Amazon.com Review
Offering optimal power and convenience, the Bissell CleanView Revolution Deluxe vacuum is designed for thorough vacuuming. The CleanView Revolution's bag-less system is easy to empty and won't spill all over the carpet you just vacuumed. Seven height adjustments let you customize the Revolution to nearly any carpet or floor texture. This innovative upright features Bissell's exclusive TurboBrush for cleaning upholstery and stairs with ease. A bright headlight illuminates the work, so there are no spots missed. An easy-empty dirt cup replaces the traditional bag system for less downtime and more economical use. A HEPA filter captures over 99.9 percent of dust mites, pollens, and ragweed while you vacuum, for cleaner indoor air and healthier lungs. A wire-reinforced hose, a 35-foot power cord, a handy extension wand, a crevice tool, and a multipurpose tool help you access the far reaches of the house, and get the nooks and crannies cleaner than ever before. A clean-filter indicator lets you know when it's time to empty the dust cup so you're always sure you're operating at maximum efficiency. And, Bissell's Clean Carpet Sensor indicates when all the tiniest bits and pieces of debris have been sucked from the carpet so you can move on. A 15-inch cleaning path is easy to maneuver through table and chair legs. A beefy, 12 amp motor provides enough suction to clean heavy debris off hard floors. On-board tools vacuum upholstery, drapes, furniture, blinds, shelves, baseboards and much more. Your purchase is covered by a limited 1-year warranty. --Brian Olson

Excellent vacuum for the money
I originally purchased a Bissell Cleanview Powertrak for my elderly parents because of the dirt sensor light which I thought would be helpful to them because of their vision problems. I was not prepared for the sheer quantity of dirt, dust and fiber it picks up in a house that is regularly cleaned and sees very little traffic. So I bought the Revolution for my house, which has a ton of traffic plus pets, females with long hair and messy gardeners. On first use, I was appalled by the amount of crud it picked up on what I considered a clean carpet (in contradiction of an earlier reviewer, particularly pet hair).

Some observations:

1. It has 3 filters that have to be periodically checked and cleaned (it has an air flow indicator which alerts you that the filters need attention). If you have a large home, you may have to dump the dirt cup a few times, especially if you have natural fiber carpeting (e.g., wool) or multiple pets.

2. There is no way to disengage the rotating brush, so if you have fringed area rugs, you may want to consider something else.

3. It is made of lightweight plastic, but it's not particularly light. Still, it's manageable up a flight of 13 narrow stairs with one hand.

4. It is relatively loud.

5. You have to bend over to change the height settings for different carpet/bare floor settings. It does a remarkably good job on bare floor.

6. The attachments are handy and easy to use. The Turbo Brush does an admirable job on carpeted stairs.

7. The dirt sensor is an unconditionally wonderful thing.

So, bottom-line, if you are a reasonably healthy adult, able to lift and bend, don't have noise-sensitive neighbors, live in an average-sized space, don't have a lot of fancy fringed area rugs or breed Himalayans, and want an excellent, inexpensive vacuum, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this one.

I've now had 2 of these with the same problem
First of all, I never leave negative reviews of products on Amazon because I hate being a complainer. I felt the need to warn others about my experience with this model. I was so excited about this vacuum when I first got it. Everything was awesome. The suction is great, the cord is longer than other models. I didn't have any problems with it whatsoever and was prepared to happily keep this for years. After about 5 weeks of normal use, it started making a horrible noise and a strong burning odor filled my house. My husband took it apart and the belt had slipped off and was melting the plastic next to it. He fixed it once and then it happened again. I notified Amazon and they let me return it for a replacement (hoping it was just a freak incident). Well just yesterday, after 6 weeks of use, my 2nd vacuum did the exact same thing. I am so frustrated because I love this vacuum. I read some other reviews about problems with the belt. I told Amazon to let Bissell know about it so they can recall it. I have another Bissell model and have never had a problem with it, so this is in no way a negative review of the Bissell brand. I just wanted to let potential buyers know that there's a pretty good possibility that this could happen to other units as well. Please shop around before you take a chance on this.

An excellent product
I have for about 2 months. What I like about this product:
1. Light weight! -- I read other reviews about it being light but did not think it would make that much of a difference but it really does.

2. Emptying the dirt container is simple and neat. I had worried about the container spilling dirt and dust when emptying. This has not been a problem

3. Maintains good suction

4. On board tools easy to use.

5. Can vacuum throw rugs.

Overall an excellent product for an excellent price.
