Have used Bissell Vacuums for over 20 years having been recommended by a carpet sales person.  First one  was amazing...second only because my pup had hair all over the place...incredible...but heavy....this is is a dream to use.  The light (ecck) shows me all the hair and nothing is left behind.  Attachments are easy to use along with change from carpet to bare floors with just a flip of a switch ON TOP not the bottom. Filters are amazing where WAS that stuff hiding even on the first use.  I recommended to a friend who purchased another Bissell she was a tad upset after seeing mine.  Worth every penny...great upgrade thank you Bissell.
