Guide Review - Bissell Powerforce Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

I recently purchased the Bissell Powerforce Vacuum Cleaner. This vacuum cleaner is very easy to assemble and operate the first time. Although the vacuum is hard to push forward at times, it is lightweight (about 17 pounds) so it's easy to lift and maneuver. The Bissell Powerforce has plenty of suction power with its 12 amp motor and it leaves my carpets feeling and looking clean.

The Bissell Powerforce has an easy to empty dirt container that may be washed in warm, soapy water. This vacuum cleaner also features a 3 stage filtration system. These filters include a pre-motor filter, which protects the motor from dirt and debris, inner and outer circular filters which collect fine dust and particles, and a post-motor filter that helps return cleaner air to the room. These filters can be cleaned or replaced as needed. I live in the desert with lots of fine dust, and I have found that I need to clean the filters after each use.

The Bissell Powerforce also features on-board tools for cleaning upholstery, autos, stairs and drapes. The stretch hose is very sturdy and easy to use with lots of cleaning suction. An extension wand, crevice tool and combination dusting/upholstery brush are also included with this vacuum cleaner.
