I am a vacuum collector and I own nearly 30 vacuums. My favorite vacuums are Kirby, Dyson , sanitaire, and shark. Shark is the best vacuum I could recommend for the money. Model nv352. It’s $134 at Walmart and it has so many features and will last a long time.
I just bought this vacuum today and didn't realise how small it was, put it together and had to laugh at how cute it looked but then I tried it and was shocked at how well it worked! It worked better than my full size eureka. I have 3 cats & 1 dog and it picks up fur great on the high pile rug in the livingroom. Love it! It cost $75 CAD at Walmart.
I found one on the side of the road in a free pile in the neighborhood I live in. My apartment has all bare floors & this does a good job cleaning them.
I purchased this product today and have been using it for the last hour It is lightweight, user friendly, and picked up a lot of dog hair. The canister part is small so I had to empty it quite often, but that is ok with me. I knew it was time to empty the canister when the pet hair and dust stopped spinning. Overall, I thik it is a nice vacuum for the price of 53.00 at Walmart. Just as a not, I have an expensive Dyson. This vacuum is very lightweight and easy on my 69 year old spine. I am glad I bought it. I watched your video when I got home and agree with what you said concerning it being lightweight and easy to empty. Thanks for the video. 😀
Did you know you can pop off the handle & snap it into the extension hose then add the extra tool heads to the handle...it makes the stairs & corner cleaning even easier
I recently found a Bissell power force compact model 2112R by a dumpster. I cleaned it out, but the belt is busted because brushroll is seized on it. The brushroll seized because it got jammed up with cat hair. Yeah it’s cheap and it’s light but you got to frequently clean the cat hair out of the brush roller. I might recommend this model for people in small apartments, who have no pets.
I LOVE my compact PowerForce!! I had recently bought a larger powerful One, but was experiencing trouble with my back, and decided to get a lightweight one. I LOVE THIS ONE!! It's POWERFUL & gets the job done, & it's SO much lighter & easer to move around. It's strong, easy to assemble, & I love being able to take it apart easily & wash it. I also added a fleece filter on the other side of the inner sponge filter. (there's already a white one on one end, but this one (just trace black sponge filter & cut to size) helps trap dirt, keep black filter cleaner, & I just wash it off & reuse it, with the rest of the stuff. (recommend you wash your vacuum often enough, after every or atleast every 2 uses) to keep dust & dirt from eating into parts & wearing them out earlier. It's well made, strong, durable & I bought ANOTHER as a gift for an elderly lady who LOVES hers too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AMAZING VACUUM CLEANER!!
I just bought one because my little dirt devil just doesn't have enough suction for our carpet. This apartment's carpet is pretty old so it just needs something with more power haha Your review really made me glad I got it and Bissell's also a great brand. Thank you! :)
Hi, Alyson!! I haven’t used a vacuum in years (except for the shop vac I use for my car) since we don’t have any carpet. I have been frustrated in the past with vacuum cleaners that are complicated to use. So, if I needed a vacuum then this one seems like a great option!! My cats would probably be afraid of a loud one too!! Lol they watch everything I do with such curiosity 😂
Hello! I agree that some of them are way too complicated! You are lucky that you don’t have carpet. I’m sure your cats would run from this one-my cats are not a fan lol
If you want a vacuum you should buy a Bissell pet hair eraser turbo plus I have it and it is awesome I had it for 3years!!! And you can turn the brush roll off for your hard wood floors!
I came here because I have a small apartment that needs a little cheap vacuum. Note to all. The handle doubles as part of the cleaning hose to make it longer. Great video, Thanks.
Very helpful. Thank you.... There were some "limited edition" (ooh!!!) pink ones at the Walmart up here in Vancouver Canada. Pretty noisy though. Poor kitty. Wondering the next step up or two steps up for one a little quieter....
You’re welcome. I’m glad the review was helpful for you. I wish they would have had pink ones at the store when I got mine! I’m guessing that they get a little quieter as they go up price-wise.
@@TheOptimalLife Can you believe I still have a vacuum my parents bought in the 60's !! Still works flawlessly and just fine for picking up most dry things. No hepa filter, no disposable paper bags, but we're fine. Here is a google link to one exactly like ours tinyurl.com/y32udmnb
I just found one today, at at a "leave something - take somethig shed at our recycle center, for FREE. I turned it on and it made a powerful noise. It was covered in dust, so I started taking it apart, and I found the hose at the base, the hole into the cannister and the clear circular thing inside the cannister to be completely clogged up. I found the filter completely covered in lint and dust as well. Whoever left it at the "free shed", probably though it didn't work, when it appears they never thought to clear any clogs. I cleared all the clogs & washed the filter out. I have to let the filter dry overnight, then I'll try it again. The things I love about these type vacuums are: 1. They're bagless, so there's nothing to have to keep buying. Being bagless, also makes them more environmentally friendly, as there doesn't need to be gazillions of bags from all the owners being trown out and ending up in landfills and more economical, as bags don't need to keep being purchased. 2. They're super easy to understand how to use, aka they're very user friendly. 3. The removable parts are easily washable, even the filter. 4. The versatility, of being triple use, of carpets, bare floors and non floor uses.
