BISSELL Rewind SmartClean Bagless Upright Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As I stated above this model is an updated version of the Bissell Cleanview Deluxe.I had that vacuum and was sad to give it up in an out of state move.Since my move (I couldn't find another Cleanview to purchsae at that time) I bought a cheap Dirt Devil Extreme Quick vac to get by (with a HEPA filter) and it served me well but would fill up too quickly and lose suction with cat fur and a lot of long human hair.I had been looking to find an updated version of the Cleanview and *poof* recently the SmartClean appeared on amazon before I found it anywhere else. I purchased it without hesitation.

I couldn't wait to get this out of the box and try it out. So far I like it a lot. Felt a bit more bulky than the Cleanview I had, but has the familiar handling.This Bissell added a few features, the retractable cord winder is nice, but I find that it retracts slightly while I vacuum which is a pretty minor annoyance.Suction is great and the included attachments are nice--same as the old Cleanview (powerprush, crevice tool, extender, and upholstery tool.There is a bit more air filtering than the Cleanview but has the same Dirt sensor "red light green light" which makes vacuuming more fun/productive. I simply couldn't believe the dust/pet dander that this vacuum picked up the first time I used it that the Dirt Devil had been missing.HEPA filter is great and necessary for my allergies.For the price range this vacuum is a great purchase, I hope to keep it for a while.

Product Description:
The unique SmartClean System was created with you in mind. The Clean Carpet Sensor helps to detect the areas in your carpet that need some extra attention; the red light will stay on for you until the area is clean and you'll know you're finished when the green light stays on. Also, the Clean Filter Indicator takes the guess work out of when to clean or change your filters. When you're done with your vacuuming, just press the automatic cord rewind button and stow it away- no more taking the time to rewind it yourself. The convenient clear bagless container allows for easy emptying. The Rewind SmartClean also includes a long reach hose, a TurboBrush Tool, extension wand, crevice tool and combination dusting/upholstery brush. It's no wonder that this is the smart choice in cleaning.

Bissell 3950 Velocity Bagless Upright Deep Cleaner Review

I LOVE THIS VACUUM!My mother and brother own different Dyson vacuums and have tried to convince me to buy one.I was reluctant to spend $450+ for a vacuum, but after my Eureka burned up and stopped sucking I nearly purchased a Dyson.

After much research, I decided to try the Bissell Velocity.It has similar features as the Dyson (dual cyclonic action, hepa, on-board tools, etc) but was on sale for $119 - and at that price, I could give it to a friend and replace with a Dyson if I didn't like it.

I thought my house was clean BEFORE I bought this vacuum - boy was I wrong!I had to empty the dirt canister 4 times and my house is only ~1800 square feet.My carpet feels 'fluffier' to my bare feet!I haven't tried it on my bare tile floors yet, but I am extremely satisfied with it's performance on carpet.Will recommend this to everyone I know!

Carpet Pro CPU 2T Commercial Vacuum Review

Carpet Pro CPU 2T Commercial Vacuum
Average Reviews:

Pros: It is a reasonably priced (less than half the price of a Dyson!), reasonably quiet, has a reputation for durability, picks up cat hair (yea!), and has a nice long cord so you are not having to move your plug around every room.

Cons: Haven't found any yet... I guess the one thing some people will dislike is that it's a big yellow monster, so it doesn't have the style cachet of a Dyson or even Hoover. But it's a vacuum cleaner, so I quickly got over that.

I stressed over our vacuum cleaner purchase more than I should have. I read the Amazon reviews, Consumer Reports, Consumer Search, and any other site I could find.

At the end of the day I came down to this vacuum and the Hoover U8173 Savvy TurboPower... Amazon's reviews of the Hoover U8173 Savvy TurboPower vacuum were limited in number but all positive; however, there was a mixed story out on the web on other sites/reviews about it. There were a few others that I absolutely ruled out after finding killer issues:
Dyson: destroys berber carpets AND costs $500
Hoover Tempo: only $70 or so, but seems to have some durability issues and no onboard tools.
Eureka: Not well built based on reviews and personal experience

This Carpet Pro is thus far amazing. The night it came, I vacuumed and it picked up every piece of dirt and lots I couldn't see. It was also quiet enough that it did not wake my sleeping kids.

Three other observations:
1) I ordered this exact model - I got the CPU-2T model with on-board accessory tools.. I couldn't find that model on Amazon at the time I purchased it so I ordered it elsewhere... Glad we can order it from Amazon now.And I paid the same price WITH tools as most other stores had the CPU-2 (the model without tools) because of a 10% off coupon... The tools work well - intuitive to use and the hose is sufficiently long for me.

2) This vacuum is not well known... It took a lot of hunting to learn about it, though two reviews I read were from Vacuum repairmen, who said it was the most durable, trouble-free vacuum they see. I knew it was a bit of a risk to buy a relatively lesser known vacuum. But it is commercial grade and made by the Tacony Corporation, who also makes Riccar and Simplicity vaccuums. Two different vaccuum stores recommended Riccar to me, so I felt better about this choice as a result.

3) We have a cleaning person come for occasional "deep cleaning" of our house - she loved the vacuum. Since she is someone who has lots of experience with different choices, I thought this was a good indicator that the Carpet Pro is a keeper!

--------
UPDATE July 09: We have had this vacuum now for about 9 months, and still love it. It picks up dirt and dust as well as it did when it was new, and behaves like it is indestructible. The only thing I don't love are the bag changes - not the neatest, but well worth the effort!
--------
Update Dec 09: Still going strong - no issues, and cleans as well as the day we got it! One additional comment - it is great for pet hair - the onboard tools do a nice job of snapping pet hair up, and what it doesn't get I use a lint roller on.
