I compared it to a very similar Dirt Devil: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KCO96C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc= 1 The design is very similar, practically identical, not sure who copied who. Bissell appears to have better material, more style and a larger main filter. It also has a sponge filter for the engine. Not sure if it's because of 2 filters but it sucks weaker than Dirt Devil. The Dirt Devil looks cheap, has a smaller main filter and no sponge filter on the motorโฆ
