Here is the not so common model of the Bissell lift off series. I got think brand new for Christmas of last year from a vacuum store in Nevada. It’s probably one of if not the only good Bissell ever made. The suction and airflow is very good for a bypass machine. The agitation surprised me for having a separate motor for the brushroll. The automatic height adjustment does what it says it does. The wheels are thin, so they go deep in the carpet and adjust from there. It’s not like some of the other vacuums that just only go on the lowest setting. The filtration is not only really good, but it’s a sealed system. The prongs that turn on and off the power nozzle never went bad as what most people say. It happened a lot on the bagless model, but from what I’ve seen the canister can either not be properly seated on the base without double checking. With the bagged model you never have to worry about that. The attachments you get work very well. The dusting brush is actually soft. The upholstery tool is not as good as the Hoover’s, but it seems to do its job just fine. The crevice tool is very long, and I think Hoover might of gotten the inspiration to make a long crevice tool on the windtunnels. The 2 extension wands also help with reaching high areas. The build quality is actually good since it’s made in the Unites States. If you ever find one of these, don’t skip on it. These weren’t made for that long. They were only in production from 1998-2003. The parts you can find on eBay from the same seller I brought it from.
