Review on PowerForce Lightweight Industrial BGU1451T Commercial by James Pfettscher

Price doesn't seem to match the description of 'commercial' but the amount of positive reviews combined with my previous experience with Bissell seemed fair his idea (I've had the Bissell Big Green Machine Carpet Cleaner for over 5 years now and I love it). I am very disappointed that Bissell advertises this vacuum as "commercial". make a product of such poor quality. Nobody could use it as a commercial vacuum cleaner - it will never last long. Poor suction at best and the plastic construction is flimsy. Pouch compartment lid warped after two uses (on surfaces with no visible dirt). My advice: look elsewhere. I wish I could suggest a good option but I'm still looking. I've had a Dyson V8 Animal for 2 years - more expensive doesn't mean better performance. I love that it's wireless, but I don't have more time cleaning it than using it. In addition, the plastic began to tear after a year - no guarantee. I had an Electrolux - the on/off switch melted. Electrolux replaced it - had the same issue when replacing it. Electrolux replaced it again - with a canister - quiet, with great suction power but carrying it around was a real pain. The only thing I have is an extension cord that plugs into the vacuum and acts as a power cord.
