Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a vacuum cleaner guru and 'snob'. I've owned about 20 different 'bagless' models in the past 15 years, and am always happy to review the great ones, in order to 'get the word out'. If you want an excellent, everyday bagless vac without breaking the bank, this is it! This 'CleanView OnePass' model has excellent suction (you can feel the suction) and edge pickup abilities, carpet and hard floor performance, and is not as loud as other vacs. The dirt bin is a good size that holds a lot of dirt, and it is easy to empty and snap back onto the machine. I use 2 main vacs in my house, which are my current favorites. The Bissell and my Shark 'Navigator NV22L'. I've had my Shark almost 2 years now, but the hose that connects into the sweeper base cracked, and I cannot find a replacement, so I used duct tape to seal it as best I can. I was going to purchase yet another Shark, but I don't like the somewhat narrow path compared to the wider Bissell, and i'm afraid the hose will crack again prematurely. It takes me much less time to vacuum with the Bissell. Also, the Bissell has manual height adjustment settings, which is always a good feature. The Bissell also cost half of what the Shark Navigator does. In summation, you cannot do better for about 70 dollars! 4.5 stars. 5/23/13 update: It is now one day after I wrote this review, and I wanted to tell everyone about a simple mod (modification) I did to this vac to make it perform even better! There is always a bit of leakage in vacuum hose assemblies that robs a vac of some of it's suction, so I applied some white 'DAP Alex Plus Easy Caulk' around the hose where the flexible part meets the connectors to completely seal the slight gap that exists. I gave it a day to dry and cure, and I noticed an increase in suction power! What was once an already excellent vac, with excellent suction, is now a MONSTER! I would not be surprised if suction increased on the order of 10 to 20 percent! 3/28/15 update: I am still using this vac as my main daily unit! I vac at least every other day, and this Bissell has served me well. I usually completely hose down and clean out the filters outside (and let them sun dry) about 3 times a year (spring, summer, fall), and the unit's suction has remained strong. My ONLY complaint at this point, is that for some reason, I am now getting a musty smell when I vacuum, as if the unit is leaking particles into the air (NOT good)! All hoses, filters, etc. seem intact, so I don't know how or why this smell has appeared. Considering the low cost of this great vac, and that i've had it a while now, I just may go buy the current version of it, and hope it is at least as good as this model.
