    Nice Vacuum

    By MichaelA  Apr 19, 2007 | 7 out of 7 found this Bissell 5770 Healthy Home review helpful

    Pros: It picks up the dog hair.

    Cons: A little heavy

    We have a Jack Russell that loves to shed. We have never been able to get all of the hair up off the carpet. Now that we have a baby that crawls all over the floor we really notice the hair. We decided we were going to get the Dyson Animal until we g...ot to Home Depot, we had a discount coupon. We saw the Bissell, which was $300 less than the Dyson, so I did a search from my phone and noticed it had more good reviews than bad ones so we took a shot at it. Saved $300! We got it home and it was easy to assemble. I took my dog and started playing with him and petting him in one area, looked real close at all the hair on the carpet, rubbed it in a little and vacuumed. All but 2 hairs were gone. AMAZING! We vacuumed the whole room and let our baby crawl all over with dark pants on and guess what, NO HAIR all over him. LOVE IT! Now we did read how it was not the best to empty and people got the waste it all over themselves, my wife included. I advise everyone to read the directions. I love the one button release for the bottom, but if you have a lot of carpet fibers or really light particles you had best use the two button approach. Basically you can remove the whole canister and dump it in the trash, like most bagless vacuums. As for the weight; it is a little heavy but for $300 less and the pet hair removal ability I think we can stand a few extra pounds. I do wish, and maybe I haven't looked hard enough, they had the low profile attachment to get under our beds and low furniture but again I can live without it. We give it an "A" and the only reason it's not an "A+" is becuse of the weight and no low profile attachment. Read more Less

    Worst Vacuum I've ever owned

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 10, 2007 | 6 out of 7 found this Bissell 5770 Healthy Home review helpful

    Pros: NOTHING

    Cons: See my list

    I purchased this vacuum to replace an old Hoover vacuum I had. I thought with the claimed that the hepa filter would be a plus and I thought that the microban protection that would eliminate the odor was a plus. The vacuum has great suction but the b...rushes are always turning off. It doesn't have an auto adjust height so you always have to be turning the knob every time you go from carpet to bare floor or the brush stops working. All the on board tools and turbo brushes are always falling off the machine because they do not have a way to lock them on. Do not use the TurboBrush on fabric like upholstery because it will cut right though it. The front where the brushes are have a rubber edge on it so it grips onto your baseboards and makes it difficult to get close to any side walls. The Easy Empty Dirt container is the worst because you need three arms to get the dirt out. The hinge should be on the opposite end. The microban antimicrobial protection is just a sponge that does not eliminate odor. While you’re vacuuming if you turn the handle almost 90 degrees the brushes stop so this makes it difficult to vacuum a hallway or tight spaces. I tried to return the vacuum back to Linens and Things where I purchased it and they would not take it because it had been used. All and all I would not recommend it and Bissell should fire their designers that have probably never used a vacuum. Do not buy this product, you will be sorry. Read more Less

    Would not recommend

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 22, 2007 | 2 out of 3 found this Bissell 5770 Healthy Home review helpful

    Pros: can use on both bare and carpeted floors and has good suction

    Cons: tip over easily, turbo brush belt always falls off, brush only works half the time, doesn't always turn on when the button is pushed

    The price of this vacuum is unreal. I thought being that paying the extra price would mean that I would be getting an awesome vacuum. I bought a vacuum nearly 10 years ago and it's always worked fine. I've had this vacuum for 3 months and hav...e had nothing but problems. I only purchaesed a newer vacuum because I was pregnant with my first child and thought this vacuum would provide a healthier environment. I don't notice a difference, plus this vacuum is a pain. I would not recommend buying it. In fact it's on it's way back to the store, where I will purchaes another brand. Please read the pros listed above. Read more Less

    Hated It

    By precisionishorrible  Aug 10, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Bissell 5770 Healthy Home review helpful

    Pros: None

    Cons: clogs easily, very heavy

    I was going from a dyson to this piece of garbage. I was trying to save money. Don't bother. I had to clean out the hose every time I used it, and it was very heavy. Now I'm off to buy a dyson. I don't have time for a wimpy vacuum cleaner.... Read more Less

    does its job well

    By Mark  Apr 6, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Bissell 5770 Healthy Home review helpful

    Pros: incredible suction,versatile,very clean

    Cons: none yet for me.maybe heavy/bulky for some

    the main reason i use a vacuum is to pull dirt from my carpet and not redistribute it all over the house.this vacuum does that better than any vacuum that i have ever seen, plus the accessories make for easy cleaning of furniture,upholstery,and fans....does a great job on smooth surfaces.the button for brush deactivation is nice, however we still have to bend over to adjust the floor setting for it work properly on our tile floors.overall i do not see a need for any more power,this thing is already on the verge of too much.

