5-star wonder!,
A neighbor whose son has asthma recommended this when our old vacuum bit the dust, so to speak. The other had a filter that needed to be removed and cleaned after every use. These filters don’t. The other had a dust cup much smaller than this one, so I’d have to empty it twice with each use. The tools are all on the vacuum, work wonderfully, and are arranged well. I used to hate using the hose and attachments, but I like doing it now!

|Didn’t realize my carpet was that dirty!!!,
UPDATE: I’ve vacuumed my apartment every other day since my last review. I am happy to say it’s running as good today as it has the day I got it. It still picks up an amazing amount of dirt, and I have not had to change the HEPA media filter yet (although I can already see discoloration-I will probably by a reusable this May).
I received my Bissell 22C1 from Amazon today so my review will be my immediate views and I plan to update this once again later on this winter. As a quick background our household had 2 adults and a medium haired cat living in an apartment with white, poor quality carpet. We both suffer from allergies.
Assembly & Parts:
When the package first arrives it requires minimum assembly. The filters are all in the correct places already, and the one tool you need is a screwdriver to screw the vacuums handle onto the body. It took more time opening the boxes than it took to put the vacuum together. The cord is long enough to vacuum my living room.
Test drive:
Since you have to screw the handle onto the body, the power switch is on the side of the vacuum, which seemed kind of weird to me.
I honestly cannot believe how much dirt it picked up from my carpet (both hair and dust). My carpet has always looked dirty, but after vacuuming it looks like the color lightened up by one shade. Of course it wont work miracles, but I am so much more satisfied with my carpet than I was before. Even when vacuuming the edges of the carpet (along the wall), the vacuum gets very close to the wall. It’s not to the point where you wont need to use the crevice tool every once in a while, but at least you wont have to worry about it constantly.
Cleaning the dirt container is extremely easy! My old bagless vacuum made me take a tank out of the body, and lift the filter out of the tank before I was able to toss the dirt out. With this tool all you do is slide a knob from the left to right, then the tank is easy lifted away from the body and dumped out without having to touch anything gross inside.
In case you’re wondering about how much parts will cost with the unit:
the part number for the ‘Style 9 Drive Belt’ (2 pack) is 32074
Standard headlight Bulb: 203-1297
Style 16 outer circular pre-motor filter: 69B1
Style 7/9/16 HEPA media filter: 32076
Style 7/9/16 Post motor filter: 3099
The manual gives directions on how to replace all bulbs and filters, as well as details on how to service it (yourself) and common vacuum issues like fixing a clog.
So far the vacuum’s been great. I’m happy I purchased it and would recommend it. Great product for the price! And the manual is very helpful so hopefully in the future I wont have to bring it into the repair shop!
