Does a great job but moves back

Arrived quickly - thank God for the dog. It helps to lift my senior pup and it has the velcro to keep it on as he can't get up - so needs to wear it while sleeping. The only flaw is that is rides back on him and hurts his boy parts-have to be careful before getting him up from a lying state. While walking around I can more easily bring it back towards his neck to help him up the stoop.  Trying to come up with a way to keep it in place. Had I foreseen it, would have gotten one that can be harnessed.
This hand lift does work and is comfortable on him and his old bones. It was my lack of foresight on the movement. It is a great price for the quality - again if I only knew about the lift's movement on his body.

I like the vacuum--strong suction, easy to handle.  I wanted something that would clean up small spills--coffee grounds--or just dust.  This does the job. However, I have found the nozzle extension that folds down to be a little difficult to work with. When you fold it down, it apparently locks into place, which is good (you have to push on it a little).  However, there must be some trick I am missing. When I go to fold it back up, you have to pull it a little and then fold it back. When you pull, there is a tendency for the body of the vacuum to separate and all the dust/dirt you have just vacuumed can fall out. Other than this, it does a good job but I bought it specifically for the narrow nozzle for small spaces...

This vacuum will not take the place of regular vacuuming. You will still need to get in the tight places and corners. It does a great job of getting under dressers and beds where you don't normally vacuum. As stated in other reviews it doesn't do too well on light area rugs. It tends to roll it up as it drives on it. If the rug is smooth and heavy enough, it will transition fine. Self parking feature when the battery is low is probably my favorite feature. I would recommend this for supplemental vacuuming while you are at work. Multiple schedules are programmable.

Does the job, but would be better if switching from one blade to another wasn't so difficult -- it gets stuck sometimes

does a great job, great price; the only issue is that it seems to have "favorite" spots and you need to set the electronic boundaries to keep it from cleaning (really well) the same area and ignoring others.

Cleaning power is definitely five stars.  It's almost too powerful as it's hard to vacuum small area rugs without sucking the rug in.  I took off a star because (1) the on/off switch is pretty far down the chassis so you always have to bend down to engage it, and (2) while one operates the machine standing behind the unit, the handle for carrying it from place to place is on the front.  Would seem like two simple ergonomic issues that Bissel could pretty easily fix.

Well made and does the job.  Gave only four stars because it did not work for me ergonomically.  I'm used to peeling in a side swiping or peeling motion, this took us a downward movement like a shaving motion.

We like it but after using a central vacuum for 30 years it is hard to get accustomed to one of these. It does a better than expected job on our oriental rugs and is light-weight. The wood floors never get scratched from dragginga definite plus.  I hate doing the stairs but the cord is extra long and conveniently retracted into the main compartment. It is expensive but hopefully the last vacuum we ever buy! I may change the review after we use it a few more months if we see improvement.

As far as steamers go this is about as good as it gets. However, after owning it for a few years now there are a couple of things I would change. *I Purchased this a few years back from a big department store while on sale.

-The fabric covered tube is supposed to be cool-touch but it's definitely not after about 15 minutes of use, be careful or you WILL burn yourself!
-The unit is supposed to site easily on the top like in the picture but after years of use I can tell you it often falls off and has twisted itself up so it requires some effort to get it to stay put
-The additional provided steaming heads are junk- the brush one started to fall apart after the first year and the delicate mop head prevents enough steam from getting through to the garment
-The roll down pressing pad is a nice touch and comes in handy but you still have to move the garment around since the unit isnt' wide enough for pants or a dress shirt to fit on so be careful not to burn yourself again. You'll also be best suited to just use your own clothing hanger on the clop vs trying to use the pants clips since again- it's not wide enough to hold most things.

Things I love:
-It provides an amazing amount of steam, and heats up VERY fast
-The foot pedal to shut it on and off while switching out garmets is nice
-The adjustable pole system is great for storage (although it's difficult to store the steaming tube and head when the pole is in the down position)
- I'm not sure how to get the calcium buildup out of the unit since I've been using it for a few years now.
-Love the rolling wheels so I can steam my drapes and such

I like that it goes 360 around. The one objection I have is that the groves are not deep enough and sometimes it slips out

With the specific features it has right out of the box, it does a great job and is very sharp!  However, we really wish there was more flexibility with usage and accessories.  We chop nuts often and this is not the answer for that because the chopper doesn't have any attachment to chop in an enclosed environment.  You can only chop in the open cup provided.  We have made it work most of the time, but tend to make a mess and not get the finely chopped size we got with another model.  I went online to search for other accessories and there aren't any for this model.  But you get what you pay for, this model is not expensive at all.  Just wish there was a covered version of the chopping cup.

I want to love this- and I think it may be the best product on the market. The 5 lines is a really really good feature and this is reasonably heavyweight.  There is just too much movement in the T for me to give it 5 stars.  You have to be careful when putting clothes on it to load it evenly, or the T will rotate and the lines will dip.  We set ours in concrete and used it for 3 years- even with the concrete ours bent toward each other after 3 years of tightening the lines.  So watch out for that.  I would probably still buy it again but only if I couldn't find an old metal country one first.

Great product, takes some getting used to. Great for pants, great for shirts except for the upper back area. It's a big machine so it Does take up a lot of real estate.

This floor brush was actually purchased to use on our walls and ceilings. And for that, it does a fantastic job! One concern was that the wheels would leave marks behind but I haven't had that problem at all.

The only drawback is that it obviously doesn't fit all vacuums. We have an Eureka Optima and it is just a tiny bit too big. This is rectified by adhering it with masking tape - I wrap it all the way around at the fitting so that no suction is lost. This works great but is just a bit inconvenient. And you then lose the capability to change tools easily.

I received a Neato XV-12 unexpectedly as a gift about a year ago after using iRobot Roombas for several years without problems, and I can honestly say it does a wonderful job. I use it mainly on carpet for picking up cat hair, and it does very well at this task. And it always finds its way home to the docking station for recharging after it finishes cleaning. I barely have to do anything with it except empty the dustbin after each use.

Unfortunately, it does have some drawbacks:

1. The brush it comes with, a rubber-only one, is extremely loud on hard floors, and I ended up importing a brush that has bristles from the German version of the robot, the Vorwerk VR100, (this is identical to the Pet version for sale now) and it is now much quieter.
2. The magnetic tape it uses for a boundary marker is hard to work with, and inconvenient to set up.
3. It is rather loud, and watching TV or doing some other activity in the same room that the robot is in is practically impossible.

Overall, I would recommend purchasing a Neato if you need a powerful robotic vacuum and are willing to work around its few flaws.

It does a great job as others have mentioned in other reviews, but be aware it will catch on all sorts protrusions and gaps between body panels, pulling out the threads in the process. It doesn't seem to affect the utility of the duster, but something to be aware of nonetheless so you can be careful around the edges.

I love the power of this mixer and the different whisk attachment, but I'm giving it 4/5 stars because the on button goes right to left and no matter how hard I try to get used to it, it's very backwards, it is normal for most right handed people to push something left to right to turn it on, so I'm always pushing the wrong way. I've never had a mixer or tool go that direction and it just feels so backwards.
