I will say out right this little Bissel Stick Vac does and excellent job in cleaning and is much more vacuuming pick up power than I had figured on. The first day I used my Bissel Stick Vac it performed very well out of the box. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, with a small living room and a kitchen with linoleum floor. It is an older-building constructed back in 1965 according property tax records. So the outside structure is failing apart. I live on the top floor of this 2 floor apartment complex with 19 units in total. The apartments are not enclosed so the upper concrete walk way has railings and covered by protective awnings but open air design still exposure to wind, rain, sunlight and other elements.
Anyways the amount of dust and dirt the Bissel Vac picked up was amazing. The filter was literally caked with dust and dirty like a dirty snowball or Cotton Candy you find at a carnival vendor. Believe me I keep my apartment clean as a matter of principle, so I mop and clean on a daily basis so things do not accumulate. I could dust more but this unit I live in does NOT have central A/C or Heating. This apartment is cooled and heated by mounted wall units. The A/C unit is permanently mount half way from the inner wall to the outside ear my front door. It is an older model and NOT very energy efficient by todays standard. However it is closed end unit, meaning it only circulates air that is drawn from within the apartment itself and NOT in-taking Air directly from the outside of the apartment. The outside portion of the Wall A/C is mainly to house the compressor and cooling mechanism units where the refrigeration gases are stored. As well as provide for heat exhaust and exchange for the mechanism itself when in operation. (Sorry do not mean to get off the subject but I just wanted to give potential buyers for the Bissel Stick Vac an idea of the real world environment this product is performing in).
The Bissel's motor and housing assembly also contain the detachable canister where the debris is collected, until the receptacle is cleaned out. The unit is light weight, so it is easy to maneuver in tight areas and is perfect for carpeted or hard floor steps. The Bissel also detaches and as 1 extra attachment a long straight non-flexible nozzle which is great for cleaning the edges of floorboards or hard to reach areas or tight corners that a normal vacuum may not reach. As far as cleaning under couch furniture cushions and around the bed areas where dust and dirt tends to collect around the post or caster feet of the frames or Chest of drawers it does a smash up job in quickly cleaning those hard to reach areas. However the straight non-flexible attachment is NOT very long just maybe 1 foot in length so you will not be able to reach areas that are more than an adults arm length to reach.
I have lived nearly 2 years in this current apartment, and the edges of my matted carpet and floorboards have never been cleaner than after using the Bissel Stick Vac. The roommate I had before this was lazy and did not vacuum him self a all. So I inherited a rather dirty apartment by my standards , when he moved out earlier last year. I just hope I do not find any other "hidden" damage in the unit that he is responsible for before I moved in.
To get to the point here my summary of the Bissel Stick Vac model 2033.
PROS
1. Very good value for the money
2. For a small stick Vac it has incredible cleaning power, it truly picked up much of the dirt, dust that is ground in
to this carpet. (Obviously this carpet has not been shampooed in quite some time by the previous tenants
which means not in the last 5-7 years give the tenant history of this unit.)
3. Very Light weight unit, easy to use and get into tight or difficult areas where you may not be able to move
heavier furniture by yourself. (So it is perfect gift for perhaps older or senior or people with health issues who
can not use a heavier vacuum. As well as College Students who are always on the go or committed to their
studies and have little time to spare. since it makes cleaning easier and will give students an incentive to NOT
neglect their living areas and take 10- 15 mins just to tidy up on a daily basis.)
4. This is my personal favorite feature. NO infamous rubber drive belt to worry about. Those Serpentinian drive
belts, which are on traditionally Upright vacuum rollers. Which if you have ever had to change a drive belt out
it can be a messy and unpleasant chore; as well as expensive. Since many vacuum drive belts can be expensive
as well as difficult to find if the unit is older or the model has been discontinued.
5. Easy storage , as the Bissel Stick Vac has a standard power cord which will roll up on the bracket handles and
store away easily in a coat closet which may many large heavy coats that make reaching into the back of the
closet difficult. It takes up very little space when you need to store it while not in use!
