Cleans very well, light weight
Be ready to dump the wastewater and refill the soap and water repeatedly--both are quite small. I have to stop about 3 times just with my area rug in the living room.

While I am not a huge fan of cleaning, I do enjoy using this Bissell vacuum.  It's very lightweight, making it much easier to reach for to clean instead of lugging the full-size vacuum out of the closet.  I like that it has a smaller removable hand vac which is great for small messes.  The suction seems powerful enough and it's easy to dispose of the dust and then re-assemble the unit.  The biggest downside is the charge it holds.  As other reviewers have commented, this vacuum will function for around 10-15 minutes on a full charge.  On the plus side, it's handy, light and easy to use, but only for smaller areas or less heavy-duty messes.

Don't get me wrong, this thing picks up a lot of dirt! I got it as a gift for my mother (short and 60 years old) who adores it. It's easy to use, compact, and cleans everything to her satisfaction. She especially likes it because it's so light (about 10lb lighter than the DC25)

This thing cleans well. For $300 tax included at Costco it was a good deal and a wonderful present to my mother who has been struggling with an old Hoover for a while. I observed her cleaning with it and it's really easy for her to use. I have a DC28 Animal and I have to say, the DC24 cleans rather well! Not as well as the full-size vacuums but enough for the house to be clean.

This vacuum is great for anyone. Ok, maybe get the DC25 if you're over 5'10".

Now,the complaints ARE valid on here. The power cord is short. The hose is shorter than my DC28. But come on, this is Dyson's smallest upright. What do you expect?

This thing is ideal for small apartments and/or people who prefer not to lug around a huge vacuum cleaner. I swing by once a weak and give my parents' house a good run-through with my DC28 (I have ALL the attachments btw) and gotta say, it doesn't pick up more than the DC24 (granted I vacuum less than 24hrs after she goes over the house with it). I have the DC28 because I have 2 long-hair cats and get half of a canister every 2 days per floor. So basically, the DC24 is perfect for my parents and I'm satisfied with every penny I spent. And, since I have attachments, I saved money by not getting them the Animal DC24 which is basically the All-Floors model plus some extras.

Easy to maneuver, great suction, light, compact, and good price. Excellent 5+ Star vacuum.

The Bissell vaccum is nice.  It really sweeps up the dirt out of the carpet and it is light weight.  All the attachments are placed on the sweeper for convenience.  Really a good deal.

We like this a lot - quite lightweight, very easy to move.  Really picks up, and not difficult to clean out.

Amazon Vines review of the Bissell 47B2 ReadyClean PowerBrush Upright Deep Cleaner

The product arrived well packaged and timely. It was easy to assemble, and weighing only about 12 pounds, it is light weight and easy to maneuver around your home.

The Bissell ReadyClean PowerBrush is designed fairly much like other carper shampooers I have used. It has two reservoirs, one for the cleaning solution and the other is used to gather the dirty water as it is removed from the carpet. You can use different cleaning products with this cleaner, and it comes with a small bottle of Bissell carpet cleaning solution. It's nozzle and cleaning brushes can be removed for quick cleaning. Like most cleaners, it has a rotating brush that helps to remove embedded dirt or stains. The rotating Dirt Lifter Powerbrushes seemed to do a fairly nice job of removing embedded dirt and stains. The bristles are stiff and helped to lift dirt and stains, but seemed gentle enough that I did not see any carpet wear caused by the bristles.

Because the item is a smaller cleaner and is light weight, it is easy to use and to store, it has a retractable handle that also makes it easier to store away in a small area.

I used the ReadyClean Power Brush cleaner to do my family room carpet, which is a nice Berber. It seemed to do a good job of cleaning the carpet as well as removing the cleaning solution and water when I rinsed the carpet. Being small and light weight, I am not sure this is a cleaner I would use through out my entire house. It has about a 9 inch cleaning path, which is about average for a smaller carpet cleaner. I think it does a good job for quick clean ups and works well on spots. I have a larger, heavier-weight Hoover cleaner with a 11 inch cleaning path that I would use when I wanted to do all my carpets. But for quick clean ups, and spot removing, this cleaner seems to do a good job. It comes with a 20 foot power cord so you have enough cord to easily get around the average size room without having to disconnect the unit and plug it into another electrical socket.  I also used Hoover's Oxy Cleaner Detergent in this unit and it worked fine with the Bissell cleaner.

All in all, this seems like a fairly well-built product, I didn't find anything that I thought was a negative feature and so I am comfortable with recommending it for use. Again, if you have a larger house with a lot of carpet, you might want to buy a little larger and more powerful unit. But for a smaller home, or a larger home that does not have a lot of carpet, I think this cleaner from Bissell will do the trick--just fine!

