We use this daily on our fully tiled house. It has great suction and is super light weight. The weight and fun color make it hard to take seriously- it looks like a toy- but it is powerful and the “forked” shape is weirdly helpful getting tight places. The head pivots as well so maneuverability is awesome. Light enough for me to use with a bad shoulder and fun for our 11yo kid to use cheerfully.
Our lab sheds like crayyyzzzzyy and this is so much more effective on the pervasive fur than the specially purchased flat floor brush on the bagged vacuum hose or a broom. We still use the other vacuum on the area rugs since this little stick only does flat floors- alas. We also have several family members with long hair and this vacuum is the winner for long hairs as well.
The dust cup is easy to empty, and we also brush off the black foam filter ring every time as well. I believe the filter getting clogged with fine dust might be responsible for many of the poor reviews regarding low suction. This is a user maintenance issue and so far keeping the foam filter clean has worked for us.
We also live in the country and mud and pebbles and grass clippings get tracked in daily. This vacuum takes it all. Sometimes a dry leaf will not flex enough to get pulled in, but this is my worst complaint so far.
The cord is plenty long. If you choose your electrical outlet carefully, you can do two good size rooms without replugging. Replugging is a small price to pay for endless run time and constant power vs plugless models.
I recommend and will repurchase if/when we ever use this vacuum to death.

Great for Kwik pickup
I am very gentle when using my equipment the handle however is very loose and about to come off and you cannot tighten the screws to make it more secure the white handle is creating powder on my floors every time I vacuum. Other than that has worked great in the past year

We had our hardwood floors refinished and were warned to not use brush vacuums, so this perfectly fit the bill. When it arrived, I put it to quick use all over the upstairs where we had been cleaning. A week in and I notice it is not working well, and I can see there is no suction. Turns out, I had been sucking up a LOT of spillover from the paper shredder and it had formed a clog in the back tube that goes from the floor, up the back, and into the canister. A friendly woman at the Bissell Customer Support line helped walk me through cleaning it out -- and I had to basically get my fingers -- and a bent paper clip -- up into the little hole where the debris enters the canister to pull out the clogs a little at a time.
In addition to the shredded paper there was a bunch of hair. So clearly I had tried to suck up way too much at once and caused a giant clog in the machine. Once I cleared it, it was perfect again.
So be careful and remember that this is for general floor cleaning, and not for big messes like an overloaded paper shredder. :-D. I love how well it works around corners and furniture legs. Great little machine and perfect for my beautiful hardwood!
