Fun Fact: This thread was supposed to come before my Forgotten Oreck Products thread, but I had trouble finding some forgotten products from Bissell, but I found some, so hooray. This thread is about forgotten and rare Bissell products. Like always, I will start.
-The Powersteamer, this product appears to be made in the early 2000s, We can safely theorize this because Bissell products back then had the Big Logo, just like Dirt Devil then. -The City Sweep: Up until only a few days ago, Bissell used to have a carpet sweeper line called the City sweep. They featured London and Chicago as designs. Remember when I said "Up until a few days ago?", well, that means that it was discontinued recently. Anyways, if you guys know of any forgotten Bissell products, then please feel free to share them. |

It’s a wonderful machine. Probably would be the contemporary crown jewel of anyone’s collection. |

I have only seen like one or two photos, but there is an ALL BLACK Bissell Lift Off bagged vacuum/Plus. Not with the white lift off unit. Think of like the all black PowerForce everyone is familiar with.

A blue Bissell Powerglide Plus. I knew there was a green Powerglide, ivory Powerglide Ultra, and maroon Powerglide Platinum but never have I seen one of these before.

This is the one I was referring to. A rare all black Bissell Plus Lift Off and I think this looks even better than the white and green and white and black. Only found out about this one not so long ago.

I don’t know how forgotten it is but there’s not a lot of mention of the healthy home here.

There was a thread on this unit. Who thought using a Direct Air design for a Carpet Cleaner was a good Idea?

There are several variants of the well known Powerforce line that are pretty rare and therefore mostly forgotten outside of those who still have them and fellow Bissell enthusiasts.
One particularly rare model is the Bissell "Bagless" 6579/6579-1 model. This model came out in early 2005 for a few months and it served as both a bridge from the original entry in the Powerforce Bagless line, the 6594 model, but also served as a prototype for the 6579-2 model that would come out in 2006. Being a prototype model, it doesn't bear the Powerforce name, but rather is just titled the "Bagless"despite obviously being a Powerforce Bagless that is debadged. Besides that, differences include a handle sticker with green background versus the purple one and later on blue, plus green hood with all-white graphics instead of the dark blue hood with colored graphics that would become the common hood design on them for years to come. Another model that is quite rare, is the Canadian Powerforce Bagged that is actually just a Powertrak/Powerglide Platinum in blue and with a plastic hose instead of the premium stretch hose. Unsure of the model number, and I only somewhat recently discovered its existence for the first time when I found this picture online. Here are pictures I found of both: |

Looks like a older Walmart Powerforce from the Late 2000's/Early 2010's.
