Hoover Office Machine Cleaner and Bissell Powerforce Bagless

[cowboytim98]

I have the same Bissell, and it's a bitch to maintain. Gotta disassemble the filters, wash them, then let the thick, pleated filter dry for 3 days before reassembly. Gotta do this about every 10 uses, or it loses suction.

After 8 months, I'm ready to go back to a "bagged" vacuum. Change the bag and you're good to go. I'm a single guy and can't believe the ridiculous maintenance on this model -- how the hell would busy parents have time for this?

are you sure the first one is a vacuum not a lawn mower. lol

lol I have a bissell and it sounds that way only when i have it on the low setting otherwise its fine. was your on the low setting?

I dislike the Bissell Powerforce because it sounds akin to an electric woodworking router, in which its motor spins in the neighborhood of 20,000 to 30,000 rpm.

no that is actually how it sounds
