I know they are worse, but the odds of me running out of bags and then not vacuuming for three months are significant. I just had a second hand Bissell Rewind die on me. It was functional if annoying. I'm hoping there are better bagless vacuums in the world, preferably under $250. I have cats and carpet, and I don't want to walk on crumbs. ETA: The things that were annoying about the Bissell were that it was heavy, the roller brush wasn't that good, and I couldn't turn the roller off. The crappy roller led to me setting it too low, which eventually caused damage to the roller, which I cannot find a replacement for anywhere online. It survived 8 years of abuse, but I'm hoping there are better options. Also edited to spell the name right.
I hear you, but if I get one more goddamn appliance that I have to think about when I'm not in my house, I'll scream. I have hand washed dishes because I was out of dishwasher detergent. The Bissel lasted me 8 years, which is acceptable to me in terms of lifespan. Its failure was because the part that needs replacing isn't sold anymore. If all bagless vacuums are equally trash, so be it. I'll close my eyes and buy the cheapest one that Good Housekeeping could be paid to recommend. If there's any reasonable difference in the category though, I'd prefer to get a somewhat better one.
Tbh I'm glad I'm not the only one that monitors my end product of vacuuming so closely. I have a Bissell pet pro with the retractable cord and it works very well and the freaking cord rewind is my favorite feature. If and when I ever replace it the cord retraction is pretty much a non-negotiable
I used to have the bissell pet purple one with retractable plug
Yes yes yes. I have a Maine Coon and a long haired daughter. Bissell Pethair Eraser Turbo. The hair doesn’t even wrap around the roller. It’s fantastic
my husband got me some type of bissell pet hair upright (corded). I looooove it. I’m not home to see the exact model. do you have a Costco membership? they have great deals on vacuums & if one craps out on you super fast, you can return it & get a new one! what type of vacuums did you have the issues with? stick vacs are ok for light cleanup between vacuums with a corded vac, but a stick will never be able to keep up with cat hair or dander. I’m always shocked when I vacuum either my expensive Dyson stick vac & then go back over the carpet with my corded bissell.
Bissel pet eraser for our "German Shedder" https://preview.redd.it/xrsz7unl3u5g1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ab49b9c1e04c9cdca5ff5e958c343729f2314fa
My husband bought- because of me - the Bisell Pet Hair Pro
We have one of these with 2 dogs. We’ve had it for 4 years and replaced the head unit 1 time bc of a broken belt. No other issue other than that