    Love my new vac

    By ♥Pretty♥Kitty♥  May 2, 2009

    Pros: great suction, long attachment hose

    Cons: attachments not secure in storage, canister hard to empty

    With 8 cats and a dog, I was drowning in pet hair. My old Eureka Boss wouldn't even start to pick it up and after vacuuming I had to pick up furballs off the floor. One time with the Bissell and all the fur was gone! It did a great job on my curt...ains, sofas, and even the cat tree. I have vaulted ceilings and my old vac's hose wouldn't reach to clean up there. The Bissell reached easily. It's much quieter than even my mom's Kirby. I don't like the cone design of the canister which makes it a bit hard to empty. The attachments aren't secure in their storage spots and fall off which isn't great either. All in all I'm well satisfied and paid considerably less than I would have for the Dyson I looked at.

    Piece of junk

    By YoukilisIsaHomo  Apr 24, 2009

    Pros: none

    Cons: broke after three uses

    This is the worst built vacuum I've ever owned, it simply stopped working after three or four uses, the canister gets clogged at the back where it is tightest between the exterior of the cannister and the inner engine...it does have a lot of suct...ion power but is built so cheaply it breaks the first time you bump a piece of furniture, etc. Paid $169 on sale at PC Richard... lasted two months tops... soooooo angry right now Read more Less

    Great

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 19, 2008

    Pros: good suction - attachments are great

    Cons: dumping dirt out is a little tricky

    This was our first bagless vacuum. We love it! It is powerful to get up everything off floor - we have a dog and two kids. It works great. I borrowed my motherinlaws dyson and the attachments are so hard to use its not worth the extra money. The biss...ell healthy home is a little heavier but the attachments work so much easier than the dyson. I would totally recommend the Bissell Healthy Home to anyone! Read more Less

    Great...until it's not

    By Deidra  Apr 13, 2008

    Pros: it certainly does suck, great tools, can turn off beater bar

    Cons: dirt canister not too durable, telescoping wand collapses, not for area rugs

    I loved to vacuum everyday with this machine, but I had to start at the bottom of the stairs and be careful with it when it was at the top. It sucked so hard that my very thick area rugs were adhered to the bottom of it, making it nearly impossible t...o push or pull, and I had to settle for trying to use the spin brush attachment for that entire 9 by 11 area, bent over, finally resorting to tape to keep the expanding wand from collapsing, and frequently fixing its tiny belt. I have three boys, red clay soil, twod large dogs and two cats, and I love to garden, so this vac had a heavy load. if only the darn thing would come apart for user cleaning, it wouldn't have died - once I vacuumed up a water spill I couldn't see. I let it dry out thoroughly and cleaned it the best I could. It worked a couple more times, but then it wouldn't suck any more. I liked the beater bar turning off to preserve the belt. I never smelled burning rubber or had a broken belt. I have aging berber which regularly pops loose and wraps around the beater bar, so this was extremely important to me. I wanted to cry when it died. Maybe I'll try a canister next. Read more Less

    Flimsy piece of junk

    By toni  Feb 28, 2008

    Pros: While it worked, it did a good job on carpets

    Cons: Falls apart and mine burned up in less than 1 year

    I bought this because consumer reports rated it well for bagless vacuums for dust allergies and pet hair. It had great suction, but it is so cheaply made, it began falling apart within the first month. First the plastic holder for the dust container ...broke, then the carpet brush would not reliably engage when I moved from floor to carpet, then yesterday the dust container began melting on me. Now, less than a year later, it has a hole and is entirely useless. Hoping to save others from making the same mistake. Read more Less
