A Cheaper Alternative

Best Buy had this adapter for almost $90. This one is fraction of the cost and works fine with my Toshiba Satellite L305-S5944. Hope that it holds up.

These seem to work just as well as name brand, but are much less expensive!

Sealer works well with replacement rolls or bags readily avbl. for a cheap cost.  Good Alternative to more expensive products.

This is decent coffee, an overall acceptable alternative to Nespresso capsules when in a pinch. Plus it *is* convenient to be able to order them on Amazon.  But are this tiny savings worth it? Not really. Nespresso is still a superior product. This espresso is a little weaker, the crema less impressive. I'd try another roast/flavor, but I think I'll stick with the real thing.

I am a Dyson advocate. This Bissell is an okay affordable alternative.  The Bissell 1305 Powerglide Pet Vacuum has many of the same great features of a Dyson:  easy switch from carpet to floor, hose with pet tool, filtration system for allergens, cyclonic system, bag less canister, and equivalent maneuverability.  (Side note:  normally, I do not compare items in my reviews.  I made an exception for this vacuum review because the items are so similar and the Bissell is a more cost effective product for those wanting a Dyson with the same features, but without the cost.)
1.  The easy switch.  On my Dyson I do have to bend over to switch from carpet to hard floor and turn the knob on the brush bar.  This Bissell has a little flip switch the on top of canister to turn off the beater brush. I don't have to bend over; easy peasy.
2.  The hose (and when using pet tool) is a little odd and more labor intensive to detach from the main unit.  Actually, it annoys me and is the main con of this vacuum.  You actually have to detach and reattach hoses in order to switch to the accessory tools. I do this a lot, especially when needing to reach into the crevices throughout the room.  The pet tool is okay.  Dyson definitely is superior for use with their pet tool.
3.  Bissell states the tested allergens was within 5% of acceptable range.  I have no way to test this function or disagree with those results.  I have to assume this is accurate information.  If this is a consumer concern, Dyson states that they certified Asthma and Allergy friendly by the Allergy and Asthma foundation of America.  Therefore, I would conclude Dyson to be superior in this category.
4.  There is a similar type of cyclonic system in both.  I have no expertise or opinion on which is better.
5.  They both have a bag less canister, which I like.  You don't have to buy bags; you can see everything you pick up, which means all those little Lego pieces sucked up can be rescued from the vacuum.  There is some maintenance with the canister.  You do have to clean it out every so often.  Easy to do, just kind of yucky if you think about what gets sucked up in there.spiders at our house.
6.  Same maneuverability:  very similar products in this category.  Im ambivalent.
I did want to address two other things:  Febreze filter and weight.  I find having the Febreze filter a nice touch because those of us with dogs that don't get bathed on a regular basis knows they don't smell very good all the time.  Therefore, the hair they shed gets sucked up in the vacuum can make the vacuum have a permanent funky odor.  My oldest Dyson (I have had for 10 years) has such a smell.  I contacted Dyson and they told me to put a Febreze Downy dryer sheet into the canister.  It helped mask the smell for a couple of weeks and then it was time to change it again.  The Bissell recommends changing the Febreze scented filter every 3 to 6 months.  I don't think it could possibly last that long.  The filters could add up if the smell bother you, however I just gave those readers a cheaper way to solve the smell problem.
Many other reviewers were complaining about the weight of the machine.  It does weigh in at a hefty 17 pounds, which is the equivalent of my Dyson vacuum too.  Yes, it can be a burden lugging it up and down the steps.  If you are unable to lift and carry 17 pounds, this is not the vacuum for you.
Overall, its a pretty good vacuum.  I would definitely recommend it, especially if you are looking for Dyson qualities at a more affordable price.

Get it - you don't need a pricey version of the same thing.

seems to work but other product do as well at less cost.

not quite as good, but a reasonable substitute for Fein blades. You cannot beat the price.

Works great, but you can get an equivalently valuable product from Target for a couple of dollars less.

Found a cheaper solution, though this is a good quality product.

This is a way better alternative to the plastic versions.

It is a bit cheaper material than I would have hoped for the price.  But, considering what you pay for a real wooden jewelry box, it is a pretty good alternative.

Cheaper than FF but the quality is lower. The upside is you get a lot, so you can replace. They also make 1 or 2 odd sizes that FF do not.

No complaints, there were more expensive options available, but this works just fine.

There are other alternatives that don't overpower you with sweet/coconut flavor.

A subpar yet serviceable mass-produced substitute for the richer and more organic, hand-woven Mandated Expense Recompensation Charges you can find abroad, though an unseasoned local consumer is unlikely to notice the difference in quality.  But I suppose you take what they'll give you here at home.

This is the premiere product for this purpose, the only downside is it's unreasonably high cost. Unfortunately, I know of no equivalent alternatives at this time.
