Bissell Powerlifter Super Light

[hvrvaclvr]

Bissell has a new "Upright" vacuum. It looks just like a Shark Rocket, but with built in dusting brushing.

Interesting. Looks nice! I like the colours used.

It's $99 and exclusive to Walmart. Seems like a good deal! Looks like Shark has some competition now

And Dyson also has some competition which is similarly designed :O Multifunctional machines

 

[hvrvaclvr]

Yeah, but this looks almost exactly like the Shark Rocket for $60 cheaper!That's why I didn't say about Dyson.

It looks quite good. What would worry me is the amount of hot air that comes out the top and the initial weight of the motor. I know from experience with my old mains corded Black and Decker hand held that has the similar tube set up and combi suction floor tool that its a bit of a hand roaster.

I think the owners may well get fed up in time with the top heavy weight of the motor, such is the case with a lot of these vacs on the market that also have a cord.

How many more years do home owners have to wait until a Hybrid comes onto the market with cord and cordless power built in...?

Is this the Black and Decker you're talking about? I've had it for like 12 years and have only used it a couple times. It is very loud and over heats and shuts off after using it for 5 minutes. And it's filter clogs up very quickly.

 

[sebo_fan]

Nope, its the model after that. The VH900GB. Mine doesn't shut off but it is fitted with a cyclonic chamber and separate HEPA grid filter.

Bissel's new vacuum ain't to great

The funny thing about this new bissel vacuum was it wasn't to great. Being that you can't find it for sale anymore. Bissel took it off of their website and Walmarts after like 2 weeks of it being sold

 

[hvrvaclvr]

Yeah I saw that. This looks almost exactly like the Shark Rocket, so I think that has something to do with why this has quickly disappeared. Even the YouTube video I posted is gone.

NickW - Have you ever thought about buying a Rainbow? It sounds like you've tried a lot of vacuums but never been satisfied. What could be better than a "Rainbow" for a weather geek? It has a "hurricane" motor. It uses the "power of water". You can use it to clean almost anything (no need for a bunch of vacuums for different tasks). It even looks kind of like R2D2 in case you're a Star Wars fan.

Ralph123, I have never tried a Rainbow, although I would like one. It's on the list of vacuum's that I will be getting once I am out of school and get my student loans paid off. Until then $200 is the most I will pay for a vacuum right now.

About 5 years ago I found one that was barely used for $50 at an estate sale. I wish I would've gotten it.

I was at Wal-Mart today

The Bissell was already on clearance for $88.

I was at Walmart yesterday, too. I was going to get one, because this might be like the Fantom Wildcat. It has major flaws, but is going to be rare to find. But there wasn't any.
