BISSELL - Power Force Bagged #1739

That Bissell doesn’t have a brushroll switch - you want that turned off for hard floors. The Captura is the better buy for your flooring.

Probably the most acceptable vac in that price range for carpets is the Bissell Powerforce Bagged, around $60 at walmart. Bagged means it'll be a lot easier to maintain and last longer. Most bagless vacs in that price range have very basic and not very effective filtration systems. They tend to leak a lot of dust back out, and the dust going through the motor wears them out faster. Not to mention you have to clean the filters really often to maintain suction. The bagged bissell is simple but works a lot better than other choices at that price point. Much less filter maintainence and dust leakage.

The very cheapest vacuum capable of dealing with carpet is the Bissell Powerforce Bagged upright, it's about $60ish at walmart. Cleans carpets fairly well and uses bags. It's not great on hard floors though. If you can stretch to it, a vacmaster UB0302E would be a better choice. Higher quality filtration and the ability to shut the brush off for the tile floors. I would avoid budget cordless vacuums, they are not going to be as effective at removing fleas and eggs from the carpet. It's not worth sacrificing the performance for convinience in this case, to be blunt.

Yeah that's a really tight budget which limits your options. I'd go for either a bissell powerforce bagged from walmart if you want the most powerful and best air filtration. You do have to buy disposable bags which collect the dirt, but they are easy to find and pretty cheap. And since it uses a bag, you don't have to clean filters and it retains dust way better than bagless models in that price range. Otherwise the bissell powerforce compact is a smaller and slightly cheaper options. It's not as good and you have to clean the filter really regularly on it, but it is more compact which might appeal to you.

It does, I've owned one before. Most upright vacuums of that style do. It's brush roller is fairly substantial. It's not exactly a premium vac or a buy it for life item but they undeniably clean carpet well.

Bissell Powerforce 1739. Since it's bagged it's the same weight at the compact yet is full size. Don't get the rocket, it's junk. The bissell is lighter and cleans better. Bags are way easier to deal with especially at this price point, and it will outlast any shark. Get that, a pack of belts, and a pack of clean fairy hepa bags on Amazon. You're set for two years without needing anything and it's all still under budget. It'll also ironically feel lighter since there's no squeegee to drag on your carpet. I've recommended them for decades

I would choose the $58 Bissell power force bagged 1000x over. My old boss bought them instead of commercial shit. At first I was skeptical no way that thing could compare to $500 shit like proteam! They were so much better than literally anything I've ever used and I've been a commercial janitor for 26 years. I've used them all pro team, power flite, power max, shark, dyson, sanitaire. So many different brands and hands down I'd pick that $58 Bissell house vacuum with an extension cord every single time. It lasted over 5 years as the coal mine vacuum. It is for sure a workhorse.

No bagged. I would never use a bag less. I tried to copy a link but it was like a zillion pages long. It's Bissell power force bagged upright (full name).

I normally dump it directly in the trash can that I have outside. Normally bags dont last me a year, it I often have to change it every 2 months and it was adding up, that why I went with bagless. (bagged vacuum I was using BISSELL  1739) I change it to a hoover bagless model with an 12 amp motor and also hepa. EDIT:getting down voted by sebo marketing team maybe

I don't recommend any of the vacuums listed. The bagless Bissell vacuums filter poorly and don't last very long. The Eureka 3670M does not have a powerhead for carpets and the Intercleaner vacuums are cheap and don't deep clean carpets. I do recommend the Bissell PowerForce Bagged 1739 $58. It's a good vacuum for carpets, and you can get use Style 7 Hepa bags from Clean Obsessed and other brands to make the filtration good. Downsides are a short cord and short hose but that's par for vacuums under $100. I do recommend the Vacmaster UB0302E, this is a cheaper version of the Kenmore Intuition and it sells for $99-125. So you check it's current price. It's a better all-around vacuum because it has brushroll shutoff for hard floors. I know you didn't ask for that but it makes it more flexible if your flooring changes. If you've ever wanted a Kirby vacuum you can usually find good condition used Kirbys for $50-100. They are heavy but they last forever and they're great at cleaning carpets. Thoughts?

Bagged vacuums tend to last longer and don't have bins and filters to clean. You just change the bag when it gets full and bags usually last around 2 months each. The Bissell PowerForce Bagged #1739 is $58 at walmart. It is a basic but capable vacuum for carpets. It doesn't have brushroll shutoff so it's not good on hard floors. You can buy aftermarket hepa bags for better filtration over the standard paper bags. The Kenmore Intuition $150-180 is a small vacuum with a lot more features. It has swivel steering and liftaway mode. It has brushroll shutoff for good hard floor cleaning. It uses hepa bags and has a hepa filter for good filtration. There's a cheaper version, Vacmaster UB0302E $99, it loses liftaway mode and some tools, and it gets a shorter cord. But it's slightly lighter than the liftaway versions too. Downsides are the Intuition does not have carpet height adjustment so it's not good for ultra plush carpets or shag rugs. I think the Kenmore Intuition is worth the extra for a longer cord, more included bags and tools, but the Vacmaster is just as powerful.

Bissel Powerforce, it’s the best vacuum I own (I also have extremely pricey useless Dyson and a slightly better Samsung). Nothing cleans as well as the Bissel. It was like … 120? And it’s light, so light it feels junky but it works so well

I have a dyson stick that is many many years old. I love it and use it daily. However, it is not sufficient for carpet. It gets the little bits in between cleans, but if I do a dyson pass and follow up immediately with my cheapo bissel standup wall plug vacuum, that thing picks up sooooo much. Just an insight from someone that's not going to tell you theres only two vacuum options you should consider or else.

Don't waste money or overpay for a vacuum. By the bags, bistil upright at Walmart or online. Those things work great are easy to repair and work.Relatively good on bare floors. I think they're like sixty dollars or so.
