First Bissell vacuum I've owned, I bought it based on price and feedback. I like that it is bagless. My prior vacuum cleaner required bags which became harder to find the older it got. At the end, I was ordering them online. The Bissell addresses the benefits of the bag and cleans much better. I read two negative reviews, one on the length of handle and the second that it sucks too much. I have no idea why either of these could be perceived as an issue. Summing up, good value for money, very happy with the purchase.
