More for less!!
So pleased, so light compared to the vacuum it replaced. It also really picks up the dust that we were missing. Delivered to our home the same day we ordered.

    powerForce Helix
    The power force bisell vacuum cleaner is powerful for hair, dog, debris and dust to be removed and it leaves your rug, looking new and you could clean the bare floor with a push button. I highly recommend this product... Don't get the compact because, you'll regret buying the product...powerForce helix upright vacuum 2191 series, is excellent and inexpensive... I'm enjoying and glad to own this product.

    Great vacuum :)
    It came in quick within a few days. It was very easy to assemble and put the screws into the handle. Did it all within a few minutes and was able to clean that same hour. As for the cleaning, I didn't have to go over areas in my carpet too many times. It collected even the smallest amounts of dirt in this old carpet. Overall? It's small and light so that's good for a person like me living in a small area. I love it and I was excited to use it.

    Best vacuum I've had!!
    I got it for fun since it was on sale, and I have an old Bissell that I had just vacuumed with the previous day. Then I tested this vacuum out for fun on a newly cleaned carpet, and this (pictured below) is what this new vacuum got that my old one didn't..!! (Ps, I use powder to freshen the carpet so that's most of what it is..) I had no idea how little suction was left of the old one until I tried this new one, and the only thing still holding me back is that the old one had a "power cord rewind" option, so I wouldn't even have to touch the cord when I was done-- just step on a pedal and it wraps the cord up for me... I just wish this vacuum had that option like the old one, but other than that, the suction is AMAZING and it gets carpet and hardfloors and even in between all the same!!

    Bissell 2191U not good for dust cleaning. Dont Buy
    Bissell 2191U upright vacuum cleaner is horrible for dust cleaning. whatever dust it picks from the floor or carpet, throws back into the house from the sides. plus the machine noise is like a thunder storm. I had a vacuum of different brand for 10 years, worked great. I broke its dust can. so thought of buying another one. I am not telling the grand or model of my old vacuum, since am not promoting any brand. my real and true feedback for Bissell 2191U is that it is not good at all and please DO NOT BUY this. buy better ones of Bissell or other brands. i will attach a picture too of how much dust it caught on its sides. and so much of it released in my room.

    Small but Mighty!
    I wasn't looking for a new vacuum, I was most content with my super expensive, still relatively new Shark and vacuumed every few days. But I began to notice my high-pile rug had developed a slightly gray tinge and realized that it just wasn't doing the job. I bought the Bissell because I wanted an upright and a lot of the reviews boasted on its suction power. For the price, it was worth a shot. And boy, it delivered. This is what it pulled up from the 9x12 high-pile rug today. That I had just vacuumed with the Shark yesterday. Ew. Definitely has earned the title "PowerForce". I'm extremely impressed and absolutely disgusted with what's been sitting in my carpet for months.

    Decent vaccum. Prone to overheating. See review.
    Decent vacuum overall. Easy to assemble and maintain. After 3 months of regular use the base of my vacuum overheated and melted the belt and 2 plastic O-rings that hold the belt in place. This made rolling the vacuum over a carpet/floor useless as the belt controlled the brush to pick stuff up. Hose still works for vacuum however. The manufacturers warranty will not cover the belt and they don't think the O-rings are necessary even though they prevent the belt from slipping. Bissell's customer service is god awful. I would recommend buying the protection plan for this item for this reason alone. Their customer service was much better and I was able to get a full refund to purchase a second vacuum.

    Y'all!! Get this vacuum!
    Ok I'm not one to write reviews nor look at them bc most reviews are incentivized BUT had to write a review with this one. I vacuum like every day and *thought my Hoover vacuum was good but apparently I was just seeing lines. My daughter had some breathing/allergy issues a while back so I ordered air purifier, humidifier, and etc but apparently all I needed was a new vacuum. The pictures attached are 1st was JUST my room. I emptied and vacuumed again and 2nd pic is same room 2nd time! I was shocked at the filth!

