Bagless Upright

It is always a pleasant surprise, whenever we find something that is actually worth more than it costs. The feeling can be similar to finding our own little secret treasure. Sometimes, finding such a bargain can even cause a little guilt, and make you feel sorry for the manufacturer. Of course, it does not cause too much guilt.

The Powerforce Bagless Upright, by Bissell, is such a treasure. Available at many outlets for less than $50, it is definitely one of the most attractive vacuums available, and certainly, the best vacuum we ever tested in this price range. With power and features rivaling products costing twice (and sometimes 3x) as much, we are left to wonder what the catch is. How is Bissell actually making money on this particular vacuum cleaner? I am at loss, as I have no idea.

The Powerforce Bagless Upright was not exceptional in most tests we conducted, save the one many users feel is most important – suction power. This thing is a monster. It outperforms units costing hundreds of dollars in raw suction power. It blew through all of our dirt and pet hair tests, like nothing we have ever seen in an inexpensive vacuum model. In addition to its exceptional power, the Powerforce Bagless performed respectfully in the remainder of our tests.

Vacuum reviews can often be subjective, and based on a reviewer’s own tastes and biases. In addition, I must admit I like cheap vacuums with a lot of power. Therefore, if you find this particular vacuum review slightly skewed or biased, so be it. This model is awesome for the price.

There is not a like not to like about this unit. You would be correct to point out that it does not have some features and fancy attachments that are often included with vacuum cleaners that are more expensive. However, I would counter that many of those more expensive machines could not hold a candle to the Powerforce Bagless, when it came to cleaning a large banquet room, after a group teenagers were finished with it.

While I was doing my research on this model, I found that this is one of the biggest selling models among professional cleaning service customers. I made some phone calls and shot out some emails, and the remarks were all very similar. This is the only unit many of them will buy. They simply do not care that the unit is rather loud or that the power cord is a little shorter than on some models (They simply add a $5 extension cord). The language I heard repeatedly was “it just works” and “Man, does that thing really suck the dirt” Also, I heard many stories of these units having been in service for five years or more. Something makers of many vacuum cleaners costing much more cannot claim.

So, let us review what we have learned in this particular vacuum review. The Bissell Powerforce Bagless Upright costs under $50, it has more suction power than anything even close to its price does and cleaning services swear by them. Wow, it sounds like a treasure of a value to me.
