Rated 4 out of 5 by roadtest how often to replace filter and where to buy them
I bought this vacuum at wal-mart. Overall, it is doing its work well.
I have only one question:
From the manual, I saw there are pre, post, in/out filter. I wonder how often these filters need to be replaced. Where can I buy them?
Thanks,

Rated 2 out of 5 by UNHAPPY CONSUMER Sorry I bought it
It claims to have a great suction feature. I find that on my tile floors which is the majority in my home that you need to go over it twice. Tried to return to Walmart and they refused to give me cash but a walmart card.
So I brought it home and will let it live it's life in the garage..

Rated 2 out of 5 by Mike Powerful, but at a price
This vacuum definitely sucks up a lot of the mess, but the BIG problem is that a lot of it comes right back out. I'm not sure if something is wrong with mine, but it is very inconvenient when I need to re-vacuum the mess that came out of the PowerForce with my handheld vacuum. When my wife bought this unit for such a low price, I was a bit skeptical. Moving forward, I would probably invest a little more money into a quality vacuum cleaner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by housekeeper4you Best vacuum ever!
I have owned two of these over the years. My first one lasted 5 years before it quit, which is really good considering I spent $40 on it. I just replaced it last year and my new one is still going strong. I use it at least everyday, for work and at home (I'm a housekeeper). I think it works just as well as the $500 Dyson's some of my clients have, sometimes I even prefer to use mine instead of the Dyson. It's easy to empty, when the suction it reduced I clean the filters and it's good as new. The only downside is the short cord, it would be great if they would put a longer cord on it. This is the only vacuum I recommend to my clients. It works great on carpet and hard surfaces. Definitely the best vacuum I've ever owned!

We love this vacuum ! We have 3 cats and a puggle dog and live in a small 3 bedroom house and this vacuum has been a life saver. Its easy to clean and and really picks hair and dust. I would like just a bit longer hose for the attachments and thats the only change I would make

I bought my vacuum about a month ago. Haven't had any trouble with it yet. Great little vacuum for your money. Go buy one today, if you want a great little vacuum.

Rated 1 out of 5 by King123 Pls help - Vaccum does not work anymore
I purchased this vacuum with high expectations but it has gone bad in less than 8 months. It was working great in the beginning, but now it does not pick up even the obvious dirt from my carpet. I am not sure if I did something wrong when I removed the dust from the vaccum chambers, but am really looking for help from someone here...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sammy FOR THE 6583 MODEL, IT'S AWESOME!!!
Ok, this is a great inexpensive vacuum cleaner, it has 3(YES, I said 3!!!) different types of WASHABLE filters, which in my book, may not be exactly the same as a HEPA filtration, but it definitely does the job, we have a 9yr old(in human yrs) black lab/pit-bull mix dog(and he is awesome, he loves everyone!), and it cleans ALL of his fur, that he has shed, plus, as long as you keep up with the emptying of the container, and do it softly, so you do not spread the dust back around, it ALL stays in the trash cans, plus, the ONLY issue, I have had with mine, is after about a year, or so, the rotating bar bushings, went bad, which isn't a hard or expensive fix, just take a few screws out of the bottom cover, and pop it off, and then just pull the rotating bar out, along with the belt, which the changing of the belt isn't hard, as you can easily see, as well, that is, if your bar keeps getting caught on strings from your old carpet and you do not turn it off, soon enough, obviously, but, other then that, it's actually pretty quiet, for its power, and suction, and if I had the cash, at that moment, I actually would have gone with the step above model, the 6584 model, only because it has the front light, and a few extra additions to it, that this one does not have, which is no big deal, you don't do your vacuuming in the dark, do ya!? LOL

Rated 5 out of 5 by docc863 This vacuum cleaner really SUCKS!!!
WOW! For the price and the quality, you just can't find a better deal! My neighbors bought one and I borrowed it from them, and I just had to go out and buy one that week. I was impressed on how much it picked up from my carpet. I love my BISSEL POWERFORCE BAGLESS VACUUM! I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to purchase a new cleaner. Don't spen a lot of money if you don't have to, this vacuum gets the job done with amazing results!

I purchased this Bissell PowerForce Vacuum from a Walmart Store. I was confident after reading very good Reviews. However, when it arrived, and when I finally put it all together I found it heavy and awkward to move around. Even worse, emptying & cleaning the plastic "Dirt Container" is extremely difficult & time consuming. It is not simply emptying the"Dirt Container", it is the other sections and filters above & below the "Dirt Container" that you HAVE to take apart to clean and dry. By no means is this Vacuum convenient. I so regret buying the Bissell PowerForce Vacuum Cleaner.

the hose is always clogged. I have to go in manually to clean the hose every time that I vacuum. I want my money back.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mare Not Like it Used to Be
I have used Bissell vacuums for years......and when mine broke I instantly replaced it with the SAME KIND because I loved everything about it, and it was inexpensive. The new one is very cheaply made and I will probably never buy another Bissell. The attachment hose keeps popping out of the vacuum.......the old one was permanently attached and never came out. The attachment hose does not extend! If you need to vacuum anything over 5 feet high, you'll need to lift the vacuum with one hand, and use the other to reach the ceiling, drapes, walls etc. The old one extended to reach everything! Take it out of the box and see for yourself before you buy it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by linda22 This vacum has some great features
I'm really impressed with this machine. I think it vacuums much better and deeper than most other cleaners. I like the fact that you can empty the canister of dirt rather than bags- which I've always had. It saves money on bags. You can see the dirt it picks up thus showing it's effectiveness. It is somewhat lightweight, and easy to maneuver around the house. No complaints so far.
I think Its a "good bang for the buck" .

Rated 3 out of 5 by big d Good suctiion, but trouble when emptying out cannister.
Nice overall vacuum. Works okay on bare floors and thick carpet. Cannister cleaning is a chore and hard to place back on machine after dumping.

Rated 5 out of 5 by g-power This product has excellant features
This product is extremly powerful. We have several pets and must clean very regularly. The filtration system gets everything! We love our pets but suffer from many allergy's. This system is truely the best way to remove dust and particles,plus hair, in one shot. The cost was also competitive.

Rated 1 out of 5 by trustsea Good at first, but fades over time
It worked great at first. The suction was strong and the vacuuming was taking up lots of stuff - both seen and unseen to the naked eye on both carpets and hardwood floors. In summation the engineering of the machine is solid and the functionality is very good.
Unfortunately the quality of the plastic mold is insufficient to withstand the normal forces of its day to day operation. Just this last week the plastic head where the screw under the suction head attaches itself to the blue molded base riped off the entire anchoring mold of the screw assembling during normal usage. This shows that the need to save a few cents in materials costs alot in the long run! Will return today and buy another brand of better quality to avoid a repeat of inferior production.
