If only....

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: It's good for quick cleanings I wouldn't rely on it for in depth cleaning because its incapable of picking up fine particles
Review: If only manufacturer's of bare floor cleaning products could figure out a way to ensure that the suction on the floors was strong enough to suck up the dirt!

Being a pet owner in Colorado, I'm plagued by dust and pet hair (especially...

A Waste Of Money.

Date of Review:  Sep 15, 2005
Review: I saw this on TV and thought it would be great to use in the kitchen,- especially after my 19 month old has finished eating! I ordered it on-line through Wal-Mart.com. It arrived, and I eagerly opened the box. There were no directions, so I went...

Works good wet, not dry.

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2005
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this for anyone who has a lot of hard floors and doesn't like regular mopping.
Review: I bought this because I have a variety of hard floors, new laminate to really old vinyl, and nothing I've found so far cleans them all well. I HATE mopping, so was pretty happy when this came out.

It was easy to put together, and it's easy...

Is it better than a mop? Yes, but...

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: Reduces time spent mopping tile floors
Review: ...no, your floors won't be clean enough to eat off of. The vacuum suction could be stronger, the wet vac doesn't dry your floors immediately, and it doesn't get ground-in dirt in a textured tile floor. Still, it does a good enough job. It's so easy...

I love it

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: I recommend this product highly. You know your floors are clean because you are not just pushing dirty water around like you do with regular mopping.
Review: First off, I wish epinions would name this product the "Bissell 5200 Flip It Upright Wet/Dry Vacuum" .. without "Flip it" in the title ... it's confusing.

Do not get this product confused with another one called "Flip Ease". I accidentally...

Mediocre wet or dry.

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2006
The Bottom Line: Pass on this until a rotating brush or some better way to scrub and lift ground-in dirt is added.
Review: The Bissell 5200 "Flip-It Bare Floor Cleaner" vacuum, an attempt to produce an electric broom-style wet cleaner for hard floors is, for the most part, a failure.

Simply put, this vacuum doesn't get floors clean. Certainly, it spits out a...

Good product for minimum expectations

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would recommend it if you prefer frequent but quick cleaning of the floors and not waiting a long time for the floors to dry.
Review: I have read the reviews here and decided to buy this product. Now, it is not an absolute replacement for the old mop and pail system, but it's very good for frequent mopping on high-traffic hard floor areas. For occasional thorough cleaning, use the...

Worth two times what I paid!

Date of Review:  Feb 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: Great product for the money you invest.
Review: I have to say WOOOHOOO! I can't believe I have FINALLY found something that nearly replaces the mop bucket.

I bought the Flip It after seeing it on TV. I have two dogs and an active (read: grubby) eight year old not to mention a husband...

Not worth your money

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2005
Review: The performance is so poor, I am back to good old bucket and mop. It blows dust around instead of vacuuming on dry side and leaves streaks on wet side. Drips water whenever it's left in one spot. I was so dissapointed.

Works great, so much easier than the mop and bucket!

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2005
Review: I bought the flip it a few months ago. At first I thought it was more work than it was worth, but the more I use it the more I like it. I have 3 german shepherds, 3 cats and a 1 year old baby. So it is very important that I keep my huge kitchen...
