Everything about the Bissell Ready Clean Cordless Stick Vac is wonderful ....no...it's magnificent! I have utilized this machine previously, and now have TWO that are conveniently utilized throughout the home. I have extra filters which are swapped out after every use. It is not only powerful but it's lightweight and a joy to use. Thank you Bissell for offering such a wonderful product to the public. Finally, a company (LIKE BISSELL) that REALLY cares!!
