I have waited until after having used this vacuum several times before writing this review. We'll start with the Pros & move on to the Cons...
Pros: It is fantastic on hard floors, that is for sure! My house has them throughout but I put down carpet as rugs in most rooms and down the hallway. This vacuum goes seamlessly over them back and forth. Although, I do swap levels sometimes (level 2 for hard and 3 for carpet). It can also vacuum rugs without chewing them up.
One thing I cannot stand with most vacuums is that when going over hard floors they fling debris backwards and you can feel it hitting your feet as you work. This vacuum doesn't do that and I think it is the Scatter Free or OnePass technology at work, which is by far my favorite feature. Definitely helps in not having to make multiple passes or being frustrated when finished because you find stuff everywhere you just vacuumed. Plus when on the lower setting (2), it almost feels like it polishes the floor a little under your feet. Maybe that's just because the brushes are still pretty new.
Next, and this is my preference, but I love the orange color. The attachments are fairly easy to work with as well, albiet slightly in the way sometimes. The foot pedals for tilt & power are also big, easy to identify (the power pedal is red) and push. The canister also empties easily. This vacuum also has PLENTY of suction, which makes using it a breeze. Most of the time one pass is all you need. It's also not very heavy in my opinion.
Cons: There aren't many but I do have to say that the lack of a light on the front sometimes leaves me wishing there was one. That can probably be remedied easily with an LED light strip or something if you care to rig one up.
Next, after having just tried using it for the first time a few minutes ago, the "turbo brush" attachment pretty much sucks, no pun intended. The spin of the brush is based off of suction and despite there being plenty of it, as soon as I tried to use it on my couch it stopped spinning almost immediately. The suction was still there to get the job done, but the brush itself seems pointless.
The length of the cord is fine but where the hose is positioned on the back and how it wraps up on the top side can be a little tight. An easy remedy is just to disconnect the hose while you wrap the cord and then reattach. It also seems like the cord is just long enough to wrap up and have the end of the cord where it snaps in place be right at the upper or lower loop where it can't snap on, forcing you to leave it slightly loose. Personally this is a pet peeve that I get really annoyed by so I try not to think about it too much lol.
Finally, the last flaw I can really come up with is that the handle doesn't tilt all that far without the brush coming off the floor. No idea what the max tilt angle is but just going under my kitchen table caused it to come off the ground, and that's not exactly low.
VERDICT: Overall this is a great budget vacuum. For roughly $100 I really don't think you can go wrong. I don't have pets but do have two young children and cleaning up behind them with this thing is a cinch.

Better than my Dyson
I love this vacuum. Quick and easy to plug and go. This machine makes vacuuming so much easier than my $700 Dyson and I think it does a better job. All the tools have a place to hang on the vacuum so it's easy to unplug the hose, pop on another attachment and get edges, corners and tight spots or vacuum the sofa backs and other upholstery. My husband says he can breath better every time I use this vacuum and I think he's probably right! The beater bar works well - I've never seen it scatter debris - the suction is great. The bar doesn't seem to have a release for cleaning but access to untangle it is pretty good. Most vacuums come with a shorter power cord so I'm constantly unplugging and replugging in as I move from room to room, this 25 ft cord is great - I can do the entire staircase without running up and down to replug. There are 2 filters in this vacuum. One is on top of the canister (see my first photo - the dark disc like sponge is the filter) and the other, the HEPA filter, is under the canister (see my next three photos). The red tab over the "filter" sign presses down and then pulls out. The filter is hiding in there. You can buy replacements here on Amazon but both can be washed and left out to dry thoroughly before reinstalling. Two links here. There are others with Fabreez scented too that work just fine. The replacement for the top filter is here: https://www.amazon.com/Bissell-Powerforce-Bagless-Washable-Premotor/dp/B07J1WWBHN/ref=pd_bxgy_1/146-2841301-6127064?pd_rd_w=JBok2&pf_rd_p=c64372fa-c41c-422e-990d-9e034f73989b&pf_rd_r=5P3R38HHGPC5J9VAB5J7&pd_rd_r=fddc7f03-0d44-41e0-a401-6bf5edcb088e&pd_rd_wg=3Ysny&pd_rd_i=B07J1WWBHN&psc=1 The replacement for the HEPA filter is here: https://www.amazon.com/Bissell-Powerlifter-Washable-160-4130-1604130/dp/B01IRPMVLA/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=BISSELL+Cleanview+Bagless+Vacuum+Cleaner%2C+2486+filters&qid=1633567691&sr=8-9 I received a Bissel hand vac along with this machine and I’m surprised by how often we grab that for little spills but its also been great for sofa crumbs, cleaning the car or boat and the kids strollers and car seats. A great vacuum from a good company. Bissel gives back and supports United Way, Junior Achievement, and Ronald McDonald House, so you can feel good about this purchase!
