should power force bissell vacuum look dusty after 1st use

I wouldnt think so, I guess it all depends on how much dust you have in your carpet or floor, and maybe the filter is clogged, i know that my bissell isnt dusty after

You might have the external vaccum hose loose, or your floor is really really dusty. Vi've owned 5 and never had that issue. One model was with poor suction, so I ordered another

One time I looked at my sweeper bag and the dirt was all in the bottom. So I loosened it up. Also when I use attachments and the hose is not connected to the sweeper, dust comes out. So I just put a rag in it and it seemed to take care of that.

I just keep an eye on mine every time I clean the machine. I did not replace it for 10 years, but it got pretty dirty. I don't use my machine any more than 2-3 times a month...until I need a good cleaning. I've been told that the dirtier it gets the better it works as a filter, but I'm old school: I won't let it get that dirty again. I suggest, if you use the machine often, replace it at least once a year. Of course, you can always go to the Hoover website and investigate their FloorMate instructions. Happy cleaning!

With sandpaper off the pad turn on the unit. You should some if the vacuum channels or clogged. Recommend to shop a vacuum the sander after use. That way when you want to use again, it is ready to go.

Is this a new vacuum or are these replacement. If new vacuum make sure the charging switch is not turned off. I believe it is by the dust compartment. If they are replacement batteries and are new either they are not connected right or defective

I forgot to replace it one year and after a few months too many, I started to smell dust even after vacuuming. Once I replaced the filter, the dust odor went away after one or two vacuumings. It's expensive, but necesary. Would love to know if anyone has had good experience with the generic version for 1/4 the price!

I had the same thing happen. I ended up plugging it in to a different outlet and then it worked just fine, but I did have to set the vacuuming schedule back up. Originally I thought it was the outlet, but had it checked out and it was working fine. Italy be worth a try for you.

I can't specifically answer this question, but have you tried going on the Bissell website or calling a local vacuum repair? They both should be able to answer your question. Just make sure you have the model number ready.

After moving the purifier several times while vacuuming, mine has also developed a louder whirring noise. It is obvious at all levels. Level one used to be very quiet, an almost unnoticeable hum, but now it sounds like the motor is grinding and working overtime. As it's been less than a year, maybe less than half a year, I am planning on speaking to the manufacturer about it.

One other nice feature is a reset button for the power carpet head. With kids, my Bissell was always sucking up stuff that got tangled in the brush head. It would burn through the belt before I could turn it off. The Samsung's brush head turns itself off if it detects something tangled in the brush. Clear the brush head and hit the reset button and your working again..Nice feature..

I've had my vacuum 1 1/2 years and I have changed it once. Some of the dust and dirt will come out if it is tapped on a hard surface. I do this each time I change the bag. We have 3 small indoor dogs. When I vacuumed the other day I noticed that dusty stale odor. Guess it's time to change it. But you should be able to see the dirt that won't shake out.

According to the owners manual, both filters need to be replaced after approximately 20 dust bags have been used. The manual also says that the micro-hygiene filter can be changed when it becomes extremely dirty or clogged. I've only had my vacuum a few months and haven't had to replace a bag yet.

I recently purchased this vac and have not changed the filter but I did vacuum it once with my canister vacuum and it looked as good as new. I do this with my hand vac filter as well and I have had the hand vac for 4 years. I hope to get the same kind of mileage with the Spiffy Maid filter.

Ths Slim in my opion is the best upright Dyson of all. When turning it may scratch if front wheels on nozzle are sliding left-right when vacuum is not being pushed forward/backward. The front wheels roll in a straight line and are not castors and so the vac needs to be pushed and turned together to help prevent scratching (not always but sometimes this can be a problem). If pushing/pulling vac while turning - all will be fine. The Fix: Careful when turning or use a Dyson nozzle on the wand when vacuum hard surfaces. This is what I do and it works very well. Brushes on floor nozzle work better at removing sticky dust vs. the rubber blade on Slim (under nozzle). Please reply and let me know if this helps.

I've found this happens with my Bissell as well. What I do is turn down the steam dial. I have it set somewhere in the middle and it seems to help, though it leaves a bit of moisture. Also found that during winter when I've got my whole house humidifier on, I need to turn the steam dial even lower. Another thing I've found is that when the pad is dry it's less likely to leave streaks/wetness. As it gets wetter the issue becomes worse.I've had other steam mops that don't do this so no it's definitely not normal.

I am guessing something is missing. I have had two of these vacuums and never had this problem. You may want to return it and let them know it is defective. Hope this helps.

Hi Marie, yes we do recommend vacuuming or dusting first. While this unit is great at picking up dust it will make the job a bit easier if you remove loose debris first.

Used... Dirty or clean..?..? I'm not sure of the condition but, the question you pose is vague and the "LOOK" of the bristles will be as "PUFFED" or "FEATHERED" to allow the fine particles of floor dirt to be collected. I have enjoyed the proffinsioncey of the broom around cat litter pans because of the smaller amount dust it causes when servicing them. If you don't like the "look", send it back for inspection or refund, Amazon is great for that.
