BISSELL Big Green Commercial Power Force Bagged Lightweight, Upright, Industrial, Vacuum Cleaner - BGU1451T

Works great. Previous order of another vacuum was lost for 6 months. Was a hassel to get Walmart gift card and credit card refunds to apply to this purchase.

This vacuum is good for its price. It is mainly plastic construction but it holds up with normal use. The power cable is two pieces (short length attached to the vacuum and a long extension) that is heavy duty and weighs a lot more than standard vacuums.

I'll split this review into two parts: the vacuum itself and the seller, Bissell Commercial (Edmar Floor Care). The vacuum is fine but noisier than I expected. The listing said 69 decibels but the label on the box when I received it said 82 decibels (see pic). I immediately contacted Bissell customer service (which is very responsive) and they said they weren't aware that the label said that and that their knowledge was that it was 69 decibels. They said just try it and if you don't like it, return it. That's when my problems started. I tried it and didn't like it because of the noise level. I was replacing an old noisy vacuum so this was a key consideration for me. I tried returning it but the Bissell customer service people didn't know how to initiate a return. They said to call Walmart directly. Walmart said they wouldn't initiate returns from third party sellers. I was stuck so I just told my credit card company and initiated a chargeback until Bissell could tell me what to do. I'm still waiting on the answer from Bissell more than a month later. The vacuum itself is good. It isn't a sealed vacuum so even if you buy good hepa filters and bags there will be points where air escapes. If you have allergies, it's probably not a good choice. It's lightweight, has a long cord, and is John Deere green. It's easy to service and access the bags and belts too. My advice here is to only buy this if you really think it's the right vacuum. Otherwise, returning it is probably not going to work.

Works well on carpeted and hard surfaces with proper brush adjustment. Hand tool is nice feature as its always there and ready to go. Decent suction for an upright. Long cord is great and not found on cheaper units. These work better and last longer than any bagless unit because dirt is deposited into bag and not sucked into motor. Check bag often, don't jam the belt, and clean it regularly it will last. My oldest unit has given me 22 years and still runs great.

I got so tired of the disposable vacuums. Decided i just wanted to go back to a bagged vacuum. Price at sams was very reasonable! I did have to find bags at a different source though. I don't like that the on/off switch is on the side of the vacuum. It would be so much better on the front of the handle. You have to be careful of the vacuum tipping over when you use the attachments, however, i think that will change when the hose loosens up with use. We are very happy with the performance and suction of this vacuum. Was a worthwhile purchase.

I expected this to be a little more vacuum since it is commercial. The heftiest part of it is the cord. The wheels seem a little cheap and wobbly. I am also having a hard time getting bags which is not making me very happy. It seems they only come in 30 and I don't want to get that many. The sweeper may not last that long. The bag inside says 7 but when I tried one I bought it didn't fit so I guess I will have to order from the company. I hope this will last but my expectations are not very high. The suction is okay but not great.

One star is for the bags, second because it’s light. Otherwise, save your money and buy a vacuum cleaner that does a better job. This vacuum cleaner doesn’t have much power to clean even a low carport. Power cord is poorly designed made of two pieces. Why? Overall poorly designed vaccine cleaner. It’s not a commercial product. I would not recommend it or buy it again.

The vacuum came broken. The top did not fit over the front of the vacuum cleaner. It was put in a winky dink box with awful packing. Whoever packed, it knew that the top did not clip on. It also came from a third-party dealer. It took many phone calls to Walmart to get my refund back. One of the worst experiences I've ever had.

Bought this Bissell commercial vaccum from walmart.com This vacuum does not have any suction using the upholstery attachment. ! I tried to do a return on walmarts web site. They sent me a Email message to contact bissell just contacted bissell now being told to contact walmart again!! Such a run around on trying to return this THING!!!!

This vacuum is horrible. On top of that I had to pay $24 shipping to return it. They won't pay return shipping even if the vacuum doesn't work! This vacuum would just throw the dirt around with the beater bar but doesn't have enough suction to pick the dirt up. Horrible unit.
