    We have one of these and it excellent! Beats dysons and the rest by a mile!

    Quoted for comedy :-)

    Bought one of these last year from a similar offer. Please, please avoid!

    We were replacing a ten-year-old vax, thought that a bagless one would keep suction going. However, the container is very small and needs emptying pretty much every time it is used. The filter gets clogged and it's a very dirty job emptying the container and cleaning the filter next to it - dust goes everywhere. The suction power drops and it was pretty much useless after six months no matter how much we cleaned the filters.

    It's very heavy, even when just using the lift-off section.

    It almost put me off buying 'bargains', and we replaced it with a miele to try to make up for just how awful this one was. The miele out-sucks this one on the second of six settings, and is probably quieter when it's on max; however we can't push it at that level because it's essentially stuck to the floor. I appreciate that the miele is 5x the cost of this one, but I felt sorry for the person we freecycled it to - it's *that* bad.

    I've had very different experiences than above. It is an excellent machine that copes with my 2 labradors hair and is easy to maintain.

    I purchased last year when they were £0 and have ordered another to have as a spare.
    Nice to save.

    Thank you for quoting me for 'comedy' :rolleyes:

    Seems that you had a bad experience which you should have taken up with Bissell. We have had ours for a while and have had dysons for years. This is better than the dyson IMO.

    For the price of this you cannot go wrong at all. As for the middle section being heavy then maybe you need to work out a little :D

    I ordered one of these a week ago today and it hasn't arrived.I have been away for week-end but there was no card in letterbox. Should I be worried or is it early days?What company delivers them?
    Cant wait for it to arrive as it is an unexpected and probably unwanted present for hubby (my long suffering carer).
