My new vacuum for $89 (bought on sale)! I LOVE IT! The end of my 16 year love affair with Dyson 5 machines ending with a premium 'filterless' pet! Oh, and the filterless Dyson has filters as ineffective as any! π On our ranch and desert mud I can't keep D filters (I have 2 switch kits) clean ie. Suck! So we did some research and found the Bissell Swivel, their base model, which got good reviews. Its filters are the same as leaf blowers: the foam can be rinsed, squeezed, really cleaned and full suction power restored. Also, there is height adjustment so I can use it on my flat mats and skins, no vacuuming in the car! I walked a large flat wool rug in LRm with a Dyson wand (that's all that would work with a Dyson!) on one side, then Bissell! Huge difference! My densely stacked wool rug at the entrance is the cleanest in years! Come on in, cowboys, dry your feet! πEven if I have to buy a new one every 2 years (or every year!), I'm still ahead at $89 because I have a car that WORKS and my house is clean. π. Incidentally, Bissell now uses a good, very flexible hose material for these machines. The vacuum feels like 1/2 the weight of a Dyson.
