Bissell 1330 CleanView Bagless Upright Vacuum

So far this vacuum is FABULOUS!!!!!!I have been going over & over the carpet in our house with our old vacuum (also a Bissell), that broke. When we first moved into our current house & twice after that, I vacuumed & cleaned the carpet with a rented PROFESSIONAL carpet cleaner, yet there was still lots of dirt & funk in the water tank of the carpet cleaner & also in our old Bissell vacuum bagless canister. It was very apparent the carpet was not kept up very well by the previous owner.Then our old Bissell broke so I had to replace it. I wanted the same vacuum because it did a good job, had a long, cord, etc. but of course, they didn't make it anymore. So after reading many reviews I decided to purchase this one. I was a bit hesitant at 1st because of some of the reiews, but chose this one because it's bagless, has washable filters, is lighter weight than our old one, has a long cord that is NOT retractable (we had a vacuum & other appliances with retractable cords & the retracting motiong worse the cords out, so I avoid them now), & 12 amp motor.I have learned how to scan Amazon reviews for reviews written by people who have no common sense, have UNreasonable expectations (like the ones that say, "I rated it lower because I wanted it to be smaller, wider, faster, etc..." & rate the product lower because they WANTED it to be something it was NOT listed as being, those who don't know how to use said product, etc.When you read vacuum reviews & people complain that the cup fills up too quickly you know what that tells me?! THAT is the vacuum I want because GUESS WHAT?!?!? It is sucking the funk out of your carpet & doing a GOOD JOB!! So what if you have to empty the cup more times...if you would rather PAY for vacuum bags or leave the filth in your carpet, then go ahead, buy another vacuum... and stop whining that the vacuum canister fills up too quickly when it wouldn't fill up too quickly if your carpet didn't have too much dirt in it. Sorry, after reading countless vacuum reviews, it had to be said!So back to my carpet... I had vacuumed it countless times & even after cleaning it, I still felt like it was dirty, yet we could not afford new carpet ater moving in & finding the rest of the house was falling apart from not being maintained.After using THIS new vacuum I finally feel like the carpet is getting cleaner now with the canister getting less & less lint, fuzz, & dirt in it with each time I vacuum. The first 5 times I vacuumed each room over & over & over.. and the canister was at least half full each time.. in ONE room with an exposed carpet area of maybe 8'x10' max. I was literally gagging as I emptied the canister. I literally vacuumed up old dog fur from the previous owner's dog... & the dog had been gone for several years. YUCK!I prefer to empty the canister before it's completely filled up to help prevent the filters from getting clogged, so I don't want until it's overflowing... which may also be an issue some people have issues with bagles vacuums in general. They keep vacuuming away until the canister is all filled up & the dust, fur, lint, dirt, etc. gets into all of the filters, causes loss of suction, etc. The better you care for your vacuum, the better it performs & will last a long time.I have 2 concerns about this vacuum from past experience with other vacuums... I am slightly concerned the handle may break because it just doesn't feel as soild as other handles we have had & the other concern is that the plastic clasp / latch on the bottom of the dirct collection canister that holds the bottom lid closed... we had a cyclonic vacuum (Hoover) in the past with that & after a while I had to duct tape the canister closed because the latch broke. I am NOT rating the product down though because I have no idea if either of my concerns will ever be an issue or not. I also purchased the extended warranty, so we should be covered if either things become issues for us.Also, even my kids noticed that this vacuum is NOT top heavy like my old bagless Bissell, which is WONDERFUL not to have the thing topple over on you when you are on the floor using the crevice tool under the couch, etc. All of our old vacuums were top heavy so I had to prop them up when I used the hose attachment so I would accidentally pull the vacuum over on myself.The vacuum attachment works fine, but I will say I would prefer that there was a handle on the hard part of it where one inserts the crevice tool, etc. like all of my other previous vacuums. Without the handle it can be a bit awkward holding onto the hose. That said, I am not rating it down because of that because the photos did NOT depict a handle on the vacuum hose. so it was NOT falsely described. It is MY preference.Overall, if this vacuum lasts us I will be VERY happy! So far it has performed VERY well vacuuming out our vehicle, welcome mats that NO other vacuum has been able to suck the debris out of the crevices on, carpet, stairs, and it even performs better than average on hardwood & tile for those times when I don't want to run downstairs & grab a broom to clean those surfaces.GREAT vacuum!!I WOULD purchase this again!!

Bissell One pass Clean view 1330 is an amazing vacuum cleaner. The first time I ran this in my home, I had to empty the dirt tank 4 times despite its large dirt tank and that is because of the powerful suction. This powerful machine caught up all the dirt and debris so efficiently that it is truly one pass technology. My previously owned vacuum caused a dust allergy every time I vacuumed, but this vacuum doesn't let the dust escape the dirt tank; Thanks to the double filters. Worth every penny ! I absolutely love this vacuum and would highly recommend it for carpeted homes with pets. This vacuum has passed my hair test . I shed a lot of hair and my previous vacuum didn't pick much of the hair, so I scrubbed the carpet with a cleaning brush and vacuumed the floor. The Bissell cleans hair effectively with the fast spinning front brush and a crevice tool.Pros:Powerful suction for fine dustLarge Dirt tankEasy to EmptyRemoves pet hair efficientlyEasy maneuvering under furnitureGood crevice toolBudget friendlyCons:The ON Button on the side is difficult to turn ONTwo filters have to be changed every month/soThe Belts for the front brush tends to wear off in a yearHeavy - Its about 15 lbs. I don't blame it coz that's why its so powerful

When my Bissell Lift-Off bagless sweeper died in July, I looked to Amazon reviews to help me decide which new sweeper to buy. This one got very good reviews, and since I was happy with my Bissell Llift Off, I took a chance and ordered it. It was delivered within two days and I was able to assemble most of it by myself. (needed a little help from my husband because I was in a hurry to try it out and didn't want to take the time to slowly read the directions!)I was surprised by how much quieter it was compared to the old Bissell, and it weighed a lot less. That worried me a little; I was afraid it wouldn't pick up as much dirt and lint because it felt so light. Amazingly, it appears to do an even better job of cleaning my carpets; it has very powerful suction.I would have given it five stars, but I was disappointed by two features. The length of the wand is only about 12" long, so I find I have to bend over if I use it with the crevice tool to pick up crumbs on my kitchen floor. My previous Bissell sweeper had a telescoping wand that was about 16" long, but extended another 14," so the total length was almost 30." I think Bissell dropped the ball when they designed the wand for this particular sweeper. Luckily, I haven't thrown out my old Bissell, so I tried that wand on this sweeper. It fits perfectly, so I do have a workaround for that issue. I looked at the Bissell website and they still sell telescoping wands for their lift-off models, so people who haven't previously owned that kind of sweeper could probably order a wand for about $15.00.The other feature I'm a little disappointed with is the placement of the power switch. The one for my Lift-Off sweeper was located just a few inches below the handle on the front, so it was very convenient. The one on this model is on the left side, about halfway down. I had to consult the owner's manual to find it because it wasn't where I expected it to be.Neither one of these issues would be a deal-breaker for me because the sweeper is pretty powerful, easy to clean, and doesn't make my arm feel as if I've been working out at the gym. I would not hesitate to recommend it.
