Well the Lift-Off used the standard type of Bissell bagless system for it's time, so it's not just the Lift-Off that has problems. The dust separation is so bad that Bissell had to install two practically hidden pre-motor filters, and the HEPA filters become dirty very quickly. You should really wash the filters after every few uses. That doesn't bother me too much, but the normal user will probably never see the filters.
But, they are very good carpet cleaners as it is a two-motor vacuum. They are worth keeping just for the lift-off feature. Very unique. |

I have a bissell lift off, which i love dearly! They are very nice big vacuums suited to vacuum large places efficently and quickly. They groom good and the suction is more than enough to lift up the carpet! |

I do know Bissell made a bagged Lift-Off in the late 90's. |

Their first lift-off cleaner! Vacuumman206 (vacmaster) has one!
Has a 2750 years back, bought it at a garage sale when I was young. They tossed out the "Bottom part", and I took home the canister for $1. Got a bunch of vacuums then, and would've came home with a truckload or 2 of them If I started digging around in the PILES of vintage junk as I do today! |

I found one of those bagged Lift Offs at a thrift store last year. I believe it's an early one and it's white and red. It was in decent shape and had all the attachments still, so I bought it. Still need to restore it, needs scuffs and dirt removed and new bags and filter. I did test the canister part and it is quite loud!
