this be one of the lowest-priced bagless upright hepa vacuum available on the market . in the 2 month since first use this vacuum , I have have be very pleased with its performance . it be very good at pick up stuff in my carpet . the only nitpick I have be that the dirt cup be small compare to other vacuum I have owned\/used , and empty it require expose the lower filter to some debris drop down into it . other than that , this Bissell be reasonably powerful , easy to use , easy to assemble , and reliable . the furniture brush work well . for the money , this vacuum be hard to beat . it be a excellent value and well worth you consideration .
