I only had this Bissell stick Vacuum a few weeks and so far so good! At first I was a little concerned with the collection canister as it is smaller than my last cordless Bissell. That concern was lifted after my first use and completed the same amount of vacuuming as before. The removeable hand held feature is a huge plus! My only criticism is the way the roller brush is removed. I do not like the small piece that holds the brush in place being removeable; I see my self loosing or breaking that small piece.
