I've had 1 of these sitting waiting for the float assembly to turn up some day. It's been 15 years now and over the weekend I dug out a bunch of stuff I was getting ready to strip and toss. I pulled the bug green out and left it where it was easy to get to. I decided to test it without the float just to see if it even worked. Never had time but 2 days later I see 1 at a thrift store, it looked like it had tape on the cover and I saw no extras. I kind of walked past it and saw it wasn't tape but rather the original plastic covering to protect it from rubbing in the box! I removed the cover and the hose was inside and the entire inside looked new, there also was an unopened bag that had the hose/water line clips. I had all the rest of the missing parts at home so I checked out the price (expecting to see a $30 tag) and had to look twice to be sure it was under $10! Not really sure what it's worth since it's never been used? These were probably the best in the series since Bissells best known for making a good first issue then repeatedly finding ways to cut corners till it's worthless. Then charge more too, but people still buy them. I hear people say that they got rid of their old working model figuring a new one would work better only to find that the new one is junk? Makes me wonder what they're thinking when this has been the case for everything but a few cars and select TVs.
