BISSELL - Power Force Bagged #1739

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.

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

Don't get a cordless. I'd look into the Bissell 1739; it's lightweight, fairly robust for the price and is a good deep cleaner, far better than a cordless.

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

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

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