I gotta' give them props for trying to innovate! Retail starts at $249, a high price for a household vacuum from them. I think the brush and bin design look solid. Fat brushrolls tend to cope better with long hair, unlike many new vacuums today (Sharks for instance are super aggressive, but wrap hair around their helix brushrolls quickly).

The short wand with built-in tools have me concerned, and I pray they spent the extra pennies in manufacturing to seal the filters.

It's a shame that Bissell invented and owned the "lift-off" style vacuum for years, and now Shark is selling them by the cargo freight-load, and they're better products. Bissell's latest lift-off machines have continued to be a high-maintenance mess, with tools that are super cumbersome to use.

Hopefully they're onto some good ideas here, that they can roll with!

It cost them less

than twenty dollars to make it and thirty to ship it here. It's worth $50, no more than. Three to five year life span on average like any modern Bissel, Hoover, etc. product.
If they stand behind it Like Shark does, they may be on to something.

This time next year, Tuesday Morning will have them for about $89.

Yes,

oh I miss Tuesday Morning. They closed up here during the recession.
They had heavy copper cookware from France once. It was still very pricey, but you never will see them again for even $200 each, or for two.

I worked for TM for six years. A couple of locations in this area have opened and closed over the past few years, but they're still going strong around here.

I saw some feedback on a Facebook page that this vacuum was hideous. I think it's actually kinda stylish and neat looking. I'd be curious to try it. I don't own any bagless vacs but I have used several over the years and tolerate using them. I do prefer bagged machines though.
