BISSELL Healthy Home Vacuum, 16N53

BUSSELL Healthy Home Vacuum
I purchased this vacuum directly from Sylvane (instead of going through Amazon) since I had a coupon. The coupon was $20, which brought the price from $199.99 to $179.99. I see that Amazon is now matching the lower price. I like this vacuum a lot. We bought it because our old Vacuum sucked up a screw buried in the carpet and it destroyed the impeller blade. (In the old vacuum, the air flow started at the floor, through the impeller and then into the bag/filter. I wanted a vacuum that the air flow went from the floor through the filter and then through the impeller and then out into the room. This has two advantages which are demonstrated in the Healthy Home Vacuum. First, I vacuumed the entire house and there was no layer of dust generated. Since the bag/filter section is in the suction path, all the dust stays in the vacuum. The second advantage is that small objects won't get stuck in the impeller and cause destruction.

The vacuum is lighter than my old vacuum...

very powerful
My sister has owned this vac for three years no problems. I have owned the healthy home vac for 1.5 years no problems at all.
This is flat out the most powerful and versatile machine I have ever owned and I am 51 years old. It has tremedous suction. The upolstery rotating brush attachment runs very powerful. All the attachments are fabulous along with the long power cord.
I tried a dirt devil and returned it for this machine. The dirt devil was a complete failure.
The only down fall of healthy homes vac is it is very heavy. It really pulls up the nap. Push it before you buy and make sure you can handle the weight. Highly recommended !!!

Best vacuum for removing pet hair from rugs
I finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase this vacuum after borrowing my friend's to remove the imbedded dog hair from my large area rugs and hardwood floors. It is amazing in picking up the hairs that my other vacuums left in the rugs after using them. It works! My dog sheds like crazy and this does the trick.
