me to put together. Just snap the hose ends in I put the extra brushes on their holders.. it has a long, retractable cord, which is a definite bonus -no more cords to tediously wrap around the handles. It does not make an annoying, high-pitched wine like some vacuums. It has a wand release and brushes to clean high areas like blinds or curtains, and low areas like baseboards. You can adjust the height for carpet or bar floor. I have a low pile carpet and I left the setting in the middle and it worked fine on my carpet and my kitchen floor. The suction power was great and I got quite a bit of dust out of my carpet. I also like that I can see what came off my floor and empty the container very easily. I think this vacuum is well worth the price and I highly recommend it.

I love this vacuum. The height settings are a little odd I can't use the lowest setting because the brushes just grind at the floor but I do use it occasionally to get stuck stuff off my floors.After using just my Roomba on my carpeted rooms for over 6 months. you would not believe the amount of hair and dirt I got out of those carpets.Also the color I chose said red on the selection but from the picture I saw that it was aquamarine so I couldn't resist because that's my favorite color. Not a big fan of the removable hose. I don't like how there's a stick you have to hold and it's kind of long to do stairs easily because it keeps bumping either side of the wall or banister and I have to switch directions. Oh well just a personal niche.Overall this is the best vacuum I've ever had I love the rewind cord I will never get a vacuum without one.

Oh my goodness! THANK YOU Bissell, THANK you Amazon and THANK YOU to the carrier who got this delivered yesterday with us needing a working vacuum as some things in the kitchen underwent fixing. I have a herniated disc in my mid back so this Vacuum is AMAZING. My husband bought this for me on Sunday and I looked up the other Bissell model we have and that one (don't get me wrong, Bissell is a GOOD brand) but that one it looks to be 19-21 pounds where as this one is just shy over 15 and 4-6 pounds may not sound like all that big of a difference to the average person but for me it means the difference of a day of physical recovery. When using the older heavier Bissell, I would after several hours of vacuuming our smaller living space be on the verge of tears and could barely move. I used this last night on most all the floors and some of the areas above the floor that needed vacuuming and NO BACK PAIN! Whoever designed this model--THANK YOU A MILLION! I love that it has a retractable cord, its simple hose detachment the length of the handle nozzle and its button detachment. The ONLY suggestions would be to have this model in different cord lengths and a better stand because of the attachments fell off while vacuuming whilst the other stayed on its stand. I would love to know if this model comes with long attachments for the handle to reach high vaulted ceilings. The suction--I have more confidence in this than the older pet geared model Bissell we have, but to be fair that could be because its an older vacuum. But yes, that is my review. I am very, very happy with it and hope and pray we get a good long run out of this vacuum!
