These vacs are okay, but they have become the most seen "garbage vacuum" nationwide. If you go curb crawling chances are you'll find 10 of them in a month. Their sub-$50 price point makes them perfect for the disposable cup people who will just throw it away when it gets a clog or they find out that they have to actually remove the bin and empty it.
You should have no problem finding parts for it because they are very common.
What you need to do, is find it's bagged cousin. That is the best bagged vacuum and one of the only few bagged vacuums left on the market under $100 let alone under $50 that you will ever find. It is an amazing little vacuum. I bought 2 to give away as Christmas gifts many years ago and I regretted that immensely. I finally found one on ShopGoodwill for $20 last spring but it reeks of dog and it looks like someone sucked up half a spaniel into it. so it needs some work. But yeah I have no idea how Bissell did it, but for such a cheap vacuum that is also bagged, this will outclean a Shark, no question. The designer that made this model should have been promoted.
