Scrapped Bissell Products

Were there any products that Bissell was planning at one point, only for them to get scrapped before they saw the light of day? Just wondering.

Only someone inside Bissell would know the answer to that. Other than buying Sanitaire I haven't seen Bissell do anything Earth shaking in a very long time.

You know, you're right.

The Grand Rapids Public Museum has some prototype Bissell stuff in their collection.

Here's a prototype vacuum of some sort. https://www.grpmcollections.org/Detail/objects/128781#

And here's a mockup of a carpet sweeper. https://www.grpmcollections.org/Detail/objects/128694

My parents had one of those Bissell carpet sweepers. They weren't bad.
