BISSELL PowerForce Helix, Bagless, Upright Vacuum, Pet Friendly, Scatter-Free Technology, Helix Dirt Separation System, Lightweight, 3313, Blue & Black

This is a powerful vacuum cleaner that won't break the bank! I just had to throw out the one that I just purchased at the end of December. Now a days, with the cost of repairs, time and driving to the repair shop, it wouldn't even be worth it to get it fixed! Not like it would be for a $600 Dyson. I am done with expensive vacuum cleaners! I needed something that would arrive almost immediately and Walmart , plus $4.99 got this to me in a couple of hours. This one does have an attachment tube to reach higher area's or baseboards. It has great suction to handle pet fur and vacuuming every day. Sometimes twice a day! Two things that I am really disappointed with are no headboard light and the very short cord! $80 bucks out the door and there's no excuse for this imo. However, I am pleased that this vacuum isn't as loud as the other one. It's an easy, one button touch to empty out debris straight into the garbage can. Oh, and there's no goofy innane plastic sticking out of the inside of the dust cup for pet fur to get stuck in! That's always a bonus for my hands! Anyways, I do recommend this vacuum especially, if you have pet's. I would get it on sale if you can, only because the cord is not long enough. I think this one will last awhile and I am pleased with how powerful it sucks up pet fur!

Well I have ten years of history-experience with the Bissell Vacuum ... in the past it performed as expected and then some. Plus I like the empty canister without bags. The weight and style of it is perfect for an older gal like myself. So looking for another ten years -- if I have that even in me. LOL
