my wife buy this vac after we Dyson dc14 stop be effective -lrb- hose crack and poor suction -rrb- . I be excite to get a try at the latest and greatest bagless technology -lrb- and not spend hundred of dollar -rrb- but be sorely disappoint . 3 area where this vacuum need improvement 1 -rrb- Quality be poor . out of the box the plastic wheel be out of round and rolling be not smooth . I can not understand why manufacturer shave a few nickel on basic element that form first impression . 2 -rrb- `` bagless '' feature be worthless . I be a big fan of bagless ... I want to open a canister , dump it in the trash , and not have to replace bag ... and I want to avoid have to get my hand dirty . the bagless feature on the Bissell be really a secondary dirt trap to the two air filter that do most of the work . the vacuum quickly loss section after clean a handful of room . the air filter need to then be disassemble , hand wash , and dry before the vacuum will perform reasonably again . a nasty , dirty job that negate the purpose of buy a bagless vac . 3 -rrb- the turbo-brush look pretty impressive ... and I be hope we carpeted step would look clean after use it , but the design almost render the brush non-functional . the device have a rotate brush\/wheel contraption that look like it would clean mightily . unfortunately , the brush\/wheel be power by the vacuum 's suction , and as soon as the brush come in contact with the carpet it stop rotate . maybe on smooth flooring or berber style carpet this would be ok but not on normal carpet . if my wife could find the receipt I would take this back in a heartbeat .