6. Easy clean up and maintenance! The dirt container easily detaches from the mounting clips so you may access the small HEPA filter and dump all the Dirt ad Debris into the garbage. The unit is also good for picking smaller objects like paper clips or push pins or even small coins in the event you accidently knock over some from your office desk and do not want to throw the items away and they may have spilled all over the place. Since the Debris the vacuum picks up does not pass through the motor itself and NO moving parts like rollers near the vacuums nozzel so the will not jam and cause the motor to overheat or cause a short circuit because the motor has seized which is a definite fire hazard! The Dirty canister is placed in before the motor assembly and has a solid filter so no small debris like nuts, bolts, small screws or paperclips can enter into the vacuum's motor housing itself.
CONS
1). The dirt collection container ahs a small capacity so if you use it as the "main" vacuum cleaning tool, then you will need clean it out thoroughly depending on how dirty the floor is or what you are vacuuming up. As a general of thumb this vacuum is best suited for smaller apartments that have no more than 2-3 rooms with a matted or shallow carpet. I would NOT recommend this vacuum for high pyled, shag or very high-end expensive carpets. NOR would I recommend this vacuum as the main tool for houses with more than 3 rooms. Though it does a excellent job for small chores or detail work around difficult tight corners or heavier furniture;. You will want a more traditional vacuum with a 30 AMP motor or better if you live in a large home or have a carpet or floor that is notoriously harder to vacuum.
2) The floor nozzle assembly does NOT have any special in-take or moving bristles to collect suborn dirty, dust
or debris, which ironically lends itself to the light weight of the Bissel Stick Vac which allows the user to
maneuver the floor nozzle so the in-take can vacuum the dirt and debris up. You can also detach the unit from
the handle and use it like a hand held dust buster like vacuum and use the nozzle attachment to get to the
floorboard edges and tight corners So if you are vacuuming in a flat straight line you will need to on an open
carpet or floor you will need to use a technique that will cover the smaller width of the active cleaning area of
the floor nozzle when you do use the unit as it will NOT vacuum wide swaths of carpet or floor when the
vacuum is in use. Which makes it a bit safer to use around plugged in power cords ad power strip-surge
protectors in a home or small office settings. The power cords will not be entangled in power rollers which
could cause severe damage to the vacuum the office equipment and a strong possibility of electrocution to the
operator.
+++++++++++++++++++++ Summary of the Bissel Stick Vac Model 2033 ******************************
I would recommend buying this product for small chores or if you live in building with a simple floor plan with no more than 3 bedrooms or does NOT have a plush, or expensive carpets like a real Perishing rug! That would be insane! That would be like using an SOS steel wool pad on a Rembrandt or Vincent Van Gogh painting! Which would be INSANE! It is a great cleaning tool for the money and an excellent value for the price I paid!

BEST EVER, w/MY SECRET!
First of all, this new model’s inserted screen/filter is made of mesh, rather than the older model (which I now use in my garage for little jobs) made of a flimsy cloth. The filter on this one is awesome.Secondly, I must explain that I have a rescue brindle retriever & 2 dachshunds who constantly drops hair on my white bare tile floors as well as on my large living room rug. I hate that. BUT, I’ve figured out a way to collect EVERY SINGLE hair I see on my rug (which is pretty dark making the hair easy to see & it bothers me! lol).Anyway, my secret is to cut a thin piece of the “sticky side”, the “gritty side” of a piece of Velcro, NOT the fuzzy side. Superglue it to the bottom of the vacuum, in front on the underside (see photo). When vacuuming just slide the vacuum back and forth fast. That piece of Velcro catches the hair that doesn’t get immediately sucked up in the canister! Voila! Every now and again, flip the vacuum over and pull off the hair and let it get sucked into the canister!The key to a “hair-free”, “dirt-free” floor/rug is the Velcro piece. It catches everything.The 2nd important thing to remember when vacuuming with the Velcro piece in place is to slide the vacuum back & forth fast several times!The 3rd & final key to a spotless floor/rug/carpet is to clean the filter thoroughly AND the canister after every use. I run mine under a hot spray of water and gently rub/pull off the hair still stuck. I wash out the canister and the bottom of the vacuum itself at the same time, then let them dry.I sure hope this helps you. I’m very happy with this new model and my other older ones….
