Title: R.I.P. Bissell June 2005 - April 2006
Product review: This vacuum worked well at first and it was great not to have to deal with bags. A few months ago the vacuum started smelling awful and got increasingly loud. We cleaned out the filter and the rolling brush which was a pain. Soon after, the belt broke and the rolling brush melted into the part that was holding it in place. It still has suction, but it doesn't help unless I'm only using the attachments. I called a service center and the parts would have to be ordered and costed more than what we paid for the vacuum. Needless to say, we're now buying a new one. It had a good run, almost lasted a year, but I did expect more from a Bissell.
