i guess its hit or miss with the bbx stores...ive seen some come in at less than a year old and look good but run like crap or all is weak/loose..very problematic but d.devil is by far the worst....the worst ive ever seen that come from a bbx store.
And iv seen some that look and run great at 5 yrs even....from a bbx store at that...the one d.devil exception is a featherlite.. but the only bbx ddvl ive seen thats pretty good...just my opinion tho

Bissell Healthy Home - Which? Magazine's Summary:
'This Bissell vacuum cleaner does a sterling job on carpets and laminate, but there are better models available if your house has mainly wooden floors.
It makes fast work of pet hair, though you'll need to clean hairs from the brush afterwards.
This model comes with a Hepa filter and is perfectly capable of keeping small particles in the dust container - good news for allergy sufferers. In fact, filtration of all particles is excellent with this vacuum cleaner.
The Bissell Healthy Home is bagless, so you won't have to buy replacement bags. Suction is excellent when the container is empty. Though dust pick-up decreases a little as the container fills, it still picks up more than many other models do when they're empty.
You can clean pretty close to walls and corners without having to switch to using the hose, particularly with the right hand side of the cleaner.
This 12kg vac is quite heavy, so would be difficult to carry up stairs, but the cable is long at more than 10 metres and the hose is long, too, stretching to more than 3 metres.
Energy use is reasonably low, especially given the excellent cleaning performance this vac produces on carpet, but it's a noisy beast.
Pros: excellent cleaning on carpet and laminate, excellent dust retention, quick on pet hair
Cons: Heavy, noisy, roller laborious to clean if vacuuming up hair'
