I brought this product last year and I used it twice, and then it just stopped sucking up dirt. I cleaned the filter and it got worst, now it just makes sounds like it is going to work, but it has lost all of its suction and what is a garage vac that doesn't suck up the dirt or leaves in the garage. I trusted Bissell and their products, but this one is a bust and buyer beware. I trusted the Bissell name when I brought this product, but this one was a big disappointment and has shaking my trust in Bissell and their products.
