Bissell 3576 CleanView II Upright Cleaner

For under $100 this Bissell has been a bargain. I had a very tempermental Eureka bagless upright whose motor went out last year and I needed to replace it with something affordable and reliable. I lucked out. The cannister and filters are very accessible and easy to clean. You can vacuum upright or use the extension (has a brush-upholstery and crevice tool) for edges and hard to reach areas. It has good sucking power and is quick to put up.

I went into this purchase expecting it to be an interim vacuum until I could get the Holy Grail of vacuums, the expensive Dyson. This vacuum has worked out so well, the Dyson can wait a long time.
