Bissell 3750 Lift Off Bagless Upright Vacuum  Product Reviews

"I bought this on an amazon friday sale, for around 40 bucks I think. It works fine, has some cool features. I won't be terribly surprised if it doesn't last a couple years because its a cheap vacuum. If I wanted a vacuum that would last 5 years I would have invested more money. It is a great vacuum for the time being, and I have no complaints. It gets 4 stars because it does its job, but won't last too long most likely."

"Best vac I have ever used, No trouble, empties easily. Does not lay very flat to get under things."

"Well, after two years and two months of using this vacuum, I've discovered a serious safety hazard. The lift off canister has a power prong located at the bottom. This allows the canister to be freely lifted on and off the vacuum. Our vacuum has started smelling hot this last week. After closer inspection, the power prong located at the bottom of the canister is burned and black looking. I'm guessing this is caused by the canister not seating well and with a small bump now and again the unit must short out and arc against itself. This is a fire in the making. I've contacted Bissell, but don't expect much since we are out of our pathetic one year warranty. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this product due to the above concern. It's too bad because other than the fire hazard, it's a pretty decent vacuum. The clear container let's you see exactly what you vacuumed up. The filters are easy to clean. Good thing because they become very clogged after just a few uses. The handle reclines to a 180 degree position allowing you to easily vacuum under beds and other furniture. I would recommend finding a vacuum without a lift off canister as that is the weakest link here. Also, I'll try and find one with a longer warranty. Wish me luck......"

"I've had this lift-off bissell for a year and i wish i could return it. I orginally had a hoover for 10 years and thought i would try something different. I was attracted to the lift off part of this vacuum due to the many stairs i have. THis machine is very heavy and clumsy - the tools that come with this cleaner as not great the brush for the stairs broke after 3 months and the crevic tool is marginal. The worst thing about this machine is that you have to constantly clean and wash the filters or it does not suck. I spend more time cleaning the dirt cup than i wish to. If you dont dirt gets suck in the uppper chamber of the vac. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE. I spent over $230 for it and it was money poorly spent. "
