ok - I do not know why people give this a good review b\/c it be a piece of junk ! I have have it for 6 week and be away for 2 of those week and it be already break !! I be able to have it repair but the repair guy cut I a deal b\/c apparently the broken part be not even part of the warranty . convenient for Bissell . yeah , we give you a warranty but bummer for you if it actually break . not only that , but when I call customer service to let they know about the broken vacuum cleaner , they be totally rude . I mean , you would think that they would be apologetic that they product break so quickly . also , clean the filter be very difficult and have to be do every 5 minute . this vacuum cleaner do not suck enough !
