Thanks Bissell for making quality products. I am very pleased with the power and flexibility of this vacuum. Having a 30 foot rewind is fantastic, that plus how easy it is to clean the filter and the canister makes this vacuum the best one I have ever owned. Best of all was the price, really a very good buy especially for someone with two dogs! I bought the vacuum at the same time I bought a floor cleaner which does an excellent job and is a breeze to operate . Believe it or not, I can actually say that I enjoy cleaning house!
