Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum
Customer Review: best one I ever used!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this vacuum, and the truth is, I don't think it's all that heavy. It is certainly lighter than the Dirt Devil I used previously. I got lucky and found a display model, already put together but no box/manual for $150. I rolled it right out of the store and downloaded the manual from Bissell.
WOW - the suction is amazing. You've got to be careful until you get used to it, because it will suck up more than you expect it to. I have several thin decorative rugs and never had a problem with any other vac - but with this one I had to use the little turbo tool. The suction was so good the vacuume would not move on the them. And I stuck the hose down into the intestines of my dryer and I've cut half an hour off the drying time of each load (I did this all the time with my other vac - with minimal results)
It's quiet. I mean, it's still a vacuume cleaner, and still makes noise, but relatively speaking the thing is quiet. I can hear the phone ring. I can listen to the radio. My dogs don't run and hide. Love it.
Speaking of the dogs, my upholstery has a new lease on life. I'd forgotten how much I liked my couch. I have a black dog and a white dog. The furniture had a thin film of hair that you couldn't really see, but it muted the colors. The only way to remove it before this machine was to take a damp rag and go over and over with a circular motion. (Needless to say I did not do it as often as I should) Anyway, the hair is gone. The turbo tool got it right up.
Like I said, all the reviews say that this machine is heavy. It really doesn't feel all that heavy to me. I tote around bags of dog food, water softener salt, etc, and I carry 50lb boxes at work all the time, so this machine truthfully felt pretty light to me. Hey, I'm 54 years old and just over 5 feet tall, so I'm no amazon, but this vacume felt lighter than my old one, and the power is worth the weight.
Cord is super long, I can do huge areas without having to move the cord. And the hose is a good length, no problem getting to ceiling areas, or under furnishings. I like the fact that the hose is see-through. If it does ever clog then I'll be able to see it and free it.
And the best part....(drum roll, please)...Lifetime belt. Hooray. I HATE vacuume cleaner belts. Get out the screw drivers, sit on the floor, get all dusty, struggle with pulling the roller back into place, etc. etc. (or worse yet, you can't find the spare belt you are sure you remembered to purchase, so you gotta go to the store and then they're out of your size and you spend half the day running around and your floors are still dirty) I'm estatic.
When I first plugged it in I though it was broken because the beater wasn't going around. I then discovered that it only activates when the handle is down. What a plus! I can use the attachments without having to deactivate the beater, it doesn't wear holes in the carpet or chew up the cord. A real safety/ease of use feature for careless/lazy people like me.
I only have two carpeted rooms. We like hardwood. This is the best for hard floors. It actually vacuumes. Most machines just throw the stuff around. With this one the dust/dirt/debris wind up in the machine and not in the far corners of the room. I used to have to go over the entire room with hand tools. (Or, lets be honest, use a broom to sweep it into a pile then such up the pile with hand tools). Now, with this Bissell, I can really vacuume my rooms. I've saved a lot of time and work with this cleaner.
My friend bought a Dyson. I get a much better deal.
Customer Review: VERY GOOD VACUUM FOR THE MONEY
Summary: 5 Stars
This vacuum is well worth the $200 I paid for it. I lucked out on the price, I know they usually sell for more. It has terrific suction, both as an upright and with the wand and attatchments. I have used it on carpet and tile and wood flooring. Excellent pickup, with no spitting out of particles on hard surfaces. Even my Dyson has a bit of a problem with hard surfaces. It actually has suction on the sides, which so many claim to have and do not. The beater brush can be turned on and off with a switch right on the handle. To empty the canister it requires 2 hands, where the dyson only takes one. Still empties very easily once you get the hang of it. Love the lower profile, it fits under my cabinets easily. It is not as easy to maneuver as the Dyson, but close. The attatchments are all on board and work WELL. I've had no tipping and leave the hose in the bottom clip as instructed. Even my Dyson has smacked into me when using the wand, when you pull and the wheels are aligned with you it will follow you. This is a great main floor vacuum. I no longer have to lug my Dyson up and down the steps! I shudder to think of taking this one up and down. It is heavier then my other one, but seems built to last! I prefer self adjusting height, but isn't a huge deal to bend down and change the height setting manually. 5 year limited warranty is great. It is truly a fantastic vacuum. My one and only complaint is the fact that the hepa has to be changed 2x a year. Otherwise, wow.Customer Review: The Best Vacuum i've owned or tried
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best vacuum I've owned! This vacuum is replacing the Hoover wind tunnel 2 bagless; one of the worst electrical devices I've ever owned. After its self-cleaning HEPA filter clogging and quit working for the fourth time, it went in the recycling bin and I immediately went and picked up the Hoover healthy home based on the reviews I read here.
It's cleaning a second to none in its powered turbo brush actually works! Assembly is a snap and yes, emptying can be tricky, however if one removes the top it's not a problem. The little trapdoor is pretty useless unless it contains dirt and other heavy material but if it contains pet hair and carpet fibers forget about it. The brush motor is quite powerful and I really like the ability to turn the brush on and off with the push of a button. All of its onboard tools fit securely and are quite functional too.
I've read that some people have complained about its lack of suction. The extension hose must be securely inserted into its holding socket. If not, there will be no or little suction at the brush head. Also clearing any clogs in a hose is quite easy as well.
Honestly, I don't think you can get a better vacuum for the money; or for even more. I'll take this over the Dyson any day.
Customer Review: Best Vacuum Cleaner
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this vacuum cleaner as a wedding present and I love it. My husband and I have two small dogs one of which has very long thick hair which sheds a lot. When I vacuum the Bissell gets up a TON of his hair. Some people have said that they found the vacuum to be too heavy. I'm a slim girl and not particulary strong and I don't think it was hard to manage at all. I love the Hepa filter and the Microban technology as well. Plus the vacuum cleaner is not incredibly loud which is nice since we are living in an apartment and don't want to annoy our neighbors! I would highly recommend this product.Customer Review: Way to HEAVY
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this unit after reading the great reviews even though some did mention how heavy this unit was. After trying it out I realized there was no way I could push this around without damaging all of my base boards in my house. I sent it back. Thanks Amazon for your great return process.
