Bissell SmartClean Canister Vacuum Cleaner, 2268

It's powerful, long cord. Light weight

It is a decent vacuum cleaner but needs more suction power.

There is almost nothing that I don' t like about this vacuum cleaner. The only improvement I can suggest would be to add a positive lock between the hose and the wand. It stays in place if firmly seated, but if not it can come loose while using it.It is quiet and has great suction, which can be easily controlled. It is easy to empty and picks up things from my hard floors in one pass, every time. The long hose, wand and cord allow me to reach anywhere in my house with only a few plug changes. The little edge brushes look like a gimmick, but they work very well. It even does a good job on carpet and we seldom get out our Dyson upright since we have had this machine.Highly recommended if you are a canister vac fan like I am.

The handle attachment to the wand does not lock in place, so when you are vacuuming carpet and pull the head back toward yourself the handle comes right out of the top of the wand and falls on the floor. This is a major concern, especially when using it on my tile flooring, as I don't want the metal wand to fall off and chip my tile! Highly recommend you buy something else.

This bissell canister its great!On carpet and hard floors.There’s a button for hard floors/carpeting vacuuming under my 4 beds and under Furniture. I needed the Extra long cord w/telescope and for reaching High ceilings. Has lots of power, Maneuvers nicely, it’s not heavy going up and down the Staircase.But a little awkward, so I’ll take off the long holes carry that separately makes it easiest.Easy to clean the filters, Must air dry.You can regulate the Suction power by using the Slider on the pole were the air coming out.This does a great job! Wish I would’ve purchased this sooner.The con I couldn’t find the cord.., its down low in the rear. Lol

I have had more vacuums than I can count over the last 20 years and I have to say so far this is my fav. Ive had it two months and use it almost daily. I think it has great suction, it’s easy to move around and I don’t have to empty the canister as much as I did others. So far no smell or dust which was always a big issues of mine w/others. I only wish it came with another bigger head attachment for carpets. The one included is great for hardwood though which is what we mostly have. I highly recommend if you do have hardwood but probably not so much for carpets.

I have serious back issues which keeps me from doing much cleaning. Traditional stick vacuums are problematic for me. Thankfully, this little dude can do the heavy lifting. I don't have to strain my back at all, the design of the tubing supports makes me confident I can just pull the little guy wherever he needs to go. The wheels are huge which makes getting over obstacles pretty easy.There are no rollers, and it certainly does better on hard surfaces. I have a hard floor house with rugs, and I find this plenty sufficient.

I have the cheap version of this vacuum and I am going to say that I prefer the cheapest one. This vacuum is heavy and hard to maneuver it's not worth the price.
