Bissell PowerForce Turbo Bagless Upright Vacuum, 6596

We bought this for our small business. We planned on using this once per week, however, everyone loves it so much we use it 3-4 times per week. It's amazing to see what gets sucked up out of the carpet! We have brand new carpet, tile, and floor mats. This thing works well on all of our floor surfaces. Our rugs are very heavy duty, so I am not sure if the vacuum cleaner would suck a lighter duty rug up. Our cleaning person loves this vacuum cleaner so much she is going to purchase one for her home. She cleans for a living, so if she likes it, you know it's a good product. We all like how easy it is to remove the canister to dump out the dust/dirt, etc. There is no clouds of dust that we notice when emptying the canister like you hear from other vacuum cleaners (I researched every one that Wal-Mart offers for $100 or less). We like that the filters are washable. The cord is the perfect length to vacuum our entire business including offices without having to unplug and plug into more than one outlet each time. The tools attach well to the unit and they work awesome too! We still can't believe we spent less than $80 on this after sales tax and shipping & handling! Why buy a $400 vacuum when this thing works just as well if not better??? We are extremely pleased with our purchase!

I just purchased this today after my expensive Shark vacuum stopped working and it is a GREAT vacuum. The price is exceptional for the quality of the product. I vacuum regularly and when I brought this home I put it together in less than five minutes and vacuumed my whole house. It picked up so much dirt and dust from just one room that I was amazed! It is light and easy to handle and another great feature is the extra long cord! Rather than having to unplug and plug the vacuum into every room I was able to do three rooms! It is very powerful and I am very happy with it.

I've had this vacuum for over a year now. it was fine for the first two months. After that, it started becoming a real problem. It spits out dust, the hose is constantly getting clogged, along with the filter, The attachments...dont get me started! The rollwe brush attachment never worked quite right. It gets clogged, and is almost impossible to clean, it will just stop while in use and then you have to get it started with sticking your finger in it, which by the way, is sharp and cuts...overall this was a cheap vacuum that needs to be replaced almost every four to six months. We've been stuck with it because of limited means...but enough is enough!
As for pet hair...forget it. we have two cats and a dog and i have to go over a spot about two to four times before MOST of the hair is up...it NEVER GETS ALL THE PET HAIR UP!!!!

Looks great-- but the I received it-- the most important part-- the handle and the flimsy, thin plastic mounting bracket connecting the handle to the body was CHEAP and very WEAK.

It would certainly snap from even mild usage.

Junk!

I returned and purchased a Dirt Devil (about $90) which is VASTLY better made of quality parts and durable for the long haul! For $25 more than the Bissell it's WELL worth it. I love my Dirt Devil!

My Hoover Windtunnel's ($200+)motor burned up (after 4 years) and I searched reviews, and decided on this vacuum. I have always vacuumed every other day, because I do have 3 indoor cats. Needless to say, I am AMAZED!! I could not believe how much dirt and grime came out of my carpet! I had to empty the container just after 2 rooms! I never dreamed a $65 vacuum would be so awesome. Trust me, if you are in the market, you would be throwing your money away on anything more expensive!

For a low price of $65, this vaccum cleaner does a great job. I can't imagine how dirty my carpet was until i bought this vaccum and used it for the first time. we have a 2 bed apartment. the dirt container filled up quickly. it was a mixed feeling. upset because i had been living with a dirty carpet all this time and glad that this vaccum did its job just right and my money did not go to waste. i had to clean the filters and the dirt container after using it. it was an easy process. you can easily wash the filters. overall, this was a great buy and i am very happy so far.

I'm a professional Auto Detailer and just got new carpet put in. I wanted a vacuum that was lighter, just as powerful and a reasonable price.... oh, and a filter that was easy to change out. The power force turbo is a great machine for normal vacuuming and one step up from the non turbo for I think 20 bucks more. *Easy to put together *not that noisy* Easy to push and pull *Long enough cord to plug in central and reach my whole house (1230 SQ. Ft.)
I accidentally hit my towel in the bedroom and immediately snapped the rubber band drive. Don’t hit a towel! They sent me two new rubber bands with in a week. They were going to charge me I think 8 bucks and I said send it out free with a smile on ur face and I wont take it back and exchange it for another one. They did!
Band was easy to replace. Haven’t used the attachment. I rarely write reviews but thought this little "turbo" vac deserved one for the price, performance and ease of use combination. Aloha

LOVE IT! IT IS EASY TO USE AND GETS EVERYTHING UP. I WAS AMAZED AND SICK TO SEE WHAT MY OLD ONE LEFT BEHIND

I've had this vacuum for two days. It has great suction and does a great job. For the price, I am overall very happy with the purchase.

I wish I didn't have to clean out the filters so often, but I don't mind so much since I'm using it to fight a nasty flea infestation in my house... and since I don't have to buy bags.

But this vacuum works so well that I WANT to use it! How cool is that? The edge cleaning works very well and gets within 1/2" of the wall, which is then quickly cleaned up with the crevasse tool.

The machine also gets quite flat under furniture as well.

The one warning I would like to pass on is that you have to watch out for things that will wrap around the brush bar! I had a long carpet fiber that wrapped around and caused the bar to stop turning and melted through the belt before I could get it turned off... so I had to get a replacement belt the 2nd day of ownership. So maybe buy some extra belts with it, they are cheap and it is a lot more convenient than having to drive back to the store!

But I would buy another one if I needed it!
