  • Powerful vacuum
The media could not be loaded. Love this vacuum. I ordered it for one of the apartment buildings that I manage. The only vacuum I use is Bissel and found out this is made by Bissel. Very pleased with the cord length and suction as I get a lot of salt, sand and pet hair on the carpets coming into the building, this vacuum handles it with no problem. I am planning on ordering more to have on hand at the other buildings I oversee. You cannot go wrong with this vacuum. ... show more

  • Best vacuum I’ve ever had
Does a superb job, way better than cheaper models. And the price is not overboard. Quality product, and does a great job picking up dog hair from out two Shelties!

  • Very cheaply made and breaks quickly.
Vacuum worked well for 4 months but it broke due to cheap prices. The handle on top is only held on by a sticky peice on the inside. Once the adhesive comes loose, you cannot reconnect the handle, which is a pretty important part. For the price and quality, I would not recommend getting this vacuum.

  • So So - Could use some improvements
I run a dog training business so I vacuum every day and there is tons of dog hair. This vacuum works ok. It is super light and eash to push and I LOVE the long cord! I can almost do the whole training area on a single plug! It does pick up the hair, but I don't like the automatic rug to smooth floor function. It seems like there is a lot more suction when I am running it on the carpet runners. And if you turn off the automatic function, then the roller stops spinning and for my situation, it just doesn't work. I also wish the suction was overall stronger. Lastly, I am not sure where the exhaust vents are, but when I am vacuuming up dog hair on the smooth floor, it actually blows the hair into the area I just vacuumed, so I have to redo the section of floor I already did. ... show more

  • Exceptional!
Normally I do not give reviews, but I feel that everyone should know about this product. I clean houses for a living. Every day and most weekends I use a vacuum. I have been through 7 in the last two years. All of them were complete nightmares that couldn't hold up for more than a few months... some did not even last a week. This vacuum is by far the best I have ever purchased. I finally buckled down, did extensive research and here I am. It might be too early to tell, but so far: I love it's light weight, meneuverability, long cord, extension tools, suction and low noise volume. It has held up with every job that I do for 7 hours, everyday. I would absolutely recommend this vacuum. I will give an update after a few more months, but so far, I am more impressed than I ever have been with any other vacuum I have ever purchased. ... show more

  • Commercial vacuum at Residential cost
I purchased this for my wife, who has her own cleaning company. She absolutely loves it. It's sturdy, smooth, powerful, and the best part for her is that it's bagless. It has plenty of suction power, as you can watch hair on hard floors get pulled into the vacuum with the bright led lights. The easily removable handle doubles as a wand so you can attach your clevis tool to get down into hard to reach areas. For a commercial grade vacuum the price can't be beat. It's pretty quiet, and the overall design looks great and is user friendly. I will be purchasing more as we need them. ... show more

  • Pass on this- there are better more affordable options
Oh I wanted to love this but I didn’t even turn it on after seeing how difficult it would be to clean to the roller brush out and clean the top part of the canister and it felt very plasticky and cheap. As a professional cleaner I can’t take nasty looking vacuums into my clients homes. I’m tired of Sharks hoses splitting on me (I go through 1 vacuum a year or less and that adds when they are 300+.) I wish I could’ve tried the longer cord length. No way to vacuum carpeted stairs. Was shipped without any styrofoam or any protection other than a thin box- that’s a pass for me. The search continues for the holy grail of vacuums. For this price point there are plenty of other models much cheaper with the same inconveniences. ... show more

  • Good vacuum cleaner
Suction power has been great, awesome power, good value. I've been using this vacuum a couple months so far and I really like it.
