(More customer reviews)I purchased this vacuum cleaner a few weeks ago to replace an Eureka upright I had been using for 3 years. For me, the Eureka was nothing short of aggravating to use most of the time. I have been very happy with my new purchase!
Out of the box, the machine was easily assembled. Assembly required a phillips head screwdriver and 3 screws to secure the handle to the body. The hose and cord wrap attachments snapped into place. In action, I noted that the machine is easy to maneuver over my carpeted floors, and the variable adjustment knob used to adjust the brush height was easy to use and made pushing the machine around easier. I also noticed that the noise level was below the Eureka, also a 12 amp machine.
I was surprised at the debri the machine pulled up out of the carpet.Watching the detritus circulate in the bin with the cyclonic action was satisfying to watch as I moved the vacuum over my floors. Unlike most uprights I have had, the attachments on the Bissell are effective and easy to use. I was able to clean a flight of 12 stair steps using the turbo brush without having to wrangle the machine up the steps. When using attachments on past uprights, it always seemed that the hose would retract when the attachments were in use, tugging at the machine and tipping it or requiring me to wrestle with it while trying to complete my task. I also enjoyed the ease of using the brushes for dusting my lampshades and furniture. The turbo brush picks up my Pug's hair from the upholstered furniture without any problems. I was also able to vacuum behind my washer and dryer using the wand extension-something I haven't been able to do easily before now.
The collection cup empties easily using a spring-loaded lid located at the bottom of the collection canister. I find that I do not need to touch or dig out the debri as I did with other machines. I like not having to manually deal with the stuff! The canister also separates so that the cyclone device can be knocked free of debri or even cleaned with soap and water-something that Bissell recommends doing depending on how the machine is used. This will help keep the cyclonic chambers working efficiently. Just make sure the device is very dry before using the machine again! I anticipate doing this on a monthly basis, given that my home is occupied by myself, my spouse and a Pug! Right now, though, when I just tap the tube on a hard surface, I find that the junk in there easily falls out into the disposal bag, clearing it for the next use.
Overall, I am happy with the maneuverability, suction, ease of use and maintenance of this machine. This past week, I used it with my new Bissell Pro-Heat 2x 9500 to deep clean my carpets, and the duo did an excellent job without the usual obstinacy I have experienced with past machines.
