How much should a good vacuum cleaner cost? If you have a certain budget for your next vacuum cleaner, by doing research you should be able to find a machine that will work for you.

The Bissell PowerForce Turbo Bagless Upright Vacuum costs just less than $300, so it is pretty expensive for a regular vacuum cleaner.

Is it going to be worth it?

Bissell PowerForce Turbo Bagless Upright Vacuum Specifications:

  • Type of Vacuum: Upright
  • Power: 1440 Watts
  • Filter: 3 Stage with HEPA filtration
  • Dust Collection: Easy empty dirt cup
  • Attachments: On-board deluxe stretch hose, upholstery/dusting brush, crevice tool and extension wand
  • Warranty: One year warranty

The one thing that is great about the Bissell 6596 PowerForce Turbo  is that it has a great filtration system.   There are three different filters in this machine (2 of which are washable), so you won’t have to worry about a lot of dust and dirt coming back out of the machine. Here is what one reviewer had to say about the filter system and how it worked for her.

“It has three filtration methods which is good for me because I have asthma.”

With over 1400 watts of power and five different carpet settings, you are going to be able to get up the deepest of dirt. Right out of the box, you are going to get great suction and probably end up vacuuming up cup fulls of dirt, hair and dust.

The attachments are going to work well, and it even comes with a Turbo Brush, making cleaning up small messes easier than ever. The attachments are stored on the machine itself, making it easy to use them, but more difficult to move the vacuum cleaner up and down stairs.

There are a lot of bad things about this machine. The first is the price. For a $300 vacuum cleaner, you would expect a lot more. With only a one year warranty, there isn’t much protection for you, either.

The second thing that a lot of Amazon.com users report is that the PowerForce tends to lose power very quickly and gets all clogged up. The filters are washable, but washing vacuum filters is dirty work and something that you probably don’t ever want to do, let alone every time that you vacuum. Here is what one Amazon.com reviewer said about the machine.

“It worked for a period of about 5 months and despite cleaning the filters on a regular basis it became hopelessly clogged.”

Does The PowerForce Have The Power To Persuade You?

For the price, this is not going to be a machine that you want. If it were a third of the price, the Bissell PowerForce Turbo Bagless Upright Vacuum would still be expensive for the durability issues that it faces.

Bissell Lift Off Revolution 37604 Bagless Vacuum Review

 Pet owners know that cleaning up after pets that have fur is going to feel like a full-time job if you don’t have the right machine to help you out.

One of the most important products to clean up after your pet is going to be a vacuum cleaner.  The Bissell 37604 Lift-Off Revolution Pet Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner is designed to pick up pet hair, kitty litter and all of the other dirt and dust that your four legged friend tracks in.  You may be wondering whether or not it is going to live up to that claim.

Bissell Lift-Off Revolution Pet Bagless Upright Vacuum Product Specifications:

  • Type of Vacuum: Upright
  • Power: 1440 Amps
  • Filter: HEPA filtration
  • Cleaning Path: 15 inches wide
  • Dust Collection: Easy empty dirt cup
  • Attachments: On-board stretch hose, upholstery tool, dusting brush, crevice tool and telescoping extension wand
  • Warranty: One year warranty

There are a lot of different vacuums out there for you to choose, that it is often difficult to chose one.  The Bissell Lift-Off makes choosing a vacuum easier to do.  You don’t have to decide whether or not you want a canister or an upright vacuum, because it is both.

This is due to the Lift-Off feature, which allows users to lift off the canister and easily clean stairs, ceilings or other areas that can’t be cleaned when the vacuum is an upright vacuum.

Another great feature of this vacuum is that the cleaner is going to have all of the attachments at your fingers.  All of them are going to help clean all of those messes, but what is really great is that the hose is going to stretch to reach a bigger area.  This can help you to clean a set of stairs without pulling the vacuum up with you.

This vacuum is a bagless model, which means that you won’t have to buy bags again.  Before buying a bagless model, you are going to want to know whether or not emptying the dust container is easy or not.  With the Bissell Lift-Off Revolution Pet Vacuum Cleaner, you are not going to have a ton of problems emptying the container.  Here is what one Amazon.com user has to say about emptying the cup and how well it cleans.

“It is extremely easy to empty (just dump the cup) and works well on shag and “flat” carpet, as well as wood and vinyl floors.”

The Bissell 37604 vacuum cleaner is marketed to clean up pet messes and hair.  There is review after review that says that this vacuum is definitely not going to be great for picking up dog or cat hair.

“Pet hair tangles around the brushes, pet hair gets clogged in the hose, pet hair fills the bagless canister before you can even finish 1 room, pet hair fills the filter,etc. This vacuum is NOT for pet owners.”

Another thing that you are probably going to not like about the Bissell Lift-Off Revolution is that the warranty is only a year  long.  For a vacuum that costs less than $150, you might find that it doesn’t last as long as some of the more expensive vacuums are going to last.

Is The Lift-Off Going To Blast You To Cloud Nine?

As long as you don’t have a lot of pets (or a lot of family members with long hair) in your house, the Bissell 37604 is probably going to be a good vacuum.  The problem with the Lift-Off is going to be hair getting clogged up in the hoses, in the dirt cup and in the head of the vacuum.
