By Kara I needed a good working, and affordable vac to clean up my small college dorm room's carpet (It's not a very plush carpet). This vac surprised me! So far it's been working out fantastic! The long handle is detachable and so is the top head so you can convert it into the familiar dust buster. It's small enough to store under a bed in a dorm room. It has a pointed wand attachment too. This certainly isn't something you would want to use as a main vac for a house, but it's great for the dorm. The cord length seems to work great for my 16'x12' dorm room--so it does NOT operate as a cordless, so no worries about the battery dying out on you. It's bagless so the canister has to be emptied... which brings me to my only complaint about it... everything seems to get stuck to the filter... hair, dust and dirt... so it's not just a matter of emptying the canister. You have to pick everything off the filter, and it has a tendency to get inverted so you have to pull it out to clean it good. So my suggestion is to clean it over an open trash can... and for the dust you just can't seem to pick off, use a lint roller on the filter and it seems to clean it up well. (which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5) Otherwise, great vac for the price paid (Approximately $20 at Wal-mart). 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. EXCELLENT!!! By Jane K. I purchased this product at a local store for $20. I have all hardwood floors, 3 dogs, an African Grey Parrot, and will tell you this product does a great job! Before, I would use a dust mop in between regular vacuuming and this cuts the time in half, yes half! When done, you just empty the cup, wipe it out, clean the filter put it away.

Taylor I was researching stick vacuums for my parents who have a multi-level home with a mix of carpet, linoleum and hardwood floors. The main vacuum, also a Bissell Bissell 82H1 Cleanview Helix Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner (which has been fantastic by the way)is a bit too large to pull out for spot cleans. I initially had purchased a Shark cordless, but I only got a few minutes out of it before the suction power (from the Ni-Cd battery) pooped out. It was also cumbersome to switch to a hand vac. The Feather weight is a wonderful replacement. After the battery debacle, I knew I wanted a corded vac. This Bissell has a fairly generously sized cord so I can move around nearly the whole kitchen on one outlet. The detachable handle is tall enough for me (I'm about six feet even), and the cord wraps around the molded hooks nicely when not in use. The floor attachment does NOT swivel, but that's not really a huge issue in terms of usage - the vac is so lightweight it's inherently maneuverable. The floor attachment has no 'beater bar' to send debris flying. On hard surfaces this is great because the suction alone is more than ample to pick up even old, nasty Cheerios. Performance of thick carpet is fairly limited though... The floor attachment does not 'lock' onto the vacuum body, which I was at first concerned about. However, the fit is excellent and snug so I can push and pull the vac across the floor with out it coming apart. Using the vacuum as a 'dustbuster' (without the handle or floor attachment) is great as well - the nozzle is wide enough to get debris on stairs and what not, and the included edge cleaner is great for getting stuff out of hard-to-reach areas. Cleaning is a snap - the filter is washable, and the bagless dirt trap keeps everything contained well. To clean the filter, I like to flick it gently from the inside to avoid touching the junk that's picked up off the floor. In fact that's really the only major downside to this cleaner - there may be more physical contact with the picked up debris
