I hate cleaning it but it has lasted over 2 years ...

I've had this roaster for 2 yrs and 4 mos. now and have not had a single issue with it.

It's a long life compared to other reviews I've read. It may be because when I purchased it and read the manual, it spoke a lot about fires, especially if it's not clean. So after every roasting I clean it thoroughly. I turn the whole thing upside down to knock out any chaff and then vacuuming it out. I hate cleaning it but it has lasted over 2 years so I guess it's a wise thing to do. Plus I never had a fire.

They say it has a catalytic converter on it or something like that, but it still stinks up the kitchen. It is no where near as bad as when you roast them on a pan or in a popcorn maker. I light some scented candles afterward and it's fine.

I roast a 150 mg of beans at a time for 21 minutes on the timer. This usually takes it over the top line but I have not seen a problem. I roast 3 batches, one right after the other. The instructions do not recommend either of these practices so don't do it or you will most likely break your machine and burn down your house or apartment or maybe your whole neighborhood. After about 3 days of letting the coffee sit in a mason jar it is just incredible. That's if you get the right beans, don't think you'll go wrong getting beans grown in Costa Rica.

It is kind of loud to my ears and as I said before it stinks, but I would recommend it if you are willing to take the time to clean it after every roast.

Lasted about 2 years. I had to order a filter after 9 months, and there was a leak constantly. I always buy Bissell but will be staying away from their steam mops.

I was the type of person that would chew through vacuums every 2 years. I have a cat and a dog that I swear leave more hair on the floor than on them. I have had this vacuum for 2 years now and it is still amazing. My house is mostly hardwood and this has easy to use attachments that actually work. When I initially bought my vacuum, I had just vacuumed the carpet in my house with my old vacuum. When I brought this one home and used it again, I was dusgusted at the amount of dirt still in my carpets! I think I vacuumed for 2 hours that night. I have really bad allergies and this HEPA filter is better than any other. I can vacuum and empty the canister without dying. Its easy to take apart and clean. The 2 filters are easy to access and hand wash. It is light and easy to lug up and down stairs. It has bumpers on the side so you don't mess up your walls. If I had one negative thing to say about it, it would be the catch bar underneath bangs against the vacuum and makes a 'tink, tink, tink' noise when you are vacuuming. It's not bad and most times I don't hear it. I also am not a huge fan of the green color. The older model was blue and I liked that better. I have friends that swear by their dysons. I've used theirs and they don't compare to the Bissel. This one is lighter, has more attachments and in my opinion, better suction. Its internal structure is exactly the same as a dyson. The price is the best difference. $220 for a Bissel vs $600 for a dyson. Hands down, I would buy this again. I have and will again recommend this to friends. 4 friends of mine have bought this after me and they also love it.

Typically my guests kill a vacuum in 1 year.
This is now two years old and still going strong.
I bought a 2nd one for my own use at home.

We have had this for a couple of years.  I only use it a couple of times a year.  Went to use it last night and it sounds awful.  I ALWAYS had leakage problems (both clean and dirty water).  Also it seemed to leave the carpets more wet than the previous cleaner did.  Seems as it needs to be replaced and for the problems I have had I refuse to spend this much.  I will be going with a different machine.

I give this frother 3 stars because it worked great for two years. It was used almost everyday without problems. I guess that paying $99 for two years without a problem is OK but for that amount, I expected this unit to last quite a bit longer, as do most of my appliances. After two years, the unit no longer works properly. When the activation button is pushed, the mixer starts and then the button light flashes and the mixing stops. Sometimes lifting the container off the electrical element and placing it back and then trying again several times will make it work, but mostly not. We have always kept the container off the electrical unit as many have suggested. I guess having the electrical unit separate from the mixing element makes these things prone to failure. We will buy a higher rated unit from a different manufacturer this time.

Like the title says - this little guy was great for two years of frequent use. We use it daily, probably filling it up once a day, sometimes twice. We rinse/wash it (soft sponge, very little detergent, nothing abrasive) once a week or every other week, and use filtered water (britta) to fill it up. In the last month or two, it has started to output some black speckles, and when we washed the pot, larger pieces (like large snowflakes, but grey/black-ish) came out, and it looks like the inner coating is starting to loosen up and flake off or something. It's more noticeable right after the water has boiled (and is swirling around more), and sometimes nothing comes out, but it has gotten annoying enough that we are buying a new unit. This time we'll try the Zojirushi, and we'll upgrade to the larger capacity since we use it so much. For the price, and for the amount of use we got out of it, it's not too bad, but I do think Panasonic appliances usually lasts a little longer than this, so it was a bummer that we only got two years out of it.

