I’m very happy with this Bissell. I own an old Bissell, circa around 2006, and it is a bulky, heavy, clumsy beast. It’s at its end, so given my long use out of it and Bissell’s stellar reputation, I purchased this new one. I love it! It is light, powerful and one of its best features is the swivel steering which makes it great for maneuvering around tight corners and hard to reach places. I haven’t used the Quick Release Extension Wand yet nor the Pet Attachment tool (I have two cats) but my old unit did have the attachment tool so I know how handy it is. This is the perfect vacuum for my small cabin and I highly recommend it.