I had bought this vacuum for my apartment bc my dirt devil powerexpress had suction issues and the filter kept failing, I cleaned it once and it worked for 5 minutes, but then it stopped releasing suction, so I had to throw it away and get this handy Bissell Powerforce Compact from Walmart, TBH it Does work In my apartment very well, Thanks for the review Edit: The motor on my dirt Devil also kept failing while I tried to use it
Hi, thanks for the review. I have a suggestion for your cats. Put them in the bathroom and shut the door. That way the noise won't traumatize them. That's what I did with my cat. It made is easier and the cats are less afraid.
When you push down the floor release, does the hose (for the floor part) rub up against the plastic part where the brush roll is? Sorry if I didn’t word that right, but like the little bottom hose runs against the plastic when I push the pedal release.. Does yours do the same?
I honestly don’t remember. I switched vacuums awhile back so I don’t remember specifics but I don’t have any memory of that happening. Hopefully someone else can chime in!
Hi I purchased Bissell power force compact 2112 vacuum and I like 👍🏻 it an it picks up the dirt and cat 🐈 hair but my cat 🐈 doesn’t like 👍🏻 the noise thou but I got mine at Walmart on the 28th of January 2021.
Is this a Helix model? I just bought one for an emergercy and it seems to be performing well. I don't know exactly how to attach th hose all the way around, though. :) THanks!
I’m not sure if it’s a Helix, it doesn’t say on my model if it is. I’m glad it’s performing well for you! The hose is a little tricky! Thanks for watching 🙂
@@TheOptimalLife You're most welcome! Despite the hose thing, I got the thing put together and running. I don't know whether mine and your models are exactly the same, but I referred back a couple times to the video just to help me get it all together. I had a very stressful situation going on, and still do, but your video helped a lot. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing . I bought this exact vaccum earlier this year and I just decided to put together today. The only thing I did not like was the hole at the top of the handle. It's pretty strange Make you think your supposed to expect something to be in that place. Anyone else notice that ?
I thought that too, until I saw a video, and the hole, is to attach the hose to after separating it from the base, which creates a movable wand. Just put an attachment like the crevice tool on the other end, and you can do window sills, vehicle seats & floors, and other non floor places. It's really ingenious.
I just received mine today actually! I don't understand the handle Top Open Hole...I'm thinking hum.. it may have a attachment to it lol and the little hook on it idk what it is for 🤷🏽♀️ Just makes no sense it's light weight and very cute
after watching this i thought it would be of good use for me, but when i went to the store they had one on display and it was just to small for me, for a few dollars more i got the full sized version and i really like it
Hi went to get me one and found mine for 35.00, fabulous deal and it works great! I live in Mississippi and purchase mine, at a local discount store name Rose's. I always used Bissell very reliable strong brand.
Your video just helped me big time… I thought I broke mine, I pulled out the blue side of the tube so then the attachments wouldn’t fit!! I was like wth is going onnn.. Did it shrink?!?! So I go on RU-vid, find this video and alll I saw was you pull the other side out and I just facepalmed so harddd🤦🏼♀️
It can be used for carpets but the power is on the low end. It will work well for short carpeting but if yours is thicker you may want something with more power.
@@TheOptimalLife My carpets pretty thick with the finger-like projections. And the whole house except the kitchen is carpeted. Any suggestions on what vacuum to choose (
I haven’t tried enough vacuums under that price point to say for sure but I have been happy with my Hoovers over the years so if you can find a Hoover for that price I would go for that.
Unfortunately it quit working properly after my husband took it apart to clean it so I can’t give a proper long term review for it. I suspect it probably would have stopped working on its own after a year or two based on its price.
I have a Dirt Devil and that piece of junk won’t pick up hardly anything. My husband has blown out the hose many times to make sure there is nothing stuck which would affect the suction. From day one I have dispised it. It was a birthday gift from my son and daughter in law so I couldn’t return it. After watching several reviews on this Bissell I think I’m going to give it a try. My local Walmart has it for only $59.00. If I’m not loving it I can always take it back. I enjoyed your video and option on this vacuum.
I’m sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience with your Dirt Devil. Hopefully the Bissell works well for you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Let me know what you think of the Bissell. 🙂
I have three vacuums and they're all Bissells I think for your living room you should have a helix turbo pet cuz you got cats cuz mine works very good for my two dogs
I have this vacuum and it works very well I bought on august 20th 2020 and it works very well, but a year later when I put back together after clean it the brushroll wouldn't work, and then i fixed it the next month and it worked amazing on my carpets
They work good for their price, but in my opinion, bagless vacuums are unsanitary, emptying the bin and needing to clean filters every 3 uses are not my thing, I like kirby's
This vacuum sounds like a jet fighter taking off! This is just WAY too loud. WAY TOO LOUD! Save your money, spend at least $200 get one with a SEALED hepa filter system, and one that runs quiet. This is just not acceptable.
Having such a hard time with carpet......carpets should be banned, they are gross. I can like mop for free....without using electricity and creating noise pollution.
Carpet height adjustment? how where? hows it on Bare floor?.. sorry but you need more training on product usage. I say your a incomplete bad reviewer on this product.
