Over the years I have assembled countless vacuum cleaners, so much so that I get a knot in my stomach thinking about it! So it was a VERY pleasant surprise to discover this only used four screws ... Two to attach the handle, and two to hold the back where you coil the cord. Other than that, you simply add the attachments!A couple of weeks ago, we added a second family to our household, and we now have THREE chihuahuas and TWO cats roaming our house. I knew my small floor vacuum would never be up to the task, so I was happy to try out this vacuum through the Vine program.After assembling it, I vacuumed the hallway, a major source of pet traffic! Imagine my shock when it picked up enough pet hair in this short area to fill the cup. It also worked well picking up at litter off the bare floor. Very powerful. Because of this, it is heavier than I am used to, but it steers easily. In fact, it picked up well from the sides as well as the front, minimizing my use of the crevice tool.I popped off the cup and carried it out to the trash. It came off easily, and fully emptied into the trash, I didn't have to dig out the hair as I have had to do in earlier bagless vacuums. I just opened it over the trash, not a single problem or mess. It also popped back into place easily. It was one of the smoothest and easiest I had experienced, and it renewed my faith in bagless systems.Features I already like:The hand held brush for the furnitureThe power and brush controls on the handleThe hepa filter (I am allergic to cats, so this permits me to vacuum)The fact that everything except the hepa filter can be washed and doesn't need to be replacedHaving the belt be lifetime (I hate changing belts)Obviously it is still new, and we will have to see how it holds up over time, but I am really loving it!

This is a larger and more powerful vacuum cleaner than my other unit, the Hoover Windtunnel Air Bagless Upright. It sucks up dirt, pet hair, people hair, cereal, bugs, and various other things.Large-ish, yet versatile. It weighs almost 30 pounds, and was not meant to be a lightweight vacuum cleaner. For portability, I use the Hoover lightweight vacuum. Hooking up the hose correctly is an essential (and logical) requirement, but you have to make sure the connection is proper and solid. As mentioned by a previous reviewer, the flex hose has to be connected and seated properly for full suction.It is not as light and compact as the BISSELL FeatherWeight, which falls under a different class of portable vacuum cleaners anyway.Easy to empty. The bagless feature is a big plus. The dirt cup is easy to remove and empty. The HEPA filter is easily cleaned (by hand), so no more bags to deal with. I used it to clean the entry hallway and the runner carpet, and this vacuum did a very good job getting a lot of the dirt/hair/mess that my other vacuum cleaner used to miss.It picks up hair from our little yorkie hurricane/dog, as well as the mess by a 6 year old tornado/toddler. I used it on carpet and bare/wood floors. With proper seating of the suction hose, I found that the vacuum is quite strong. Of course, this is relative, and may not compare with a Dyson vacuum cleaner (I don not have a Dyson to directly compare).Overall the BISSELL PowerClean Vacuum is a very good vacuum cleaner, but I would not go so far as to say it is not THE BEST vacuum cleaner. For the BEST VACUUM title (and if money is not an issue) I would give it to the Miele S5981 Capricorn Canister Vacuum Cleaner. If you've used one of these before, you will know what I am talking about. However, for about 20% of the price of the Miele, the Bissell PowerClean Bagless Vacuum is a very good and cheaper alternative.

The 16N59 is a powerful bagless cyclonic action upright vacuum with 15" wide power brush. It comes in two parts that attach via four supplied screws. Assembly is quick and easy.It is equipped with an extendable hose, mini turbo brush, small brush, thin nozzle and extension tube. All the accessories fit neatly and securely onboard, and won't fall off even during vigorous cleaning. The long cord winds around two twist-release hooks in the back of the vac, a pretty standard feature with most uprights, as is the convenient headlight. The power switch and carpet brush switch are located at the top of the handle, a perfect place for them.A rotating switch on the power brush lets you adjust it for the flooring type (hard surface, various carpet heights)The first time I used the vacuum I was surprised by how much dust and cat hair it picked up from a carpet that I thought was reasonably clean; the cyclonic action canister is made of clear plastic so you can see all the dust as it comes in, which is quite fun!The combination of power brush and high power suction is fantastic, way better than any vac I ever owned before; it's definitely way better than my previous vac, an expensive top-of-the-line Hoover.This is my first bagless so I was a little concerned about the receptacle emptying process: there was really nothing to worry about, the receptacle detaches at the press of a button, and another button releases the bottom lid -- make sure you do that on top of the trash!The 16N59 is equipped with two filters, including a HEPA filter. Both are extremely easy to replace.I was a little skeptical about the turbo upholstery brush because it's "air powered", which usually results in a useless brush. Not so with this one: although it's not the most powerful brush, it's perfectly adequate for its intended function and works great on upholstery.Overall, operation is somewhat noisy, but it doesn't strike me as being unusually loud.I do have a few gripes:- although the handle is articulated and folds down, the brush and body of the vac are thick enough that vacuuming under low furniture like beds is impossible- there is no suction control, it's full power all the time. That's a problem when vacuuming small area rugs, which get sucked up into the carpet brush and jam it, even on the shag setting- the brush doesn't go all the way to the edge (but all other vacs I've seen have the same problem)- it's heavy. Not a problem when you're pushing it around, but probably not something you'd want to be carrying up and down the stairs daily.I don't think the gripes are significant enough to ding the 5 stars this otherwise excellent product deserves.Careful though: this is not the perfect vacuum for everyone. For instance, I would hate to use it on carpeted stairs. But if you have a single floor apartment or house, it will perform admirably on carpets and hard flooring. Its performance with pet hair on carpets is remarkable, and the bagless system is very convenient.Very highly recommended
Awful
2.5 a stars for a critical design flaw
Not worth the money