    Very disappointed
    It worked fine for 6 months then I got a little plastic toy stuck in the brush bar. I took the cover off and removed the plastic toy and put the cover back on. Turned it back on and it was still making a terrible noise. Took the cover off again to find the brush bar had sheared right in two. I've never seen anything so ridiculous. How in the world can it snap in half like that.

    Buy it!!
    Great vacuum, before purchasing this vacuum I had a cheap $25 vacuum. This vacuum picked up so much dirt when I first used it. I didn't realize my house had so much dirt. So happy I spend a little extra and purchased this vacuum, well worth the price!

    Incredibly impressed
    I am amazed by this vacuum. I got it based on the reviews, but even so, I had low expectations. I am chronically ill and use a cane as well as having weakened, fatigue, and dizziness. Anyway, my vacuum for carpet was just way too much for me and I was really hoping something lighter might allow me to not be so completely wiped out when I vacuum. So far so good. It's incredibly light. It also is incredibly effective. We vacuum daily, so my carpet was already vacuumed today. I was still able to get a truly ridiculous (see photo) amount of dust out of my carpet. We've been using a good, expensive vacuum, so I honestly was shocked. I immediately sent the photo and synopsis with recommendation to my mom and a couple of friends who promptly ordered. I definitely recommend.

    AMAZING!!
    I got this vacuum today mainly for pet hair, and it works great. The suction is amazing and the vacuum itself is lightweight which makes pushing it around easier. There's a washable filter and the dust bin attached is pretty large. Overall very impressed with with the quality of the vacuum. Not sure how long it will hold up but a love so far!

    This is magic
    I needed a new vacuum cleaner after my roommate moved out. The floors had already been vaccines but when I got this one, I decided to go over the floors again. The whole thing filled up with dust, pet hair and who knows what. I have lived here for a year and have never had an animal. This shows just how amazing this vacuum cleaner is! I am sure that my allergies will be a lot better now that I have this thing. The only regret I have is that I didnt buy it sooner. It is 100,000% worth the purchase.

    One Year In. Zero Issues.
    One Year Since Buying Review: After using an older and seemingly stronger/ better built Bissell vacuum for years in our previous apartment, we got this one for our new small house (roommate took the old one). I have zero complaints about this product. We use it twice a month on carpeting (height set to 3) and vinyl flooring (height set to 1). It works better than our Roomba which we run weekly. We also got a dog in March who sheds very light soft white fur constantly. We now use the brush attachment to get our couches and chairs which work fairly well! The only reason I'm writing this review is because I thought to myself: wow...even if this thing crapped out on me now—50 bucks for a year's worth of solid use is pretty good. But it's showing no signs of stopping as of now. I see no difference between this and my mom's $500 vacuum, other than the fact that her house in 5x larger... So if you're just like “well we need a vacuum,” then look no further. I wish the stupid accent colors weren't blue or whatever the other option is, but that's hardly a gripe. Just makes it look cheap...but it lives in the closet so who cares?!

    Holy moly!
    I had no idea my house was so dirty! I was skeptical at first because of the price, but this thing sucked up everything with breeze. I have two dogs who constantly shed and a cat, plus I have long hair, this thing took care of it like nothing. Easy to assemble, lightweight, and has five settings for different flooring. Very happy with this purchase. Picture is after first use in the three rooms I use in my four bedroom house (I live alone)

    WOW -- this little guy DELIVERS ON ITS PROMISES!
    I bought this vacuum based on the great reviews, and I'm not disappointed at all! I just moved into a new apartment (new to me, not a new build) and immediately prior, the carpets had been professionally cleaned. The picture shows you what this little guy pulled out of the newly "cleaned" carpet. Amazing! I really like that this vacuum is small and light, as it makes it so much easier to push around. The plastic parts may put a lot of people off, but this product really does seem sturdy and well-made. And I just cannot stress how powerful it is, despite the fact that it is small. BUY THIS! You won't be sorry!

    Delivery above and beyond
    Forgot that after 7pm we have a security gate that shuts...delivery figured it out since I was at work no not near a phone. Thank you and appreciate the FAST delivery. Put the new Vac together and even though I had just vacuumed it found DIRT! Very Happy.
