Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum
Customer Review: This vacuum sucks!
Summary: 2 Stars
The only good thing about this vacuum is it's amazing suction power. It really does suck!
Edge cleaning is non-exisitent. The wand accessory can only pick up small dust bunnies. Anything else overpowers it and you can get hurt when it does a kick back.
It is also very top heavy and often falls over. Be careful of your toes and any other body parts that get in the way.
Cannot handle dog hair and gets clogged.
The canister is diffucult to empty. Be sure to take it outside
to empty it or you will have a huge mess to vacuum up again.
We bought this vacuum instead of the Dyson because of price and the good reviews we read. Don't make the same mistake we did!
Customer Review: Boy does this baby SUCK!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this vacuum for just over a month now. We had a Hoover Wind Tunnel before and it didn't even last a year before breaking. We have 3 cats and I thought it did a good job but it was horrendous compared to what was picked up by the Healthy Home when we started it up. The carpet looked so much fresher after being vacuumed once and you wouldn't believe it after another run or 2. There are still spots that need to be shampooed but I wouldn't trade this vacuum for any other. It picks up cat hair like I haven't ever seen a vacuum do before and it even gets the litter up with no issues.
It's a hefty vacuum but I think that's part of why it does such a good job. Also, it's not as easy to empty the cartridge as one would think after trying it out in the store. Pet hair has a tendency to gather at the bottom and it needs some help coming out but it's not that bad. The on/off button is easy to hit while it's running but none of these cons are enough for me to give it less than a 5 star rating. This vacuum is AWESOME. Period.
Customer Review: Can't carry this filthy machine
Summary: 1 Stars
Right off the bat, there's no carrying handle for this machine. Are you supposed to lift the whole thing by the dirt canister? I can just see the plastic parts breaking off.
Next, it just doesn't suck. The suction is weak, and the brush is difficult to clean and remove wound on fibers (pet hair, etc). Do NOT use this if you've just replaced your carpet - all those fibers will completely clong the brush.
Last, the canister has to be removed and taken apart to get pet hair out - the open the bottom you see in the commercials drops the dirt, but not the hair. Even then, you end up with dirt on the outside of the canister - kind of pointless.
Do NOT buy this product.

Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum
Wow does this vacuum do a good job. Rather embarrasing to think of all the dirt that was in my carpet. Wow is this thing heavy. I would definitely not recommend it for women. You can test in in the store but doubtful you'll be able to test it on carpet where the weight really is noticable. The cannister is poorly designed and pops off regularly. Easy enough to snap back on but rather annoying. The turbo brush pops off regularly as well - just a poor design. The turbo brush is excellent for stairs - shame the vacuum is so heavy to lug on the stairs. The extension cord is nice and long. I guess the weight is the price for the impressive power and results. Make sure the place you buy it has a good return policy just in case it's not for you. Overall recommended but be aware of the flaws.
Customer Review: Avoid this vacuum!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had this vacuum for less than a year and it has not been a good vacuum. The first issue I had was that the handle does not stay together tight enough so often the machine shuts off. When I called bissell they said it was a common problem I just had to hold the handle together as I vacuumed to maintain the connection. Ridiculous solution! Now after less than a year when it does turn on the suction is terrible. I hate that I spent so much money on such a poor quality appliance!
