I was looking online at vacuums and found this Samsung that looks alot like a Bissell Powerforce bagged. It has a dirt-sensor and a 12-amp motor vs 10 on the Bissell. Plus it's 3 time more expensive. Does anyone know if these two vacuums are related?

a bagless Rubbermaid MaxiGlide that was the same as a bagless Powerforce. it just had a longer, commercial cord. I don't remember what happened to that though. I don't think it ever even worked.

Wouldn't be the first time the same things appeared under different brands, but from the pictures, they do look similar, but not the same, there's a fair few differences to my eyes to say they're the same, even on a small picture... :)

Samsung makes all of Bissell's full-size uprights, the Versus stick vac and DigiPro canister.

Samsung also made a commercial version of this bagged powerforce. I sold a few in my shop. Good for the money but not much commercial about it ( same as most commercial vacuums these days).

Ironic, I just dumpster dived a powerforce today, 30 minutes cleaning, unclogging, polish up, its fine! Almost looks new.

Philip & Scott, Bissell & Rubbermaid weren't the only na

Samsung made two versions of their uprights for Fakir in Germany.

-The red bagged Samsung upright on the left side was the Fakir 1105 Electronic Combivac. Only differences between this Samsung & the Fakir was the stretch hose, electronic speed control dial mounted just above the bag cover, & it was produced in gray. Otherwise identical machines.

-The original Bissell Cleanview was the Fakir 1205 BL Bagless Combivac. The only differences between the Bissell & Fakir versions, is that the Fakir uses the Samsung powerhead. It was produced in cherry red, as above, & gray.

It appears that Fakir discontinued the uprights back in 2008, as that's the last time it appears in an online product catalogue for Fakir products, & it doesn't appear anywhere on the website.

I am posting a pic of the Fakir Bagless from a website, & the online product catalogue. Both uprights are on page 15 of the catalogue.
