Bissell PowerForce Turbo Bagless Upright Vacuum, Model 6585 4.2 5 1004 1129
Very good for households with pets! I have 10 cats in my household, all with very thick coats that are constantly shedding, so a good vacuum cleaner is a must. Over the past few years, I've had good ones and I've had not-so-good ones. This vacuum goes beyond good. It is excellent!!My husband and I put it together and ran it as soon as we got it home. We are thoroughly impressed! Our rug is 10 times brighter and much softer. I'd forgotten what it looked like new. This vacuum got up a large portion of the cat hair and dirt in the first use. After emptying the filter, we ran it again and got out the rest of the cat hair and dirt (it was all packed into that poor rug)This vacuum is easy to assemble, easy to use and easy to clean. It gets the job done and then some. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially a person with a lot of cat and/or dog friends. 02/18/2008
Toddler-tough! I have used this vacuum to pick up cat litter, fabric scraps, sticky rice, thread, and other stuff that ends up on the floor in the house of a seamstress, toddler, cat, and messy husband! It sucks it all up, plus lots of dust and other stuff I've never seen come up from the carpet before with our old vacuum (an old hand-me-down). We weren't use to such a powerful vacuum and it has accidentally sucked up some stuff we didn't mean for it to (luckily, you can search for little legos in the dirt container). The best part is that you can put the filter in the dishwasher (not the HEPA filter, the regular vacuum filter). We haven't done that yet, but the lady we talked to at Wal-Mart (another customer who was coming to get a second powerforce) said she had been very satisfied with its performance. Oh, and my toddler had knocked it over and stood and jumped on it and it doesn't break. Nice! 03/10/2010
I Just Love My Vacuum Cleaner! This is the best overall vacuum cleaner Ive ever owned. I received it as a Christmas gift in 2007 from my mother in-law. (My vacuum was old but still worked well... or so i thought!) The first time I used it on my carpets I was shocked. The canister was full of dust and dirt particles! I had to empty the canister after vacuuming each room. I couldn't believe how much it picked up or how much my old one didn't! Not only does it pick up everything, but the attachments are amazing. The upholstery attachment has let me down yet. If you have dogs or cats your going to love it!Another great feature this thing has is everything is hand washable! From the canister to filters that come with it. Don't pass up this vacuum... you will not be disappointed! 03/09/2009
