When I think of forgotten Bissell products, I'm talking about those that have zero videos of them online. | ||

Bissell Sweep Master
Back in the late '60s/early '70s, Bissell made a stick vacuum called a Sweepmaster. It was very similar to the Hoover Quik Broom. We got one new when I was about six years old and it got a fair amount of use. At some point, it got passed to my grandmother, and then my sister. I haven't seen it in at least 10 or 15 years, so I have no idea whether she still has it. Knowing my sister, it probably got tossed because it was old and therefore useless.

The Bissell Trio is an obvious example due to the recall. | ||

Bissell C4 Cyclonic
Back in 2014, Bissell released the C4 Cyclonic canister vacuum. It was a bagless, multi-cyclonic machine with a power nozzle that cost $300. I actually had one at the time and will link my thread about it below. Unfortunately, not a single video of it exists aside from Bissell's official product and help videos (which are unlisted). Another user reuploaded the product video of the C4 Cyclonic.
Personally, I thought it was a quiet yet powerful machine that picked up a lot. However, after spending a lot of time with the C4, I was not convinced that a canister was any better than an upright. That thing was just too heavy and cumbersome to be dragged around my old house with wall-to-wall carpeting, not to mention that the hose was short and stiff. It didn't follow me around very well, so I had to constantly pull it along. It came with 3 brush attachments pre-clipped to the hose, handle grip and wand, along with a crevice tool that didn't store on-board. The wand was telescopic and made of thick aluminum. The power nozzle was hard to push and pull, and its brushroll always got tangled with hair due to a small diameter. Lastly, the dirt tank was TINY and difficult to empty as debris would get stuck inside, requiring me to pull it out by hand. Ultimately, a couple years after using the C4 off-and-on, I got tired of it, especially after replacing the carpets downstairs with laminate flooring. As part of an effort to consolidate my family's vacuum "collection," I cleaned up the vacuum and donated it to Goodwill. I simply went back to using an upright, and never bought another canister again. CLICK HERE TO GO TO niclonnic's LINK | ||

Beyond the common issues the Proheats are known for, the self-propelled mechanism is another thing to break. Sure it was kind of a neat feature on paper, but it did more harm than good. | ||

If I had to guess this Singer would be an example of right about when they switched to Bissell. The cord and plug is the same on the later Bissell uprights.
