Bissell Powerforce Bagged Upright Vacuum 71Y7 4.5 5 210 232
AMAZING LITTLE THING!!!!! what an amazing little vacuum!!!! my expensive, hepa filter, bagless, vacuum just blew after a year, with regular filter and canister cleaning. with the economy the way it is buying an expensive vacuum was definitely not in the cards. i searched, googled, asked and shopped around, nothing that was good and inexpensive. i could've purchased a hand vac on a stick but then that's what i've been using...for a month..to vacuum my entire house, with no benefit of a stick, lol!to sum up i have a dog, a cat that yacks, and an overly rambunctious 18-month old, and a less than neat husband at home. IT WORKS!!!!! it got up the hair, the yack, the crumbs, bits of paper, and regular traffic dirt.GET THIS VACUUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET TWO!!!! ONE FOR EACH FLOOR OF YOUR HOME!!!!as a post-note, the cons: 1- have no idea what size amperage the motor has but it managed to pull up my very crushed carpet pile, 2- the box doesn't state what type of bag you need. you'll need #/style 7, 3- the body seems flimsy when being put together, only 3 screws, but it held up to my first use, and finally 4- the on/off switch is on the side of the body not a push foot pedalif you can get beyond those little issues, holy smokes buy it while the deal is on, TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!!! 07/18/2009
love it! It's the middle of June, I have 2 cats shedding and I hate my bagless!! We picked this one up for 39 dollars and thought if it's junk, oh well it's only 39 dollars! I used it once and I love it! It's light and easy to turn and cat hair was no problem. I did the whole house wall to wall carpet with no loss of suction or spitting hair out the sides like my bagless. I wish it had a kitchen floor tool but for the price I really can't complain. As for durability I don't know yet I just got it. As for appearance It's fine. 06/12/2009
Yay!!! Boy...did I ever get to put this product to the test! I bought this after my dirt devil ultra vision bagless died after year and a half. I am broke and needed something cheap. I also DID NOT want another bagless that I had to buy filters for that actually didn’t work.My dryer broke and while I was fixing it I had a TON of backed up lint and dust everywhere. This vacuum got it all and then some. After getting everything out of the dryer, up off my workspace, and where the dryer usually sat, I then vacuumed my upstairs (which had spilled crushed cereal from my two oldest having a food fight). I also loved the fact that NOT ONCE did I have to wipe down the outside of the machine or wear a face mask. :)Get this vacuum for your home, cabin, college dorm...everywhere! It's so cheap and so good for the price. The bags and filters needed are right on the vacuum so there is no hunting for the correct one.!!I use this sometimes 4 times a day with three lively kids ages 2 to 10.I wish it had a longer hose, more tools included and longer cord...but with all three the way they are I can still love it. 09/13/2009
Cheap but great product I wanted a cheap vacuum that would also do a good job and that's exactly what I got. This vacuum has been wonderful and definitely cleans the carpet to my satisfaction. I use it every couple of days and have had it for a month. It still works very well. Hopefully it continues to do so. 07/20/2009