I like this vacuum.  I originally got it for my vehicle.  Although the head attachment is a bit larger, but you can still use just the hose and the small attachment and the larger head for the larger areas of the vehicle like the back and floors.  I tried the vacuum in the house on my carpet.  The carpet isn't so tall and the "head" grabs and doesn't move smoothly.  What I do like is that it can fit underneath dressers, unlike my larger unit.  Over all, it's a good vacuum for lighter smaller jobs.  But it does work good on hardwood or tile floors where it's smooth.  It's also very lightweight.  I like the handle too.  Also nice is that you can see the dirt collect in the plastic container so you know it's full.  The only reason why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that it doesn't run smoothly over carpet.  It sort of "grabs" with the bristles and the plastic squeegee-like strip.  The filters are easy to remove and clean.  You can rinse with a mild detergent to get the filter clean and the post motor filter is also easy to remove, clean, rinse, dry and pop back in.

Even though this is a commercial vacuum, I bought this for my home after looking around for while to replace my old one. I must say that this is a great vacuum with a great suction yet very light weight. When the bag is full, it's so easy to remove it and replace with a new one. No more emptying/cleaning of the vacuum bin, making a mess and letting dust back in the air! It is a little louder than I would like it to be, but I can ignore it since it does great job at cleaning which is the most important thing for me in a vacuum cleaner.

Powerful and light weight...Once used needs to be cleaned frequently.  But this is worth the convenience of being able to use a product as an upright vacuum or a hand held for purposes of cleaning outside, car, etc.  I am enjoying the product.

Great suction, light to carry, cute to look at.
I've only used it a few times. My friend has had hers for a longer time; she cleaned houses for 20 years. I'm grateful to her for recommending it.

We use it a lot and it cleans up nicely.  It is a little heavy for those who may be concerned about lifting it.

For the most part, I'm very happy with this cleaner. I do wish it had larger clean and dirty water tanks but, of course that would have added to the weight. Overall, I'm very happy with my choice and it's narrow enough to get into tight spaces that larger machines probably couldn't and it is relatively light weight, a feature that attracted me, as I have a bad back. I'd recommend it and I'd buy it again.

I had an old Hoover Power Scrub from the early 1990's that finally died. After looking around and also checking user reviews, I decided on a new Hoover unit. Can't believe how much they improved it! Instead of trying to make all of the tools "on board" like the old model, this one gives you a separate accessory bag to hold it, which makes the machine itself MUCH lighter to carry and move around. Big bonus for those of us with lots of stairs. Also, since I sometimes use in in rental units, it's important to me to keep the machine clean after use because, well, you never quite know just what you're cleaning up after a tenant moves out! The new machine has logical parts that all come off easily to be rinsed after use. (The old one had screws to remove and was a total pain to clean after use).

And finally, even in my own home which I keep pretty clean, I'm usually amazed at the really filthy water and "mud" that comes out of the pick-up tank when I empty it. At least this tells me that the machine is doing it's job, which it does very well. I love the fact that this machine has a Wash and Rinse selector. Rinse is really important to get residual detergent out of the carpet which can dry sticky and make the rug attract more dirt. The only potential downside is that the clean water tank needs to be filled pretty often - especially if you are doing larger areas or whole rooms. It's obviously a trade-off with the overall weight of the machine, but I'd rather stop and refill a little more often (also let's you ensure the cleaning water stays hotter) than to fight with a heavy machine.

Smaller then I expected, this is a great vacuum for quick cleanup rather then dragging out my larger upright. I keep this in my living room closet for my living room and dining room exclusively (wood floors). It's lightweight, has great suction, and a nice wide head. Most controls are on the handle, including adjustable suction (nice touch), for quick access with a cord rewind and second power button on the canister itself. Accessories can be stored on the wand handle for quick changes.

I've owned a lot of different vacuums over the years and it's rare that I come across one that I feel is really 'different'.... this one is. It's very small, yet powerful, and built with convenience in mind. Most of my other vacuums have had issues that I find inconvenient... often minor, but after repeated use they become a bit of a nuisance to me... whether it be the location of the power button, lack of storage options for accessories, or wands that require assembly/disassembly before and after each use. So far, it's been nearly a month and I haven't found anything I don't like about this vacuum.

Considering how small it is, I'd love to see a wall mount for it, but that would be nitpicking. I wouldn't recommend this to someone with a lot of rooms to clean as the waste canister is, of course, small as well. Otherwise, a great vacuum overall.

This is perfect for light, quick cleaning jobs like cat hair on the carpet or litter box overflow.  I have a serious vacuum for deep cleaning but this is great to run on the wood floors or to do a quick hit on the carpet before company shows up.  It lasts long enough to do at least 1,000 sq. ft. of floor.  I like how easy it is to clean out the canister too.  I charge it up and then leave the battery in the machine until the next use.  I had read about someone having a problem when they left the battery in the charger instead. I like it very much and would recommend it for light household cleaning chores.
