although I do not purchase this vacuum at Amazon -lrb- same price + tax at K-Mart -rrb- this vacuum be a great value ! it be lightweight , east to maneuver , yet have tremendous suction plus the attachment that come with the vac be a extra bonus and they work ! . this be the second bagless Bissel I have purchase -lrb- I be lazy and have 2 cat , I like have a vacuum on all floor of my home : - -rrb- last year I could not find this model and settle for a DirtDevil model ud70095 . omg ! what a piece of junk !!!!! it constantly overheat and shut off after about 10 minute of vacuuming . since the DirtDevil have a 3-year warranty I plan to have it either repair or replace by the manufacture then donate to a worth cause . I also have several other Bissell device such as the Bissell Spotbot Pet Handsfree Spot and Stain Cleaner -lrb- also a 5-star vac and purchase from Amazon -rrb- and a Bissell ProHeat 2x -lrb- would love to give 5 star for the way it clean , but the machine itself difficult to clean after use , so I deduct 1 star , but this be still and excellent machine for clean carpet , especially when have 2 cat that shed like crazy ! -rrb-
