This is absolutely disgusting! I have had my Bissell for over a year and have never used anything other than genuine Bissell parts. It's true that you get what you pay for. After using my Bissell, thoroughly cleaning and drying those cheap parts for over 24 hours, I put it back together ready for the next use. Wow! A week later and this is how it looks! It's disgusting that mold is growing on it and didn't even vacuum it properly! Never again will I save money and buy cheap parts. I will only order directly from the Bissell website. Don't rush to buy them!
