CJM: Got my order today and it arrived missing parts. Doesn't make me feel like this is going to be a good purchase.

MARTINI: Our Dyson was stolen along with our 2020 Bentley. Bentley recovered, but no vacuum. Bought this Sanitaire and our maid says it is twice the vacuum as was the Dyson. Franchette highly recommends!!!

Symbols Of LoveSymbols Of Love: The media could not be loaded.  Before I get started, I do like this vacuum cleaner! Most of this unit seems to be well made metal construction. It’s a simplistic design, simple durable functionality. However... as I was putting it together I noticed 3 minor flaws.

1. Flipping over the main head of the machine you’ll notice the area where the bag attaches to the main head is entirely made of plastic, as is the bag vent/housing that attaches to the plastic port on the main head of the unit.
A foam gasket was used and stuck on with double sided tape where the exhaust screws to the plastic manifold. This gasket had slipped off center because the double sided tape didn’t hold well, and therefore when I screwed the two pieces together there was a gap where air, debris would have leaked past. So, I had to remove the screws and recenter the gasket and screw it back down again. A rubber gasket would have been nice where the foam gasket was used. And the I’m not entirely sold on the plastic vent from the bag which bolts to the plastic manifold/head, I guess time will tell if it will last or crack in that area.

2. The main handle/shaft set of holes were not...

Snow Dog Dad: I have always been impressed with Bissell / Sanitaire vacuum cleaners. The Sanitaire line is mostly designed as commercial vacuums for cleaning large areas. Thu, they have powerful motors that generate lots of suction. This is my second Sanitaire vacuum, the other still works extremely well. My house is quite large so it is best to keep a vacuum on the lower level. I have 2 Siberian Huskies, so.... fur. And carpet.

This vacuum has a 50' cord so it can run for a long distance. Unlike some Sanitaire vacuums, this one uses disposable bags, which I like a little more than reusable bags that you must empty. (It uses Sanitaire ST bags or compatible.) The vacuum weighs about 23 pounds so it is not a vacuum you want to carry over long distances. It is medium loud (about like a medium-loud TV volume.) It has a two speed motor so you don't need full speed if you are doing frequently cleanings. Unless, well, that whole Siberian Husky thing....

Given the weight of the vacuum, this is intended for long, straight passes on your carpet. Not that little 5 foot passes that many people do. Since it is heavier, it is not as maneuverable as my old Dyson, so I run it in straight lines...
