New TOL Bissell Anna 1422 Hybrid Power Bagless Upright Vacuum

.
Well well what do we have here, something new from Bissell. This combines lift-off and hyrid power (battery and cord).
I like the Bissell/Oreck (Sanitaire style) commercial vacs and their green color schemes. So i was poking around and found this. Has anyone here seen one in person yet?
I have to say it at least looks vastly more interesting than their previous bagless offerings. I will also post a new Bissell steerable, pet, mid-line, vac next which also looks promising.

Thanks Robert

Not impressed at all especially at $399.00 sorry this won't make my must have list .

Dan,

.
first, you never pay list if i understand your posts correctly. Next, hybrid power is an interesting development, especially if the battery could be removed to lighten the machine, i doubt it can be however.
Lastly, this machine, appearance wise, is a quantum leap forward for Bissell.
I've noticed Dirt Devils have been looking, in pictures at least, better than i had come to expect from the label.
And I have thought among the other lower priced plasti-vac makers, Bissell was pretty much asleep at the switch, along with Eureka; well apparently not.

You are correct Robert I NEVER pay full list price on

Anything I just don't like this machines look the side profile handle looks like an after thought its a thin piece of metal with a grip to hold up that bulky looking tank .

Lift off part looks very large and heavy will have to see it in person because pictures don't excite me as a must have . Now the 1305 is a very nice looking machine looks like they are copying HOOVER Windtunnel technology.

I think the Hybrid concept is awesome I just wish the machine looked more like the 1305 then I would jump on it when I find a cheaper price .

Yes!

The 1305 looks very much like a Hoover, not accidently i would think.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

If you can't beat the

Best copy it

I like the HOOVER Look better than the 1305 .
