Bissell sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program. It's a good vacuum. I love that the brushroll actually spins on this model. The cord is nice a long. It has a lot more power than a similar vacuum I had that was cordless. My kids love to use it as "their" vacuum. It's not going to do a whole pet heavy household in one go, but it is good for quick cleanups and giving the kids some chores with a more appropriately sized vacuum.
