BISSELL - Power Force Bagged #1739

The only 2 vacuums Walmart sells *in store* that are worth while is the Mighty Mite and the Bissell 1739

A $60 bagless vacuum is going to be in the trash before the new year. Grab a Bissell 1739 from Walmart if you can stomach having a bag (they only get emptied every few months and aren’t that expensive!)

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.

I second the Bissell 1739. It's a solid machine for the money. It's currently $58 at Walmart.

Once you have an extra $20, order you some HEPA bags for it here: [https://a.co/d/f3h2VQo](https://a.co/d/f3h2VQo)

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.

I’d recommend the Sanitaire SL4110A or Bissell Big Green PowerForce. For the price they’re great machines that really can last forever, parts are widely available and very easy to service. You can go on Amazon and get a 20 pack of Clean Fairy HEPA backs for under $20. I would definitely stay away from any direct air machines like Sanitaire and Oreck, this way you won’t have to worry about fans getting destroyed and you won’t have the option for attachment use. I hate to say it but I personally think direct air machines are not for commercial use especially in 2024 going in to 2025.

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've been using my Bissell upright from Walmart that takes style 7 bags for 20 years. I've replaced the belts. It is a beast.

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

Tbh the only vacuum I would buy is the bissell power force bagged

Cordless vacuums under $75 are so cheaply made and weak performing that they're a waste of money and will likely break in less than 12 months. There are no brand new vacuums under $75 that work well on carpet and tile, so I'd suggest a vacuum that works well on carpets because you can sweep tile but you can't sweep carpets. If you must choose from Walmart the [Bissell Power Force Bagged #1739](https://www.walmart.com/ip/BISSELL-Power-Force-Bagged-Upright-Vacuum-1739/104757366?classType=VARIANT&from=/search) $58 can do carpets and you can use hepa bags in it. The [Hoover MaxLife PowerDrive UH75110](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Hoover-MAXLife-PowerDrive-Elite-High-Performance-Swivel-XL-Bagless-Upright-Vacuum-Cleaner-with-HEPA-Media-Filtration-UH75110-New/474687423?classType=REGULAR&from=/search) $88 will be good for carpets, it has a hepa filter, and it has a brush on the bottom so it doesn't fling stuff back on hard floors. On Amazon this [Vacmaster UB0302E](https://www.amazon.com/Vacmaster-UB0302E-Lightweight-Filtration-Headlight/dp/B0CWGGJY1R/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2R80432E7HWR8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Y_iLJvtvRGFhR9uayMTmYvV1MBb-ZWHdNX6qsp5OzgtiivvjEQs78oGFLR8DITl8W0HTX8ebe5yVudxj2KwxbNU09L5b_fcGMWjOw61Qn4mcS-Tf4a-7rbpulh2LilOIArYDens7DtuzSTdmFAvo20qNvLuPa_htXawG2cpxhhEccUmm5gC9nJRQUmkvJTnvw6krLwEtIbJahiZkZQ9zFfQakIH7MLtAxNQjJxVz9Is.9l7gxfCrhj7HGv7byeWZKziVBMBnnprP81yPz_Z7kG0&dib_tag=se&keywords=vacmaster%2Bupright%2Bvacuum%2Bcleaner&qid=1731719158&sprefix=vacmaster%2Bupright%2B%2Caps%2C207&sr=8-4&ufe=INHOUSE_INSTALLMENTS%3AUS_IHI_3M_HARDLINES_AUTOMATED&th=1) $89 is a cheaper version of the Kenmore Intuition. The Vacmaster version does not have a liftaway mode but it has brushroll shutoff for hard floors. It's a small upright vacuum with hepa bags. Also shop all of the versions of the Kenmore Intuition as some models should go on sale for Black Friday. There are a lot more options used.

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?

I would get the bissell powerforce. It's a bagged upright hat's pretty decent and very inexpensive. I think it's 58 dollars at walmart. 

I bought a Miele Complete C3 in store on black Friday for $450 CAD included a 8 pack maintenance bag and filters. Was originally going to get the E1 Kombi for $449, but the salesman pushed me towards the Miele saying it was a better deal and better for people with allergies. Vacuumed whole house, and it is amazing. Had a Bissel PowerForce for over 10 years that finally started to lose suction and was leaving a lot behind. The Miele does almost as good as a canister my parents had from the 80s that was built like a tank, but is pretty much whisper quite by comparison. That thing lasted 30 years. I have zero carpets and a single rug. So didn't need a power head.

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.
