If you're looking for a fantastic vacuum that is BETTER then a Dyson, and is also about a 1/4 of the cost of a Dyson, then I've got the one for you.........the Bissell Heavy Duty........this thing is amazing........lifetime belt, bagless, two motors and suction power you would not believe..........for all floors and the cost......under $150........I own a Dyson and I just gave it to my daughter, I LOVE THIS BISSELL............the last vacuum I was really impressed by was the Fantom Thunder, until they sold the company..........best vacuum I ever owned.........until now.............................................raven

I was checking the reviews on Amazon which say it is very heavy and clogs often. Is this not your experience raven?

it IS heavy.........there is no denying that........but clog, NO.........when I first went to use it, I didn't see a sock under the couch till the last moment........the next thing I knew that sock was up and spinning around in the canister........and this was one of hubs tube socks........I would have thought that would have brought to whole show to a stop, but nope..........I also like that I can turn the brushes off for my laminate floors.......I haven't had a problem with it clogging at all.......but it IS heavy, I just look at it as my exercise for the day......free weights LOL.....................................raven

Gotcha...Thanks for the info. I too have a Dyson which I love but one day will have to replace. I have had the Dyson about 9 years and it has never lost suction.

bbr, I had two Fantom Thunders. They were the best!

I like my little light weight Shark that I got at Home Depot.

I gotta put in my two cents worth: I've had my Rainbow for 19 years now--it still works like it did when it was brand new! I've never seen a vacuum that cleans as well as a Rainbow.

I have a Bissell that I used only a few times. It is so heavy that I did not want to use it. Now it is in the Shed. It is almost brand new. I think I used it 3 times. I have a Shark Rotator Professional and it is the best I have ever used.

I had the Fantom Thunder too. When the motor burned out, I bought a heavy duty Bissell. It is heavy, but it really works well...especially on the pet hair. Lots of suction...no clogs.
