Bissell Cordless Multi-Surface Wet Dry Vacuum Recall

[niclonnic]

I just heard about this on the news. Yesterday, Bissell recalled certain models of this cordless (CrossWave) vacuum due to defective batteries that can overheat and smoke. I figured that this would be worth a post in the interest of safety for anyone who owns one of these machines.

It looks like somebody tried to cheap out on the charging circuit for the battery pack and it couldn't handle the load.


" schedule a free in-home repair visit from an authorized BISSELL service technician to replace the existing battery pack. "

I never knew Bissell did that. I know they have maintenance trucks for the Big Green rentals but never knew they did that for residential users.

Also I wish we knew how many vacuums were produced for every vacuum without having a recall tell us. Would be a lot easier to judge rarity of a particular model.

No surprise.

This isn't the first time that Bissell had to recall their vacuums to to fire hazards, way back in 2000, Bissell had to recall their now-forgotten PureAir vacuums due to faulty cords.

Was their ever any further updates to this recall?


Also another Bissell cordless vacuum recall occurred recently, this time for the Multi Reach cordless stick vac models.
