So today, I went to my local Wal-Mart and I was walking in the Vacuum Aisle when I came across this huge pile of Bissell Powerforce Compacts! If you look real close, that purple bottle is actually holding that pile up! (I didn't put it there). So knowing me, I bought one to test it out. After testing it for a full week on normal everyday tasks, it's actually pretty good.
PROS: Descent suction compact lightweight good brush agitation picks up very well CONS: can clog easily (depending on what needs cleaned) dirt gets stuck in the bin while emptying filters get gunked up quickly Overall, for a quick clean vacuum, it does the job very well. If you need a compact vacuum for a bedroom/dorm, small living room or small spaces it will be just fine. But if you have a bigger house and you have pets, you will probably want to look into another vacuum. Thanks for reading my review :)

The bagged machines are better. | ||

My mom bought one of those a month or so ago, but when opening the box she realized it was too small to vacuum a whole house of carpet. So she took it back to Walmart and got a Hoover Windtunnel Whole House Rewind from Sears.
This reminded me of the time she was going to buy a Eureka The Boss Superlite (yellow) but it was way too small, so ended up buying a Kenmore Quick Clean bagless upright instead. I think the Bissell Powerforce Compact might be good for area rugs or a dorm room as mentioned above. | ||

I bet those machines might do better in Asian countries, because of how small houses there are. | ||

That's why the commercially-rated products exist. | ||

WOW!
Wow, I am surprised by the amount of feedback from my post!
Now, this thread is in many different directions. So I think I'm going to put my 2 cents into this. singingrainbow has a good point with this. Not saying I don't agree with everyone's replies, but I think his is more educated. These vacs are made for people who need a good clean for a small area, with a small budget. I think this vacuum works really well with that. Small roooms, dorms, and areas are perfect for this vacuum. But for bigger tasks, you would need to look into one of the other Bissell models. In reality, most people cannot afford to drop over $500 for a more "high-end" vacuum. If you had a son/daughter off to collage, would you send them with this vacuum, or a $1,200 Rainbow or a $800 Miele? I think that answer is pretty obvious... So to sum up, I like the conversation so I wanted to add my 2 cents. | ||

Thanks Singingrainbow
Thanks Singingrainbow, always a pleasure!
And to add on the Sanitaire debate... The metal ones from the 90s and older are the best ones in my opinion. I hate the newer Sanitaire, they always have the issue with the suction fan. Every newer Sanitaire I repaired, the suction fan ALWAYS has cracks and chips, and also the suction fan size is WAY smaller then the older ones. The older Sanitaires are better, the suction fans are better and the overall performance is WAY better then the newer ones. And to add insult to injury, the new ones are made from Wafer thin plastic, but the older ones are made from real metal and can last a world war. I have never seen a old Sanitaire with as many problems as the newer ones. In my opinion, the new ones are complete trash.
