my 3 year old dirtdevil vacuum cleaner give up and I head to the research room on Amazon to consider a replacement . after extensive research I zero in on this and Hoover 5507-900 . Hoover be more expensive and do not have the tool and upholstery available on this vacuum . I still have my doubt on Bissell hence I head to target to check the Vacuum myself . I be impress with what I see and I order this on Amazon . out of the box this vacuum be very easy to assemble and quite user friendly . the motor be very powerful and it clean the dirt from the carpet with ease . it also have adjustable knob for power variation and have one for bare-floor surface . the dirt container be very easy to replace and the extra dust brush with extension wand make hard to reach place very easy to clean . Whats more this vacuum work like charm on my vacuum storage bag . it remove the air out of the bag in 30 seconds flat . I would definitely recommend this vacuum cleaner who do not want to waste money on Hoover or even worst Dyson and still want to keep clean .
