Just got this , it was an upgrade to the Green Bissell and i like it very much , performing nicely- whole house hardwood with area rugs and it is small enough for me to lug around, more rugged, filter system so far I like allot more, they can get nasty quick the typical paper square louver style filter, they ruin the performance of machine , you have to replace often- , lets face it - hardword floors have dust and it adds up.....this filter sytem seems to be doing great, I have pets and the hair , the container capacity is much nicer, i don't have to empty as often. I have been a long time user of Bissell over the years , if i find something that works for me and has held up ....I stick with it. I ma glad i spent a little more money to get this next level up, its obvious.
