Relatively Inexpensive; PowerForce is Power full!,
I researched online but using online comparison tools, also visited several stores (Kohls, Sam’s Club, Target, Walmart, etc.) to get a good look and feel for a vacuum.
I was willing to spend up to $120 for a decent vacumm to replace my Hoover – Hepa WindTunnel Bagless model (which started scretching and stinking up the house) before I finally got annoyed with it and threw it out.
The Bissel PowerForce Turbo is, in my opinion, the best deal for the relatively low price of $68 plus tax. Last week I vacuumed and steam cleaned my carpets. Yesterday I vacuumed for the first time with the PowerForce Turbo and I could not believe the stuff that was pulled out from the rugs. Not just dirt and dog hair, but also carpet room deodorizer which was sprinkled on the carpets weeks ago!
The easy empty container is easily removable and washable; the cord is 30 feet long (no need to unplug and replug); the headlight gives you a better view; bagless feature is a must (who would want a vacuum with a bag now a days anyway…); and the vacuum is relatively quiet and lightweight.
Now with all these pros, you would think that there is a con. NOT AT ALL. The only feature my old Hoover had that the Bissell did not have was the dirt sensor, which, I believe is not worth a dime anyway. The Bissell picked up MORE dirt, hair, and who knows what else that the twice as expensive Hoover did not – although the Hoover’s dirt sensor indicated a clean carpet.
So, all in all, if you want a GREAT vacuum without spending $200 go with the Bissell PowerForce Turbo model. So far, I am glad I did!!

|I used to hate vacuuming. Now I kinda almost like it.,
Look, it’s 68.99 plus tax. It’s a Bissell. It comes with a 1 year warranty.
I have two cats and I myself have long curly hair that tends to fall out sometimes. My apartment is about 800sq feet or less and fully carpeted except for the bathroom and kitchen.
My cats are shed monsters.. I moved in on Feb 15 2008 and vacuumed once before I moved in with a friend’s Eureka and then after that I have been vacuuming with some cheapo thing that is not meant for this type of cleaning. I thought I had to save up to buy a great vacuum.
Well, this vacuum is better than the Eureka Boss I had with my roommate. I mean the Eureka is great but that thing was so heavy I hated.
Now, the Bissell PowerForce Turbo is pretty in pink and lightweight and seems shorter than the Eureka. I am not quite 5 feet tall so I really had to look around for something I could use and be comfortable. I was actually having fun using this vacuum. The cat hair and stuff it picked up was AMAZING. I have only lived here 3 months even after vacuuming with my other vac… you can’t imagine how much dirt there was on the floor. I mean WOW!
Okay so
PRO’s
a. easy to set up
b. lightweight
c. pretty
d. easy to handle
e. had a nice bright light for vacuuming in the dark
f. the turbobrush is like a mini vacuum cleaner – fits into tight spaces like between the legs of a nightstand or in between the wall and dresser. Also great for getting the cathair off the couches.
g. the washable filters are a great feature — I recommend washing them once a week and more often if you have cats or dogs. I washed mine after the first use just because I am a neat freak.
h. the attachments are basic and fine for normal use — what more do you need besides a crevice tool (which is great for under baseboard heating); a turbobush and a drapery/duster thing?
i. it has great suction.
j. it’s easy to maintain
h. easy power button and release button
CONS
1. The Hose is stretchy – but pointless since it just pulls the vacuum cleaner over unless you hold the vacuum with your foot.
2. I’ll let you know more in a few months since others say it doesn’t last.
It’s perfect for small homes and apartments and if you don’t vacuum everyday or have a 3200 square foot house.
I wouldn’t say to buy this if you have a LARGE house and a number of kids dogs, pets, etc and plan to vacuum EVERY DAY. This is single person’s or couple’s vacuum with 1 or 2 pets.
Different vacuums suit different needs. Many of the people who have reviewed this vacuum and who gave it a bad review might be using it for a larger home or a home with 5 dogs and 3 cats and kids or something.
Also, you have to be careful what you pick up with it – you just can’t suck anything into a vacuum and expect it to work forever.
You have to be careful with ends of curtains, robe ties, strings, paperclips etc. You have to check the vacuum more than once a month.
If you’re a single person or a couple with a small to med size home with 1 or 2 pets and vacuum like once a week… this is the perfect vacuum for you!
Just be good to it and it will be good to you.
