I have an airbnb which has to be cleaned to the nth degree after guests leave. As my place is pet friendly and my guests w/ or w/o pets are so kind and nice and appreciative of what I have to offer, I don't want to falter when it comes to cleanliness. I have always had Bissell vacuums and bought them for my kids as they moved out on their own (yay for that!). I was also given another brand as a gift, but I always return to Bissell. Pet hair gone, chore done....guests and me happy!
