I just bought a Bissell Cyclonic Momentum. It is like the powerforce models Larry Capitoni has recommended for years, but with no filters to clean -- which IMO is a bit of a pita with the older Bissell's. It is also HEPA, and comes with a handy little turbo tool for stairs or upholstery, all for $100 or less ($100 regular price, I paid $70 on sale).
I like the powerforce vacs that I bought very cheap on Larry's recommendation - thank you Larry! I have 3 of them, along with a Sanitaire. But keeping the filters clean on the Bissell's is a bit of a hassle. They clean great, and have been very reliable. And I like that for the $50 or $60 price tag they are expendable (even though I still have my original blue model which I just can't seem to kill).
This new model is an ugly brown color, but it cleans great, and did I mention there are no filters to clean!?!?
It is not perfect. The beater bar cannot be turned off to do stairs or upholstery, the cord is a bit awkward, and I'm sure I will find a few other things that are annoying. But for the price, so far I like it. It seems to be modeled after the Dyson.
Anyone else try one of these yet? I have only used it for about a week. Any other new vacuums out there that are comparable?
