Bissell BIS3593E Bagless Upright Vacuum

Just bought it. Impressed so far. Med. noise level, great suction. Easy to empty dust cup. Easier than all the other models I looked at. There is no such thing as a maintenance free Vacuum. The more often you clean it the better it will work. This one is easily maintained. The filters are easily remove. The best way to clean the filters is to blow them off with compressed air, if you have an air compressor. If you have long haired pets then the roller will get clogged by the hair. So will any other Vacuum. You have to remove it. If this bothers you then I recommend you get a canister vacuum without a roller brush. I tested 5 different vacuums at a price range from $59 to $130 and found this was the best at cleaning and easy to use. We had an older Dirt Devil. It was maintained, but it did not have very good suction. It also burned up belts often.

Still working good. Had to replace belt once. Have to clean filters regular, or loses suction power.
