It wouldn't work at all so took out brush roll & cleaned it & all the impacted junk up hose filled w hay & grit
plugged it in & it worked fine so decided to clean it all up hoping to add anbother to my collection & just to see maybe it worked better than some of mine
just finished cleaning up the badly clogged dirty bissell 3576.1 cleaned in the tub all the filters n everything just to find it runs only wo the brushroll installed
seems one end is out of shape so its not rotating
arrgh good machine but I don't want to invest $18 in a brush roll just to see how the vac works Its not rated high & can be bought under $100
2 hours wasted!

unfortunately with most of the new disposable vacs(at least in my area)people throw them away because they are broken beyond repair. Only ones I find are worth picking up is the older Hoover and Eureka uprights along with other older vacs because they are typically thrown out because people upgraded to a new throw away bagless model.Sorry for your luck I too have had that problem in the past.
