3.0 out of 5 starsDecent vacuum
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2023
Former Bissell finally broke after 7 years. It was such a good vacuum I only looked at the Bissell brand to replace it. This vacuum feels very cheap and plasticky. There is a little bit of play in the handle, which does not inspire confidence. It is very loud. You will definitely use your arm a lot to push this thing around the room, it doesn’t really glide which is weird considering it is essentially the same weight as my old one but it certainly doesn’t feel the same while vacuuming. I like the on/off foot button instead of a switch on the side. The accessories seem fairly securely placed, one of them used to fall off my old one all the time. I like that everything is labeled on this one so I can easily remember how to do basic things without looking it up or bumbling through. My main complaint is that this one doesn’t lie completely flat, I used to store my old one under a bed, and this one fits only if I get creative and shove it. It does do a good job cleaning though with adequate suction. The price went up 40% in 7 years for more or less the same (working) model and despite inflation, I don’t see an increased improvement. I don’t love this one like my last one and will look for a new brand once it dies.
