 Bissell vs. Dyson January 6, 2009
A. Hendricks (Arkansas)
I have four young children and my Dyson DC17 bit the dust yesterday, so I came home with the Bissell Healthy Home. Here is my journey and a comparison of the two vacuums. My Dyson is 18 months-2 years old. A few months ago it started having problems. I called my friendly local repair man who said no one works on Dysons, they are cheap, plastic and disposable, the company spends more on advertisement than product development, it will last 1yr.-18m. Great. He was right. Apparently, unless you want to spend in the $1500 range, price is not all that important...department/discount store vacuums just don't last. I can't spend $1500 on a vacuum. Here is the comparison,
D is for Dyson; B is for Bissell:
D is light; B is oh-my-word-heavy.
D's HEPA is "lifetime" meaning it lasts the life of the vacuum, which isn't long and isn't clean; B has an easily replaceable hepa on the side and another replaceable filter in the front.
D is narrow and gets in tight spots, B is wider and since heavier, harder to manuever.
D's foot is tall; B's foot is short and goes under appliances better.
D's wheels and corners are plastic and scuff; B's wheels and corners are rubber, which don't scuff but create drag and add to the weight issue.
D's dust container uses one button to release it from machine and to empty=one handed ease; B's container takes two hands b/c of two buttons.
D's beater brush inconvieniently is a knob by the floor; B's is a button on the handle.
D's power button is in the front; B's is on the handle and can easily be accidentally pushed.
B may be slightly quieter than D.
D's extension rod is a pain b/c it is always one length - long - and always attached...not good for tight places like the car; B's rod is seperate and telescoping...nice!
D and B have similar turbo brushes.
D has an extra thin flat attachment; B's brush attachment is narrower, pointed and more manueverable.
D has one beater brush level; B has 7 beater brush levels.
D's recline release is just stepping on the front (not easy when you are behind the vacuum; B's is a button on the back left.
Both have dual cleaning edges.
Both seem to suck with similar efficiency.
Both hoses are the same length.
Both handles are similar design.
Both carry most attachments on board...D's turbo brush is separate.
BAD DESIGN PROBLEM IN BOTH: The "lifetime belt" is a problem. If the belt comes off of the beater brush, there is no way to take the machine apart to fix it- thus a disposable vacuum. Good for them, bad for you and me.
My advice, if you've got money to burn and live in a small space or have lots of furniture, the Dyson might be a better pick b/c of it's manueverability. But if you don't want to spend double for a very similar machine, go for the Bissell. And remember, there is no perfect vacuum.
Great vacuum!! January 5, 2009
A. Foshee
We bought the Bissell Healthy Home vac the other day as a replacement for an older Bissell model. We were undecided which to buy at first, the Bissell or the Dyson vac for pets. As always, Amazon is where I turn to for reviews from everyday product users. And it seemed that the Bissell was as good, and maybe better than the Dyson in some ways. Needless-to-say I am very very pleased with the purchase!
My positives-
The vacuum has much better suction than my older one, it pulled up only knows what from the underside of my stove (with the attachment). It also pulled up much more pet hair than the older one. So, great suction!
I think it is pretty quiet
This is the 4th vac Ive tried on ceramic tile and hardwood floors. I tried it with the brush on and with the brush turned off. With the brush off I felt NO kickback of dirt on my feet. Thank you thank you thank you!! I may never use the broom in the kitchen again!
I havent tried the stairs yet, but from previous reviews, it sound as if it will go very well!
I love the pop out canister feature. Its nice to hit a button and all the dirt goes right into the garbage. A lot of ppl say for those like myself with allergies and respiratory problems that bagless isnt the best option. My trick is to bring the canister over to a garbage bag, and snuggly wrap the bag around the bottom of the canister and then hit the release button, wait a few seconds for the dirt/dust to settle and then take the canister from the bag. Works for me.
So far, the only sort-of down side is that the vac is heavy, but I dont so much mind it b/c I love the way it cleans!
Overall, great vacuum! And I saved $$ vs. the Dyson.
The right choice for those of us who cannot afford a Dyson January 5, 2009
D'Anne Witkowski (Michigan, USA)
I bought this vacuum a few days before we brought our new cat home and have had it a little less than a year. Our old vacuum was no longer doing much more than pushing dirt around and I was not going to waste another $70 or $80 on a vacuum that would only last a year or so. I couldn't, however, afford a Dyson, so I chose this one and am happy with that choice.
The main selling point for me about this vacuum was the whole "healthy home" thing (though one of the "features" of this vacuum is a bottle of chemicals to spray around your house to kill dust mites, which I do not use). I have bad allergies and with a cat on the way I wanted a vacuum that could handle dander and pet hair. This does both very well. In addition to our cat we have a miniature poodle and a greyhound, so pet hair is a problem. This is why I was excited to try out the Bissell 5770's TurboBrush. I hate sitting on a couch covered in pet hair and had yet to find anything short of a lint brush that did a decent job cleaning it up. The TurboBrush is apparently what I've been looking for. It works great for getting cat hair off furniture.
The TurboBrush, however, is also one of the most annoying things about this vacuum. It works great, I just don't like the way it is stored on the vacuum. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate having all of the attachments housed on the unit, but the way the TurboBrush clips onto the front, it frequently falls off while I vacuum.
Also, the unit as a whole is really heavy. This is not a vacuum for the feeble. If you are at all concerned about being able to push your vacuum across your floor, this is not the one for you. It does make vacuuming into work, but I don't mind. After all, I own a push lawn mower (you know, the old fashioned kind with the blades), so I'm into that sort of thing.
The hose is very long but I find that it doesn't reach nearly as far as you'd expect it to. It's pretty tightly coiled so it has a lot of spring back, if that makes sense. Also, be careful not to vacuum up ink pens. My wife vacuumed three pens up (she was not paying attention, to say the least) and one of them punctured the hose. I can patch it, I'm fairly certain.
The wide swath is listed as a selling point, but I wish it was a couple inches less in width. For one thing, the wider a vacuum is the harder it is to get to hard to reach areas like under end tables and such. Plus maybe it would make the unit a little lighter.
The anti-tip design is not exactly anti-tip. Granted, it doesn't fall over nearly as easily as my last vacuum did, but it's still top heavy and since the unit as a whole weighs a million pounds, when it falls it falls hard.
Even with these flaws, I like this vacuum. It's the best one I've ever owned, and worth the money, especially if you can find it on sale.
Heavy December 30, 2008
Two cents worth
Cleans well but it is so top heavy (dangerously falls over when vacuuming stairs or most times when using the hose) and is hard to push so I can not recommend for most friends and family.

My son has asthma, so I bought this thinking that I'd be able to clean all the surfaces in my house. It's got loads of attachments, but the problem is getting the thing where you need it. To say it's heavy is one whopper of an understatement. Since my house is carpeted upstairs only, that's where the thing lives. I've tried using it with the attachments on the stairs. but it tips over quite easily,so I find ways to keep it propped up. Assembly is easy if you have the right screwdriver for the job. I tried several, gave up for a few days, then lost the screw, so if you buy one, get that done ASAP. Also, if you're petite like I am, watch the cord. The suction is really strong, and since the thing is super heavy, it's easy to loose track of the cord and shred it. Exactly what I did. Also, the mini brush attachment on top falls off all the time. My home is not nearly as "healthy" as I thought it would be. Wok, wok
