This is my second Bissell carpet cleaner, had the last one 11 years. They build one of the best products on the market. This is my first Bissel Vacuum, having been a Hoover owner for almost 20 years. The last hoover lasted 6 months, the replacement product they sent because it was under warranty lasted 6 months as well. So far the Bissell Vacuum is working like a champ, has great features and a great price point for what you get, for a large machine, it has great power, easy to maneuver and the attachments actually work.
