Bissell 5200 Upright Wet/Dry Vacuum

Pros: Cleans laminate quickly and efficiently and leaves a nice fresh scent.

Cons: I have to switch cleaning solution from laminate to tile.

The Bottom Line: Buy a Bissell Flip It immediately if you have lots of hard flooring. It will cut cleaning time and give you better results than the traditional method of cleaning floors.

Review: In November my husband and I bought our first house. The entire house has laminate flooring except for the two bathrooms that both have tile. Sweeping and mopping with a regular broom and mop was becoming quiet a chore. My sister who has four...

Pros: Wet cleaning really impressive.

Cons: vacuum a bit weak.

Review: The vacuum side isn't the best in the world, but it's handy for getting rid of any dust before cleaning the floor.
The wet cleaner is absolutely fantastic. I have laminate floor over the whole downstairs of my house. Ever since it was fitted...

Pros: lightweight, easy to use

Cons: small tank, dumping debris often

The Bottom Line: I recommend this for anyone who hates mopping all the time. Really good for daily clean ups.

Review: I was looking for a lightweight alternative to my giant Hoover Steam cleaner that I was using on my kitchen floors. It did a great job but the thing was so heavy to lug around and it was cumbersome to switch the cleaning solutions and it didn't get...

Pros: Easy of assembly, storage, weight of unit

Cons: Price, streaks, height, small collection container, small solution container

The Bottom Line: It would depend on what you wanted to use it for. Trying to clean with it, then no! Taking up storage space, then yes!

Review: I bought this unit as an intermediate solution for cleaning the floors in my house. I have a Dyson DC15 Animal for dry vacuuming and a Hoover Agility for serious, hard floor cleaning. I thought that this little baby would be good for the bathroom...

Pros: Small, lightweight, more sanitary than a mop, great for liquid spills

Cons: Dry and wet debris stored together which can be gross for cleaning the reservoir

Review: I like this product. It s better than the dirt devil brand. I love the size for storage and it s easy to push and maneuver. It comes with a cleaning brush or a cleaning pad, which are interchangeable and can be removed for drying. The only thing I...

Pros: Cost, effectiveness, convenience

Cons: Noisy, longterm-durability concerns

The Bottom Line: If you want to be certain of the cleanliness of ones hardfloors and one wants a unit that is quick, easy, efficient, and reasonably affordable, then buy one.

Review: I purchased a Bissell Flip-It model 5200 about two months ago. I am pleased with this purchase overall. However, it does have a few weaknesses. First, the positive aspects. I find the unit works reasonably well with dry mode although the suction...

Pros: Very easy to set up. Easily flips from wet to dry. Small and compact.

Cons: Good for nothing. Would never buy the combo unit again.

Review: I have had the Bissell for over a year now and still wish I would have returned it when I had the chance. I just kept thinking that it would somehow get better. The vacuum side of it doesn't work at all. I dont know about blowing the dirt like...

Pros: Easy to use, pads are washable..no need to keep buying more! cleans great!

Cons: I haven't found any yet!

The Bottom Line: I suggest you go buy this right now! You won't be sorry.

Review: I've been looking for a product to clean my hardwood floor. It drove me nuts everytime I would walk on the main level to see the footprints on the hardwood. I wanted something I could use daily, that wasn't a pain to use, and didn't take much time...

Pros: Looks impressive

Cons: Doesn't have good suction, "Wet" feature does not work

The Bottom Line: Bad Purchase

Review: I bought this product after installing Pergo flooring in my laundry room, hardwood flooring in my dining room and ceramic tile in my kitchen. It looked so impressive on the commercial (don't they always) and my sister (who cleans obsessively) wanted...

Pros: HI-TECH LOOKING

Cons: POOR QUALITY, SHORT SERVICE LIFE, UNDEPENDABLE

Review: I bought this thing unopened in a garage sale. It was new and received as an unwanted gift. My wife has been lusting after one since she saw the commercials. I paid $20 and am glad I didn't spend more. She was thrilled the first 2 times she used it...
