I was not too thrilled to find out that my vacuum broke. When you’re on a budget, the last thing you want to spend money on is something that you need, but don’t necessarily enjoy doing. But with two kids and a dog, vacuuming is not something I can skip doing.Now I would love to get a Dyson. My mil has the Dyson Animal and she loves it. However, spending that kind of money on a vacuum, right now, is just not in the cards. So I headed to Target. I knew nothing about the different vacuum brands. The only thing I did know was that I did not want a Eureka. That was the one I recently had that only lasted just over a year (such a piece of shit).
I spent almost 30 minutes or longer looking at each and every vacuum and going over what I liked and disliked about each one. Every time I thought I found one I liked, I kept going back to this Bissell. I had it narrowed down between this Bissell and a Hoover. While the Hoover was a little less, I just couldn’t stop looking at this particular vacuum. Why? For one simple reason…This vacuum was both an upright AND a canister. I can detach the canister and carry it for easy cleaning of those hard to reach areas and for doing the stairs. Not only that, but Target had the vacuum on sale for $169.99 PLUS you get a $20.00 Target gift card!
Now I’ve used this vacuum twice since getting it (got it on Saturday) and I love it! You can feel how well it suctions and it really cleans the carpet well! It was almost gross how full the dirt compartment was after the first vacuuming. And I vacuum every day!
I would definitely recommend this vacuum to anyone and everyone. Definitely shop around and see which store has it for the cheapest price or who may be offering some other incentive like the store gift card.
