Our new Bissell

[moderneezer]

Hello everyone, I haven't been active in the Vacuumland website lately, but I would like to inform you all that at my home, we have a new cleaner.

It's a bagless Bissell canister. My brother who lives with me ordered the item on Amazon and it was delivered to our home last week. We really lost trust with our Dirt Devil canister and it got tossed into the bin. My brother chose a bagless model because he wanted to save money by not having to buy bags and was concerned about the availability of compatible bags for models that require them in our neighbourhood.

So we used our new Bissell and, while we couldn't use an electric nozzle with it because of the lack of a PN port, it cleaned better than the Dirt Devil canister. The Bissell uses 1 1/4 in. accessories. One complaint about the model is that when I use it to clean carpets or bare floors, the wand sometimes detaches itself from the hose which is somewhat annoying. The Dirt Devil hose does fit with the Bissell canister and there was no detachment issue with it.

So all in all, it's better than the Dirt Devil aside from the self-disconnection problem. My brother paid about $80 (most likely in Canadian dollars) for the Bissell. We don't have a large enough income to get a decent quality product like a Miele, a Sebo or an Aerus and my brother was against my idea of getting a pre-used Electrolux canister at the Chapman boutique, but we have to accept what we have.

You should be able to find many decent used vacuums for less than $80. If the wand constantly detaches from the hose, I'd send it back to Amazon for a refund and find something else. That shouldn't happen on a new machine. Also, many vacuums have inexpensive bags that can be bought online.

Hey

If I recall I seen a test with 6 vacuums. The Bissell zing by far the lowest price came in a close second. I seen the reviews and people are pleasantly surprised by how well it performs.
If you lived closer I'd send you a vacuum for free I have about 40. If you can remedy the handle I think you will grow to love this vacuum. It's light it's got power and if you keep hose unclogged clean filters it should serve you well.

You can also try this:

Pull about an inch or so of duct tape from the roll and tear it in half length wise. Then place a strip if that on the hose pipe that you put attachments on. It should help the attachments stay on better. You have to experiment with how much or how little you use. Don't put so much on that you have trouble pulling attachments off when through.Some tape is thicker than others so again you have to see what works. Don't use clear plastic tape. This is shade tree mechanics I know but it has worked for me. Hope this helps. Billy

Can this vacuum work in bathroom?

 

[lesinutah]

I

I think it works in any room with a plug in. Idk maybe just keep it out of the bathroom. Ish could hit the fan. Pun intended.

That's enough out of you. You make constant assumptions and come across as completely ignorant in most cases. I am HAPPY to be the one to tell you that.

The POS you are referring to was custom built from brand new parts as a proof of concept and is one of a kind.

The Magnesium you are referring to was a $700 vacuum (of which I own two) - never saw the "trash" and that TriStar would whoop your ass.

There is little if any spray paint on the Kirby. I do not know where you got that idea. That is hours of polishing and applications of layers silver buffed in to the plastic with custom pieces all over.

I am not even sure what a "troll" is but for you to call me that is offensive on the highest level. Especially coming from you, TROLL.

If anyone should stop posting it is you. sir. You have little if anything to offer. I have read - or TRIED to read- your posts and you simply have no idea of what you are saying the majority of the time though you love to say whatever comes to you little mind using whatever words you know whether they make sense or not.

I have kindly avoided this until now but YOU, sir, are the one that needs a hobby. In fact, I am an artist. In fact I do have an exhibit of art. I also have over 20 years of experience in the vacuum industry which has allowed me to be creative. I have sold my vacuums before and will sell these, too!

Shut your freaking hole. Stop posting your opinions. GET A LIFE and don't believe everything you know. Go back to school. Stop hijacking people's threads. Stop drinking or smoking whatever it is you are.

There are doctors out there that can help you. GO FIND ONE - STAT.

I realize this will likely get removed and perhaps me banned but it is quite worth it for me to let you know how most of us feel about you, damn it.

Once this is gone I will make another account just to come back and post this to you and bash anything you have to say about anyone else in the future.

GO TO BED. I am serious. You are the worst of the worst. Your insecurities are written all over your posts.

I have no respect for you.


No one who knows me would ever say something like that to me. YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE.

FUCK YOU LES, FROM ALL OF US.


Sincerely, Robert

Luxkid1980, it's up to my brother to decide if we keep or get rid of our Bissell.

Lesinutah, thanks for your offer!

Kirbyklekter, thanks for your advice!

Peggydyer, I don't think our machine's made for wet spills,
