I've been needing a new vacuum but too lazy to do the research, so I'm very grateful that this fell into my lap. (Bissell sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program.) It has all the essential functions of a good vacuum: - It has good suction. The dust (and I have a lot of dust) is gone! - It's got a cordless option. I've never had this before except with a tiny dustbuster, and the flexibility it gives you is really nice. - Speaking of flexibility, it comes with attachments for furniture and small spaces too. I really have no complaints. Now I just need to figure out how to throw out my old (non-cordless) vacuum!
