Great Vacuum, even if you don't own a pet!
Date of Review: Jan 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a great vacuum. Did a better job than I expected it to for the price I paid for it.
I bought my Bissell a few days ago and am quite impressed. The first time I used it, I was pretty shocked with the amount of dirt it pulled out of my carpet. My previous vacuum pulled a lot of fiber strings, but this vacuum seemed like it got a deeper suction, cleaning more than the top of the carpet. Having two kids, ages 3 and 1, I felt like this pet vacuum might do some good, after all, my two kids are just as messy or messier than a dog/cat. I am very pleased with this buy. Here are some thoughts of the design.
Pros:
1. I love that it is bagless. I like to see how dirty my house is.
2. The lint remover is awesome. I had a hard time getting all my hair off of my bathroom floor, but not anymore.
3. It can get low enough to get under my coffee table, no more moving furniture to vacuum.
4. Price is great. I was tempted to buy a $300 vacuum like my mom's, but this one works better than hers for half the price!
Cons:
1. Do not plan to use it as a floor cleaner, It did not work like it said it would, it vacuums up some stuff but mostly spits the dirt across the floor.
2. The directions to put it together STINK It took my like 30min and it should have only taken a few min.
3. A little bulky, but not much more than other vacuums.
I would say it was worth the buy!
