Is it worth while replacing brush rolls for these units or are they nearing their end of life at this point?

I saw our favorites sitting on an endcap display at wally world for 59 bucks last week in Victoria

The brush roll plastic end caps get warped from hot bearings about a week or two before the motor blows.


Dont bother.

nah, pitch it and buy a bright shinny new one, cause if you used it enough to wear down the roll brush that it's no longer effective...you got your money's worth

So which is the best Bissel? I've always stuck with the $49 blue one, but it seems like there are half a dozen different models, pet hair, multi cyclonic bla bla, are they all going to last about the same as the cheap one?

They are basically the same vacuum. I like the attachment for pre vac-ing uph, outside of that the blue is just as good.

Some have hepa filters which I think would be a PITA.

best in what category ??

The "best" Bissel is probably the Healthy Home model.
It's sealed very well with good HEPA.
Cogged belt with on/off for roll brush.
also automatic roll brush shut off when you pull the attachment hose
It's HEAVY and needs periodic disassembly to clean the vac chambers cyclonic tubes .


"best" all around Bissel IMO is the Momentum .
Only one filter to clean and very little lose of suction as a result .
Very easy to clean the one filter.
The HEPA filter is no big deal...cause there's enough blow by on any cheap vac to make HEPA a joke

Ya I agree on the Momentum too. I have tried almost all of them and am now looking for another Momentum (currently using pet hair).
