<p>Hmm I must of gotten a dud because we bought one last year and it didn't pick up anything at all. I had to use my grandma's Shark to vacuum the carpet. So we took it back and got a Shark instead :)</p>

<p>I am now wanting to replace my bissell, this time I am thinking with a bagged version. The dust that comes from it when emptying the filter is just grossing me out. I don't remember this being an issue in the past. I really do like not having to deal with bags, but don't want to to be dealing with the major dust, I wonder if I am having those issues because it is just ready to be replaced, mine has to be about 4 or 5 years old too. </p>

<p>I have this one too and so far have not killed it. It is about 4 or 5 years old now. It needs emptying alot but it is easy to do and frankly with as much hair as all my animals produce any vacumn would need alot of emptying.</p>

<p>I have this vacuum as well, and after 3 years the clip that closes and secures the trap door broke. (cheap plastic part) The replacement is the entire canister at $50.00. :\ </p>
<p></p>
<p>I agree it is a great vacuum, but I don't think I want to spend $50.00 to continue fishing the corgi flurries out of the canister. Put the attachments never really worked for me, and the suction on the hose was just ok. </p>

<p>I'm thinking of a dyson. But I hear they don't do too well on plushie carpet. 50% of my condo is carpet and 50% is hardwood... I need to make a decision soon.. since the trap door doesnt shut tight, it blows whatever it picks up. Costco has two models at costco $350.00 & $450.00.</p>

I know the author of the thread already bought a vacuum, but I wanted to update to say we got a Hoover WindTunnel Rewind Plus for around $150. It has some features of more expensive vacuums at a great price. It has a retractable cord and fold-down handle, which makes it easy to store in a hall coat closet.<br />
<br />
It has excellent suction on both carpet and bare floors, and you can turn the rotating brush off to do bare floors.<br />
<br />
The hose attachments also have great suction, and it has one hose…

<br />
The hose attachments also have great suction, and it has one hose attachment with a power brush; excellent for furniture! (I must admit, though, that my Shark handheld rechargeable is much better for furniture and stairs, since it's light weight and portable).<br />
<br />
It's bagless, and the filter is washable and the manual states it should never need replacing, as long as you care for it properly.<br />
<br />
My only complaint is that the dirt cup opens with a trap door on the bottom for emptying. Sounds great in theory, but huge Corgi dust bunnies don't fall out so easily, so sometimes you need to stick your hand in there to loosen up a huge wad of fluff, even if vacuuming every few days.<br />
<br />
This thing sucks up a tremendous amount of dirt. It got good reviews from Consumer Reports. It doesn't have that blow-back that some vacuums have, which makes it excellent on bare floors. I've never had a vacuum that was any good on bare floors before, and vacuuming our entry hall a couple times a week should cut down on how often we have to clean that floor more thoroughly, which is a plus.<br />
<br />
I really love this machine, and the price was very reasonable. It gets better reviews than the Dyson at a fraction of the cost.
