Bissell sent me the PowerLifter Ion Pet 2-in-1 Cordless Vacuum for free so that I could review it. Right out of the box, it is so simple to assemble, with no tools necessary. It is very lightweight but does have pretty decent suction. I've got an old rug that is a little frayed on one end so it's got a couple of long threads (about 4-5 inches) when I went over them the vacuum automatically turned itself off but once I moved away from the frayed edge it turned right back on. Emptying the canister is a breeze as well as clearing the hair off the brush roll. The attachments are easy to insert and work well. My one complaint is that it takes hours to recharge the battery to only be able to use it for 15 minutes.