I bought this cage a couple months ago, I was happy with it for a while... But every time I go to clean it, it's such a pain!! You have to undo all of the black Velcro on the sides. The bottom liner is NOT a hard surface. It is difficult to clean because the poo stick to the bottom and in the corners. There are so many little hooks on it when you try to take of the lid. This product was definitely not made for convenience.

Ive owned this vacuum for 2-3 years now and I still HATE it. Stupidest design ever!!  Doesnt stand up by itself, and the part that you empty is connected to the cord so you have to drag the cord and canister out to empty it. Pros:  good suction and light weight.

lasted about 2 years, not bad for the price.

I feel awful that it took me this long to write this review. I purchased this item almost 2 years ago and it's still in great condition. It takes a while for the "kinks" to normalize since it's rolled and folded against itself with the vacuum but the corners eventually stay up. I'd suggest turning it once a week until it feels normal so it gets use to being used and hour body feels right.

It is hard to clean. I think I should keep changing the nozzle every year. But my daughter likes it

I purchased this after watching a YouTube video of a satisfied customer.  I owned it for a couple of years and was overall pretty satisfied with it.

Pros:
- Holds a lot of waste
- Foot pedal operation
- Handy scoop hook
- Trash bags are biodegradable (I think)

Cons:
- The lock would sometimes turn freely in use and the trap door that you need to push down to put the waste in the bag would not open when the lock is even partially in place
- The scoop hook fell off after about a year - which is easily fixed with superglue or a command strip or double sided tape
- After 2 years of use, the spring mechanism that holds the inner trap up/closed has failed.  After cleaning it and looking closely, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to reattach it so that it functions again
- The replacement bags are expensive
- The replacement bags can be tricky to install
- Seems like a lot of the bag is wasted when you have to empty the unit

After two years of use, I am saying good-bye to this and going back to a small foot pedal trash can and using plastic grocery bags.

This product worked great when I first got it. I loved that I could set it to clean while I was gone and I would have clean floors when I returned. It was almost as loud as a normal vacuum cleaner, which I did not expect, but it was not an issue since I mostly used it while I was gone.

However, after a few months, it started to find it's way back to the station less regularly. I would more often than not find it somewhere else, completely drained. After observing it, i realized that it won't sense the charging station if it comes at it from certain angles, so it moves the station around for a while. This causes the station to face different directions and Roomba won't be able to dock. So I fixed this issue by securing the station to the ground. Yet I still came home regularly to find it drained somewhere in the house.

Next, the battery died and I had to get it replaced after about a year and a half. Not too big of an issue, aftermarket replacement batteries are available for $25, easy to change.

Now, after about 2 years, it has a lot more issues. Even after securing the station, it won't dock and will keep going until it runs out of battery. I'll watch it as it tries to dock, and it will just run into the station, turn around, and try again. It does this for a while until it forgets about docking and continues cleaning. Also, it will get stuck everywhere now, so every time I try to run it while I'm gone, I have to search for it around the house, pick it up and place it on the dock. So now I just use it to clean a bit but know that it will not dock and I cannot set it to clean every day automatically.

For $500, I was hoping to have a vacuum cleaner that would last a few more years, and now I wish I would have bought a normal vacuum instead.

I bought this over two years ago, and love the way it cleans my carpets.  My family also wanted me to come and do their carpets since mine looked so good. I obliged and have also used it to suck up lots water on my porch from a broken kiddie pool.  I have used it at least 50 times.

My tank has not exactly broken, but there are little plugs on the bottom that are supposed to dispense the water when they are depressed by the machine during operation.  There are crappy little springs that hold them closed when not depressed (think of a retractable ball point pen spring.)  Well my springs have had it.  I have tried to twist them into original shape, but I can't really do it.

I don't know now, after reading all the other reviews, if I should spend the money on another tank (since my hasn't cracked or anything, just the springs.)  I don't want to buy another machine, and using the ones from the grocery store is just a little gross for me...hey, I don't even like my own dirt, let alone someone else's!!!  ha

I suppose that even 40 bucks or so for the tank every few years is cheaper than a new machine or renting, but I may change my mind if the new tank breaks too quickly.  I am guilty of leaving water and cleaner in the tank for months, but only recently have had the drippy leak.  Maybe I will be more careful and actually empty the new one.  I also only use the hottest tap water, not any water that I heated.  I don't know if that may have caused the cracking for some people....maybe I was just lucky.

Overall, I feel that at least I got my money's worth out of the machine.
