Mediocre wet or dry.

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2006
The Bottom Line: Pass on this until a rotating brush or some better way to scrub and lift ground-in dirt is added.
Review: The Bissell 5200 "Flip-It Bare Floor Cleaner" vacuum, an attempt to produce an electric broom-style wet cleaner for hard floors is, for the most part, a failure.

Simply put, this vacuum doesn't get floors clean. Certainly, it spits out a...

Good wet, not so good dry

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: It's a great mop for any conditions, and a so-so vacuum. If you have pets or a lot of dust, you'll be using another dry vac method.
Review: I rent a 1200 sq foot house with linoleum tile through the whole thing. I also have a big dog and live in a dry dusty climate. I bought the Flip-It to facilitate mopping both upstairs and downstairs. I'm not impressed with the dry vacuum feature. If...

Wonderful Bissell Flip It!

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: Buy a Bissell Flip It immediately if you have lots of hard flooring. It will cut cleaning time and give you better results than the traditional method of cleaning floors.
Review: In November my husband and I bought our first house. The entire house has laminate flooring except for the two bathrooms that both have tile. Sweeping and mopping with a regular broom and mop was becoming quiet a chore. My sister who has four...

Happy enough with my Flip it

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend this for anyone who hates mopping all the time. Really good for daily clean ups.
Review: I was looking for a lightweight alternative to my giant Hoover Steam cleaner that I was using on my kitchen floors. It did a great job but the thing was so heavy to lug around and it was cumbersome to switch the cleaning solutions and it didn't get...

LOVE IT!

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: For a person with all hard floors, this is wonderful.
Review: All of the floors in my house are tile, so I figured I buy this and give it a shot.

To start out with, this was VERY easy to put together. Took 5 minutes, probably less. The only 'tricky' part was the the hole for the handle screw was...

POOR PERFORMER

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: Bad Purchase
Review: I bought this product after installing Pergo flooring in my laundry room, hardwood flooring in my dining room and ceramic tile in my kitchen. It looked so impressive on the commercial (don't they always) and my sister (who cleans obsessively) wanted...

I really want to love this machine....but I don't.

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2009
The Bottom Line: It's not horrible but I think there has to be something better out there - my recommendation is to avoid this one and keep looking.
Review: I've had the Bissell Flip-It for several years.  There is just two of us and 3 cats - so lots of cat hair.  I keep using it and hoping I'm just doing something wrong but I just can't seem to get it to work effectively. 

First of all, as...

Finally... My Hardwood Floors Are Spotless! I HIGHLY Recommend This Product To Anyone!

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: Bottom line is, the Bissell Flip-It really works! It's worth 10 times the retail price.
Review: To start, I see a lot of people aren't happy with the fact that after mopping with it, it does leave a bit of water underneath. And I understand that. But... the PAYOFF of beautiful, amazingly clean floors is worth it. So put a piece of paper towel...

Works good wet, not dry.

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2005
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this for anyone who has a lot of hard floors and doesn't like regular mopping.
Review: I bought this because I have a variety of hard floors, new laminate to really old vinyl, and nothing I've found so far cleans them all well. I HATE mopping, so was pretty happy when this came out.

It was easy to put together, and it's easy...

I love it

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: I recommend this product highly. You know your floors are clean because you are not just pushing dirty water around like you do with regular mopping.
Review: First off, I wish epinions would name this product the "Bissell 5200 Flip It Upright Wet/Dry Vacuum" .. without "Flip it" in the title ... it's confusing.

Do not get this product confused with another one called "Flip Ease". I accidentally...
