Convenient, Lightweight, Simple To Use
I enjoy using this floor cleaner. With the amount of hardwood/laminate and linolium that I have in my downstairs area, I can go a bottle of expensive floor cleaner in just a few days or so, especially in the wintertime. The cleaner I buy is 4 or 5 dollars a bottle. The cleaner you use in this machine lasts a long time - it only takes a quarter cup or so mixed water for the tank and a tank will last most of the week for me.
Here is what else I like about this cleaner: It's very lightweight and portable. I can take it upstairs to clean the bathroom floors very easily. One of the bathrooms is large and with this machine, I can easily carry it up-vacuum the room and then mop it in one go. This cleaner gets the edges around the baseboard well and it hugs up against the walls.
As for my larger rooms downstairs, this works well too. The vacuum is no Dyson, but it does a good job on dust, dirt, mud, cat/dog hair and particles, but it won't suck up larger things. If you...
Good wet cleaning, adequate dry, great value for price
The two capabilities of this vacuum are that it functions as a regular dry vac, sucking up dust and debris, and providing deeper cleaning on the wet side. The first thing I did was use the dry vacuum function and I found it adequate, but with some weaknesses which are common in upright vacuums with a broad and low head. It picked up dust, hair, and errant bits of debris. However, larger things like an errant lemon seed that fell on the kitchen floor tended to just get scooted around as the seed was too tall to get sucked into the vacuum cleaner. I had to pick the vacuum up and set it on top of such things, or simply scoop up the seed with a hand brush and dust pan. I do not see this as a failing of the vacuum, but it is a point to consider if you're hoping not to have to do any manual cleaning at all.This isn't going to suck up every large particle you drop on the floor.
The second aspect of this is the wet vacuum. The way this is implemented is pretty smooth. You swap...
Okay...
We recently moved and went from a home with mostly carpets to a home with almost all tile and pergo. In my previous house we used a swifter on the kitchen floor and small wood floor area in the dining room. As we have so much tile here I was hoping this would be just what I was looking for.
I love the design, that you can dry vacuum and then flip it over and wet vac. That works really well, you just flip the handle over and it was very simple. What I didn't love was the weight, I found this vacuum to be fairly heavy especially with the water tank full and the wet clean feature just seemed to leave small puddles that could then be suctioned up.
It worked okay, but I had an aching back by the time I was done. I already have a very light vacuum cleaner, and then use a swifter for dry and wet mopping. I actually find the swifter much easier to use then this Bissell, the Swifter is light and you moisten the mop for a wet clean, and it's much less expensive...
