We have tried quite a few different models of the Bissell canister vacuums and they work pretty well! I like that you can take off the vacuum head for hard to reach areas. I wish the cord was longer though as I always have to unplug and replug in different rooms of our house, and the big canister wheels sometimes get stuck on wall corners as I’m moving around the house. It may not be the perfect vacuum for us because of those two issues but it’s an affordable vacuum that gets the job done.
